Sigrid took another bite into the blue berry and listened with relish.
Duke Thorin took a sip of wine, exhaled and continued, "One day, the prince...oh sorry...he was no longer the prince because the title was stripped from him when he was cast out of the royal family, You see, Alexander did not sleep with just any other ordinary woman, he slept with the wife of the crown prince.
She got pregnant and had a son. As it turned out the boy was Alexander's child. When his brother Odin found out he accused Alexander of planning to usurp the throne. From what I heard, the grand plan was to kill off Odin and have Alexander's son named the new crown prince and next emperor."
"Wow...what a great plan. I like this Alexander already." Sigrid gushed.
"Of course you do." Roland rolled his eyes. His wife had a liking for the darker things in life.
"Shhh!" Sigrid kicked him on the ankle.
