Chapter 100: An untameable wife.
In the crown princess's bedchamber, the warm glow of the fireplace was dancing on the wall, casting flickering
shadows on the precious stone walls. Sigrid was standing in front of a mirror, her maids were helping her out of
the gown she had worn to dinner.
"How many of your most handsknights can | count on to make an appearance, they need to be measured
for appealing outfits tomorrow?"
Roland did not think that there was a more disagreeable woman in all of Eldoria than his wife, she was incapable
of being subdued when she made her mind up about something, like the scandalous bachelor’s auction bid
which she was planning.
Lanai helped Sigrid into a night gown and stepped out, she sat in the chair in front of the mirror, brushing her
long hair while Roland changed into a comfortable robe.
"Sigrid, I am still uncertain about this bachelor’s auction ball." His tone was filled with concern.
She walked to the bed and sat down in the middle, facing him with eyes that sparkled, filled with determination.
"You are uncertain but | am certain. It is a wonderful idea and it will raise funds for the hungry people in the
North. By the end of the end everyone will be drunk and merry, praising it as the best ball they have ever
attended."
Roland sighed, climbing onto the bed and laying down face up next to her with his head propped on a pillow. His
feet slowly danced as he imagined the scandalized nobles. "It will be an uproar Sigrid, auctioning off eligible
bachelors, my God!!! It is rather scandalous."
"Everyone loves a good scandal." She climbed over his his body and sat down on his chest. A soft smile played
on her lips as she looked at him. "We cannot throw a lavish ball so we might as well throw a fun one. When the
young lords hear that women will be bidding money on them, they will be more than willing to participate in
order to see how much they fetch in comparison to their competitors."
Roland furrowed his brow, obviously convinced still. "I think | need to have the fishwives and gossip talk with you
again. My love, your unconventional gowns are already the subject of discussion, if you throw this ball, we might
as well toss our reputations out of the window."
She shook her head, "Roland, we are facing and will face much bigger challenges in future, this is just just a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtparty, you don’t need to overthink it."
Lowering her upper body, she brushed her lips across his cheek and drew in a deep breath. "I will take care of it
all." she moved her head, brushing her nose over his before lowering her lips to kiss his mouth lightly. "You just
have to support me, as long as you do that | will handle everything." She slowly caressed his chest through the
open buttons on his robe.
Roland gulped, temptation was setting in and he knew that it would cloud his judgement, this was how gods fell
from grace, he was certain, lust, made sinful mortals of them.
Sigrid twisted her body slowly, moving down to hover over his manhood, there were other ways to convince him
to caround that were quicker. She could see the twinkle in his eyes, he was anticipating her next move.
She lifted the hem of her night gown and just before she could raise it, a loud banging on their door stunned
them both.
Her hands froze and she turned to the door. "Who is it?"
"Your highness, the king has sent for both of you." Butler Charles's voice cfrom the other end.
She swung one leg over and climbed off of Roland, sitting down for a moment, she looked at her husband with
concern in her eyes. The king sending for the two of them at this tof night was not a good sign. Had
something happened in the royal castle?
"Why do you think he has sent for us?" she asked.
Roland shook his head, he was just as lost as she was. "It can’t be good."
"You don’t suppose that someone important has died, right?"
He frowned and got off the bed, he did not want to think that the case was so, three major people lived in the
royal castle, the king, queen and secondary consort. The king was alive which left two other people as options? If
death was the cause of their summoning, he hoped it was Rina not his mother.
The door was opened from the outside, Sigrid’s maids and Roland's personal butler moved in with haste. Within
two minutes, they were both dressed and rushing down the stairs.
To her surprise, Mauve and Lady Elsworth were up, dressed as well and it looked like they were planning to
follow. "Mauve!" she exclaimed in surprise. "Are you planning to follow us?"
Mauve nodded. "Day or night, that’s what | signed up for."
Sigrid did not have tto stop her, Roland was impatient enough as it was so they just left the house, entered
carriages and rushed to the royal castle at a very incredible speed. It took them only twenty minutes to arrive
and withing thirty five minutes of being summoned, the couple found themselves standing before the king and
queen.
Roland sighed in relief, his mother was alive, as for Rina if she was dead it was for the best.
After a polite exchange of greetings, king Raff got down to the reason as to why they had been summoned.
"I have heard that you are planning a ball." he said in a serious voice.
Sigrid clenched her buttocks and her insides rolled, it looked like another party pooper was about to step in her
plans and ruin them. Anyway, she had convinced Roland to con board, she did not believe that it was
impossible to do the swith the king and queen.
"Yes we are." she answered confidently.
"Why?" The queen questioned.
Roland tilted his head to the right, confused held steady in his eyes. Since when did people need a reason to
throw a ball?

She was familiar with royal expectations, all good ideas had to be attributed to her superior and the bad ones to
herself.
