Chapter 53: The Eclipsion sword.
"Let’s end..." King Raff started, his words were cut short when he noticed Sigrid raising her hand and eagerly gesturing that she wanted to say something.
He really didn’t want to hear her out, she was proving to be a troublemaker and a headache, every time she stepped in his castle, she brought mayhem with her.
His unhappy eyes shot duke Thorin and exasperated gaze before he sighed. "What is it crown princess?"
Sigrid pointed at Emmah, "Why was she in the land of mist?" she asked, a playful smile on her face.
The question was not one of any particular importance and the people impatiently waited for Emmah to respond. The smell of roasted meats was already wafting into the castle through the windows and many were starved, having rushed to the royal castle on empty stomachs.
"Surely her business in the land of mist is of no concern to any of us." Lord Givenchy said.
"No." King Raff responded, surprising everyone. "I would love to hear the answer, why was a magician in the land of mist? I for one do not believe in simple coincidences, answer the question."
His piercing brown eyes landed on Emmah like arrows aiming for her heart. Emmah looked away from the king, her angry gaze passed over Sigrid then she looked down and nervously wrung her fingers.
Her eyes became watery on cue as she looked back at the King. "There is a little girl at the orphanage that is suffering from an unknown illness, I heard that in the land of mist people sometimes find mysterious miracle herbs. I went there to see if I could find such an herb."
