Chapter 25: A necessary push.
"She amputated assassins, audacious servants and one governess, the king is the one that killed them." Lord Benwick corrected. "Contrary to what people say, I am beginning to think that Sigrid Thorin was the right choice for the position of Roland’s main wife. With her by his side, it will be much more difficult for Rina’s sons to steal the throne."
"She is also wise, she made sure to nip he secondary wife problem in a bud, I guess she doesn’t want to have a Rina problem in her own marriage." Lady Elvira said.
Lord Benwick nodded, in his opinion, Sigrid had played the king like a fiddle to get what she desired. He wanted to have a meeting with her and get inside her head to see what other tricks she had up her sleeve.
If she was wise and useful, she could be pulled into their circle.
"I wonder if she is already telling her grandfather about Rina’s crude actions, the king’s court will be so interesting in the days to come." The queen laughed. "We don’t have to leak the story but if it does get out, we should fan the flames and blow it up. A secondary wife attempting to murder the children of the main wife is a crime punishable by death, maybe I will finally get rid of that whore in this way."
The queen was aware of Rina’s background, the king had tried hard to bury it but information like that had a way of finding its way to the surface.
Someday, she would unveil the rotten background of Rina and pull her down mercilessly.
**************
It was only the second day into her newly married life and already, the crown princess Sigrid was back to her old stomping grounds on the estate of her family and her fan was dancing in the air, ready to see some more blood.
