The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 238: The cunning Lord Fairfax

The lucky halo above Emmah’s head got to work. ENTV reporter Davira Mace just happened to be walking by

with three members of the camera crew and a scholar that hosted a few shows on the history of Eldoria.

As a reporter, Davira’s interest was piqued as soon as she heard the words accident, hero and noble. She came

closer, her crystal camera ready to record the scene. She also had her phone in hand, planning to interview

witnesses and collect the facts.

What she did not expect was to hear someone calling Emmah Windrider Lord Derrick Fairfax’s daughter.

"Can you repeat that?" she pushed the small crowd apart, in her eagerness, she stepped on the foot of the

horseman that had caused the accident. "Can you repeat that please, is miss Emmah Windrider Lord Fairfax’s

biological father?"

The crowd's ears twitched, they all looked at the woman eagerly, Please fill us in, their eyes begged.

"Yes," Wanda nodded and confirmed before Lord Fairfax could not stop her. Then she covered her mouth and her

face frowned. She appeared to be apologetic and she went ahead to apologize. "I apologize Lord Fairfax for | did

not mean to expose your well guarded secrets. | was just excited to see that two of you together.

| did not know that you had taken your daughter home. It is a good thing however, | believe. Despite the

circumstances of her birth, she is your blood and she must return to her roots.

Moreover, she is a mage. Your Fairfax family should be excited to have a mage after three generations without

one."

Emmah shook her head, seemingly hesitant and shocked. "I am afraid that you are mistaken Mrs. Wanda."

Wanda shook her head and bellowed, "I cannot be mistaken you silly child. | was a witness to their relationship

and also happened to be there when you were born. Should you need more witnesses you can find sof the

cooks that used to work on the Windrider estate or your mother. Didn't she tell you this?"

Emmah’s face which appeared to be slightly pale, paled even more. Her large eyes becteary and she

appeared to be frightened. "She might have mentioned it in a letter but....."

Mrs. Wanda sighed loudly and cut her off. "You did not want to bring shto yourself and your father. You are

such a kind child, you have always known where your real family was but chosen not to bother them even after

the Windrider’s left you behind. And yet, in the end, the universe led you here and you saved your father's life."

Emmah shook her head, "I was just coming to look for a job as a dishwasher. | did not think that we would meet

like this." She looked Lord Derrick and said softly, "I never planned to cto you ever. | have been living a

sufficient life on my own."

The crowd grew more excited, they forgot all about the accident. Davira recorded all of Wanda’s words and

Emmah’s. She was already planning to rush back to the station and share the story with the news director.

She had already put one and two together. Emmah was the illegitimate daughter of Lord Derrick and a maid that

used to work for duchess Mila. She had saved the life of her father and a child in a twist of fate that brought

father and daughter together.

Lord Fairfax cleared his throat and took a step backwards. "Excuse us everyone," He looked at Emmah smiled

and said, "Please followinto the restaurant."

The crowd was not very willing to let them go but they had no choice. They could only watch in dissatisfaction as

Emmah followed Lord Derrick into the restaurant. Davira called the news director immediately, with everyone

having access to phones, news spread very quickly lately.

Emmah and Lord Derrick went to a private room that he had already reserved. She was nervous but also

confident that he would not refuse to take her in as the news of their ties was now public. Even if he refused to

take her into the Fairfax family, his father the count would do it, to keep tongues from wagging and people

judging them.

The biggest reason why he would accept his son’s bastard daughter was because she was a mage with ties to a

royal prince.

The moment they entered the private room and got comfortable, the smile on Lord Fairfax’s face faded. "Do you

believeto be a fool?" he asked.

Emmah who was mid cough paused. "Huh!"

Lord Derrick Fairfax belittled her with his eyes and derisive smirk on his lips, "I do not believe in coincidences. |

could have believed that you just happened to be in the right place and saveat the right time, but the

appearance of that loud mouthed woman that shouted out the possibility of a relationship between us to

everyone within listening distance was too coincidental."

Emmah removed her hand from her mouth and smiled stiffly. "I have no idea what you are trying to insinuate

Lord Fairfax."

Emmah lowered her hands under the table and she clenched them. Things had taken an unexpected turn. Lord

Derrick Fairfax was not the easy going, always smiling, soft man he appeared to be in public.

Lord Derrick Fairfax saw the confusion swirling in Emmah’s eyes. He leaned back and laughed, a hollow chuckle

that chilled Emmah’s bones.

She thought to herself that no wonder Lady Jane Fairfax was a drunk. If she was married to a man like this, she

would probably be the same. He had ten bastard children he knew of and a calculating cruel nature!!

"What is it that you want from me?" Lord Fairfax slowly asked Emmah. "To receive my recognition and come

home? Is it your desire to ascend the ranks and go from commoner to noble Lady?"

He spoke arrogantly and by right as

he had the upper hand. He knew his

If she was allowed into the Fairfax family like this, she would step on their heads, use them and throw them to

the side when she got what she wanted. It would be best to trim her pride and arrogance before taking her back

for recognition.
