The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress-Chapter 311: Rudbeck, marriage master.

"So what was in the letters that you burned?" Roland suddenly raised a question.

It took her back a little as she did not expect him to be aware of the letters so soon. The dead red knights were probably the reason as to why he knew of it.

"How long have you known?" She asked him.

Roland laughed beneath his breath. He run his hands through his hair and sighed. "We seem to be asking each other that question a lot recently. Isn’t it a little ridiculous that we are conspiring together to bring down a mutual enemy and yet there are still secrets that we cannot share with each other?"

"Well, at least one is off the list." She mumbled. "Sometimes secrets are inevitable, we should just work harder to be more open from now on."

Outside the window, Cosmos snorted. If she wanted to be fully honest, the secret organization, brothels she owned and system were other secrets she had to reveal.

Inside the classroom, Roland was thinking back on when he first became aware of the the letters. "When red knights die, I am notified immediately because everyone everyone is worried about enemy empires making secret moves. I also received a note which told me that you were receiving secret letters."

"I guess that was also Lord Benwick’s work." Sigrid scoffed. "As soon as I showed that old goat that I would not be accepting his disgusting hand, he decided to pull me down. Anyway, I plan to end him tonight before he can fulfill his ugly plans. I am simply giving you a heads up so that you can be prepared when the news reaches you."

"He will be ready for you." Roland told her.

When he looked at her, he saw determination. Nothing he said would change her mind so he decided not to talk her out of it. At least she was sharing her plan with him. "He could even be aware of your plan right now. Maybe he has even made some magical preparations to defend himself. Benwick is not a man to be underestimated. If you can hold off for a week, I can put together a plan and assist you."

Sigrid shook her head. "I am aiming for a surprise attack. A well planned attack is more likely to reach his ears as compared to what I have in mind."

She looked at her watch and realized that she was going to be late.

"Are you leaving now?" He asked her.

She nodded. "You are not coming with me. I have already arranged someone with my face to stay around and occasionally wave. If you want to help me, you can occasionally smile at fake me and wave or go out and serve some soup to the elderly. It should not be suspected that the royal family was in any way involved in his death."

Roland was not very confident in her happy go lucky plan. Who was this fake Sigrid? He wanted to ask questions but it was too late, the door was opened and she left.

He rushed to follow her out, bumping into Prince Galen that was entering the classroom. He shoved Roland inside, smiling naughtily. "You cannot follow Sigrid."

"She is my wife, I can follow her if I wish." He said.

Roland tried to get around Galen but his brother stepped in his way again. "Brother, you have already caused enough trouble with your mistakes. Trouble that visited me because Mauve is no longer welcoming my affections. Until you are forgiven, I am in the dog house."

"Dog house." Roland frowned.

Prince Galen shrugged. "That is what my Mauve said to me. Apparently it means that I have upset my darling woman so I have been banished until you make your way back into Sigrid’s good graces." He sighed sadly. "The fact that the success of my relationship depends on you acting like a grown man and not a possessive man child with a toy does not inspire much confidence in me."

Roland picked Galen up with one arm, combining his magic and strength. "Possessive man child!!"

Galen was unrepentant. "Yes, brother, man child. A grown man in a big body that is treating his marriage like a game. The next time you need marriage advise, consult me and me alone."

Roland scoffed, he lacked faith in Galen too. "Mauve will be your third wife if you marry her. Before asking for your advice, I will ask ex wife number one and number two about what was lacking in the marriage that they desired."

Galen snorted. "My divorces were mutually consented to and the cause was..." Roland tossed him aside as he was still defending himself.

The crown prince took long strides, once again trying to leave the classroom and again, he was blocked. This time, it was by Sir Samuel, Rudbeck and other white knights. "Your highness, the crown princess has told us to keep you here for ten minutes and she gave us a list of things that you can do after she leaves the mage estate without your disturbance. Since you have been agonizing all afternoon...."

"Pining really." Rudbeck chimed in.

"Crying like a little girl." Lord Evermore snickered. "Why Sigrid why...." He cried out emotionally, looking up.

The knights were all laughing but trying to hide it because Roland appeared to be greatly irritated and with him, it was a sign that there would be gruesome training or someone would receive a beating.

"Anyway," Sir Samuel chuckled, "Anyway....now that you have reached a little bit of peace or a truce at least. It will be best if you are on your best behaviors."

"Like me when I enter that house after a night of drinking at the tavern against my wife’s wishes." Rudbeck said. "I sneak inside like a cat, wash off the stench of alcohol, brush my teeth and hug her to sleep. The next morning, I get up earlier than her and cook breakfast. When she wakes up, she is still mad at me for the drinking but she is happier about my efforts in the kitchen so she spares me the tongue lashing and lovingly pinches my ear."

Roland turned to Galen and said, "Now him, I can take his advice."

Galen sneered lightly. Rudbeck was simply showing off his very happy home life like he did, every time one of them pointed out the troubles that they were having at home.

Rudbeck pushed Roland to sit down. "Sit down, I can give you advice all day and save your marriage. Let me tell you how I courted and married the daughter of the best knife smith in Eldoria. By the way, have I mentioned that she used to wield knives like swords or that when I met her, she was hunting a boar near the Mystwood grove, alone!"

Galen and Lord Evermore rolled their eyes as if they had coordinated it perfectly.frёewebηovel.cѳm
