There was really not a single thing that she could do at the moment, Sigrid realized in distress. She had done her best to ensure that Emmah did not go near the two princes from Solandor and yet it still happened.

Sigrid had also ensured that Emmah was locked inside her bedroom and the lock on her door was broken to keep her in there. She had also made sure that the procession of the two princes did not pass by the Windrider estate for any reason.
