Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

"Sebastian, my name is Sebastian."

Ellen nodded her head and immediately let down and closed her eyes. 'Sebastian" she muttered in her head. What a nice name she thought as she became curious to know more things about him but she did not dare ask.

Sebastian chuckled under his breath at her behavior. One moment she acted brave and the next she was scared of him like everyone else. Not that he minds through. He knew she couldn't act differently. After all, everyone was scared of him. Even Jeffery his right-hand man acted carefully when dealing with him.

His mother who took him to the hunted house also treated him like everyone else, so he could not expect more from her.

He could not blame them though, because sometimes the beast in him takes absolute control of him. So for him as long as she could stay close by and not betray him, he was okay with how every she acted. There was something different about her that he could not explain. It was as if seeing her made him feel human.

Ellen woke up with the first ray of light, she was surprised to see that everyone else was already awake and arranging their stuff together. There was meat on the fireplace, so she guessed they must have hunted some games. She runs her eyes through the surroundings but could not find the familiar figure with his white hair.

"My princess," her maids greeted her when they noticed she was awake. Ellen nodded her head in response.

One of her maids helps Ellen clean up and changed her clothes, while the other bow up some hot tea and made arrangements for her Breakfast. Sebastian's men paid no attention to her, for them the prince only married her to rebel against his father, after all, it will not be the first time the prince did as he, please.

The journey back to Avalo was quiet. Ellen felt more uneasy as they got closer to Avalo. she knew that she may never see her father or her kingdom again. She did not even know if she would be welcomed into the royal family. She knew the king of Avalo had eight sons, but she was not sure of how many daughters. Her heart was beating hard against her chest with sweating palms.

The King of Avalo was incredibly ruthless, so his nervousness was expected. The chariot pulled up at the font of the palace.

"Your highness we are here," the coachman announces, before opening the door to the chariot.

The coachman his head as the prince stepped out and Ellen, followed behind. It was already late in the even before they arrived at the palace. Ellen followed the prince quietly with her steps light.

"We would go greet the Queen and king, before heading to our quarter, Sabastian said in a stoic tone. Ellen felt shiver hearing his voice sound so cold and frightening. His aura seems different and if Ellen has not gotten off the chariot with him, she might have concluded that she was now walking with someone else.

All through their journey together his aura was not that overbearing. He seemed just like any other Nobel man, this was the reason sometimes forget and acted carelessly. Ellen swallowed with difficulty and nodded her head. She was already anxious and his voice was too scary for her to speak. She felt that if her voice was too high or low may irritate the man, then he would remember all her carelessness earlier and deal with her accordingly.

The door to the throne room was pulled open and Ellen followed the prince behind, trying not to bow her head to the ground.

As a princess, she was taught how to hold her head up with pride, so even with the anxiety she was feeling on the inside, she tried to carry herself, with nobility and grace.

" Father, mother, Sebastian bowed as they stood before the king who was sitting down elegantly with his Queen, sabestain's mother.

He nodded his head, trying to mask the excitement in his eyes. Maybe it was because King Rodrick was certain that the bride was dead or because Ellen followed right behind the prince, putting her foot where he just took off his. That king Rodrick did not notice the presence of another until Sebastian step aside and princess Ellen bowed in greeting.

"Your, Majesty, your brightness," Ellen bowed.

King Rodrick was dumbstruck two breathe. "how is that possible?" king Rodrik asked himself under his breath.

He got confirmation on the day of the wedding that the princess has consumed the poison. None of his men were with the prince and he sent no spy because he did not want his son to discover his plans. He even announced holding a royal ball in two days, in pretends of welcoming the new member of the royal family. Who would have thought she would actually survive and stand in front of him?

He knew for a fact that poison did not work on his cursed son, but how could the princess survive one of the deadly poison he had on his collection.

'Is it possible that the prince cured her? Or could he be that their cup got switch?" the king wondered within himself. "There is only one way to find out," he concluded as he made a new plan. With this in mind, the king nodded his head in response to Ellen as he gazed at her in an imposing manner. Ellen felt her knee go weak with the way the king was glaring at her.

Sebastian who was standing next to Ellen, notice how his father stared at Ellen like a predator looking at his prey. He could tell that his father was not given out a murderous Aura, it was something else. He knew the king fancy beautiful ladies, why else will a crown prince marry a commoner like his mother.

"Such a wolf, it seems my sunshine is going to attract a lot of pests," sabestain muttered under his breath.

"There will be a royal ball, to welcome you to the family in two days," the king informed without any changes in his expression.

"Your majesty" Sebastian bow. "Only you can plan a ball for someone you plan to kill," Sebastien said the other part in his heed.. He wondered if his father was planning a royal ball or a funeral.
