Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

"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. The prince was right she should have thought about this possibility before pushing the door open.

"Turn around," the prince said. It was a command but the prince was trying his best not to annoy her, so his voice was calm. He could still hear his mother's warning last night.

Princess Ellen bite her lips, her whole face turned red when she heard the prince's words. Although he had spoken calmly she knew better than to his obey.. So she tured around but her gaze was fixed to the floor.

Prince Sebastian had the urge to hold her close but choose to stay put. He could still remember the advice his mother gave to him the previous night when he told her about his fears. It was unlikely that the princess will agree to carry his child.

"What are you saying, with this handsome face you can charm any woman. All you have to do is seduce her," his mother's voice rang in his ear. This sounded strange. Usually, a woman would try to seduce a man.

He did not know how he was supposed to seduce her, but his mother seemed confident in her words. Who knew the princess will serve herself to him without him making an effort.

"Look at me," the prince said when he saw that she was unwilling to look at him. He wanted to be sure she was not scared of him at that moment.

Princess Ellen obeyed. She raised her head and decided to do the smart thing. She loved looking into his eyes, which will save her the embarrassment of looking at his naked chest. So she lifted her head and looked at his beautiful eyes.

The prince felt happy with her cooperation. Now that she was looking into his eyes without fear he felt more relaxed. He dropped his hands and took a small step closer to her, covering the space between them. Such that the princess could now feel his warm breath. Princess Ellen's face turned red. Her heartbeat quicken and she lost her ability to think straight.

"Why were you searching for me?" Prince Sebastian asked. Princess Ellen wanted to answer and explain to him but she could not speak. Not with him standing so close. The strange part was she did not want to push him away.

Prince Sebastian raised his brows wondering why she was not speaking. He feared she was scared to state why she came. So he asked again.

"Could it be that you missed me?" The prince teased. 

"No," princess Ellen immediately shook her head. Her face even blushed more. 'Is it just my imagination or is the crown prince of Avalo behaving strangely this morning?' Princess Ellen asked herself.

"Then did you come to steal something?" The prince raised her brows. His question annoyed the Princess. How could he think of her like a common thief she was a princess?

Although, princess Ellen managed not to show her displeasure on her face but the prince saw through her after all they were still looking into each other eyes.

"I would not dare your highness, Moreover I knock on the door twice and Jeffery also said you were inside before I stepped in," Princess Ellen explain.

Even if she was annoyed by his question, she knew better than to ignore him. Besides, it was best to explain to avoid any misunderstanding.

"So why are you here?" Prince Sebastian asked. He wanted to move on from the topic that annoyed his sun shine.

Princess Ellen turned speechless. She did not know how to remind him about the kiss he should give her every day. Prince Sebastian looked at her. He wondered what she was finding so difficult to say. 'Sunshine you dare to enter my room without permission but you can not state why you are here. Did you use all your confidence to come in?" Prince Sebastian wanted to ask.

"If you can not state your reason, you should leave and come when you are ready. Expect you want to watch me undress," prince Sebastian said and stepped back.

In reflex, Princess Ellen held his hand afraid to watch him walk away. After all, she thought that her life depended on the morning kiss. Prince Sebastian was shocked by her actions.

"At to camp when saw your face... You said I would die...  Unless you... Princess Ellen paused hoping that the prince will understand what she was asking for.

Prince Sebastian indeed realize why she was there,  he felt like patting himself on the back for successfully trapping the princess to him. "What?" Prince Sebastian acted though he did not understand what she meant.

Princess Ellen felt like rolling her eyes, she could tell that the prince was only acting ignorantly.  "The kiss," she said. In the face of death, princess Ellen could not afford to act shy.

Oh! The prince nodded her head and turned to face her fully again, princess Ellen let go of the hands she has been holding. "Why is the prince so nice to me?" She asked herself. Princess Ellen was no fool, she knew the prince would have killed any other person who walked into his room and met him half-dressed.

Just now she even held his hand. It did not make sense to her. She felt the prince cupped her face, his touch made her shiver, and her heart that felt calm raised again. It was not the first time she would be feeling the prince's lips but she could not deny her anticipation.

The prince lowered his lips and kissed her lips. It was not just a simple peck like the last time, he socks on her lower lips a little before letting go of her.

He looked at her closely. she made him want to do more than just a simple kiss but he held back himself. His eyes suddenly turned dark when he remember what he found out in the darkroom earlier.

"How much of that maid's food did you eat?" He asked unable to hide his worry. The anger that disappeared when he saw her was back. He still felt regretful for giving her such a quick death.

Princess Ellen looked at the prince surprised by his change of behavior. She was almost convinced a moment ago that he was in a good mood.

"Did he hate kissing me so much?" Princess Ellen thought.
