Chapter 35: The king needs a new whore.
There was no such as loyalty in the royal family, except to themselves and even then it could vanish at the snap
of a finger, this everyone knew. And yet, it still surprised them to see the king, for the first tever making a
moved against his precious consort in public.
It was all to save his own face, of course but still, it was unexpected and deeply satisfying to watch. The feeling
did not last long.
"| fear that | have cdown with a headache, | need to retire and take care of it." king Raff said and he turned
to the queen. "I believe that you can handle the rest of this court gathering without me, like the crown princess
said, it is a matter that concerns women."
He stood up and walked out of the hall, the last words that were heard from the king as the doors closed was the
order for a royal doctor to be sent to him in the chambers of the secondary consort.
It was why the satisfying feeling that the lords and queen were enjoying did not last long, obviously the king had
gone off to search for his consort, to grovel and pamper her.
It set off a new wave of whispers, snickers and a plethora of looks were sent the queen’s way, as if they were all
waiting for her to breakdown.
The queen clenched her jaw and attempted to look as natural and unbothered as she could.
"Let’s continue." she ordered curtly.
Lord Bailey laughed awkwardly, "Err, | had only one law in mind but we can use this opportunity to overhaul the
old laws and make new ones. Uhm, perhaps the crown princess would like to share more of her ideas."
Sigrid waved a guard over and whispered to him that he should find Lanai and bring her materials over. While
that was being done, she calmly joined lord Bailey and took the floor.

Five hours later, the court gathering was ended, a group of exhausted lords and nobles escaped the royal castle
quickly as if they could not leave fast enough. They were dreading Sigrid calling them back because she had
suddenly recalled another great new change they needed to discuss.
"She had so many papers prepared." Lord Eastwood groaned as he and Lord Chambers arrived at their carriages
that were parked close.
Lord Chambers stretched his arms and her groaned as well. "Is it justor did it look to anyone else like she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas really thoroughly prepared? | could have sworn that she was the brains behind Bailey's new law which led to
all of this."
Lord Quinton overheard them and he sidled over to join in the conversation.
"Eh, did you see the look on the king's face when she talked about the consort riding him like a horse?"
They all looked at the horses that were responsible for pulling their carriages and they laughed softly, the walls
in the royal castle had ears after all and they did not want the king to overhear that they laughed at him.
"The crown princess has a powerful mouth, she survived a whipping and a beheading and made the consort
suffer a public humiliation. | must say that the king's court has not been as interesting as this in a while." Lord
Chambers said.
The three lords got in their carriages and set off, planning to meet at lord Quinton’s hto further discuss the
events they had witnessed at court. They were not the only ones planning to gather, others had similar plans.
Sigrid was yet to leave the royal castle, she had been held back by the queen who wished to have a brief word. It
was the second tshe was having an interaction with the queen and she was the sas ever.
Maurelia De Kensington was a cold queen whose demeanor was mostly always composed and imperious, she
carried herself with untouchable grace. To the public, she was aloof and detached, seven said she held
contempt for commoners.
However, she had not always been that way, it was the coldness and of the king and his unwillingness to see her
as anything other than a political trophy that had turned her into who she was.
"You wanted to seeyour highness." Sigrid curtsied as the queen approached her.
Sigrid was standing next to her carriage, the knights and servants had stepped away to give them a moment of
privacy.
Queen Maurelia’s frosty eyes roved over Sigrid briefly. "Did you have knowledge before hand about Lord Bailey's
new law?"
Sigrid shook her head. "I will have to disappoint you my queen but | had no idea."
Queen Maurelia doubted Sigrid’s words. "You had papers prepared, even a copy of the Eldorian book of laws
which is more complete than the one in the royal library. It looks new and the ink is different, when and where
did you acquire it?"
The old Eldorian book of laws was no longer in circulation, it was a centuries old law book that had disappeared
and the laws were forgotten. The only available copy was owned by the royal family and it had many missing
pages.
The one Sigrid owned had been given to her by the system and the text was printed like a modern textbook from
earth.

These rumors have been treated as rubbish over the years because Roland and Benjamin have a close

Boldly, Sigrid approached the queen and she whispered, "Your highness, isn't it tfor the king to get himself a
new whore?"
