Chapter 207: Too bad my queen.
The very same red knight that worked for the queen and had just pointed a sword at Orena’s back vanished thirty minutes later and he found to his way to Roland’s chambers. There, he met with Sigrid and divulged every detail of the conversation between the queen and Orena.
It was no surprise that the queen was once again plotting against Sigrid. The two were now irreconcilable adversaries because they both wanted to control Roland in one way or the other.
Sigrid had been relaxing in a warm bath with fairy dew water when the knight came to report. He was very respectful and stood with his back to her so that her nakedness would meet his eyes.
She rose from the bath and Lanai wrapped a heavy bathrobe around her. Slowly, Sigrid left the bathroom and moved to the bedroom. The red knight followed and he stood close to the door with his head bowed.
"Tell me, what is her plan now?" Sigrid asked.
The red knight, head still lowered said, "she plans to have an aphrodisiac added to the prince’s wine tonight at dinner. It will take around thirty to forty minutes for the aphrodisiac to work.
She will excuse herself from dinner, feigning a headache and then she will summon the crown prince. The queen also got her hands on an incense extracted from a Luminara bloom which fogs up the mind and makes people confused. When the prince sees Miss Orena’s eyes, he will mistake her for you. The incense is already being prepared as we speak."
Sigrid scoffed, the queen was going all out to trap her son. She had even resorted to using such despicable means. "And then?"
The red knight continued, "the incense has been placed in a bedroom next to hers. Miss Orena will be waiting in there for the crown prince and....." He raised his head and his eyes met Sigrid’s. "You can guess what will happen next your highness."
