The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 166: A spy in the castle.

Sigrid and Lord Thorin were on their feet quickly. Lord Thorin was quicker, he pushed the door open and they

heard footsteps running away. They followed the sound, running after the person that had been eavesdropping

on their secret conversation.

Sigrid saw a glimpse of a shadow slipping past the hedges, quick and fluid. It seemed the spy had sskills in

evasion and was quick on his feet. Without hesitation she picked up her skirts and gave chase.

With one hand, she shot a flare in the sky which produced a bright light that could be seen from near and far.

Thrill danced in her body, she had not participated in a chase in a long time.

It took her back to her days as a cleaner for all the messes of the rich and wealthy clients they had. She had

climbed walls, fought dogs, run from the police, run from thugs...in fact as far as she could recall she was always

running.

If this spy thought he was getting away from her, he was deluding himself. She was no ordinary crown princess,

her pass times where not arranging flowers and learning embroidery. It was swordplay and close combat battles.

All her training on this world was finally being put to good use.

She could hear other footsteps and shouts of the knights, horse hooves were pounding on the ground at a fast

pace. Many had cout to capture the intruder, she was determined to be the one.

The figure ahead vaulted over a bench and leaped over a hedge and Sigrid followed, making almost no sound as

she landed on the other side. Her feet did not stop, they just kept going ahead towards the stables.

The scent of horse shit and fresh grass welcomed her as she caught a clear glimpse of the spy, He had made a

mistake of running into a heavily illuminated place. Roland treasured his horses, the lighting in the stables was

better than that of the castle.

"Stop!" she commanded.

The man turned around, revealing his young face which made her pause for a moment. He could not have been

more than seventeen, she guessed. While she was thinking of his age, he pulled a silver blade from his cloak.

His blue eyes stared at her with defiance as he hissed, "Stay back."

Sigrid laughed at him, "I am afraid that you spied on the wrong princess."

She raised her hands and along with her rose two bales of hay that she hurled at him. While he fought them off,

she had already gathered up a rope, spinning it expertly with magic before releasing it. While he was rubbing

hay from his eyes, the lasso caught his arms and she pulled it upwards, yanking him off balance.

As she was controlling the rope, binding his hands, the knights arrived. Cosmos was the first through the door,

and he quickly pinned the young man down, kneeling on his back.

"Are you hurt?" he shouted to Sigrid.

"Of course not." Sigrid replied smugly, clapping her fingers as though she was dusting off dirt. "This ended

quicker than | had hoped."

She was yanked backwards and spun around.

"Are you hurt?" Roland asked, anxiously. His voice littered with worry as he looked her over.

"No, it was just a chase, | have been in far worse situations. Have you forgotten that | grew up on the Eastern

boarder?"

"You were not my wife then and you were not expecting our child." Roland bellowed. "What were you thinking?

This damn estate has over one hundred knights. You did not need to run after the intruder. Have you lost your

mind you crazy woman?"

Sigrid suddenly found herself being embraced after all he shouted at her. Roland's heart, she noticed was

beating incredibly fast, whether it was due to the chase or fear for her safety, she could not begin to guess.

"Never do this again," Roland told her.

He was pushed aside and Sigrid was snatched away by her father. He looked her over and when he was satisfied

that she was okay, he hugged her. "What he said." he gestured his head towards Roland.

"Clear out and somebody givean explanation as to why we have an intruder on the grounds. If | don’t get an

explanation, heads are going to roll." Roland threatened.

The knights were quick to evacuate the barn, leaving behind the couple, Lord Thorin, Cosmos, Brolin and Sir

Samuel.

Roland requested Cosmos to step aside so that he could question their captive. He yanked the young man up

and put him on his knees.

"Who sent you?" he demanded, his voice was low and dangerous.

The young man pressed his lips into a thin line, looked at Roland defiantly and them muttered, "You'll never get

it out of me."

Roland laughed coarsely, there was danger in that laugh as well. "You will regret not using this opportunity to

talk."

He had tortured many spies that Medoris had sent, this one would be no different. Before morning came, he

would break and sing like a bird.

Roland could be trusted but there were two hundred plus other people on the grounds of the castle. What if this

spy was not working alone? What if he got an opportunity to pass on a message?

Thankfully he did, and when that happened, he frowned. "In that case, | will question in on my own and when |

am finished | will do the necessary." he said.

"I will stay." Lord Paxton volunteered. "I have experience in breaking down enemy soldiers. This one’s first crime

is making my pregnant daughter chase him in the dark."

Roland escorted Sigrid out of the stable, kissed her on the forehead and said gently, "Go to bed, | will take care

of everything."
