Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Prince Edward's chuckle grew louder hearing his brother's words. "you do not fool me anymore. Thompson already told me about your plans," prince Edward stamp.

"Thompson,?" Ericsson frowns his brows. He realized what was going on. Thompson has also told him how his brother was just using him. Things finally made sense to him. Thompson was trying hard to turn them against each other.

Prince Edward misunderstood his brother's reaction for guilt "Dare to deny?" he asked.

"Brother, how could you believe such a thing. We grew up together. I have supported you in everything. How could you believe that? Don't you see? Thompson just wants to create a division between us" Ericsson explains to his brother.

"just stop with the act. I loved you as a brother but you," prince Edward paused and looked at his brother. "you are not my brother. The only thing stopping me from putting a knife in your heart now is mother. I will never break my promises to her," he said.

"Same way I want to keep my promises to mother. The throne is yours and I would not allow you to act stupidly," prince Ericsson said.

"just stop with the act okay. At least now you can have the throne without fighting me," prince Edward replied coldly. It is not that he still doubted his brother's words but he hopes that his sharp words, will make his brother get angry and leave the tent.

"Then put the knife through my heart," prince Ericsson said as he draw out his sword. Prince Edward also did the same. Lady magret who has been standing outside snapped out of her stupor. She and walked into the tent where the two men looked as if they would kill each other.

There would be no need for that, " she announced her presence as she made herself visible.

" What are you doing here? " prince Ericsson pointed his sword at her.

" put down your sword, " prince Edward commanded not happy with his her brother's attitude.

" Why? " how could she get here without being seen by anyone. She is still the enemy and we can not trust her," prince Ericsson said.

" I don't care just put down your sword," Prince Edward said. His voice was no longer harsh. Lady Magret was standing in front of him and all he wanted to do was pull her close.

" No, not until she tells us how got into the camp," prince Ericsson said.

Prince Edward sigh and put down his sword. Knowing his brother he was sure the man would not listen to him unless he heard a satisfying answer.

"I just made myself invisible," Lady magret said. She knew that the two princes will not believe her.

"You must think I am stupid!" prince Ericsson spoke. His voice was harsh.

"I do think you are stupid, after all, you lead me here," Lady Magret decided to irritate the prince whose sword was still pointing at her.

"I am not afraid to cut off your head," Prince Edward said. He was annoyed by her words.

" I know that, but I am not easy to kill. I have my own tricks off my sleeve. If I could sneak into this camp without being since even by you. You should know that I am not simply," Lady Magret said.

Ericsson gritted his teeth in annoyance. "What do you want? Why are you here?" prince Ericsson asked.

"Drop your sword. Why I am here is non of your business. It is between me and the prince," Lady magret said pointing at Prince Edward.

"I do not trust you, so there is no way I will let you stay alone with my brother," prince Ericsson said but he lowered his sword.

Lady Magret rolled her eyes and walked over to Prince Edward who immediately pulled her into a hug. "How are you here? I heard you were getting married today," Prince Edward asked.

"I told you already, I am yours. How could I let my father marry me off to someone else?" Lady Magret answered as she relaxed her head on his chest.

" you were engaged to your groom since your birth. How could you give yourself to another? " prince Ericsson asked. He could not even understand the two people before him. One was willing to lose his throne and the other ran away from her wedding.

"Because I never asked to be engaged to him. My heart belongs to your brother, so is all of me," Lady magret replied.

"stupid," prince Ericsson could not stop himself.

"was it difficult to run away? Do you think your father will chase after you?" prince Edward asked.

"I doubt that, but if he does he would never think of looking this way," Lady magret said.

"Great? Are you hungry?" what would you like to eat,? " prince Edward asked.

"Hungry, I would eat anything," Lady magret answered.

Seat, " prince Edward lead her to his bed and helped her seat down. He then served her a cup of tea, since he knew it will take a while to get her something to eat.

He also brought her a plate of meat. You should eat this and regain your strength," Prince Edward said. Prince Ericsson shook his head seeing the way the two people ignored him.

" Die for all I care, " he cursed under his breath as he walked outside the camp. He was still feeling hurt by his brother's words earlier.

Lady magret took a sip of the tea and smiled gratefully at the prince. 

"You should not treat your brother like that?" Lady Magret said seeing that Edward was out of the tent.

"What do you mean?" prince Edward was surprised by her words.

"Your brother cares about you. Whoever told you he was after your throne is lying," Lady magret said. She was sure that prince Ericsson really care about his brother. Since the day they met, she saw how he was always on guard for the crown prince.

"How much did you hear?" prince Edward asked.

"Everything, I had followed behind him to find you tent," Lady Magret replied.

"How can you be sure. People pretend a lot," Prince Edward said looking at her.

"I just do, his gaze is pure," Lady magret said.

"I know, I was a fool at first but when we were arguing just now, I realized I was wrong but I did not back down because I knew he would offer to go to your kingdom in my stand," Prince Edward said.

"oh! Lady magret smiled relieved to hear his explanation. She love the relationship between the two brothers and she did not want them to turn into enemies for the wrong reasons. 

" you should apologize," Lady magret said and prince Edward agreed.
