The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 394: The return of a first love.

Cosmos knew what choice she would make, she was already making it clear in her wording. "I say her crowning moment."

Sigrid eyes lit up, she smiled like someone anticipating the most wonderful moment of their lives. That was because she was imagining that look of horror and surprise on Emmah’s face as she dragged her by the neck and pulled her into the darkness.

Of course, this was after sharing with everyone the fact that she was a murderer. It would be so thrilling. Sigrid’s blood pulsed violently in expectation.

"I hate to break up your bloody thoughts of terror but you have another problem that has arrived in Eldoria without the knowledge of your organization." Cosmos told her. "And quite frankly, as it poses no danger to your life, I ignored it. But I might as well share it now."

"What now?" She asked wearily.

Her peace was about to be disturbed by some random plot that was outside the book. What else was new?

"Well, your husband has fought in many wars, I can give you a specific number but I will not because it is not necessary." Cosmos started. "Some were not for Eldoria but neighboring kingdoms that are on good terms with your empire. Brothers in arms, that kind of thing which is signed in treaties. You send an army when I am in trouble because we are friends and I send an army when you are in trouble, for the same reasons."

"I have understood Cosmos." she said with a bit of impatient.

The sound of another glass heel cracking was heard. Sigrid reached for a can of potato chips and crunched one. Each time a glass heel cracked, she ate a chip. It was a game that she was playing by herself.

"Okay, so he met and saved a woman in one of those wars when he was eighteen. Her name was....is Dove Wheatley. So, she and her group stayed with the soldiers for a while...oh...and she is a mage and a healer. She spent some time with your husband...three months to be exact."

"If you say they have a child together I will cut you." Sigrid sat up and became more attentive.

Mage+healer sounded like an Emmah combination. And they had also met in a war zone, it was the perfect setting for a sob wrecking romance movie.

But, come to think of it now, that mage+healer combination was also her!!

Roland seemed to be a magnet for female mages who liked to heal!!

"No child, they were not involved intimately. Have you forgotten that he was a virgin when he married you?" Cosmos asked her.

"Oh right." She smiled.

"But...." Cosmos winced, "They formed a friendship, a companionship. She was the one that introduced him to poetry and she taught him how to eat figs."

"Figs!!" Sigrid exclaimed.

She had never seen Roland eating a fig.

"He doesn’t like them but she talked him into eating a few during their time together." Cosmos explained. "I think that I should put this in a simple way. He never held her hand but he dreamed of doing so. He even thought of asking her to return to Eldoria with him as his crown princess. She was his first crush."

"Bring this to the end Cosmos, why are we talking about Dawn?" She asked.

"Dove." Cosmos corrected.

She glared at him. A chuckling couple approached the corner and she hissed at them. Startled, the woman squealed and the couple rushed away. It should have been funny as she planned but it was not. Cosmos had ruined it with his Dork talk.

Eavesdropping on her thoughts, Cosmos shook his head. "Again, she is Dove not Dawn or Dork. Also, she suddenly left one day and he never heard from her. It was his first...I want to say heartbreak but it does not really qualify. The reason as to why I am bringing this up now is because Dove is here."

Sigrid raised her eyebrows and asked slowly, "Here..where? Eldoria?"

"The ball." Cosmos blurted out.

Sigrid gasped as if she had been shocked back to life from unconsciousness. "Why didn’t you start with that? Where is she?"

She stood up abruptly and the plate of chips fell down. Quickly, she started to walk into the crowd of guests, hoping to find her husband before he rekindled an old flame. Things like first love were dangerous. They left one longing for what could have been.

As a lawyer, she had done a lot of dirty work for men and women with wealth that decided to divorce their partners and re-marry their first loves. Apparently, there was something very special and pure about the love one found in their younger days which they could not find after maturing.

"Sigrid!" Lady Iryne exclaimed and pulled her daughter’s hand. "There you are, I have been looking for you everywhere because everyone wants to see your gown." Her voice was sharper towards the end.

Lady Iryne was confused. Sigrid looked nothing like any fairy tale character they knew of. Her gown was aquamarine blue and green with some silver. It spread out in what looked like a fish tail at the bottom. Around the chest area, it was as if clams were covering her breasts.

"What are you wearing?" Lady Iryne nearly melted like a witch on fire.

Sigrid waved her wand and three dozen story books on the little mermaid which Cosmos had prepared to launch in a fortnight appeared. "I am the little mermaid." She answered abruptly. "Mom, I have to go or a Dork will be the next crown princess and I will have to return here in shame."

"Huh!" Lady Iryne exclaimed. "What are you talking about?"

Mauve and Christie came from somewhere in the crowd and they managed to help Sigrid escape her mother’s clutches. They followed her away from the gardens and got into the car.

Sigrid personally took the wheel, driving towards the set of the dark rise of Lady Blanche. On reaching, Sigrid stepped out of the car, lifted her gown on the sides and marched inside with a fury lined face.

Mauve and Christie followed, scurrying like mice to keep up.

Sigrid run into Rudbeck and his eyes widened. He opened his mouth to say or shout something. Sigrid sealed it with magic and warned him, "Alert him and you are dead. If I find any silly business inside, I will kill you and him and every knight guarding this place."

In a small window, right above Roland, a pigeon suspiciously cooed.noveldrama
