Chapter 292: The third letter.
[My dearest Sigrid,
My hand trembles as | write this letter and my tears are the ink with which | write. I cannot help but feel
concerned about this plight that you have been forced to endure, trapped in a life not of your choosing. | have
heard that beastly crown prince has tired of you and seeks new interests elsewhere.
As the man that loved you in silence, | refuse to let him steal your happiness. | refuse to let him turn you into the
object of mockery. He will not do to you what his father did to his mother--turn you into a bitter cold woman
whose smile is lost in the abyss if the greedy royal family of Eldoria.
Whispers about your predicament are carried by the wind beyond the walls of the lustrous royal castle. They say
your heart beats in quiet sorrow, imprisoned by a cruel unkind fate. It is said the more duties have been thrust
upon you than your graceful shoulders can handle. But hearnow, beloved: | will not stand idle.
The heavens above have witnessed my vow-I shall cross the beast mountains, cross the ocean that mocks my
longing, ride through the Mystic grove and climb the walls that keep us apart. No force and no crown in the
universe shall keep you away from me. My purpose--my sole sworn duty is to liberate you.
Do not despair, beloved, for | will soon be with you and we will be together once more. In the moments when you
missmeanwhile, look beyond the dark cloud of despair and into the winkling glow of the starry sky for there,
you shall see my face.
Forever your devoted knight, Sir Jenson Kershaw]
Sigrid was about to set the letter on fire when she had a thought. She slid open the curtain on the widow and
opened it entirely.
"Brolin, how can a letter from Anquiri reach Eldoria so quickly?"
The knight looked down from his horse, eyes narrowed as he pondered on the question. "The journey itself would
be two months at least by ship. On horseback, probably longer, three months maybe. This is if the letter is being
delivered by a human. If it is being delivered by a flying horse or any other magic creature that can fly, it would
be two weeks at least."

Brolin laughed for a second, "That they are not coming from Anquiri at all. In fact the sender could be in the
capital with us."
"What do you intend to do about it?" She asked.
Brolin pulled on the reigns of his horse. "The two knights that died left their horses behind. Their horses have
shoes and every horse shoe is marked by the smith that makes it. Knights use even more specific shoes which
are different from those of common horses. If | find out who made the shoes, | will be able to know which estate
the horses belong to and then we can know where the letters are coming from." He turned his horse around
immediately, heading back to the royal palace.
"Mauve can | borrow your moth?" Sigrid closed the curtain.
Without asking as question, Mauve handed the moth to Sigrid.
Sigrid made the moth sniff the letter and pick up any scent left on it. By smelling the essence of any magical
herb or flower that the dead knight had passed, the moth would be able to follow the scent and track the path
that he had used back to where he had cfrom. She had no idea how far the moth would get but she had to
try.
She touched the wings of the moth with her wand and whispered, "Seekurune."
The moth flew out of the carriage and went out to seek as it had been instructed.
"Mauve, track your familiar with your mind and find out where it goes up to when it returns." She ordered.
Mauve nodded.
Sigrid looked at the letter, pondering what other method she could use to find the letter writer.
"System, are you sure this Jenson is not in Eldoria?"
[Affirmed.] Words appeared on the virtual screen.
"Then, who is writing the letters?"
"Host, this is a side plot that is not related to your task or Emmah. The system cannot assist you with it unless
Emmah gets involved."
The system gave her the sanswer that it gave her when the second letter had arrived. If she wanted the
system to provide the answer, she had to find a way for Emmah to get her hands on the letter and that was a no
go for Sigrid.
She would not be the fool that handed over a gun and bullets to her enemy to take her down.
"Host, learn to be independent. When this task is accomplished, the system will be taken back by the bank. What
will you do withoutand Cosmos? Since you chose to fight for the position of empress, learn to walk the
chosen path and becstronger on your own."
She did not expect to hear advice like
that from the system. But, she did
expect the system ig goytakeR back
afte heNision was completed.
Access to the bank would remain
though, which was compensation at
least. The content is on

Sigrid sighed tiredly.
Mauve slapped the table and leaned

"Like the fact that you have kissing more and more lately and..." Christie started and quickly stopped because
Mauve looked like she was ready to rip her head off.
Sigrid sighed again. "I was wondering how long it would take you to ask about this."
Christie handed Sigrid ten gold coins.

Sigrid tossed the small pouch of her winnings in the air and she smiled. "This might be the easiest money that |
have ever made."
Mauve snorted and she snatched the letter. "I am going to read this." She threatened.
Sigrid shrugged. If the system was not going to help then she might as well share the problem with those who
would.
