The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress-Chapter 294: Magic golf.

"Is there anything else?" Sigrid asked.

Madame Elene’s voice which was filled with regret reached Sigrid’s ears. "I am sorry my lady, there is nothing more than that. It is why I did not bring the news to you sooner. Whoever this noble lord is, he is extremely careful."

"Okay, I will send Alistair to see who the mysterious lord is. Tell the others to keep a distance, they should not arouse his suspicions. They can provide a physical description of the man but they should not attempt to take any pictures in case they are noticed." Sigrid was going to hung up then something flashed in her mind. "Has anyone come asking about Rina or Elarin?"

She heard some hesitation which lasted only a few seconds. "It is the other reason as to why I am calling. Someone did come by with a painting of a young looking Rina and Elarin. It was a knight but he was dressed as a commoner.

He pretended to be interested in her, paid for all the services she offers and bought ten hours of her time. He plied her with wine and questioned her. She gave up Rina but she did not recognize Elarin."

"It will happen more than once, be on alert." Sigrid warned her.

"Noted, your highness."

"Send your new born granddaughter to the mage estate for awakening." Sigrid ended the call immediately.

In six minutes, they reached the mage estate. Sigrid and Mauve readied themselves to wrangle the students while Christie’s nerves danced with excitement for her magic was supposed to be awakened. She had been religiously drinking all the potions and taking the pills prescribed by Sigrid.

Lately, she had been feeling meditating more and feeling changes in her body, a force that wanted to burst through. It was the sign that she was ready to become a mage.

"I will go and find the lord mage immediately." She said, as soon as her feet touched the ground.

"That will not be necessary." Sigrid told her, pointing up to the sky where a a field was floating mid air!

"This brings back memories of Thalassa’s wedding." Mauve said.

They could hear noise coming from above, the sound was that of people having a good time. The nearest classroom was empty, there were no kids running around and pranking each other with magic. They did see one or two mages with books in their hands heading to different directions but it was weirdly quiet on the ground.

A small white ball with wings whizzed past them and made a u-turn and flew back to the field.

"What in the magic is going on?" Mauve asked. She unconsciously reached her shoulder for her moth and remembered that it was gone. Mauve turned to Sigrid then. "How are we going to get up there?"

Sigrid pointed at the flying horses. "Horses Mauve, magic horses."

So they flew up and landed near a crowd of mages, adults and children. They were spectators that were watching a game that Sigrid assumed was golf. This golf was different from the one she knew before for the golf course was a moving, winding terrain with moving obstacles, a small hill that had a mouth and golf balls with wings.

"Oh, this is the arcane chaos ball I heard about." Mauve laughed. "Come on," She pulled on Sigrid’s hand. "Coming through, coming through, principal crown princess Sigrid has arrived."

Others moved out of the way and the ladies found themselves at the front with a great view of the golf course.

There were four competitors on the field and they were already in the midst of the competition. The lord mage was one of the players, as was the queen consort. The other two players were Elowin and Lenora, a fifteen year old female mage whose talents were all directed towards cooking. She was slowly becoming popular in the mage academy every day that passed.

"Go queen consort, woohoo!" Mauve cheered.

It was the queen consort’s turn. For a woman that had complained about exhaustion and her old age, she was filled with energy as if she had received a new lease on life because she was walking straight without support.

She stepped towards the ball which was supposed to shoot over a pond of water that had tiny fish with gigantic teeth. freewebnoveℓ.com

"This is not how golf is played." Sigrid muttered. Of what use were piranha’s on a golf course?

Someone started beating drums and those that were on the queen consort’s team sung their encouragement. She put all her energy into the swing and sent the ball flying through the air. As it zipped over the pond, a piranha leaped up and attempted to swallow it. The ball turned into a tiny dragon and flew away, reaching the target.

Elowin went next. Even though Sigrid did not understand the rules of magic golf, she cheered him on. "That’s my brother, go Elowin....."

Elowin herd her and he looked her way, saluted and then channeled all of his energy into the ball, sending it flying past the pond. It fell on a vine that kicked it and then it started bouncing on other vines until it came to a stop atop a marigold flower.

Then came the lord mage. He channeled power into his club and swung. His ball disappeared in a puff of smoke and reappeared in the final hole.

A whistle was blown and an image of the lord mage appeared in the sky. The winning ball flew up to the hologram and exploded into fire works. The lord mage put the club across his shoulders and he started to dance to the victory music which was being played by five monkeys.

"No, no, no...." The queen consort bellowed so deeply that the golf course shook. "This is not how the game is playing. He is cheating."

"I agree," Lenora seconded.

"Me three." Elowin raised his hand.

"Who has not cheated in the game?" The lord mage defended himself. "Queen consort you keep turning your balls into dragon balls. Elowin, you are using the vines and flowers to push balls into the holes and Lenora, I saw you multiply one ball into ten and used an illusion to score a hole-in-one."

"I would not need dragon balls if your enchanted fish did not keep trying to eat my balls." The queen consort argued.

The argument became heated as all four cheaters found excuses for their cheating. Meanwhile, Finn and other naughty brats were rigging more golf balls to blow up into fireworks.

The idea of magic golf gave Sigrid the idea to introduce other earthly games with a touch of magic. With floating fields, it an entirely possible to build auditoriums and coliseums. Ordinary humans could pay money to watch the games and the mage estate would develop more. Of course she would get a cut and her pockets would grow larger.

She was thinking of this when she felt a pair of eyes searing into the back of her neck. When she turned around, there was no one.
