Chapter 175: White to red petals.
It should have been a great tea party, one that would be talked about for years to cas a tea party worthy of
gods. As live television was new to Eldoria, reporters had been invited, The news should have been reporting on
the glamour of the party and the extraordinary quality of the guests.
The host should have caway from the party, celebrated for her grace and beauty. The day should have
ended with a young noble lord from one of the greatest and wealthiest families asking for her hand in marriage.
As a matter of fact, the day should have ended with no less than five women from the Ye family being engaged.
The tea party should not have ended with white petals of blossom trees being dyed red with the blood of what
should have been the next crown prince. It should not have ended with guests screaming and escaping the
castle as if they were running from a mountain of beasts.
It should not have ended with all the members of the Ye family being arrested by white and red knights. And also
not with the host screaming ’l am innocent’ to all the cameras in sight.
What should have been the best tea party ever, turned into the worst tea party ever. If Lady Blythe Ye had
known that things would end like this, perhaps she should have willingly chosen an ordinary scandal of a couple
caught canoodling under a blossom tree to a scandal of murdering the crown princess and a royal heir.

When Sigrid opened her eyes, three days had passed. The very first ting she saw was a message from her
system, informing her that the termination had been successful.
"Host, you will able to successfully conceive and keep your children as long as you retrieve the lucky halo.
That did not elicit excitement from her, it just made her choke in anger.
"She is awake, the crown princess is awake." Lanai run out of the room, announcing this at the top of her voice.
Many footsteps were heard outside the doors and then they were pushed wide open. Roland was the first to
enter, closely followed by Nathaniel and then Lady Iryne. The rest of the Thorin’s that had been staying at the
Vale for three days followed.
Sigrid felt her body being hoisted up as gently as possible and she found herself leaning against Roland’s sturdy
chest.
"You are awake," he said in a shaky voice. He took a deep breath and rested his head against the back of her

She knew what he meant to say, the sadness in his voice ripped her apart on the inside.
"Siggy." Lady Iryne called out to her in a soft sad voice.
More "Siggy’s" were called as they all found a place around her. Lady Iryne took one of Sigrid’s hands and
duchess Mila took the other. Their expressions were the same, frowns, sorrow filled red eyes, exhaustion, fear
and worry.
"Siggy, Oh Siggy..." Lady Iryne called over and over in a broken voice before breaking into sobs. She had no idea
how to tell her daughter that the baby was gone. The news, she was afraid, would be a big blow to Sigrid.
The air was thick with tension, even after discussing for days how they would break the news to Sigrid, they had
no idea how to begin.
"My baby..." Sigrid whispered, her voice hoarse.
Duchess Mila held a glass to Sigrid’s mouth. "Drink swater first."
Sigrid pushed the glass away and shook her head. "My baby..." she said again. "I saw my baby waving toin a
dream. Mother, my baby is gone..he is gone...." Tears spilled out of her eyes, sobs were ripped from her throat,
coming from the deepest parts of her heart.
Her gut wrenching cries were so loud that they echoed all through the bedroom walls, traveling out of the wind
and reaching all the way to the courtyard.
The king and Elarin had just arrived for their daily visit when they heard the sobs and were informed that Sigrid
was awake.
Elarin was heartbroken for Sigrid, she turned her head and hugged the king. The king felt it was an inappropriate
tto visit so he led her back to the carriage and they returned to the royal castle.
All through the Vale, those that heard the cries paused what they were doing and sighed. The soft hearted ones
cried along with Sigrid. The mood was somber, gone were the sunny smiles and great expectations of little
footprints and a little baby in the castle.
The nursery had been closed off, everything that had been purchased for the child was locked away in there.
Roland did not have the strength or heart to move any of it away.
As Sigrid cried, he embraced her

He had seen her smiling every tshe looked at the tiny baby shoes and cloaks. She had told him how much
she was looking forward to having his child, and they had even suggested snames for the child the night
before the miscarriage.
No! Roland was unwilling to call it a miscarriage, it was a murder. His baby had been murdered.
"We will get justice." he whispered to Sigrid.
His words only made her sob even harder than before. She cried for an hour without pausing, her cries were loud
at certain times and soft at others. They finally turned into whimpers and she calmed down slowly.
A doctor was invited in to check on Sigrid again, he asked her a few questions and conformed that she was in
good condition.

Duchess Mila gestured for everyone to leave which they did, reluctantly.
"Lanai, wash the crown princess." she ordered.
Roland wanted to insist on staying but the duchess shoved him out of the bedroom. She thought it best if Sigrid
got a moment to digest her grief alone and figure out what she would do next. Duchess Mila had a feeling that
the city would be seeing red again.
