When she returned to the Vale, Sigrid took a bath and settled down in the living room, preparing to watch the latest episodes of Lady Blanche like everyone else.
In order to create the perfect environment, Lama closed the thick drapes, Lanai turned the mystic viewing TV crystal on while Sigrid laid down on the sofa and reached her hand out to pick up a slice of gooseberry from a very beautiful mahogany coffee table that was sitting on the softest rug which covered the floor of the entire room.
Just as the berry reached Sigrid's mouth and highlights from the previous episode started to play, a voice interrupted her.
"The king and queen are expecting us for dinner." Roland's voice boomed through the room.
It was filled with energy, just as he was when he strode in elegantly and sat down in the chair opposite hers. He seemed to dislike the big distance between them, so he moved over to where she was.
