Chapter 169: The world of live broadcasts.
Two days later, the last pole or tree as Sigrid had called it was planted in the afternoon. Mages waiting in different cities activated the runes and the ley lines. It all seemed so normal, there was no bang which is exactly what Lady Iryne told her daughter.
Lady Iryne was looking at the sky, waiting to see the connection Sigrid had talked about and she saw nothing. "You said I would be able to share my pictures with other people and watch live television. Where is it?"
"Tomorrow mother, be patient." Sigrid said.
Standing to Sigrid’s right, Duchess Mila pinched two of her fingers close together and said, "Your mother’s patience is this thin. She gets it from her own mother Lady Damaris Farnsworth."
Sigrid tilted her head in her mother’s direction with a smile on her face. "Your mother is called Farnsworth! I always forget it somehow."
This Sigrid had not met her mother’s side of the family as they lived in the South, rarely coming to the capital. They usually showed up for debutante season if their was a Farnsworth girl making her debut. They would wait around for a month at most and return to their estate in Dartberry city.
"That is your grandmother young lady and it is her grace Countess Farnsworth." Lady Iryne responded after hitting Sigrid gently on the buttocks once with her hand.
Sigrid giggled in a silly way. "I am not saying that she is not my grandmother, I just find the name Farnsworth amusing. There is a plant called a fern. Look, in my hands I am holding a fan."
Lady Iryne growled playfully and lunged at Sigrid. She took off running and they chased each other on the grassland, laughing loudly. Sunny jumped into the game, running circles around the women.
