The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 168: A shot gun wedding.

It was the second wedding that the Thorin’s were attending in which the groom had a black eye. The bride

looked as unhappy as Sigrid had looked on the day of her wedding and the groom, he was not exactly smiling.

A shot gun wedding was no way for two people to get married. Even though the Thorin’s wanted the union, this

was not the way they dreamed of it happening. It was the sfor the Givenchy’s who never thought that they

would be giving their daughter out in this way.

Lady Givenchy was crying and Sigrid did not think that they were tears of joy. Abigail's five brothers looked

almost murderous. They was they were looking at John’s neck was very unsettling.

"Let us begin." The priest said after casting a worried glance at the groom. It was not his first tjoining a

couple that had been caught in mischief but it was his first tjoining a groom to a bride that had just beaten

him.

"Did | look like that at our wedding?" Roland whispered to Sigrid.

"I don’t recall beating you up as badly as Abigail has beaten my brother."

Roland leaned his head down and whispered a question into her ears. "Does she like him because if she doesn't,

| can find an excuse to end the wedding and...."

"She likes him." Sigrid butted in with a fact that she had heard from John himself.

"And him, how does he feel about her?" he asked.

"He likes her too." she confirmed. This was also a fact that John had shared with her.

"Then why all the fuss?" Roland raised his voice as he asked the question.

It distracted the priest and had everyone looking at them.

"Apologies." Roland said loudly for all to hear.

Sigrid stood up and looked around, her eyes lingered more on the bride and groom. "Actually no apologies, this is

not right."

Someone...probably lady Iryne gasped exaggeratedly. Sigrid’s words were perceived to be an objection towards

the wedding.

Lord Givenchy was not about to hear accept any excuses and he immediately stepped in to stop Sigrid. "Crown

princess, with all due respect you cannot stop this wedding. | am not afraid to go over your head and take this up

with the king. Your brother dishonored my daughter, he must marry her or surrender his head."

"Everyone should settle down, it is not my intention to stop the wedding I just think that no woman wants to

marry like this." Sigrid spun and turned her eyes to the front, to her brother. "For heavens sake! John is wearing

muddy pants and a torn shirt. Abigail has mud in her hair." She turned to the rest of the group, ‘Sof you

have mud on your boots and dirt on your clothes. There is no plan for a reception, no flowers, no wedding

gown....and Lady Givenchy is going to sob herself into a hospital bed."

Lady Givenchy’s next sob somehow managed to stop but not before everyone turned their eyes to her.

Sigrid put her lips together and smiled, "Now the good news is that this couple loves each other. John loves

Abigail and she loves him. | would like to suggest that we give them two hours to take a bath, dress up properly

and then be wed."

"No, what if he runs away again." Lord Givenchy denied the request strongly.

"| did not run away." John groaned in a tired manner as he had repeated this many times but Lord Givenchy was

acting deaf. "This was an emergency trip, | con a business matter. Whoever is spreading rumors in the

capital is doing so maliciously."

"Just have knights watch over him as he takes a bath." Roland suggested.

"We will watch him." Aiden Givenchy, one of Abigail's brothers volunteered.

Even though John was reluctant, he let it be. For a moment, the wedding was postponed and everyone was given

an opportunity to prepare. Sigrid had a silk white dress, it was not a wedding dress but it was sufficient for the

moment. She gave it to Abigail who was very grateful.

She did not stop at the dress and gave her jewelry, a white fur cloak and anything else that was needed by a

bride for a wedding.

While they were preparing, the servants decorated the chapel as best as they could and the cooks started

working on a feast.

Two and a half hours later, they assembled once again in the chapel for the wedding and this time, it felt right.

Even the priest had a smile on his face as the bride walked down the very short aisle. One thing had not

changed; lady Givenchy’s sobs.

She was crying for a different reason now, but nevertheless, she was crying and within one minute Lady Iryne

joined her. It did not stop her from actively taking pictures and covering every moment of the wedding.

After the wedding, Sigrid suggested a photo shoot for the couple. They took pictures on horseback, choosing a

white stallion.

Lady Iryne designated herself as the official photographer, she was quite skilled at getting the couple to make

pose in what she thought were the best positions. The photography session dragged on for so long, running into

an hour.

Sigrid did not help matters, she suggested the rest of the family also pose with the couple. By the time

photography session was over, it was tfor the meal.

On this day, fries and deep fried chicken, coated in flour and mixed spices made its debut in Eldoria and it was a

successful debut.

After the wedding, Lord Paxton Thorin had to set off to the capital to warn the Shadowmere’s of their impending

doom.

Sigrid, Roland, Lady Iryne and the

To facilitate communication, Sigrid gave him a mind link headband, which she had bought from the bank at one

hundred dollars. It was so cheap that she had bought many of them.

"This will create a link through which we can communicate using our thoughts." she told him.

She distributed the headbands to her mother, grandfather and Roland. The rest of the family would get theirs

later.

Lord Paxton Thorin followed Sigrid’s instructions, put on the headband and activated it. After being sure that it

worked, he gave his wife another long hug and set off.
