The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress-Chapter 22: They asked for blood.

The secondary consort’s governess scoffed, she was backed by the king’s favorite wife, who was this unloved crown princess to act all high and mighty? No matter how powerful the Thorin family was, Sigrid was now the wife of the crown prince, a member of the royal house.

She had to learn the rules and know when to bow her head. It would have been different if Roland had wed her sincerely but everyone knew he had been forced. No matter what was done to her, her husband would not step up for her.

As for the queen, as long as Sigrid was useless to Roland, she would not come out to defend her.

"It seems, you have not been taught the rules of the royal family, I find you quite rude so I will begin your lessons today. If there is no blood on those sheets, you will have to pay the price for failing to do your duty in contributing to the royal lineage. Don’t you know that is is considered a crime?"

Once again, Sigrid asked, "Are you sure that you want to see blood?"

The governess responded dominantly, "Hmph, if I do not see blood today...."

"Very well." Sigrid cut in.

She took a step back, putting a small distance between herself and the governess, then she unfolded the fan and threw her hand out.

A swishing sound cut through the air, one that was familiar to that of a sword, then, warm blood splashed onto the faces of some servants.

For a few moments, there was utter silence in the room, everyone went still, especially the servants that were examining the sheets, and then one of them opened her mouth and screamed.

One horrified scream turned into two and two turned into three, two servants run out of the room while two of the consorts red knights rushed inside with swords drawn.

They were met with the sight of the consort’s governess wailing in pain, her right arm was on the ground and where it had once been, blood was spurting out. She was trying to stop the bleeding with one hand but it was not working.

Sigrid was standing still, a few drops of blood had fallen onto her face, a few wisps of her hair were floating in the air, she had a creepy smile on her face.

"Who has done this?" One of the red knights asked.

"Me." Sigrid answered confidently, moving her fan from left to right slowly, fanning herself as if it was hot in the room which it was not. "She wanted to see blood, I asked her this question twice and her answer was the same. So.." she smiled like a wolf. "I gave her what she wanted."

She turned her heal and looked at Lanai, "Bring a white sheet and wipe all the blood on the ground, you can send it to the secondary consort when you are finished, I am certain that she will happy with what she asked for.

If the blood is not enough, she has one more arm, two legs, a heart and more, any of them can work. I think an entire sheet of blood is better than a few measly drops."

The governess’s head fell back and she fell to the ground, completely unconscious.

The red knights approached her, one moving to her head and another her feet, they planned to carry her out it seemed.

"Did I say that you could leave?" Sigrid questioned.

The two knights turned to her, the one that was standing next to the governess’s feet answered, "You have no right to command us."

"I am the crown princess, some unruly servants broke into my private bedroom and dragged me out of my bed half dressed. I am not sure what their intentions were but to my thinking it was their intention to embarrass me.

As you can see, I am not in a very decent state of dressing, the two of you have committed a crime by looking at me. I wonder what the king will say when he finds out that two men were inside my private chambers when I was half-naked.

Perhaps your intention was to molest me, the crown princess."

The two red knights fell to their knees immediately.

"Crown princess, please don’t confuse right for wrong, we simply rushed in here because of the screams, we were worried that an assailant had made their way into your private chambers.."

"Oh." she jumped in. "An assailant, one whose arrival coincided with yours, what a coincidence. Now that you mention it, I think two assailant’s dressed in the uniform of red knights broke into my bedroom. They must have been come for the crown prince, how brave of them to try to murder a member of the royal family."

"Your highness..." they called out..

"Cosmos." Sigrid called out loudly in a stern voice.

As he was her personal bodyguard, he was outside and he had deliberately allowed the unruly servants come in. The plot had to develop in order for the bank to get what it desired.

He had been watching idly just to see how miss RV planned to handle the situation, no surprise at all, she had chosen to handle things this way. She would not be Sigrid if she handed over the bed sheets easily.

"What?" he replied.

"My life has been endangered, two assassins disguised as red knights broke into my bedroom and tried to murder the crown prince and I. Take them out for questioning, they will not be released until they reveal who sent them."

"Can I use whatever means to get the information out of them?" he asked.

"Be efficient and widen the scope of your questioning, they should reveal as much as information as possible on their master."

Cosmos did not move, he waved a hand and Sigrid’s other knights rushed into the bedroom, taking the red knights away at sword point.

They did not put up a fight, they knew the secondary consort or the queen would send someone for them. Red knights were very valuable to the kingdom, some of the most highly trained soldiers of Eldoria.

When Sigrid turned around, she saw the rest of the servants that had disturbed her morning sleep. The ones that had run out had also been brought back by Cosmos and they were all trembling.

She did not feel one bit of mercy for them, in Eldoria the strong thrived but the weak were eaten, especially in the royal family.

"Lanai, get a whip and hand one out to each of my people that was hit. I think it’s time to spread the saying that before you touch a dog, you should know who it’s master is and I for one happen to value all of my loyal dogs."
