Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

The fight for the princess's hand in marriage was indeed bloody. in the end, Rickson was the last man standing. As a man from a reputable family, his victory made Queen Regina happy.

Princess Ema's face turned sad, there was nothing wrong with this man that she should complain of, but she had devoted her heart to Joe for years now.

She felt hurt, she could not understand why princess Ellen was favored over her. She could still remember how the court of the noble tried to save Ellen from marrying the cursed prince.

Some of them even had the guts to hint that she was trash and the best person to give away to the cursed prince. She thought the people would learn to love her after princess Ellen left the kingdom. 

What hurts her apart from Joe already been engaged was the fact that Rickson was the only outstanding man that came out to fight for her hand. In the past, the record has that, even the poor in the society would give up their most price possessions to have a chance to marry the princess. 

Yet in her case, no such thing had happened. No man stood up to fight with his all for her. 'am I that useless?' this was the question in her mind.

Everything finished quickly, she did not even pay attention to what happened. Her fate was closed. She would be married to Rickson. 

After this fighting it was already late in the evening, usually, after the tournament, a boutique would be heald at the Palace. Many of the nobles returned home to have a change of clothes. 

At the same time in Avalo. 

The so-called prince Julia was dragged to the front and beheaded in front of many people. Since Julia was still considered part of the royal family his head was not hung on a stick for display. He was immediately buried and everyone went back to their usual activities. 

Lady Catherine cried bitterly. Not just at the death of her husband but she was also angry that her plan to ruin princess Diana had failed. 

If she could not even deal with a small princess life Diana, how would she handle someone like Princess Ellen? 

She had made up her mind to take Revenge but she could not get caught. She was still crying when a maid came to inform her that she had a guest. 

"Are you here to mock me?" Lady Catherine put on an arrogant look. She would never allow anyone to step all over her. So what if her husband was dead, she was still a widow of the royal family and the daughter of the great General Thompson.

"no, why should I?" the person who sat down and leisurely sip from his Tae as though he owned the place replied.

"Why are you here?" Lady Catherine asked in a flat voice. She did not want to be bothered. All she wanted was to live her few hours of freedom alone.

At the first light of the next day, she needed to go over to prince Sébastien quarter and serve her punishment. 

" We have a common enemy, don't you think we should take it down together?" the person asked.

"Your highness, I am a widow of prince Julia who just got beheaded. Please allow me to morn, my husband, peacefully," Lady Catherine said.

She was not stupid, after her husband died she realized that people could not be trusted. If there is a way to save themselves they will definitely throw the other person on the edge of the sword. 

She could still remember how the other two wives betrayed her. If only vara and that princess had stood by her side since they agreed to deal with the new princess together then her husband would still be alive. 

So she lady Catherine had made up her mind not to get involved with anyone. She would take her revenge by herself she would never allow anyone to use her. 

The person chuckle when he heard her reply. "morn, why bother about morning the dead when my brother will only find rest if you avenge him. We both know that the princess is the reason why your husband died. She must have seduced him with her pretty face and form innocent when her husband arrived at the sense. The princess is so good with words and pretending, " the person answered unwillingly to give up.

" So, lady Vara would have saved the situation if only she supported me once the news reach the king but no she saved herself. I, lady Catherine daughter of General Thompson will avenge my husband but I will do it alone," she declared with pride.

She was not afraid to say such words since this person also hate the crown prince and his wife. 

" Very good, but how do you intend to do that. You can not even touch the small princess from Tait, do you think the other is someone else to bully?" the person asked.

Lady Catherine was angry when she heard him mock her but she did not bother to throw a fist. No, she could no longer act without thinking. For all, she knows this person was here to make her confess her involvement in what happened in prince Elliott quarter and she would never fall for it. 

"I do not know what his highness is talking about," Lady Catherine said in a calm voice. It was one thing to say that she would average her husband and another to agree to commit such a scheme as sending a man to rape a member of a royal family.

The person was surprised to see her act so rational.  "you can pretend all you want, but we both know you need help in your quest for vengeance. I can help you. I am only asking to walk together. You already have plans to seek revenge and you know the risk in the part you have chosen,"

"I can help you come up with a plan but you will bear the risk yourself. Are you in?" the person asked. He reach for his cup of tea and took a sip.

"The tea is nice," he praised as he watch lady Catherine deep in thought.

"What is your plan?" Lady Catherine asked after carefully giving it a thought. She needed a plan. Since she promised her husband to take Revenge she has been thinking of the best way she could hurt the princess without anybody knowing or tracing it to her.

A smile appears on the face of the handsome man making him look nobler. He knew she would not be able to resist. 

"Just to be clear, I have not agreed to work with you or your plans. I just want to hear it and sleep over it," Lady Catherine said.

Hmm, the man nodded his head he was convinced that lady Catherine will definitely accept his plans.
