Chapter 274: The letter with trouble.Sigrid increased her steps after leaving the hall, moving so fast that the heels of her shoes were singing a uniform song with the marble floor. Her need for speed left her ladies-in-waiting puzzled.
Christie wanted to ask why Sigrid was in a rush but Mauve stopped her and advised calmly. "This is one of those times when you wait until she speaks."
Sigrid entered the nearest solar, on the ground floor and snatched a letter out of Brolin’s hands. She ripped it open and read.

Or should I call you crown princess now? How have you been? Are you doing well in the capital? I know that life as the wife of the temperamental prince must not be easy for you.

For all we know, it is a trap for the crown princess. A single suspicion alone is enough for her to lose her position or her head. That knight has been gone for nearly three years. Why would he be writing to her now? Find me answers Brolin and fast or else....."
