The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 407: Lady Iryne’s rage.

Lady Dove Wheatley did not expect to be arrested in the end. It was said that the Horse Keepers never failed in

their missions. For so many years, they had managed to get away with causing mayhem, unseen and unheard.

She couldn’t fathom why things had not worked out when it cto her.

As she sat in handcuffs, sweating under the questioning of a constable, she cursed the Horse keepers and Sigrid.

Because of them, she would be spending a lot of tin an Eldorian prison or even be executed, unless her

family intervened.

The door of the small interrogation room was opened. In walked Sigrid and two burly knights. The constable

stood up and offered her the chair he had been sitting in.

Sigrid faced Lady Dove, running her hands over the gold pearl necklace around her neck. It was the sone

Lady Dove had paid to acquire the services of the Horse keepers.

Lady Dove’s hands that were handcuffed to the table trembled. She wanted to reach out and sip the smug smile

on Sigrid’s lips or maybe choke her to death with the necklace. Perhaps she could stuff those pearls down her

throat after she was death.

Sigrid sighed when she saw the hatred in the dark pupils of Dove Wheatley. It seemed like the woman had not

repeated at all.

"Are you here to gloat?" Dove asked.

Sigrid laughed. "Why would | gloat? | was not competing with you and | certainly don’t see you as an enemy. |

could barely remember your nor face after meeting you. | am here to thank you for helpingroot out the

Horse Keepers. Because of you | got my hands on so much dark material that the nobles of Eldoria will be

dancing to my tunes for a very long tto come."

"Get out." Lady Dove growled.

Sigrid shook her head. "No, no...this empire is mine | can go anywhere | want. Unlike you, from now on you will

be stuck in a tiny prison cell for the rest of your life. Your punishment is not death, it is to watchlive a happy

life with the man that you love so much but cannot get."

"I can get him." Lady Dove leaned forward, screaming loudly. "If you were not here, he would be mine."

Sigrid shook her head. "No, no...if | was not here he would...." She paused because he would be dead, if

everything had gone according to the original story line. "he would be with another. An Eldorian woman, not you

the foreigner that he met decades ago and forgot all about."

Lady Dove shook her head. "Impossible, he did not forget about me. When he sawat the ball, he recognized

me. He whiskedaway quickly, holding my hand and...."

"And | recognize my horse, sheep, maids and nearly every shopkeeper in the city." Sigrid jumped in. "That does

not make them special to me, it just means my brain functions as it should." She jutted her finger at Lady Dove.

"You are not special. My husband wanted you to be executed today itself but I talked him out of it. You should not

have chere..."

The doors burst in, kicked in by Lady Iryne and startling those inside. The knights had been so shocked that they

drew their weapons while the constable drew his stick.

Lady Iryne marched inside with a sword and eyes of a war goddess ready to behead her long tenemy. Lord

Thorin followed her, urging her to remain calm. But how could one calm a storm that was determined to bring

down a universe?

Sigrid stepped in front of her mother and shook her head. Reciting the spell she had taught the Lord mage, she

turned the sword on her mother’s hand into a lollipop. "Mother..."

Lady Iryne firmly pushed Sigrid aside and lunged for Dove, landing a few punches on her head, nose and mouth

before being pulled off.

"Wait, | haven't slapped her yet." She shouted and struggled, resisting against her husband's arms.

Lord Thorin pulled her out of the room with the sdetermination she had when she made her way inside.

Sigrid had nothing more to say to Lady Dove so she followed her parents outside. The constable stayed back and

made a call for a doctor to cand treat the wounds Lady Iryne had left on Lady Dove's face.

He also took away the cup of tea which contained the spoison that Sigrid had been meant to drink. All that

was left was to follow the instructions of the Emperor and apply the face cream on Lady Dove's face. He had

been wondering how to achieve that goal. Now that Lady Iryne had injured Lady Dove's face, it would be easy for

the cream to be applied, disguised as medicine.

Meanwhile outside the local police station, Lady Iryne was gulping down scalming tea which was provided

by Mauve. On the right side, Lanai was fanning her manually.

"You need to stop being impulsive sometimes." Lord Thorin told his wife.

She shot him a silencing glare and he winced.

"I leave for one day." Lady Iryne bellowed at him. She raised her hand and the cup fell to the cobble stone,

breaking into three pieces. "I leave for one day to guide my fairy land queen to her happily ever after and return

hto discover that my daughter was poisoned!! What were all of you doing?"

"They could not have known Iryne." Lord Thorin attempted to stand in front of her and block her view of Sigrid’'s

maids and ladies-in-waiting. "You have heard all about the clever trick which the Horse keepers pulled. Even the

mages that work as tea testers did not detect it. How were ordinary non magic individuals supposed to know?"

Lady Iryne shoved him aside and looked at Sigrid. "Chere."

Obediently, Sigrid walked forward and she found herself being embraced by her mother. "My task in the fairy

world is done. | am never leaving again. | cannot believe that | almost you."

Tears rolled out of Lady Iryne’s eyes and sobs tore from her mouth. "I am so angry, | am enraged, | want to rip

that bitch’s head off and shoot her with arrows or burn her to death. | want to stuff that poisonous cream down

her throat and..."

"Would it make you feel better if we go and drag Lady Emmah back tonight?" Sigrid asked her.

All this anger her mother was feeling needed an outlet. What better outlet was there than Emmah Fairfax, the

original enemy?
