Chapter 131: Reviews for the ball.
Sigrid was in a bright mood the following mood, nothing could bring her down. Not Sunny the dog, that was
eating out of a plate on the table or Emmah that had decided to play the role in the movie titanic which she was
also directing.
The reviews for the ball were in and they could not have been more positive. Better still, her picture was on the
front page of the paper, praising her gown and her intelligence for planning the ball of the century.
"Eldoria’s most beautiful crown princess stuns in gold!!"
"Praise for the Bachelor's Auction Ball that brought in a staggering amount if money."
"A king worth the most precious elixir; Faeloria’s princess shows her love in the most exaggerated way."
"A champagne fight: noble ladies tussling over the best alcohol."
"Caught in the act: A secret love affair between a Thorin and a Givenchy."
"Also caught in the act: Miss Florence Windrider and Lord Richard Durin, son of Viscount Jonathan Durin."
Sigrid’s lips curved upwards when she that headline and the picture of the couple the moment when they were
caught. The couple had ctogether thanks to Sigrid’s arrangements of course, with a little magic in the air.
With the publicizing of the scandal, Florence Windrider would not be marrying the king or Benjamin.
The news had covered everything from the beautiful to the ugly, and even slyly included a picture of the queen
walking out while the king twirled the new love of his life around.
"The reviews are amazing, | should throw another ball." Sigrid declared to the great horror of Mrs. Elsworth.
The governess could only imagine what other out of the box idea the crown princess would cup with.
"A magic Mike ball." Sigrid blurted out.
Roland was reading the paper, he folded it and raised his eyebrows. "What in the blazes is that?"
Without thinking Sigrid blurted out exactly what was on her mind. "Half naked men, knights to be specific
dancing for the ladies of the ton. A live band, glamorous outfits, kissing booths and...." She stopped when she
saw the looks of horror that were being sent her way.
"Your highness , no!" Mrs. Elsworth literally screamed in fright. "Princess, that sounds a ball of sin, a night in a
brothel!!!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMauve laughed, it was a scandalous idea. True. But, Mrs. Elsworth did not need to make it seem as if Sigrid would
open the gates to hell by planning such a ball.
"I am with Mrs. Elsworth." Roland chimed in.
Sigrid smiled and lied through the teeth. "I am kidding."
She was not, and if she could not execute her idea as a ball, she would have turn into a thnight at the
enchanting parlor. On second thought, she frowned as she reconsidered the idea because noble women would
never step foot in a brothel, not if they could not help it. Sadly, they were her target market.
"Relax everyone, | am not throwing such a ball. Every priest in Eldoria would probably line up outside the Vale
with holy water, eager to redeem my soul."
Roland had no more words to contribute and he gave his attention to his dog, watching Sigrid eat with a smile on
his face.
"What are your plans for today?" he asked.
"I plan to visit the mage estate, | have an alchemy room there where | do research on magic with Elowin. We are
finishing up a major project today, if it is successful we will be able to introduce live television all over the
kingdom and finally, people will not have to wait for one episode of lady Blanche daily."
"Live television." he repeated after her, sounding the word out.
"What about you? Are you going for another ride or attending morning court?"
"The king was exhausted after yesterday’s ball, there will be no morning court today. But, the prminister has
been requesting to see him on an urgent matter for over a fortnight now.
| guess he wants to reveal the matter of the Luminite mine in private. If | am not wrong, he will request for
knights to be given to him by the king to execute a search at your family estate.
When he finds the evidence he is looking for, he will arrest your entire family and parade them through the city
on ropes while escorting them to prison. His goal is to humiliate you."
"I think he will be busy planning a wedding now." She turned the paper and showed him the picture of Florence
and Jonathan. "He must be burning with fury right now. | know | would be if my carefully cultivated pawn
suddenly becuseless."
"If he finds out that you were behind this...." Roland shook his head.
"He won't. She laughed. "But whether he is aware or not | am quite certain that he blamesanyway, after all,
his daughter was ruined at my ball."
Sigrid pushed the plate away, walked to him and kissed his cheek, then excused herself from his company.

Mrs. Elsworth did not need to be told twice, she curtsied and hurried out of the room to keep an eye on two of
the most reckless women she had ever met.
Roland stood by a window and watched Sigrid’s carriage leaving the Vale. Then he put down the newspaper and
the look in his eyes changed. Gone was the warm man and returned was the warrior mage knight.
The doors of the dining room where opened and Sir Samuel brought in a man that had been blindfolded and his
hands bound. The man was forced onto his knees with a kick to one of his ankles and then the blindfold was
removed.
"This is the thief that was captured last night your highness, one of the knights recognized him. He sneaked into
the castle as a server at the ball and remained behind after all the guests and help were gone.

Roland sat down, sighed and put his sword on the table.
