Chapter 84: The maids rejected Emmah.
This conversation happened to be overheard by Emmah who walked into the kitchen on foot, gone was the wheelchair which she had been using as a crutch to score pity points. It had come to her notice that it was not a strategy that would work, she needed to be more mobile in order to get things.
While she had been in bed feigning illness, Sigrid had bought that buildings she had been hoping to acquire and then Roland refused to come and see her. Her plan had been to cry and beg for him to take the buildings from Sigrid and give them to her.
It was still her plan, she just needed to find Roland.
"What does the crown princess need?" Emmah put her hands behind her back and smiled warmly at the maids.
"Nothing that concerns you." Lanai replied stiffly.
All of Sigrid’s maids were beyond loyal, they halo on Emmah’s head could not affect them.
The smile on Emmah’s face dwindled, anger flashed in her eyes for a second and then it was quickly covered up by another smile.
"You don’t need to be so cold to me Lanai, I am the crown prince’s guest, I am just trying to be helpful because we all live under the same roof." She giggled and flipped her hair back, then she reached out and held Lanai’s arm, "You don’t have to be distant from me, I am not a noble woman, I am an ordinary commoner like you guys.
Even though I have some status because I have magic and saved the life of the crown prince, I will never treat you as if you are beneath me. We are all human, so we are all equal, nobody is greater than the other. I hope that you can consider me to be a friend."
