Chapter 41: I want to repeat history.
Madame Elene paused, reached a hand out behind on one of the shelves and got a small silver flask. She threw her head back and took two big gulps of the liquor inside before throwing it on the ground.
The look on her face was nothing but pure intense anger as if she wanted to kill someone or something.
"He took a good girl, and ruined her and he never looked back after destroying her life." She laughed, a few hysterical like sounds came from her mouth. "Do you know that there were titled young men that were willing to take her hand in marriage?
The son of the vicar, a young marquess from Brackenworth, two earls that needed secondary wives. She could have had her pick of suitors but she turned them all down because she was only eighteen, she wanted to marry at three and twenty.
Risa could have had a good marriage and lived a good life if only the king had not pursued her, promised her glory and compromised her."
Sigrid took a deep breath, "Wow, I feel for her, she was dealt a really bad hand, king Raff is a man that only looks out for his interests. He is selfish and calculative, even if he loved Risa Ann, he never would have married her as his queen.
He, more than anyone else knows the importance of a queen in ensuring that the power of the throne is not shaken and the legitimacy of his children is not questioned. I am not surprised to hear that he did not come back for her." Sigrid sneered.
Madame Elene nodded, "Anyway, my sister and I made it out of Sheepfield, we started this establishment, I work behind the scenes and do most of the heavy lifting while Francis is the face of the business, she recruits the women.
It was her that discovered Rina and me.....I saw an opportunity to make a lot of money and maybe get justice for Risa."
