Chapter 150: What does it have to do with my food?

Sigrid used a remote to pause the credits credits that were rolling and looked back at the hundreds of misty eyed servants.

"Where is my dinner?" she loudly asked.

Dinner was supposed to be eaten at the same time as the viewing of the series. One activity was happening and the one, not so much.

"You...you want to eat!" Lady Iryne exclaimed.

Sigrid’s face was blank, she nodded and answered, "Very much so mama. I happen to be hungry and in need of sustenance."

Some of the servants, especially that whose duties were related to the kitchen and Sigrid’s maids started shuffling around, recalling that they had duties.

Lady Iryne dabbed at the corners of her eyes with an embroidered purple handkerchief. "You are so heartless." She sniveled. "Chloe just died Sigrid, her heart was ripped out." she wailed.

"And I am saddened for her but what does that have yo do with my food, mother?" Sigrid quizzed.

"Her entire family has been wiped out, even the little children." Lady Iryne bawled loudly.

Her cries synced up with those of some sensitive female servants that were just as emotional. One would think they were at a funeral with the way they were rubbing at their red eyes.

"Again, what does that have to do with my dinner? I am sure the actress that played Lady Chloe Fletcher and all those children are somewhere on our estate eating their dinner, so why can’t I do the same?" Sigrid retorted and sighed.

She had transmigrated, finally got a family and it turned out to be a silly mother and father. Why was she so pained over the fake death of a fictional character? All the actors and actresses that participated in the shooting of the rise of Lady Blanche were living on the Thorin estate.

Her mother interacted with the entire cast often, provided them with snacks during the filming and run around to ensure that they were healthy to keep up with the filming. She knew the actress that played Chloe was actually alive, so why the tears?

"You are as heartless as your father." Lady Iryne cried out sharply and run off.

Her husband run after her, calling her name loudly and Sigrid and duchess Mila rolled their eyes. Iryne was overly dramatic sometimes.

"Your mother is as silly as s goose sometimes." The duchess told Sigrid.

"Don’t I know it?"

Roland was as puzzled by the behavior of his mother-in-law, how could a weapon that paid others to set fires and killed decisively cry over the death of an actress. A death that was not real!!

When he tilted his head to his left, he realized that Jesting was crying as well.

"I will be damned!" he gasped in surprise. "Jesting, are you actually experience human emotions?"

Jesting froze, it was if he recalled that his personality was a neutral old man so he wiped the tears and made his face stoic again. He cleared his throat and replied to Roland, "Your highness, it is always a sad day when an honorable man or woman dies. The death of Lady Chloe Fletcher is a tragedy, an unfair tragedy. I hope that she will be avenged."

Roland lips twitched, he pinched his arm to keep from laughing, "What other comments do you have? I for one thought Lady Blanche’s pregnancy was the highlight of this episode? Her cruelty and betrayal of her best friend is no surprise, she only cares about herself after-all and will sacrifice everyone to get the throne. The pregnancy however!!!" he hissed and shook his head. "She is carrying her brother’s child for heaven’s sake. Someone ought to behead those two immediately."

"It is abominable." Jesting commented. "The fact that she is considering bearing the child is even more disturbing. You were right your highness, the boundaries of scandal have been pushed."

Lady Iryne returned, much calmer than she had been earlier. Food was served and everyone settled down, the third episode was started. By the time it finished airing, Sigrid had finished her meal and she was ready to turn in with a smile on her face. The mood in the room however was somber, the third episode had not brought justice for Lady Chloe. In fact Lady Chloe’s former fiance had sworn an oath to protect Lady Blanche.

Sigrid chuckled softly as she exited the room, she knew there would be a lot of people going to bed angry.

******

Sigrid thought she would be spending the night with her husband, instead she was commandeered by her mother and grandmother, so she found herself at a sleepover of sorts.

She was in the middle of the bed, trapped between her mother who was still sulking because of Chloe’s death and her grandmother that kept asking questions about her marital life.

The questions were not complicated until they arrived at the big one.

"Siggy, are you performing your nightly duties?

She turned her head to her grandmother, the light was dim so she could not make out the look on the old woman’s face.

"I would be performing them now if you two had not stolen me from the bedroom."

Iryne was not expecting that response, she was torn between laughing and berating her daughter.

Duchess Mila was not having it. "Take that sarcasm out of your tone young lady. I am asking because you have not reported any news about a pregnancy."

"You know how important it is for you to have a child." Iryne added.

"Are you using the right positions, maybe you are both doing it wrong. Perhaps we should wake him up right now and guide the two of you as....."

"Oh my God!!" Sigrid groaned and pulled the covers over her head. "I am not discussing this with the two of you."

She turned her body and faced her mother, unexpectedly her mother raised an irritating topic.

"Should we discuss what happened in the last episode of..."

Sigrid groaned a complaint out loud and turned away from her mother, facing her grandmother. If she had to listen to "Let’s discuss those positions, although I do not think that you can share anything I have not heard about before."

Iryne pouted, she started to think that maybe she should have spent the night with her husband. He was always willing to listen to everything she had to say.

They went to bed soon after that discussion but sometime in the night, Sigrid was awoken by a new notification from the system.
