Chapter 252: Giggle and fart.
Turning around once, Sigrid found herself face to face with her husband and a group of his advisors. Not just them but noble lords too that had just overheard a very misleading statement.
"Your highness." she curtsied.
Roland touched her chin, his eyebrows were raised curiously and he was smiling mischievously. "My love." he responded.
She started an eye roll but stopped it mid way because there were eyes on them. She was the dignified crown princess.
"Lords." she acknowledged the nobles.
The Lord mage was rather impatient, he had no time to analyze Sigrid and Roland’s body language. Whether they were flirting or not was none of his business at the moment. "What brings you all here?"
The Lord mage liked to think of the mage estate like his personal royal castle. Just as the king did not want anyone venturing in and out as they pleased, he felt the same way.
The presence of the noble lords that served in the king’s court visited was not a pleasant sight. Every time their kind visited, they touched things they should not touch. Some insisted on taking the harvest of the farms at no cost. Others saw servant girls they desired to possess. In one word, the Lord mage could classify these visits as a nuisance.
Roland answered the question on behalf of those that the Lord mage was eyeing with displeasure. "I shared with the noble lords the news that the assassins responsible for the current condition of our king had been arrested. They insisted on coming over to take a look at these criminals. There is a debate ongoing about their fate."
For an unknown reason, the noble lords decided to share their opinions with Sigrid and the lord mage.
"They should be paraded through the city and then beheaded. It should be covered live for all to see that Eldoria is ruthless in dealing with her enemies."
