Chapter 301: The Ridley’s on the Thorin estate!
The Thorin estate had unexpected guests and Sigrid did not count as one of those guests. Unexpected in this
case meant guests whose presence could not have been foreseen by anyone ever.
Nobody could have anticipated that Alexander Ridley would someday bring sof the members of his family to
Eldoria and knock on the gates of the Thorin estate.
The Ridley’s arrived ten minutes before Sigrid did. Duke Thorin nearly fainted on seeing Alexander Ridley again.
He wondered if this was one of those literal speak of the devil instances because not long ago, he had talked
about the man and suddenly he was on his doorstep.
The shock doubled when Alexander gave him a bear hug and called him an old friend. Then, he audaciously
invited himself into their hand asked the servants to prepare rooms for his family as they were staying over
for at least a fortnight.
By the tSigrid arrived, maids were serving refreshments and her grandfather was glaring daggers at Lord
Ridley.
Sigrid sauntered into the living room, walking gracefully with her hands folded together and resting on her lower
abdomen. She joined everyone and sat down. "I do hope that | am not interrupting. | had no idea that we had
guests."
Even though Sigrid had told her family members many times not to curtsy or bow before her, they still did. This
was especially so when they were around people that were not considered family.
Their actions prompted the Ridley’s to stand up and greet her.
"I heard the good news about your granddaughter’s wedding old friend." Lord Ridley bellowed in a delighted
voice. "I must say that | was sad not to receive an invitation. | have always considered us family Thorin."
Lady Iryne, Duchess Mila, Deanne and Annabelle Givenchy looked at the duke. Their puzzled eyes were truly
seeking for an explanation.
The duke that was truly lost just sighed. Was he supposed to tell them that he met Alexander only once when he
was on a secret spying mission? But, as Alexander was not the self appointed king of Northern Medoris, Duke
Thorin decided to indulge the man for bit.
Maybe someday he would be the Eldorian emperor. It would not hurt to be on good terms with him.
"If we are such good friends than why have | not received and free nuts from you in all of these years?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlexander made a noise that sounded suspiciously like a snort.
Sigrid was intrigued and she could not hold herself back from jumping into the conversation. "So you are the nut
king of Medoris. | must admit that you are not what | expected."
Lord Ridley picked up a cup of coffee and leaned back in the chair. "Really! Do tell crown princess, what did you
think the nut king looked like?"
"Shorter, with a sharp nose and chubby cheeks like the little figure on your packaged nuts." She looked at the
dozens of nuts that were being unpacked and taken to the pantry.
Lord Ridley had brought a variety and so many nuts that they could feast on them for a year or open their very
own shop selling nuts.
He laughed, as did the other Ridley’s.
"I think your coffee could use something nutty." Lord Ridley said, placing the cup back and the small saucer back
on the table.
Duke Thorin was surprised by Lord Ridley’s words. "You know coffee?"
Lord Ridley frowned. "Of course | know coffee. We drink coffee in Medoris, there is a Starbucks coffee house on
every street all over the empire."
Sigrid rolled her eyes. Was she really the only transmigrator trying to be original?
"You are copying and pasting as well!" Cosmos’s laughing voice cto her ears.
"At least | am changing the names, doing sresearch and making small adjustments. Emmah and this
Medorian high priestess.."
"Divine messenger." Cosmos corrected
"Whatever she is, she is not trying. Look at the new names of the Medorian cities. Tokyo, Seoul, Osaka,
Yokohama....con!! | can already guess that she was from Asia and ninety nine percent likely to be of
Japanese Origin.
And that silly goose Emmah, she wanted to act and produce titanic. She did not even finish shooting the first
scene and it all fell apart. You would think that now that she is in a family that owns ships, she would go ahead to
shoot her movie but that has not crossed her mind."
"Perhaps | should remind you that you keep ruining all of her plans." Cosmos laughed again.
Sigrid chuckled to herself. It drew the attention of the others and Duchess Mila tapped her arm. "Siggy dear, we
are making introductions."
Sigrid sat up straighter, giving them attention, ready to catch up on what she had missed. "I apologize, my mind
traveled elsewhere for a moment."
Lord Ridley was eager to reply with a smile, "No need for an apology your highness, you are an accomplished
woman with much to think about it. We passed through Nemoris on our way here and the people were singing
your praises.

"Of course." Lord Ridley replied with pleasure. "This is my oldest son Ethan Ridley and his wife Anatolia Phoenix."
The couple stood up and paid respects to Sigrid again.
"This is third son North Ridley and his wife Greta Spicer."

She had to cough to remind him that she too had calong for the trip.
Lord Ridley took her hand and smiled at her, very apologetic. Then he looked at Sigrid and said with pride in his
voice, "This is my wife Isolde, my heart and joy."
Sigrid gasped.
The small cup of tea in Duke Thorin’s hands fell to the ground.
Both of them wondered how the Isolde that should have been dead was alive and kicking. Was the story they
