Chapter 231: Desperation of a fake female lead.
Emmah was not having a very good day, it had not been a good week or month either. From the moment she
abandoned the Windrider’s, she had been living in hiding, not daring to show her face in public.
While she was hiding out on Benjamin's estate she had been living like a fugitive. Desperate to hide the news of
her presence there, she had kept a low profile. Normally, she moved around the estate like an overlord, barking
orders, stepping on servants and firing those that displeased her.
However, since she was in hiding when she went there this time, she had been meek like a baby lamb. Her
language was polite, when she met the servants and Benjamin's foster children she was nice.
It had killed her to behave that way but she had done so because she did not want to draw unnecessary
attention to herself. Things becmuch worse when Prince Benjamin decided to pick a leaf from Prince Firron’s
behavior, choosing the most advantageous female to be his first wife.
Emmah had known that there was not much she had to offer anymore since she was no linger a Windrider so she
suggested possible brides for him. Being the clever woman that she was, she had suggested women from small
noble families. Those that would not be a threat to her position if she ever married Benjamin.
Benjamin however had spoken to his advisors and they all recommended that he court Mauve Rosewood. She
thought he would reject them outright but he had done the opposite.
He had accepted the suggestion gracefully and even called Mauve exquisite. Emmah had been eavesdropping
on the conversation and she had almost burst through the door to rip off Benjamin's head. He had said he loved
her, how dare he find another woman exquisite!!!
Reality had hit Emmabh really harshly, giving her a much needed wake up call. She was not the daughter of a
noble, she was not a powerful mage, she was not wealthy. As a transmigrator, she had nothing to show for
herself for all the tthat she had been in Eldoria.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo, she pondered on all the ways that she could reclaim the glory which she so desperately wanted to claim and
her mind turned to the Eclipsion sword. The sword could only be wielded by a mage. The king who was
desperately collecting the shards of the word was no mage.
If she could get her hands on it, she could use its power to overthrow the Maximus family and becEmpress.
She would not stop at conquering Eldoria, she would make her way to Nemoris, Medoris and even cross the
ocean and conquer Solandor. The entire continent would be hers as long as she had the sword which was said to
split the world in two with one slash.
After coming up with a plan, she roped Benjamin in. He took her to the royal castle and they pulled the king into
it. What she did not expect was that after the last shard was acquired, they would be attacked.
She also didn’t anticipate that in order to save her life, the lucky halo on her head chose to force Benjamin to
save her rather than the king. This resulted in the king being gravely injured.
Initially, Emmah thought the kings injuries were a stroke of luck, she could heal him and return to Eldoria a hero.
Saving the life of the king was more rewarding than saving the life of a crown prince. Unfortunately for Emmah,
her lucky halo had been losing strength steadily.
It was like an old rusted engine in an old car on its last life, coughing weakly whenever the car was started. The
halo had used up a lot of luck to make Benjamin ignore the trained instinct of every knight to save the king in
every situation at all costs and save her instead,
When she needed its power the most, it failed her. Her little magic which had been burning out like a fire in a
rainstorm could not even stop the king's bleeding. A young mage, a boy of only twelve had been the one that
stepped up, doing what little he could. He managed to buy the king tto hold on until they returned to the
city.
Emmah and Benjamin had been arrested by red knights and then she was thrown out of the royal castle in
disgrace. She tried to return to Benjamin's estate but red knights had already surrounded and blocked it off.
Nobody was going in or out.
She went to the house Roland and Sigrid had rented for her after she was thrown out of the Vale by Mrs. Elsworth
and found that it had been sold after she accused the Thorin family of hiding gold mines.
She thought about knocking on the gates of the Fairfax gates and declaring who she was but she had a strong
feeling that they would not welcher with open arms. The only way she could go there was if Lord Derrick
Fairfax, her father, personally took her back.
For a while, she meandered through
the streets with no address in mind.

Emmah had eliminated that thought from her mind immediately. It did not even cross her mind to wonder if her
mother was alive and doing well.
She continued to ponder on where
else she could go and she thought

She walked for so long, that she reached a point of exhaustion and sat down on the street, next to sbeggars
that were not afraid of the snow.
One of the male beggars sniffed her hair, she jumped up and run away screaming at the top of her lungs. Her
screams drowned in the loud celebrations of the Eldorian’s who were rejoicing because Nemoris had been
conquered.
