Chapter 222: What do you know about Firron?
Sunny’s accident broke the tension int the room and woke up Void. The panther jumped down and chased the dog out of the living room. As soon as Sunny’s lips and Void’s growling disappeared into the corridor, Mrs. Elsworth ordered for the door to be closed.
Meanwhile, Lady Silver was staring at her daughter with raised eyebrows, her expression calm but surprised at the same time. "Did you just threaten to throw me out?" she asked, her voice uncertain.
Mauve nodded. "Yes mother, I did. I love and respect you but not even you can tell the crown princess to shut up. People have lost their heads for smaller things than this. I implore you to understand and sit down." She was polite, but forceful.
Lady Silver’s lips trembled. It was hard to tell if she was biting back a response or trying to smile. But, she sat down and clenched her fists. "I am calm." she forced out of her mouth. "I am sorry for losing my mind crown princess." she stood up again and bowed slightly.
"Sit," Sigrid waved her hand, nonchalant about the whole thing. "I cannot fault you for worrying about your daughter. However, I would like to make it clear that I am not the one that decided she should go to war, the king did."
Lady Silver whimpered.
"Well, not me specifically but the mages." Mauve came in with a clearer explanation. "And not just mage knights but all the mages whose magic is strong. You saw what we need when the mine collapsed mother. The king ordered for a mage battalion to be formed. In times of war we must do our duty for the kingdom."
"That cursed magic." Lady Silver cried out. "What duty? The king is not sending his daughter to war, why is he sending mine? Ever since your awakening, the troubles don’t seem to end. I thought it was a gift your magic. You attracted more suitors, three princes and dozens of titled Lords are vying for your hand in marriage from the day you were seen on television saving lives. In the end, you are choosing the worst of them."
"Is this about Prince Firron again?" Mauve rolled her eyes.
