The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 325: The Nithercott sisters.

Lord Alexander knocked on the table with his knuckles, demanding for the attention of all those at the table.

"Laughter is good, but | beg that we depart from it for a few minutes and consider the seriousness of the issue at

hand. Akia Imogen Nithercott is not a woman to be trifled with. She single handedly changed Medoris, politically,

socially and economically. Now that the emperor is dead and snobles are openly expressing their

displeasure on her involvement in the political affairs of the empire, she is seeking an alliance with your crown

prince.

There are two types of alliances between men and women, one which is based on mistrust but rooted in mutual

benefits so it is strictly economical or political. And then, there is one that involves a deep personal relationship.

Eldoria’s laws, like those of Medoris still allow for a man to have two wives.

When it comes to relationships between no neighboring and warring empires, the best alliance is a marriage

alliance. And if that marriage alliance is with an emperor it is even better."

Ethan leaned forward and said, "My father fears that your crown prince will be charmed by Akia and help her

becempress of Medoris. After getting the throne, she will turn her eyes to the throne of Eldoria, seeking to

merge the empires and she will becthe empress of the largest empire in the world, as far as we know."

Cracking the shell of a hard boiled egg with a spoon, John said, "We are confident in dealing with this Akia. She

will not be the first divine messenger to attempt to manipulate the royal family. With my sister here, | am sure

that we will send her back to Medoris with her head bowed in shin no time."

"You speak too soon Mister John." Lady Isolde put down a spoon and she looked at Sigrid even though it was not

her nthat had been said. "Akia is not the one you have to fear, her sister Anita Nithercott is the one you

should dread. There is a reason as to why Akia is not coming alone. She is the kind of woman that makes three

plans, if the first one fails, she initiates another and then another. After three failures, she secretly takes other

measures to uproot the source of her failure."

"So she will killif her plans fail." Sigrid said in monotone.

Lady Isolde nodded. "Akia is an all or nothing type of woman. But she is clever enough to hide her desires behind

the face of a righteous mage who cares about the people and only the people."

"Tell us about this Anita." Lady Iryne sat up attentively. She was thinking to herself that if it was killing, she would

kill before her daughter Sigrid was put in danger. As long as the Nithercott sisters did not have luck like Emmah,

they could even be killed on the first day of their arrival in Eldoria.

"She is called the Holy Lady." Ethan's wife said.

"But she is no Holy Lady, she is just a witch." East scoffed.

Elowin pinched his chin, "So, a mage."

Lady Isolde picked up a small fork which held a small amount of bread pudding. "Mages like her were known as

witches in the old days. Women whose powers were so great that they could bring disaster to the land. They

were locked away in towers and castles, made to the serve the royal family.

But when the rhetoric about how much influence they wielded over kings, knights and wars spread, they were

labeled witches and persecuted. To defend themselves, many turned to unusual magic, the kind that involved

raising of the dead and killing innocents.

Fear of bad witches spread quickly. Any woman that was seen doing something out of the ordinary was put to

death quicker than she could protest. There was massive hysteria, people reported their neighbors for small

things, true or false. Anybody that has a grudge against a woman could simply shout witch and the woman

would be killed.

Then whispers of male witches started and men too started to suffer the sfate as the women. In the end, all

magic was banned in Medoris. But, there was a war and the emperor almost lost so he changed his mind on

magic, but only allowing it among men and only if they served in the royal army as mage knights."

Lord Alexander jumped in, "This rule was not highly welcomed, after all, mages made more money on their own

than in the service of the king. Rather than announcing when a mage awakened, families, especially nobles

started keeping it a secret. The emperor in turn ordered for compulsory testing of all children at birth.

Knights and the high mage Siren would show up at houses in the dead of the night, torturing people for

information on missing women reported to be pregnant and in hiding. Infants with magic were ripped away from

their mothers and sent to a town where only mages lived....."

"Can we skip the history of magic in your empire?" Elowin cut in.

Lord Alexander smiled. "Forgive me, | tend to branch off when | speak of this topic. Anyway, Anita, the Holy Lady

would have been considered a witch if we lived in the old days. She is a woman who is so alluring, so enchanting,

so irresistible and yet so lethal. Because of this reason, she is rarely seen in public because men and women lose

their minds when she speaks to them. When her nis spoken, men tremble.

I have seen it with very eyes, | saw her make the emperor kneel before her and kiss her feet in the presence of

his wife and children."

"It is unnatural." Ethan shuddered.
