Chapter 95: Forcing a horse offtrack.
Mauve bent over the railing, observing the interaction through Sigrid’s binoculars.
"If | were a betting woman, my money would be on that Mrs. Bumblebert, she is not easy to deal with. Her
tongue cuts sharper than glass, just look at her. She is running circles around everyone by taking advantage of
her age. You are right, she is shameless."
Mauve chuckled deliciously, she was enjoying what she considered to be Emmah’s take down immensely.
With a scoff, she added, "She plans to serve the king who does she think she is? Did the king offer her a position
in his court? She did not even bat her eyes or claim her innocence when she was accused of climbing into your
husband's bed."
Sigrid sneered, "Why would she? The rumor is good for her and a slap in my face."
"That is why | call her second Rina." Mauve said and she laughed gleefully along with Sigrid.
They continued to watch the mess outside which Roland was now fed up with and he was ready to head inside to
avoid further interaction with Mrs. Bumblebert.
When he turned to leave, Emmah latched onto his hand out of the blue.
"Your highness, let's go in, this woman is crazy."
The crowd was not sure how to react, Emmah’s hand on Roland's arm was a big deal. Unless it was his wife or a
relative, it was a big deal if the crown prince held another woman in public.
"Ooh, I am going to dismantle her right now." Mauve groaned.
Sigrid shook her head and stopped her friend. "Don’t bother, Emmah doesn’t even see what she is doing. Right
now, she has to decided between public opinion and explaining the issue to Roland, guess which she is most
desperate to do?"
"Explain to the prince | guess." Mauve answered uncertainly.
Sigrid nodded, "If you want a horse to go offtrack, you must put out so many obstacles and distractions that it
takes the wrong path without realizing."
Emmah was the horse, while she was busy running after Roland, she would not accomplish much. By this tin
the original book, she had opened a restaurant, sent for her mother, owned a house in the capital and she had
met with the king who she pleased immensely that he made her the assistant of the Lord mage.
Her reputation as the divine messenger was spotless, a dozen suitors were running after her and she was

Also, she would also be working with Lord Bailey to change the laws on marriage. But now she was far offtrack,
Sigrid was slowly reducing her into one of those book characters that only run after men.
Emmah’s actions were frowned upon, especially in the light of those circumstances.
"You dirty slut, how dare you do this in public!" An enraged Mrs. Bumblebert stood up and run towards Emmah
and Roland.
Before the knights could intervene, she pulled Emmah away from Roland and slapped her. "How dare you do this
to my son? | can see that what people are saying is true."
She put a hand in Emmah’s hair and pulled on it roughly, Emmah screamed and shoved Mrs. Bumblebert away
with strength but the older woman attacked again with vigor. Suddenly, a scuffle ensued, which took everyone
by surprise.
The knights intervened, pulling the two women apart, Mrs. Bumblebert was shrieking and Emmah was pale.
Roland did not know how to handle the issue so he just started walking into the castle gates, quickening his
steps.
To wrap up the moment, Emmah put a hand on her mouth, coughed up sblood, displayed her palm out for
everyone to see the blood and then she fainted.
"There we go." Sigrid chuckled.
For a moment, there was stunned silence and then two knights rushed out from a royal carriage that was just
arriving, it belonged to the princess Thalassa. One of the knights carried Emmah and started running into the
Vale but before he could enter, a line of servants commanded by one stern faced woman blocked him.
"I demand passage, miss Emmah is sick, she needs to see a doctor immediately." The knight said.
The stern faced woman maintained her stoic face. "This is the residence of the crown prince and princess, not a
public hospital. As you can see, miss Emmah’s presence has stirred up a lot of inappropriate trouble, it will be
best if her medical care is sought from somewhere else from now on. The crown prince will cover all expenses of
course." She looked back and waved her hand.
Out from the Vale, a carriage was driven out, the stern faced woman looked at the driver and instructed, "See to
it that she is situated appropriately, after which, rent a house for her on Waterbeer row.
Make sure that it is fully furnished and pay one year worth of rent and groceries to be delivered weekly. Hire two
servants for her, they will be paid by this estate for a year after which, if miss Emmah wishes to retain the, she
must undertake their payments personally.
Also, visit a dressmaker and retain a year’s worth of services for miss Emmah, when she has settled, her gifts for
saving the life of the crown prince will be paid."
Her words were loud, she was being deliberate, ensuring that everyone would know and word would spread.
"Everyone else, cin and close the gates." she commanded.
The knights did not know who the
woman was, her face was new but

The gates were closed firmly and the knights who stood guard outside even revealed their swords and bore their
teeth and passers by. If anybody approached, the consequences would be serious.
In the castle, Sigrid and Mauve were
making their way downstairs, talking
about what had just transpired. Sigrid

"Letguess, that is Mrs. Elsworth."
In an apologetic voice, Mauve replied, "Now you know what | was talking about, we have been here for less than
an hour and she has already whipped your servants into shape." She sighed.
"How did she do it?" Sigrid asked out of genuine curiosity.
Mauve shrugged, "I think she is a witch, nobody can say no to her, ever."
"I must admit that I like the way she handled things so efficiently, | can see why your mother recommended her.
With her at the helm, | will not have to worry about my maids learning royal etiquette."
Mauve sighed again, she wondered how Sigrid would react when Mrs. Elsworth’s disapproving eye was turned on
her. It had the amazing power to make one squirm like a worm under intense heat.
"What do you think miss Emmah will do when she opens her eyes and realizes that she has lost her residency
