Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

"I asked you a question?" The beast said in an impatient voice. Biel was even more scared hearing the question from the monstrous voice. 

Beast, the rumors were indeed not lying. His pale face was now covered with hair and having those eyes staring at her like a well-served breakfast Biel found her lips open she started speaking. Her whole body trembled with fear. 

"Your highness, I do not know the person who paid. I only met him once. After your man picked me up yesterday.. A man entered my tent and gave me the substance. He said all needed to do was add a spoon of it to the princess food every morning he offered a lot of gold but I felt scared because I was sure that I would not be able to escape from the camp if I poison the princess. The man assured me that the princess would not die.." Biel stop and took a hard swallow before she hurriedly continue speaking.

She felt that the beast before her would kill her if she did not tell him all she knew. "I was no fool I knew the man was trying to trick me. Why would he ask me to secretly put something in the princess food if it will not hurt her? I was no fool to be used as a body shield

When the man noticed I was not convinced, he opened up and told me that no one will ever suspect anything as the substance will only ensure... Biel was scared to say the other part.

Suddenly she realized that no matter what she said she was going to die. She had committed an offense that is punishable by death. So she shut her mouth determine to die with the secret. In her mind, she believes that the prince will keep her alive to get the information. This will give her enough time to be saved by that man. He promised that he could do that since he was part of the prince's men.

The beast observe her face, he could tell what was on her mind. Unfortunately, he was not going to be speaking to her again. He stretched his hand and pulled her by the neck and tighten his hand around her neck. Looking straight into her eyes he devours her soul. He could get the answer he seek this way.

Buel did not have the time to understand what was happening.

Everything happened so quickly but Biel felt like time stop as felt her soul been separated from her body. For a second she felt that the person before her could see right into her soul. If he could do that why did he bother to ask? Unfortunately, she would never be able to ask that question or find the answer. The worst kind of death is not knowing the cause of the death. Biel could not tell if she lost her life because of his hands wrapped around her neck since she did not chock or it was the frightful gaze. "the crown prince is really scary," this was her last thought as she was completely swallowed up by the beast. 

The beast throws her lifeless body against the wall, Feeling satisfied. Prince Sébastien calmly took control of himself.

He was very angry and regret his action of given her sure a quick death. If he had known beforehand, he would have kept her alive and tortured her for years. He looked at the lifeless body a few feet away from him. She was nothing but an empty shell now, he felt regretful her death was too quick. If he could he did bring her back just to torture her. "I will just find the person who sent you? " He muttered to himself as he picked her body and throw her in the fireplace. 

The smell of burning flesh assorted his nose but the prince did not feel satisfied. He walked out of the darkroom feel more upset. Jeffery was shocked to notice the awful aura of the prince.

He knew that the crown prince hated his morning rituals but he had no choice if he wanted to stop the best from eaten him whole. The beast had to be feed.

But the prince was never this angry. He was sure that the prince would murder anyone that dare made a little mistake in his current state. He was curious to know what happened to the prince but he did not dare speak.

"Gather the workers together," Prince Sebastian instructed when he opened the door to his chamber. Jeffery simply nodded his head. He should warn the twenty about the prince's mood, he hurries to gather the workers together in the courtyard.

Meanwhile, princess Ellen just woke up. Her maids were already waiting to help her take her bath. "Your highness, your bath is ready," the maid bowed. Princess Ellen cooperates and finishes her bath and dressing up as quickly as possible.

It was already a new day and she need the prince to kiss her if she would live another day. Once she was done dressing she stepped out of her chamber and hurried to prince Sebastian Bed chamber.

She could only hope and pray that he was still inside. Once she got to the door, she knocked on it but there was no answer. Princess Ellen frowns her brows and knocks again. He was not out so early right?" She wondered.

"Your highness," Jeffery was surprised to find the princess knocking on the prince's door.

"Jeffery is the prince not inside his chamber,"    Princess Ellen asked. She was too occupied with her desperation to notice the skeptical look Jeffery was giving her. All she wanted to know was how to find the prince. 

Jeffery wondered if he should advise the princess to look for the prince later since he knew that the prince was in a bad mood. 

" His highness is inside... Before he could add his warning princess Ellen pushed the door open and stepped inside. Jeffery's jaw dropped. He did not expect the Princess to push the door open.

" you are courting death, " Jeffery whispered to himself but he did not bother to stop the princess. It was too late anyway. 

Princess Ellen took a deep breath as she closed the door behind her. She knew she had possibly walked into her death but she did not have any other choice, she would still die if the prince did not kiss her that morning. 

She turned her head to look for the prince but she froze when she saw that the prince was half-naked. His firm chest was displaced for her to see. 

"I am dead," princess Ellen shouted in her head. She immediately closed her eye and made to leave the room. Just as she pulled the door open it was shut with a force that startled her. Jeffery seeing this, move a few feet from the door. He knew better than to interfere in such a situation. 

Princess Ellen froze in her spot as she felt the prince now standing behind her. Her back was turned against the prince so she did not notice the grin on his lips. 

He had heard the knock earlier but ignored it since he was certain that Jeffery was not the one knocking. The knock was soft and he could tell that it was from a woman. 

In all honesty, he did not expect the person to dare push open his door, without hearing his permission, so he was definitely prepared to kill the person no matter her reason for opening his door without permission but that thought flew outside the window when he saw his sunshine standing at the door. 

"She looked so beautiful, " prince Sébastien felt pleased to see her, so much that he forgot that he was not properly dressed. But the smile that was about to play on his lips froze when he saw her closing her eyes and turning to run away from the room. 

He was confused, was she not please to see him, he frown his brows and without a second thought, he shut the door with the force of the wind and walked over to her. 

"Did you miss where you are going?" He questioned in his head as he rested his hands on the door, successfully trapping her between the door and him. 

"What are you looking for?" the prince asked. Since he suspected that she was there in search of something but decided to run away when she noticed he was still inside. Prince Sébastien was sure that Jeffery already gathered everyone in the courtyard. Which made it the perfect timing for her to sneak into his room without been caught. 

"Who," princess Ellen corrected his question. She was not looking for something but him. She was scared but she could still compose herself. 

"who?" prince Sébastien frown his brows wondering who else she would look for in his chamber. 

"you," princess Ellen answered Who else will I look for in your chamber, she felt like rolling her eyes. 

"Then why are you running away after seeing me?" He asked not believing what he just heard.

Princess Ellen blushed as the picture of his naked chest flashed in her head. The prince did not see this since the princess still had her back facing him. "you are not properly dressed," she answered in a flat tone. she felt the prince was deliberately making things difficult for her. Was it not obvious why she wanted to leave. 

"Why was he not dressed anyway?" she asked herself. Prince Sébastien frown his brows but he remembered that he was undressing when he heard her knock. 

" What did you expect when you walked in without my permission. If you dare to walk in knowing this possibility,  Tell me, wife, why would you not dare look?" prince Sébastien asked. 

"Wife?" why is he calling me that in this situation?" princess Ellen felt speechless.
