<h4>Chapter 138: Scream for the right reasons.</h4>


    As she waited for him to reply, her fingers grazed the back of his hand yfully, as if they had a desire to touch but also didn’t dare to do so.


    "We..." Rnd started and stopped when Malia interrupted them.


    Perhaps, offended by theck of attention she had decided to go closer and sing into their ears. Rnd raised his eyes, unhappy with the interruption.


    Sigrid picked up her fan and spread it out, the thought that if Malia had no vocal chords, she could not sing crossed her mind.


    "I..."


    The sound of a p and Malia’s outcry which came next was a shock to everyone in the courtyard. Malia fell to the ground, trying to scratch her back which had been pped and Mauve stood over her like a towering viin with a smirk on her face.


    "You pped me!" Malia eximed.


    Mauve nodded shamelessly and put her hands her waist. "I did, and I will do it again if you try this foolishness around the Crown princess. You have seen the happy couple whispering and being romantic and somehow you think that they should make room for you."


    Selene and Lyra had run over to Malia and the two red at Mauve.


    Mauve raised her fist as if she was going to beat the two of them as well. "What are you ring at? Look down if you don’t want me to use your eyeballs as ingredients in my pastries." She hissed fiercely like a snake about to attack. "I have seen vixens like you, you are not even as good asdy nche at seduction but you run out in the day and wound your waist for all these men to ogle. What three beauties, they should rename you three vixens."


    She raised her leg and kicked Lyra on the buttocks. When she raised it to do the same to Selene, Mrs. Elsworth intervened by pulling her away from the three sisters.


    Mauve was unwilling to retreat without getting inst words or onest kick. "Why are you pulling me away? Let me kick the other one first, they are close sisters who share almost everything. How can one miss out on being hit? It is not fair to the other two."


    Even though Mrs. Elsworth had a firm grip on her, Mauve still managed to pick up the jar of wine on the table and ssh it urately on Selene’s face. It was like an arrow hitting a bullseye perfectly.


    The sisters screamed in shock, stood up and cried pitifully, looking at Rnd. They naturally expected him toe to their defense.


    Mauve suddenly rushed back, and the three sisters started running away. They had never encountered anything like this in their lives, it was humiliating! The guffaws of the people around made them feel even worse.


    Only moments ago, they had been the center of attraction and now they had beughingstocks.


    "What are you waiting for to get inside the house? Do you want me to give you a second beating? Maury, get my biggest rolling pin, today I will turn them into t bread. We will eat music for dinner and beauty for dessert."


    Sigrid couldn’t help it and neither could Cosmos, they burst out loud inughter which doubled when they saw a knight keeled over,ughing louder that they were doing.


    The petrified screams of the three beauties that they were being pursued by Mauve and her maids were stronger than Malia’s singing.


    It hit Sigrid then that she had forgotten that she had helpers, loyal people that could deal with the three beauties for her.


    "I was wrong, you chose the rightdy-in-waiting." Rnd admitted.


    "What can I say, I have good taste in people." With a helping hand from the female lead, these small side characters could be dealt with easily.


    Rnd squeezed his eyes shut as he recalled the the look on Selene’s face when the wine was sshed on her. He guffawed, wondering what expression his mother would make when she heard about it. "I was not expecting the wine."


    "Wine! forget wine, that first p...my God." Sigrid broke off and chuckled, almost losing her breath as she thought back on the scene. "Did you hear the sound!"


    That p had rung sharper than a sword striking iron. "Thank God she did not use a rolling pin or else we might be having human meat burgers for dinner."


    Rnd shuddered too, it was a joke but the thought was still disturbing nevertheless. Sigrid meanwhile was stillughing.


    "And the kick to the buttocks, oh...I can’t...it’s so funny." She shook her head and patted her chest gently.


    She failed to m down because the knight that had keeled over was stillughing and he sounded like a panicked swan that was honking. It just added more amusement to the entire situation.


    Out of the blue, she was carried out of her chair by her husband. It was not the first time he had carried her but the moment of choice was questionable.


    "Let’s do it." he said, looking into her eyes.


    Her very first thought was that he wanted to have sex immediately which was not surprising because he a virile man. Whenever he spent the day at home, they had sex at least two or three times.


    "Now! I am hungry, can we eat first?" she mumbled. She pouted and twisted her mouth around.


    Rnd found her adorable when she behaved like that.


    "I...."


    Mauve’s voice interfered with what he intended to say. The young woman was still scolding the three beauties.


    "You, the one who thinks her her voice is more mesmerizing than a sea siren. From now on, you cannot sing or scream in this castle without my permission or that of the crown princess. Does this look like a tavern where you can scream as you wish?


    My mother says women should scream for the right reasons and there are only three such reasons. One, when you see a big rat, two when you see a swording for you and three, when you marry and....."


    The rest of the voice which wasing from the kitchen was cut off. Sigrid had a feeling that Mrs. Elsworth had her palm over Mauve’s mouth. The young woman had no doubt been about to say something inappropriate.


    "Why are you stopping me, I must educate them properly so that they knew when, where and how to behave around my beloved Sigrid.


    Let me tell you I could not tolerate that fake sickly Emmah and I have no ns of tolerating you either. I could not touch Emmah because she was under the protection of the crown prince but I can touch you.


    You want to live here and seduce the crown prince, it won’t happen. Not on my watch!! Now, start kneading this dough for me or you will not have dinner and sleep in the horse stable tonight.


    Forget being called the three beauties, you will be the three horse brides."


    "Mauve Rosewood."Mrs. Elsworth bellowed.


    A series of ouch sounds followed, it seemed Mrs. Elsworth was inching Mauve’s ears.


    "Horse brides!" Rnd eximed.


    Sigrid shrugged, she had no idea what Mauve was talking about but the young woman had quite a temper and troublesome mouth. Away from the Rosewood estate, she was now unstoppable."Why do I feel like released the kraken!"
