Chapter 221 - 3 princes for Mauve.
"Oh...Of course I want to see my daughter thrive in her marriage." Lady Silver responded rapidly.
It almost seemed as though she did not want Sigrid to think of her as a bad mother.
"Good, then you must consider her own desires before yours. Her marriage will be hers, not yours, you already have your own marriage. You can share your opinion on who courts her but you cannot force your choice on her. I am already aware that there are three princes courting Mauve currently." Sigrid took the empty bottle away from Void’s mouth. The panther was already sleeping, its little stomach was as round as the sun.
"Didn’t your parents choose your husband?" Lady Silver twisted a handkerchief in her hands as she waited for an answer.
Sigrid shook her head. "My parents did not choose Roland, the king did. He practically commanded my grandfather to set the marriage, my parents were not given a choice.
You have no idea how terrified I was to be marrying the crown prince. Who in Eldoria did not know how much he disdained me? Who was not aware that the king was simply ordering us to marry in order to control my family because he saw us as a threat?"
"And yet it worked out." Lady Silver shrugged. "No matter who Mauve marries, it will work out in the end."
Sigrid’s memory drew back to her wedding day, she had punched her husband before the ceremony and on their wedding night, they got into a fight. Then he went to war and returned with Emmah. If she had not been calculative every step of the way, she would still be Roland’s undesired wife. A mockery that all of Eldoria laughed at.
When people saw Roland doting on her now, they had no idea how far they had come and how much scheming she had done to win his heart.
