Chapter 159: She cannot hibernate.
She did not even have to think about the answer, it was already available. "Didn't she run around half-naked in
our lake last week? Now is the tfor those pictures and a short video to make an appearance."
When he did not respond, she opened her eyes and sat up, noticing that he was frowning. Her mind immediately
associated it with what she intended to do with Emmah and she thought that perhaps Roland did not agree with
it. "What's wrong? Do you think that | am cruel? | am a woman after all and here | am, getting ready to ruin
another woman."
"That's not it," he slowly rotated her right foot before moving to the left one. His eyes were distant, gazing int he
direction of the cackling fire place. "I am thinking ahead. picturing what will happen after those pictures and
video is released.
If you put the wound on her face together with the public shaming and scandal which will no doubt follow, | think
she will not leave the house for a while. If she doesn’t leave the house, how will you deal with her?"
Sigrid was impressed, Roland would have made a great attorney. He was right, Emmah could not be allowed to
go into hiding otherwise the mission would drag on and Sigrid would risk losing another baby or dying like she
was supposed to in the .
"She cannot hibernate, its not good for me__us. | guess | will be sending her sface cream in your name. We
will make sure that everyone knows that you helped your savior when she was in such a difficult time. It will be
better if you are overheard saying something like, there is more to women that what is beneath their clothes.
Miss Emmah behaved inappropriately but she has a good heart and her careless mistake is worth overlooking.
Not only will it make it look like you are on her side and confuse her more as she will once again be undecided
between you, Benjamin and Roland but it will make women respect, love and support you. Your popularity will
outgrow Benjamin's."
It frightened Roland how his wife’s mind worked sometimes. Every the took two steps ahead, she took ten
more and thought beyond the scope of his imagination.
And so the plotting continued, Sigrid aimed to turn her husband into Eldoria’s most beloved prince.

At this stime, in the city, the royal castle to be exact, prince Galen had his head bowed slightly before his
father the king. The King was looking at three papers that Galen had brought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You say that is this map of the fifth piece of the shard."
Galen raised his head and nodded, in a more authoritative voice laden with confidence he answered, "Yes father,
| have confirmed it more that two times. Five days ago, | happened to cupon a caravan of singing dwarves
passing through the canal of Saint Topher. One of them was was drunk and happened to loose sof his
property which got into my hands."
King Raff laughed, he was sure that his son had played a part in getting the dwarf drunk. It was more likely that
Galen had stolen the three papers. One was a map that led somewhere in medicine valley, the other was an
underground path to Nemoris and on the last paper were words written in a language the king could not
decipher. "Where did the dwarves originate?"
"Medoris." Galen answered.
He knew that his father would be angered and he was. "Those bastards, how dare they cross into my kingdom?
Did you slaughter every last one of them?"
Galen nodded, king Raff looked upon him with pride. For the first time, he saw his wandering carefree son as
worthy.
"| also left men behind to guard that road leading to the underground path through which Nemorians have been
crossing into our kingdom." A wicked smile blessed Galen's lips. "I am more than sure that if my younger brother
Benjamin had gone to Saint Topher as you instructed we would have discovered this sooner."
King Raff showed sdispleasure on his face when the nof his favorite son was mentioned. In the old
days, that nwould have him smiling, lately, it did the opposite.
"I had forgotten that he disobeyed my orders and he is among those blind fools demanding for my fairy dew. |
never thought that your brother would beca fool for a woman. He has lost his poise as a member of this
royal family. He pants after that common girl like a thirsty dog and he had abandoned his duties in my court."
The king slammed his right hand on the armrest of his throne. Where is Benjamin?"
A knight that was standing next to the king answered, "At the town house which is owned by the prminister.
The entire Windrider family moved there after the unfortunate fire, the third prince has been spending many
hours there. If he is not there, he is usually found visiting every alchemist, hospital or the mage estate in search
of a cure for Miss Emmah Windrider’s face."
King Raff was even more displeased by this news. As an adult son of the king, rather than helping out in handling
his father’s worries, he was running around doing useless things.
Galen decided that he had not poured enough oil on the fire he had set. Nonchalantly, he said, "My brother is
truly in love, he is actually planning to go to Sheepsfield, into the medicine valley to find the mysterious herb
that cures all ailments and poisons."
King Raff almost pulled out his sword

He was practically growling as he looked around for the herald. "Pass my order, the third prince is grounded to
his estate until my say so. From today, he is not allowed to step beyond the gates of his home. If he disobeys my
decree, throw him in prison."
The decree was written and handed off to one of the king's advisors that set off immediately with sred
knights to deliver the king's message.
