Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

After sleeping for three hours a knock finally woke the couple up. "Your highness, the tailor is here with your dress," Rosa said standing outside the door.

At that moment she was feeling very scared. She knew that that crown prince was still inside so she did not dare push the door open. 

"I will be out shortly," princess Ellen replied.

Princess Sébastien got off the bed, he also needed to start getting ready for the coronation. Princess Ellen on the other hand hurried into the bathroom to clean up. As usual, the servant had already arranged the water, since the first light of the day. 

When she came out, prince Sébastien was dressed and ready to leave. He moved closer to her and captured her lips. Prince was Ellen was caught off guard after all she thought he was about to leave. 

But it took less than a few breaths for her to recover. And enjoy the moment with him. "If the dress does not fit, I have asked Seven to prepare an alternative dress," prince Sébastien said when their lips parted. He could not leave his Sunshine dress in the hand of the incompetent tailor

"Thank you, I am sure that she will not dare disappoint me again,"  princess Ellen replied. The prince nodded in agreement, "I will see you later Queen Ellen," prince Sébastien said before walking out of the room.

As expected Jeffery was waiting outside the chamber. "Your highness, * he bowed before they both walked away.

" lord Darth seems to have made some plans to cause trouble. I had The twenty keep eyes on the lords after what happened last night. It turns out that lord Darth leads a group of the other lord. They eye your throne," Jeffery summarizes.

"Then they have to step over my body first right?" prince Sébastien did not sound worried at all. If someone was seeking his own death, he will gladly kill them.

"yes, the other lords seem to back down after what happened last night, but lord Darth is different. He seems very confident in whatever plans he has made, so the group is divided into two," Jeffery explained.

Prince Sébastien raised his brows, last night he was not allowed to kill, but today he will be given the ancient sword to fight against whoever dares to challenge him for the throne. Usually, nobody dared, since it seem like a waste to challenge someone who have received the blessing of the gods. 

So he had a feeling that this was the only opening in the ceremony that will give lord Darth a chance to strick. In the last ten years of his life, he has been watching all the lord closely, so he more or less has an understanding of each of them, even if he hardly knew their names. 

Since they already started their attack the previous night he was sure that a person as careful as lord Darth, will realize that he only has one chance to strick so he will come at him with all he has. Moreover, he had a feeling that lord Darth will not dare attack him so openly. 

This will mean that even if the plan fails, there will be no real evidence that he was behind it. 

"your highness, like I said the group is already in two. Although the other two lords do not dare to join today's plans, but they have plans to destroy lord Darth if he succeeded," Jeffery continued to explain.

"Then let them destroy each other while we watch," prince Sébastien replied. He knew that nobody will let go of benefits when given the chance, especially if it is connected to the royal family.

"Your highness, I think it is best to destroy the plan before it starts. You can not afford to make your coronation so eventful," Jeffery did not agree with the prince's plans.

For the two groups to destroy each other, lord Darth will have to succeed in his plans, and there was no way Jeffrey will allow that to happen. 

" Do you think a person like lord Darth can hurt me, even if I do not have a sword?" prince Sébastien asked.

"no, but what of princess Ellen, if things get out of our hands even a little she might pay the price," Jeffery said. He knew the prince does not take his safety seriously but the same can not be said of his wife. Although he was certain that Darth will not realize that the princess is the prince's weakness, but the prince usually becomes a bit dumb when it concerns the princess, so Jeffery was certain that the prince will give in.

So the only way he could talk the prince out of his crazy plan was to say this. He knew the prince wanted Avalo to go into a state of internal war for a few days. 

This will definitely make the lords show their true colors, he wanted to eliminate any future threat, but this will be all too risky. 

"fine, find out what the lord is up to, stop it, but I still want to watch a show. Today Mother and the princess should remain at the crown prince Quarter till everything is settled," prince Sébastien changed his mind a little.

He was drawing out this plan to protect his sunshine and their future as long as most of the internal enemies are eliminated now, it will take time for new ones to raise. 

" I understand, " Jeffery bowed.

" Also get your family into the place and my Quater," prince Sébastien instructed remembering his conversation with his sunshine. After saying this, he walked into the study.

Jeffrey breathes a sigh of relief. This time Jeffrey was not sure how big of a plan lord Darth has, so it was best to keep the Queen and the princesses safe. 

Luckily he did not have to worry about his family once they were safely in the Palace.

..... 

"Brother, where have you been all though last night?" Princess Ema asked as the three of them sat around the table ready for breakfast.

"It is not a concern of yours," prince William snapped. He did not expect his sister to have realized that he went out last night. If she knew then the lady Jane will know too now that they are talking about it.

What if Jane decides to call off their engagement. As it is, he does not have much power in the Palace anymore so he needed Jane to be by his side. 

"Why? I am just concerned about you. Remember what mother said," Princess Ema replied in a calm voice. Their mother has already fallen to such a state so they needed to find some support for themselves.

When Prince William heard this he felt a bit guilty. "I heard from some of the guards that the royal city of Avalo will be in celebration, so I decided to take a look, what better time to make get new connections than when the people are celebrating," prince William lied with a straight face. No one could see through his lies at all. 

"you are so wise Williams, even I did not think of that," princess Ema nodded her head in satisfaction.

"hmm, I think we should visit princess Ellen, as her family it is the right thing to do," Jane said. She felt guilty for misunderstanding the prince.

"you are right, although I heard the maid murmuring that the people of Avalo did not welcome her as their Queen," princess Ema said. She sounded as though she was worried for princess Ellen but deep down she was happy that the princess face such a fate.

"Is that so, then we should go over immediately after breakfast, at least having us around will make her feel at ease," lane spoke in a concerned voice but the prince saw through her pretentious act. He could tell that these two just wanted to witness princess Ellen in her misery.

But he did not stop them, after all, he was curious too. Princess Ellen was behaving so arrogantly back at Bozoa, so this sight will be quite interesting to see. After giving it a thought, he nodded in agreement and the three finished their breakfast quietly.

After they finished eating they have asked one of the maids in the quarters to lead to princess Ellen. Previously prince Sébastien and princess Ellen were expecting Richard, so they had chosen a Quater not too far away from the crown prince quarter and the maids that were arranged were very good.

The maid did not find their request odd, since even princess Ellen had come to check the Quater previously so she thought that they were in good teams with the princess so she lead them over.

Grater was the one who welcome them, at that time princess Ellen was already informed about the tailor had arrived. Seeing the people in the welcoming hall Grater did not feel any headache. These people were not good to the princess so she did not think it was right for the princess to see them before having her breakfast. It make bring bad luck to the princess, so she decided to come up with a random excuse.

"Her highness is still a bit busy, I will inform her once she has the time to see you," Grater's voice was very polite. One could not find anything wrong with it.

So they had no choice but to nod their head. "I will have a man come over to serve tea," Grater excused herself.

The three people nodded their heads. Each wonders what the princess could be busy with so early in the morning.

Princess Ema thought that the princess was feeling too ashamed to see them, after all, she was putting on the air of the future queen of Avalo back in Bozoa but reality has slapped her on the face. 

Jane on the other hand felt that her good cousin must be treated like a servant in the Palace. Otherwise, what could she be busy with? Prince William thought was not different from the two. 

So in the end, they silently agreed in their head to wait and see how miserable princess Ellen is in Avalo.
