After meeting an unfortunate death on earth, Sigrid unwillingly transmigrated into a novel world becoming Lady Sigrid Thorin the unwanted wife of the crown prince. She resigned herself to her fate and set a goal to become the empress. 

But to become the future empress, she had to gain the heart of  her husband_the foul tempered Prince Roland Maximus a man that loathed her and would sooner kill her than kiss her. 

While his heart was too thin for her to squeeze into, it was rather wide for the woman he brought home on returning from a three month expedition, a woman he had sworn to protect forever. The same woman Sigrid was on a mission to destroy, an irreconcilable enemy. 

With misunderstandings, scheming and jealousy, thus begun Sigrid's trials to win the heart of the man that had undeniably captivated her with his dazzling smile and her mission step over the fake female lead, be crowned empress and change her fate.

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."

As soon as Roland told her that she was bleeding, Sigrid passed out. She fell back into his arms and he rushed her into the house.


"Doctor, bring the doctor." He bellowed an order.


The white and red knights, not wanting to endanger the life of the crown princess, commandeered the doctor that had been invited to help Deanne through her labor. For the Thorin's a challenge was presented. On one hand, they had a daughter-in-law, a wife, a sister-in-law who was suffering through the pangs of labor.


On the other hand, they had a daughter and sister, bleeding for an unknown reason. Nathaniel held onto the arm of the doctor as he was pulled away.


The red knights tugged on the arm of the doctor, forcing Nathaniel to let go. They hated to be the ones to tell him that when it came to priority, Sigrid trumped Deanne.


"What are we to do?" Duchess Mila whispered. Her heart was beating frantically.
