Chapter 84: Peace Treaty?
"Yes, Sylvia, Lord Cedric is to marry Princess Alice Alexander of the North Continent"
"You’re lying"
She scoffs. "Am I?". She chuckled slightly. "I’m married to a fat man who gets drunk and spills all their meetings like beans" she adds in disdain, eyeing Lord James from where he was laughing and drinking, she cringed before facing me back.
"This peace treaty was specially designed by the Emperor, today wasn’t just about announcing Lord Cedric as the heir to the throne", she tilts her head to the side in amusement.
I swallowed hard, I didn’t believe her, she had to be lying, if there was something like this then Cedric would have surely told me without hesitation.
"Still doubt me dearest Sylvia" she smirks while sipping her wine. Of course, I did, she was LYING.
"Do not worry you will find out soon", at her words the trumpets blew like a welcoming sound. "Hmm I think you will find out right now, speak of the devil" she drops her wine, placing her hand on my shoulders and turning me in a direction, I remain still, my body not flinching.
"Watch"
Everyone wondered why the trumpet was blown so suddenly. "People of my Empire" The Emperor began. "Today I have a special announcement"
