Chapter 254: Fruit heist.
Sigrid quickly cast a spell on Deborah’s mouth to keep the little girl from revealing anymore secrets.
"Unbelievable." Lord Duluth muttered.
"Simply despicable." Lord Rodrick turned his nose up in the air.
Roland, dragged Sigrid into the green house, commanding the rest of the nobles to stay outside. They found the
Thorin’s hard at work, filling carts with various fruits.
"Ahem." Roland cleared his throat.
Lady Iryne raised her head, her eyes flashed over Sigrid and Roland briefly before returning to the task at hand,
harvesting winter melons which were as yellow as the dress she was wearing. "We did not think that you two
would be joining us."
"We did not think that you would be here either." Sigrid commented. "Do you all know where you are?"
"The mage estate." Elowin answered, approaching them. "I tried to be the voice of reason but mother said |
discovered these seeds so...."
"So we must taste the fruits before others." Lady Iryne finished off for her son.
Duke Thorin’s figure cout from behind sthick winter melon vines. In his hands was the largest winter
melon Sigrid had ever seen. "Siggy, | think you said you had a recipe for winter melon soup." He slapped the
winter melon lightly three times. "This one will do just fine for breakfast tomorrow morning. Perhaps we can
discuss the disapproval in your husband's eyes then."
"This is not your personal farm, you cannot waltz in as you please and make off with whatever you want." Roland
said in a huff.
It had happened six too many times. The mage estate seemed to be turning into the Thorin’s personal grocery
shopping grounds.
"I gave Eldoria four mages, the least it can do is payback with a few magic fruits to nourish my daughter-in-
law who is about to give birth." Lady Iryne raised her head and her eyes found Stomach’s stomach.
Roland was standing beneath a tree and it started to shake. A scream was heard and a child fell out of the tree.
It was a little boy from the Givenchy family, Sigrid could not recall his name.
He landed in Roland's arms and grinned up at the prince, showing him his missing row of front teeth that had all
fallen out.
"Phank you." he said in a small voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRoland had no words. He put the boy down and he run to Duchess Mila.
"Kip, how many times do | have to tell you to stop climbing trees?" Duchess Mila raised her voice.
From the ground, echo berries that had fallen out of the tree chimed in. "Kip, how many times do | have to tell
you to stop climbing trees?"
Roland jumped back, startled so much that he kicked away an echo berry. "Talking fruit!!"
"Talking fruit." the echo berries repeated after him.
Elowin used magic to get the echo berries to shut up. As he was doing that, duchess Mila screamed. Kip was
dangling from a winter melon vine!!
Roland looked at Sigrid. His eyes that held a minor irritation seemed to say, you deal with this because | cannot
reason with them.
"I will handle it." She told him.
Immediately she started giving out orders, "Brolin take two carts of fruit and share them between the nobles.
That ought to cover up sof their dissatisfaction.
Lanai, call Davira Mace and invite her over here in my nfor an exclusive interview on magic fruits, sof
which we intend to grow on large areas in the North.
Elowin, Nathaniel, and father, you three will be doing the interview. Kip and Deborah can also say a word or two.
Let us turn this fake agricultural research trip into a real one." She sat them down and coached them on what to
say.
Three hours later, she was back in the royal castle, eating ssliced pears and watching a live interview in
which Kip charmed Eldorians with the big gaps in his teeth and love for echo berries.
"The noble lords won't be able to spread any lies about your family now your highness." Lanai said.
Sigrid snickered.
Mauve was shuffling cards. They were playing go fish while watching television and eating fruit. "I cannot believe
that | missed the fruit heist."
"I cannot believe that you made a student fart in class." Sigrid responded.
Mauve put down the cards for three seconds and she chuckled. "Azarius will forever be remembered for that
mishap. But it was not intentional, | did not know that giggleweed could have such a side effect. | tried it on
Maury before teaching a class on it."
Sigrid tilted her head back as far as it could go so that she could take a look at the maid Mauve was talking
about.
The young woman smiled and shrugged, "Lady Mauve paid me."
"How much?"
Maury held ten fingers up. "Ten gold coins."
Tilting the chair backwards on its two back legs, Sigrid whistled. Ten gold coins to be a test subject for something
as minor as giggleweed was quite a high reward.
Mauve slapped the table suddenly,

"Do it again." he said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ignore him." She told Mauve. "Why did you slap the table and startle me?"
Mauve decided to start with an apology. "I apologize your highness." She stood up and curtsied.
"Forgiven."
As she sat down, Mauve explained why she had slapped the table. "I was just expressing myself because | do not
know how to whistle. No matter how many times you try to teach| blow air. How do you do it?"
Picking up her cards Sigrid offhandedly answered, "Maybe you should try using magic. There ought to be a spell
that can make someone whistle or an herb. If giggleweed can exist then who knows what other outrageous
things nature has grown in secret."

She raised her wand and pointed at Maury commanding with confidence, "Whistoria."
A white light darted out of the wand, Maury opened her mouth and broke out into a perfect whistle. For some
reason, she whistled out the thsong of The dark rise of Lady Blanche.
"Just so you know, she costs ten gold coins. She is not a free magic tester." Sigrid warned Elarin.
Elarin was in shock, and when she looked at Maury, the maid was smiling like a hungry cannibal, holding her
hands out and waiting to receive her gold.
