Chapter 93: Mrs. Bumblebert outside the Vale.
Over a day later, when another of Sigrid’s carefully laid plans cto fruition and Mrs. Bumblebert arrived at the
Vale. Coincidentally, her chaotic arrival clashed with Mauve’s which resulted in a shouting match in which Mrs.
Bumblebert, a commoner with no pretentious dignity to uphold showed no mercy.
As Mrs. Bumblebert’s entrance was delayed, she decided that the court of public opinion could be used to kick
start her mission. Standing, outside that gates of the the Vale, she started crying out as if she was a new widow
still caught in the throes of sadness from losing her husband.
Mrs. Bumblebert was a widow, and she always took advantage of that status to make it appear as if everyone
was bullying her. After being forced to wait by Mauve and her knights, she went into coquettish mode
immediately.
First, she threw herself on the ground, rolled around and got sdirt on her face and then the wailing started.
"My fellow Eldorian’s cand bearwitness, | am a poor widow with no support. | have worked hard for so
many years to raise my son into an upright man. He is at the right age for marriage and my only wish in life now
is for him to marry an good girl and start his own family.
He was granted a marriage by the crown princess to miss Emmah, she is the savior of the crown prince and she
has been living at the Vale for over four days now." She sniveled and wiped her eyes, smiling as she noticed that
the small crowd had grown larger.
At least thirty people with nothing to do were there to watch the fun.
Mrs. Bumblebert slapped her chest and increased her volume, "Everyone is talking about how my son's fiancee
and the crown prince are in a secret relationship. My son has cby twice to take her hso that | can care
for her and she refuses to leave.
The crown princess wants my daughter-in-law to be the crown prince’s mistress, they are ruining her special
reputation. You have all seen it, they have refused to allowenter the Vale and meet my daughter-in-law.
We are being bullied because we are poor and | am a widow. This is a sin, it is a sin and crime, | demand justice."
From the balcony of the solar on the second floor, Sigrid was looking out, observing Mrs. Bumblebert calmly,
unbothered as if she had not been included in those the various accusations were being levied against.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile she was uneasy, Lanai was not because a smear on the reputation of the crown princess which was just
beginning to rise was not a good thing.
Pacing around Sigrid’s back, she said anxiously, "Your highness, we should send the knights out to seal her
mouth. The plan was for her to cover and smear Emmah’s name, we did not anticipate her pulling you and
the crown prince in."
Sigrid arched a brow and inclined her head towards the side to get a closer look at the faces of those in the
crowd. "I anticipated it, Mrs. Bumblebert’s character is that type. Now that she is aware that Emmah has magic,
she has figured out that Emmah is as good as a noble woman in status.
She also heard the suggestions that she be made Roland's secondary consort so she wants to cut off their ties
quickly using such means. More importantly, | made sure that she knows Emmah and her mother Mirena own a
house and have thousands of gold. Moreover, Roland will reward Emmah handsomely will thousands of gold as
well.
And lastly, | made sure that she knows her daughter-in-law to be wanted to buy three buildings. Mrs. Bumblebert
is greedy for money, she will not let Emmah go easily."
"True enough." Lanai responded with a grin. MadElene’s people had done a great job in trailing Mrs.
Bumblebert lately and whispering all these lies in her ears.
The woman was now convinced that if Emmah married her son, her grandchildren could be born with the gift of
magic. The Bumblebert family would rise through the ranks going from ordinary commoners to nobles. How
could she give up such a wonderful opportunity?
She had probably figured that by smearing Roland and Sigrid’s reputations and making it seem as if they had
other nefarious ambitions towards Emmah, public opinion would force them to send her out.
"Its a good plan your highness but still..." Lanai trembled and shook her head.
"My reputation will be no worse today that it was yesterday Lanai and | did ask Emmah if she wanted to be my
husband's mistress. Don’t worry, let’s just watch and see what happens, go and send that fake thing out to deal
with her mother-in-law." Sigrid said, sending Lanai away.
She sat down and picked up a pair of binoculars that was on the table, there was a fun show to watch and in a
few minutes, Roland would be arriving at the Vale as well. It would be so much more fun then.
Sigrid had already made calculations and deduced how this matter could possibly end, one Emmah would break
off the engagement by offering Mrs. Bumblebert and her son sbenefits and two, she would kill them off.
Of course, Sigrid was rooting for Emmah killing them, the Bumblebert’s were not good people anyway, that's
why she had tied the three of them together.
She watched Mrs. Bumblebert trying to get inside the castle but the knights kept pushing her back as gently as
they could but still their actions that riled up the crowd.
"Just let her in, all she wants to do is see her daughter-in-law."
"Is the crown prince really imprisoning miss Emmah inside? Didn't she save his life?"
"Maybe the crown princess killed her, everyone knows she is cold and unfeeling and she does not want the
prince to have a secondary consort."
"Why doesn’t miss Emmah cout, all this will be solved if she just comes and explains."
Public opinion was swaying like fluffy white dandelion seeds in the wind.
