Chapter 163: Dreaming of ten thousand dogs.
"We are not getting another dog." Sigrid hissed at Roland as they made their way to the basement of the castle
to join the rest of the family for dinner and a movie.
Roland had no idea where the words cfrom, he certainly had not voiced his desire to have another dog that
looked like Sunny around. Sigrid had called it a Samoyed, a breed that was new to Eldoria. Roland didn’t just
want one, he wanted a whole litter of them. If he knew where he had purchased Sunny from, he would have
bought more but she refused to share the nand location of her god vendor.
As for her maids, he could not even question them because they would not be honest with him. In fact, as soon
as he finished questioning them they would run off and tattle tale.
"Who said | want another dog?" He denied, his voice had a raised pitch to it. He caressed Sunny’s fur and sparks
of joy went off in his heart. It would be amazing if he had more to pinch like this.
"We are not getting another dog." Sigrid repeated.
"I heard you the first time." He stopped walking and pulled her aside to stand next to the wall between two silver
and gold knight armor decorations. "My love, | do think that you should reconsider this decision. It is not for me,
it’s for Sunny. The other two dogs we own don’t play with him or look like him. He must be lonely, the least we
can do is get him a wife. In future....."
"You are just looking for a way to raise a litter of furry white puppies. If we get a female dog of Sunny’s breed, he
will have puppies in future. The puppies will have puppies and then we will be that royal couple with ten
thousand dogs."
What she was describing in a slightly irritated voice was taken in the opposite way by her husband who was
smiling. Roland was picturing them laying on the highland, surrounded by those ten thousand white fluff balls.
In his mind, they were older, with grandchildren who would be playing with the dogs.
"What a nice thought." he said.
"Oh my God! you are a dog lunatic." Sigrid groaned. She knew that eventually she was going to give him the
second dog. It was best to be given after the baby was lost. He would be hurting for sure, as would she.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had cto accept what was going to happen and every hour that passed, it hurt a little less.
The servants who passed them kept a distance for they assumed the royal couple was discussing something
serious, a secret that could not fall in the ears of others. If they had known that they were arguing on whether or
not to get a second dog, they would have fallen to the floor in shock.
The argument was left in-concluded and it was forgotten when they entered the htheater and Jennie
screamed in surprise.
"What have you done to yourselves?"
Roland and Sigrid had both been expecting this reaction, the changes in them after that bath were too
noticeable.
"It’s your hair, its too outstanding." Sigrid told Roland. She gestured for Lanai and the others to distribute the
large sized bottles. "Fairy dew water, no need to thank me, just add sto your bath and you will look as good
asus."
"Half as good." Roland pitched in, correcting the narrative. They had used at least three of those bottles he
figured.
"| would ask how you managed to get your hands on so much fairy dew but | won't." Deanne kissed the bottle
that she had been given and hugged it. "Nathaniel, yours is mine too."
"Whatever you want dear."
General Paxton groaned, he had a feeling none of the men in the family would be keeping their fairy dew water.
Before his wife could demand for his share, he handed it over like a good husband.
"Who needs to look good anyway. Not all of us need long hair to qualify as handsome." He shot a challenging
smirk at Roland and then sat down.
Roland folded his arms and smirked back. "You might not need the long hair but those grey hairs on your head
tell another story old man."
The Thorin brothers were amused, and they laughed greatly. They approved of this new Roland, he was a better
fit for their family than the uptight crown prince they knew him to be.
"Old!!!" General Paxton exclaimed. "I am not old. Facein an arena and | will prove that | am still young and
strong."
"I don’t fight old men, Sigrid will not likevery much if | break your break." Roland answered.
The laughter got more intense, as did the general's frown. He pulled up the arms of his shirt as if he was ready to
do battle there and then. He did not believe that he could not handle a brat like Roland.
Sigrid tapped Roland on the shoulder, "You are on your own kid." She stepped away to let him fight his battle.
Everyone else found a seat, waiting to watch what they considered to be friendly sparring. Duchess Mila shook
her head, she found Roland and her son irresponsible. Why spar in the newly renovated room? They would ruin
the furniture.
"Will you two stop it?" Lady Iryne spat. She pulled on her husbands shirt and dragged him to sit down. "I am not
going to miss my series because you want to compare the size of your egos."

"Serve the food before Sigrid makes a scene." Lady Iryne ordered the servants.
"Mother!" Sigrid exclaimed. "You make it sound as if | am a glutton."
"You ate after lady Chloe’s death, | will never forgive you for it." Lady Iryne huffed.
In the midst of the giggles, Sigrid rolled her eyes. There was no appropriate response to her mother’s
childishness.

Lady Iryne gasped loudly.
"He doesn’t mean it." Her husband quickly assured her. "I saw him secretly wiping away a tear when she died."
"There was sand in my eyes, we are next to the sea there is sand and wind everywhere." The duke bellowed out
his defense.
"Tear filled sand." Elowin whispered and everyone cackled.
"Have | mentioned how much I love your family?" Roland whispered to her.
