Chapter 114: A dead whore not consort.
Sigrid did not leave through the tunnels under the kitchen with the others, instead she stayed back and made
the fire worse, the more it spread, the better more it would be noticeable. By the tshe left, Rina’s entire
private quarters were on fire.
When she returned to the castle, she did not sit still or hide like the others, instead, she went out with her
knights, maids and Mauve who insisted on going with her. They joined the team of doctors and nurses tat were
tending to the injured in the city.
Many had been hurt by the fires set by the rebels, others had been wounded by swords, shad been
trampled on. Sigrid personally tended to the injured, bandaging wounds, comforting crying babies, offering
words of comfort and hope, and inspiring the medical team to give give their all.
Amidst the chaos that lasted through the night, her compassion and leadership shone brightly. Her presence
brought a sense of calm and reassurance to those who were suffering.
The whispers and praises about her in the makeshift hospitals set up on the streets and alleys traveled from
commoners to soldiers.
"She is worthy of being the crown princess, she cout to face the danger with us."
"The crown princess is my number one idol from now on."
"She smiled at the baby, can you believe it?"
"Where is the cold uncaring woman that everyone speaks of?"
As the opinions that people had about her were reversed, Sigrid was ensuring that the cameras for the daily
news got her best angles. She was out there for a selfish reason but it did not change the fact that she was
genuinely helping and she had brought many supplies.

As dawn started to break, the night long battle started drawing to a close. Roland and his knights had managed
to corner general Douglass Siberuss’s forces back. The numbers of the rebels had dwindled greatly, and the
white and red knights were filled with renewed vigor as they fought off the rebels that remained.
In a decisive moment, Roland confronted general Douglas. In every war, as long as the leader of the enemy army
was captured, his soldiers would surrender. Roland and Douglass locked eyes, and the tension was palpable.
"If you surrender now, the king will be merciful." Roland said. It was his final plea and attempt to make his
granduncle’s family see reason.
General Douglas, driven by his insatiable thirst for power shook his head. "The throne should have been ours, it
is my father’s birthright." he laughed harshly, "My birthright and that of my children. You are nothing but

He lunged at Roland with a ferocious attack but Roland with his superior skills and agility, deftly rained blows and
disarmed the treacherous Douglas within three moves.
"lI am a sword mage, you are nothing but an ordinary knight. How did you think this was going to end?" Roland
asked.
A fight between them was like a fight between an egg and a rock, the victor was already decided before the fight
even started.
The sound of triumphant trumpets was heard and everyone raised their eyes to the skies. Bright magical sparks
were exploding, telling everyone that the arch duke had been captured by red knights.
"It’s over, your father has been captured." Roland told Douglas.
With the rebels defeated, the white knights swiftly subdued the remaining rebels. The battle was won and the
kingdom saved the clutches of tyranny.
The rebels that were left with life were rounded up and escorted to prison. Roland set off for the royal castle to
check on the king and queen. The scene which welcomed him when he found the whereabouts of his father was
staggering.
Panic had erupted in the royal castle, the secondary consort’s chambers were engulfed in flames. Smoke rose to
the skies and choked the air, the heat coming from the fire was unbearable.
His father was shouting orders, commanding guards to venture in and save the noble consort, a command which
his advisors were very much against.
Servants and knights were scrambling to find more water, desperately trying to douse the inferno. They had
formed a human chain, passing buckets of water from every well on the castle grounds.
The head mage arrived as Roland was moving towards the queen that had a look of horror on her face. He
stopped in front of her first and gave her a rare hug which she returned.
"Mother, are you alright?" he asked as he backed away.
The queen nodded. "I am unharmed, what about you? | have been told the rebel army set fires all over the city

personally leading your men into battle?"
"I am alright mother and | am a sword mage. If | do not fight for Eldoria, | will be seen as a coward." He paused
because Sir Samuel was handing him a note.
It was a message informing him that Sigrid was fine and she had been tending to the injured all night. A feeling
of relief washed over his body and he sighed.
"What happened here mother?"
The queen glanced in the direction of the king who was still yelling for someone to find the noble consort.

Roland felt pity for the knights and servants that had died but he felt nothing for Rina. The news of her death
neither made him happy nor sad. He did feel bad for her children, especially Benjamin.
"Mother, please do not repeat these words to anyone else or smile when you talk about Rina’s death. Some
people could interpret it the wrong way."
"What way?" the queen asked.
"They could assyou were behind it." he whispered.
