Chapter 266: Sigrid finally slaps Emmah.
Emmah’s old shop had been transformed thanks to ssilver which had been given to her by her grandfather.
It was now a pizza shop and as early as eleven in the morning, people were lined up outside, waiting to taste the
wonderful smelling delicacy whose aroma was flooding the entire street.
It was not just the smell that had attracted attention, the music and dancing had drawn in a crowd. Emmah had
employed a group of six beautiful young women, dressed them up in bright red dresses with antlers on their
heads and put them outside her store to dance to vibrant music.
The dresses cup to the women’s ankles and they were dancing modern dance moves, swaying their waists,
twirling in a way that was unfamiliar to Eldorian’s.
Speople had cfor the beautiful dancing women and others had cfor the pizza.
Many were recording, they were quite sure that the short dresses of the dancers could kick off a storm of fury in
the empire.
Deanna was one of them, she had been in the carriage, watching from a distance and recording. She had been
waiting for an opportunity to ruin Emmah’s grand opening somehow. But at nine months pregnant, swollen,
exhausted and hungry Deanne had not been able to resist taking a closer look.
Nothing said she could not taste the pizza and ruin the grand opening at the stime.
The two knights that were guarding her cleared a path for her through the crowd and she arrived at the front
where the dancers were. Her arrival coincided with the moment Emmah stepped out of the shop and joined the
dancers.
Pre-Fairfax Emmah would have been in a dress as short as the ones the dancers were wearing but she could not
risk angering the Fairfax’s so she had chosen to be decent by their standards.
She was in a long dress which had a small tail. The arms were open and she had compensated for that with a
pair of long black gloves. She had opted for bunny ears instead of antlers. Around her neck was a silk scarf that
was dancing in the air as she moved.
As she danced, the lucky halo glowed, making Emmah look like a professional dancer in the eyes of the crowd
instead of the amateur that she was. The crowd was loving it, clapping, humming, nodding, shuffling feet or
commenting positively.

"Even in a long dress she is outshining the rest."
"Where did she buy her gloves, they are so outstanding."
"This dance is awesome, lettry it out too."
Suddenly, Deanne had a bad idea. If she stepped on the dress "accidentally,” and it just happened to send
Emmah’s face into the window of her shop, it would not be so terrible.
Emmah would be embarrassed, she would go hwith injuries and the shop would be closed once again. As for
this pizza, Sigrid would find a way to get her hand on the recipe and by the end of the month, fifty pizza shops
would pop up in different corners of the capital.
Sensing her intentions, the halo started to counter before Emmah even lifted her foot to stealthily step on the
train of the dress.
A boy that was walking out of the pizza shop, opened the box to show off his prize to those that were waiting in
line. Someone slapped the box, it went flying and a tomato slice fell in the perfect position.
Deanne’s foot which was raised to step on the tail of Emmah’s dress slipped on the stray tomato slice. Time
slowed. She toppled backward-her pregnant belly leading the way. The knights held out their hands to break her
fall.
But, something in Deanne made her reach out for the edge of the flying silk scarf around Emmah’s neck. When
she pulled on it to pull herself forward, she dragged Emmah back.
As a mage and the owner of the lucky halo, Emmah was naturally stronger than Deanne. To save herself, she
pulled the scarf back with incredible strength and inadvertently pulled Deanne forward.
Deanne slid on a pizza slice, riding it as if it was a ski all the way--until she crashed into the glass window, head
first.
There was a moment of silence--five seconds at least during which tthe world seemed to have cto a
stop. All dancing cto an end despite the music playing on.
"Blood," Someone screamed, breaking the stillness of the moment. The blood she was talking about was running
down Deanne’s legs.
Speople started to run away, including the dancers that Emmah had hired. Employees of the pizza shop and
the knights hurried to Deanne’s side. Sigrid happened to arrive at that exact moment.
"Brolin, Cosmos, hurry." she heaved out. She had flown there with her horses because she had a dreadful feeling.
Cosmos pulled Deanne from the glass rubble with magic. She was unconscious, glass shards were in her collar
and hands. Her face was scratched, and her water seemed to have broken.
"It was her." One of the knights pointed at Emmah. "She pushed Lady Deanne."
"It..it wasn’t me." Emmah muttered waving her hands desperately. "She pulled my scarf, | was choking so | just
gently pushed her way."
"You shoved her with magic." The knight accused.
Sigrid whirled around and slapped
Emmah. It surprised her that the slap

Emmah cried out and touched her stinging cheek. "It wasn’t me." She denied.
Sigrid drew back her fist and punched Emmah on the nose. "Arrest her, if anything happens to Deanne or the
baby, execute her." She ordered.
Emmah crumbled to the ground, unconscious.
Sigrid did not have tto gloat over her first in person victory over Emmah however. She had to rush Deanne
back to the Thorin estate.
In the carriage, she used magic to

No matter what happened, as long as she had the potion running through her system, it would bring her and the
baby back from the brink of death.
It succeeded in waking Deanne up
and the greatest challenge yet
begun-screaming rege and mM
sponges struggled through
contractions. She was sure that her
entire body was being ripped in half
and this was not how she had
managed her birthing experience.
When they arrived at the Thorin estate, members of the family were waiting outside, nervous and unsettled.
Lady Iryne fainted as soon as she saw all the blood on Deanne’s’ dress and well as that on Sigrid’s dress and
hands.
As a screaming Deanne and unconscious Lady Iryne were carried into the house, Roland grabbed Sigrid and
turned her around.
"Sigrid, you are bleeding." He told her in a grave voice.
