The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 160: In love.

King Raff carried the troubles of arranging his third son’s marriage to princess Elarin. When he found her, she

was in the gardens, playing with her maids. They were chasing butterflies with nets laughing like forest nymphs.

He stood still for a while watching, mesmerized and besotted. His eyes could not be drawn away from Elarin, she

was more beautiful than any woman he had ever met. Her spirit was free, she was without scheming.

In the deep palace where everyone was plotting, all she wanted was his love. Everyday, she reminded him, that

he was all she had left in the world and begged him to love her smore, more than he loved others.

So, he spoiled her. More than he had ever spoiled any other woman in the world. Not Risa, not the queen and not

Rina, none of them had ever been pampered like Elarin. Amazingly, she did not abuse her power, she did not

provoke the queen. She just did things that would make him happy.

She did not rely on her bedroom skills like Rina had done. She did other things like cooking his breakfast, giving

him a bath, preparing his clothes everyday. She always checked his boots for holes and other scuff marks.

If his shirt lost a button, she personally sewed it back on. She advised him on simple matters, calmed him when

he was on the edge of exploding and encouraged him to be closer with his children. She had even taken charge

of Rina’s last two children, treating them as her own.

The little prince Amello was now a carbon copy of Elarin when it cto dressing, he was like a prince of the

forest. King Raff had never felt so at peace despite all the stress that he could not avoid as the king.

She was his solace, the moon on a dark night; he was in love and there was no turning back.

"Might I join you ladies." his voice boomed loudly, breaking into the soft laughter of the women.

The maids stepped away to crated room for him and Elarin, his beloved, she threw herself right into his arms and

boldly kissed his cheek. King Raff, blushed, his cheeks blossomed ruddy red.

"My king, have you cto chase the butterflies with me?" Elarin asked.

Her face glowed with happiness that was reflected in her eyes. She was vibrant, filled with energy, beautiful like

a flower that had been enchanted never to lose its beauty. He did not set her down but carried wrapped his arms

tighter around her waist and carried her towards the bench by the little lamp post in that part of the garden.

"| planted thistledance crown orchids in the garden. Do you want to see?" Elarin looked at the king eagerly.

He nodded and set her down, allowing himself to be pulled into a slow jog that was filled with silly laughter until

they arrived at the center of the garden. King Raff was not certain about what flowers were raised in this garden.

Patiently, he waited for Elarin to point out the ones she had planted.

She stopped at a row of delicate, spiny blossoms that were of different colors. It was amazing to see one flower

with several petals of different colors. There was a glow to them, when he looked at them, it was if he could hear

a whisper coming from them, telling to ccloser and have a look.

"So, what do you think?" Elarin stopped him before he could get too close.

"Beautiful." he answered automatically. But he was not looking at the flowers anymore, he was looking at her.

King Raff was certain that if he had to compare beauty, Elarin was more beautiful than the flowers.

"They are magical flowers from my land. | did not think that they could bloom here. They change color when they

sense a change in emotions, no matter how buried it is." Elarin moved into the king's arms, forming a delicate

pout with her small mouth. "The nearest one to you has turned grey, it means you are troubled. What is it that

troubles you?"

King Raff sighed, his nose took a whiff of the floral scent coming from Elarin’s hair. She smelled like a forest on a

warm day.

"It is my third son Benjamin, his marital affairs have stated to troubleonce more. He is like a prize that every

noble family with a daughter is out to grab. | have proposals coming in from different houses. The most

ridiculous is Baron Florian Suncrest. He sent a portrait of his ten year old daughter!"

Elarin gasped. "Has he lost his mind."

The King was still flabbergasted and disgusted. "I think he is looking to get rid of the girl and he figured Benjamin

would raise her for him for free. He forgets that my son needs a wife, not a daughter."

"The Thorin’s sponsor an orphanage, if he wants to get rid of the girl that is the best place to send her. Maybe

you should look into her conditions, if she is being maltreated, take her from Suncrest and protect her. You are

the king, it will boost your already impressive image even more if you are seen as the rescuer of widows,

orphans and the mistreated." Elarin suggested calmly.

King Raff's eyes changed for a moment and the closest flower to them turned red, depicting another change in

the mood.

Elarin tapped the king's chest. "It's okay, someday | am sure that you will get the right opportunity to take back

ownership of those mines. It is not right that one family owns all that wealth.

But on the subject of prince Benjamin's marriage | think that | can help you. | have met many wives of the lords

"Rosewood." King Raff jumped in. "Mmmm, my life was once saved by a Rosewood. They are loyal to the royal

family and don’t interfere much in politics. | think a Rosewood, could work. The crown princess has a Rosewood

beside her, right?"

"Her lady-in-waiting, Lady Mauve Rosewood." Elarin said the nslowly.
