Excerpt.

"A knife to the throat of your husband that has just returned from war, what do you hope to accomplish crown princess?"

Sigrid's eyes trailed down, to the silver blade pressed against her abdomen, she raised her head and laughed snidely. 

"A knife to the belly of your wife as soon as you return from war, other men start by saying, honey i am home. They also don't bring home unwanted canaries as presents for their wives." 

Roland leaned down with a part smug and part angry smoldering look in his eyes. It was if he wished to set her on fire, and not in the passionate way. 

"Honey i am home." he slowly said, dragging the words out.

Sigrid trailed the knife slowly over his neck, almost as if she was caressing it with her fingers. "Welcome back, i hope you don't mind but i intend to kill that canary. If you want to bring me a gift next time, try gold and diamonds. I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."

The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

The grand dining hall of the royal castle was a breathtaking spectacle of opulence with it's crystal chandeliers, shimmering floors, decorated walls and the long elaborately set table. Tension was ripe in the air as the diners took their seats, each looking uncertain, almost as if they were strangers to each other.

King Raff sat at the head of the table, his demeanor was unreadable, his thoughts unknown. Queen Maurelia sat beside him, her icy gaze the same as ever, it was filled with disdain for the man she was being forced to sit next to. It was easy to see their marriage, a union of political necessity had long been strained by mutual resentment.

Roland and Sigrid sat to the right of the king, exchanging nervous glances because the the arch duke, three of his children and princess Livia were at the dinner as well.

A most akward dinner.
