Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Prince Sebastian had a hard time crossing through the forbidden forest with his men. He did not realize that they had a lot of fear in their heart. They had only walked into the entrance of the forest when most of them fell under the spell of the forest.

This was the weakest part, prince Sébastien immediately realized that if he crossed with them like he had wanted to, he might spread up to a month in the forest. It would take too much time, and the current situation did not give him the chance to do that. A lot of things can go wrong if he was missing for more than two days. so he decides to look for another part to cross the side of the forest. It took him an hour to bring them back to their senses.

He instructed to cast a spell of his own, of course, his power could not be compared to that in the forest but as long as these men could focus on the road and follow him they would not fall into another trap

The forest was harmless on its own as long as you do not want to take anything out of it. So he made each one of them get a cut at both sides of their necks. The pain was something that could easily bring a man from his stupor. Moreover, one will not get tempted by what they can not see.

When a man was in pain he thought of notice else but how the pain could be cured. The wounds were not so deep, so the prince had cast a spell on it, to make the pain almost unbearable. Then he told them in a calm voice. 

"I know you are all in pain but it will all be over if you follow me and we get to Bozoa," prince Sébastien said in a flat tone. Once the men heard this, they climb their horses and hurried him to take the lead.

Lucky apart from the temptation of greed in the forest there was no other temptation. It was only when one tries to take a gem from the around that one gets attacked and would end up wandering the forest for the rest of their life. 

Prince Sébastien had made them cut themselves on the neck because he knew that a few people could beat pain and will still look side. This action will make their neck hurt so that they would immediately remember that looking forward was the only thing that could ease the pain.

They traveled under this condition. The prince was able to travel in this condition and they cross the forest in a few hours. There was still a distance between the forest and Bozoa. The men were still experiencing a bit of pain as the spell of pain was yet to wry out.

They accounted a group of cutthroat on their way. This was expected, the group was only made of five men, and the prince casually dealt with them as his men were not in the state of fighting. 

After dealing with the group, he used one of them for his morning ritual. It was already past breakfast time when the prince and his men arrived at Bozao. At this time his men were already in their senses.

When the guards saw the cursed prince they opened the gate for him without question they knew of the princess present in the place. 

Prince Sébastien and his men arrived at the Palace, and the guards help them in. Only prince Sébastien was taken to the king's study since Princess Ellen was inside the study with her father and Princess Ema 

Inside the study. 

Princess Ema had gone to her father to report her grievance to her father. King George was informed by Tim of her attempt to kill herself the previous night. 

Unlike her mother who lied, princess Ema had told the truth of what she said that made her sister slap her.  She did not think anything was wrong with what she said.

In the past no matter what she did, princess Ellen never dared to raise her hand. If the princess spoke to her too loudly she would cry and her father or mother will scold princess Ellen, finding one way or another to blame her.

Besides the princess had gone to the extent of hitting her this time. As expected, King George sent for Princess Ellen. 

"Why did you hit your sister?" king George asked in a calm voice. He did not speak too loud. He could not bring himself to scold her. No matter what he did not want his children fighting each other. One wanted to kill herself and the other did not seem to have any life in her eyes.

Princess Ellen paused and looked at her father, it was the first time he asked her opinion when she was reported to him. In the past, he would just go ahead and scold her. 

"Why? Did she not already tell you what happened," she looked at her father without any intention of explaining herself.

" I want to hear what you have to say, " King George said. If there was one thing he realized with the incident that happened with the Queen a few days ago, it was the fact that this daughter of his did not even care what he thought.

She must have given up on getting any justice from him. Over the years, King George had favored Ema because he did not want jealous among his children, it turned out that he lost a daughter in the process of trying to have a stable family. 

"Father, I have nothing to say, whatever she said was the truth. Do you have a punishment for me?" princess Ellen said.w

When the. King heard her words he turned his head unable to face this daughter of his. He had failed and when he looked at her calm expression he felt more guilty.

Princess Ema felt speechless. This was not how she had expected things to go. Usually, when she told her father something he never verify the truth from the princess before scolding her. 

Princess Ellen would always try to explain herself but the person before her was different. "This is not my sister, how did she change so much," princess Ema thought.

The king was in a difficult position, on one hand, he could not overlook his younger daughter's face, on the other hand, he did not want to scold princess Ellen he owe her too much. Just as the king was put in a different position by the two, a knock was heard on the door. 

"Enter," king George said. He was not willing to handle the situation.

"your majesty," Tim bowed. "princess Ellen's husband has arrived," he informed. Since people were now aware of the current situation of Avalo prince Sébastien could no longer be addressed as the crown prince. When princess Ellen heard this, she unconsciously got up from her seat and started walking out of the room. Her behavior surprised the other people in the room.

She did not wait for Tim to finish speaking, so as soon as she opened the door she run into someone and lost her footing.
