Chapter 108: To believe or not to believe.
Roland’s ears twitched, he vaguely heard his wife telling someone to invite his knights into the room and carry him out to the carriage. His shook his head slowly and came back to his senses slowly, turning his head and eyes that were occupied with disbelief to Sigrid.
"Don’t move." he said, and cleared his voice. It was rougher than usual.
He reached out and picked up the half full cup of coffee which Sigrid had been drinking, downing the hot drink in one gulp. His tongue was scalded and he opened his mouth wide as he put the cup down.
"Ah, ah, ah, hot..that was hot." he fanned his tongue.
He looked like a panting dog on a hot day that was trying to cool down. General Paxton had his recording crystal out already, any moment that Roland suffered a humiliation was a moment worth capturing to him.
Sigrid sent for cold water, ice cubes and honey, those were the options available for such a minor injury. Roland sat down and cleared his throat again, he rearranged his clothes and changed his expression. A prince had to be elegant at all times, no matter the circumstances.
"Where were we?" he asked.
"At the part where you were jumping around and going ah, ah, ah!!" General Paxton fanned his mouth and laughed softly.
In response to his childish actions, the duke and duchess glared at the general. He rolled his eyes and folded his lips.
