Chapter 140: Roland’s shadow.
"You are up to no good." Galen commented as Lanai walked away.
"You would know that, wouldn’t you?" Sigrid replied smoothly. She flashed Galen a curious smile and slowly asked. "Whose idea was it to come to the Vale and play by the lake?"
Galen pointed at Benjamin, but when she saw the doubt in Sigrid’s eyes he gave up on the lie.
’What can I say?" He shrugged. "I like starting trouble and its fun watching my dear third brother stumble. I won’t lie, I am enjoying watching him be humbled little by little, his reputation going down a trench and finally learning how it feels to be the rest of us, ignored by our father. Roland may not have grudges about how we were raised but I do."
"So you brought them here to irritate me because you figured that I would do something else to make waves." She surmised.
Again, he shrugged, looking very unapologetic. "Every time you encounter Emmah Windrider, something happens. It always ends in tears or blood for her and Benjamin rushes over to comfort her."
His eyes glittered with sly amusement, they were sharp devoid of the pretentious carefree disposition that he always displayed.
"So, you are using me." Sigrid chuckled dangerously.
Galen nodded, "Welcome to the royal family, we all use each other but to what end is the question. I am admitting this willingly, I intend to reap from the seeds you sow. I have no desire to be king and I would have my real brother on the throne than the son of a whore who will no doubt wipe us out if he becomes king.
