Chapter 78: The apology out of nowhere.
When she returned to the Vale, Sigrid took a bath and settled down in the living room, preparing to watch the latest episodes of Lady Blanche like everyone else.
In order to create the perfect environment, Lama closed the thick drapes, Lanai turned the mystic viewing TV crystal on while Sigrid laid down on the sofa and reached her hand out to pick up a slice of gooseberry from a very beautiful mahogany coffee table that was sitting on the softest rug which covered the floor of the entire room.
Just as the berry reached Sigrid’s mouth and highlights from the previous episode started to play, a voice interrupted her.
"The king and queen are expecting us for dinner." Roland’s voice boomed through the room.
It was filled with energy, just as he was when he strode in elegantly and sat down in the chair opposite hers. He seemed to dislike the big distance between them, so he moved over to where she was.
Sigrid moved her legs to make room for him to seat down.
"Do you mind if I have one of those?" he pointed to the fruit platter.
"Help yourself." she answered, he had asked politely after all.
He reached for the apple slices first, picking five slices at once and gobbling them up quickly, nodding his head with a look of satisfaction on his face. Most of the fruits at the vale were acquired from the mage farms, the volume was small but the taste was scrumptious.
