The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 156: Do you feel guilty?

Roland wanted to throttle his wife’s maids. He wanted to pick them up by the neck like dolls and throw them out

of the window. They should have held onto Lettice tighter or fallen on the ground first so that Sigrid could have a

soft landing.

They were aware of her pregnancy and failed to share it with him and as a result, Sigrid was behind closed doors

being attended to by two doctors and a mid-wife. He had no idea how much damage his wife and child had

suffered.

"Is this how you protect your Lady?" he growled at them.

All the maids had no response, nothing they said could satiate the crown prince. They knew that that the only

reason why they were still standing was because they were Sigrid’s closest maids and she would displeased if

something happened to them.

General Paxton put a hand on Roland’s shoulder and squeezed once, comforting his son-in-law.

"It will be okay son."

Roland felt the comforting touch but it barely comforted him. The words of his father-in-law held no meaning,

how was it okay after all? Just yesterday he had imagined the children he would have with his wife running

around on the grassland, minutes ago he had just learned that Sigrid was pregnant. And at that stime, his

wife was injured.

He had not got to experience the happiness of being an expectant father, nothing could happen to Sigrid and the

baby.

Roland approached the door to the bedroom, desperate to make his way inside but the duchess and Deanna

denied him entrance.

"| just want to make sure that she is okay."

Duchess Mila sighed, "You are the crown prince, you are not allowed inside the room whether she is bleeding or

having the child. Your highness, | implore you to keep your clam."

Roland clenched his hands and backed away, he joined duke Thorin and sat down on one of the chairs that had

been brought over by the knights. Where Roland appeared anxious, the duke was calmer but somber faced.

As for Lady Iryne, she was already wiping tears from her ears and blaming herself for noticing the pregnancy

sooner. If she had not been so taken up by The rise of Lady Blanche, she would have seen ssigns perhaps.

The doors opened and two doctors stepped out along with the mid wives.

"How is my wife?" Roland rushed to them, asking at the top of his voice.

One of the doctors, an imperial doctor that always traveled with Roland smiled. "The crown princess is okay your

highness, the baby is strong...."

"I am okay, we are okay." Sigrid cut in as she appeared in the open doorway, walking out casually. "Can we go on

a tour of the village now?"

Everyone was very relieved to see her, Roland swept her into a hug before Duchess Mila pulled her away from

him.

"You are pregnant, how could you keep such a big secret?" She raised her hand and lightly slapped Sigrid on the

back. "Have you lost your mind? This is the kind of news that you share with your family, especially your

husband. Do you have any idea how important the child you are carrying is?"

Sigrid nodded, she knew how important the child was, just for a different reason that everyone thought. She had

shed a few tears when all the bargaining and pleading failed to convince the bank to let her have the baby. Once

the tears dried up, she apologized to the unborn baby and made her up to use the pregnancy to her advantage.

She could take down a few enemies by framing them for harming a royal heir.

After so much fussing and advice from her mother and grandmother, they set out for Stormwind village.

Everyone else got to ride a horse, Sigrid had to take the carriage and it was stuffed with cushions to ensure that

no harm cto her or her stomach.

Cosmos rode beside the carriage, and as always he had something to say to Sigrid about her actions and

choices.

"Do you feel the slightest guilt?"

"For what?" she responded, unbothered. She knew what he was asking and pretended that she was unaware.

"Don’t play the fool miss retired villain. You know that you cannot keep the pregnancy and yet you have that

man excited. He is already ordering for a baby crib and other things to be made. Sigrid, he has sent word to the

king, | am certain that you both will be summoned to the castle as soon as you return to the capital." Cosmos

shook his head, picturing the look of devastation that would cover Roland's face when the child was gone.

"I have no choice." she answered sharply. The bank had given her no choice, she was simply making the best of

her situation now. What mother would not want to have a baby that she longed for so much?

Not only would the child have tied her and Roland together, it would have been her first child in both lives.

"You could have chosen to terminate it alone, nobody would have ever known."

The Ye’s on the other hand...they were stupid enough to fall for her plot. With them gone, their mines would be

up for purchase. The authority over magical gem mines could be returned to the mage estate.

"The Ye family."

Sigrid touched her stomach and fought the urge to scream out loud in agony. She clenched her teeth and held

back the tears. If it had been possible, she would have preferred a child to a weapon.

Maybe she could visit the bank in person and plead or trade. Surely, there was something that could be done.
