Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Avalo Royal Palace.

After the coronation, King Sebastian finally moved out of the crown prince quarter with Ellen to the main Palace. Lawrence and his family were arranged to join Richard and Danny at the crown prince quarter.

"My Queen," Prince Sebastian said hugging Ellen who could not stop herself from smiling. There was just something about the way he call her that made her feel warm and happy.

"So you will no longer we're a mask?" Princess Ellen asked. She was not used to everyone looking at his face. She knew that most of the ladies present at the ceremony could not stop looking at his face. She wished he will continue to wear his mask.

She could already guess that with his face reviled many unmarried ladies will start scheming their way to his bed. She felt a headache just thinking about it.

"What? You want everyone to keep thinking you are married to a beast?" Prince Sebastian asked. To his surprise, Ellen nodded her head without hesitation.

"Really?" Sebastian asked looking at Ellen to see if she was just joking but he was taken by surprise again when he saw her serious expression.

"Why? Now that everyone sees that I look normal they will be jealous of you," Sebastian said. Although he knew only little about women they all like to show off their dresses and men. Yet his sunshine wanted him to wear a mask and be seen as a beast. Could it be that she is not a woman?

"I do not want them to be Jealous, as long as they think you are a beast they will not have any desire," Ellen answered on a serious note.

Prince Sebastian could not help but chuckle. Who would have thought that his sunshine will be so possessive like a man? "So what will you do if one day I decide to take a wife or mistress?" Sebastian decides to tease her a little.

Princess Ellen's frowned, it felt like a heavyweight was placed on her shoulder. She knew that if he decided to take another wife or a mistress in the future she will be unable to do anything about it.

She shook her head and walked away from him, she no longer felt like talking to him. If only she did not love him, she would not mind what he did.

She wanted to go back to the first day she meet him back then she did not care if he had other wives or mistresses. In fact back then she wanted to be as insignificant as possible to him but now she was unwilling to share him.

'Ahh! She knew ger wish was next to impossible. When the prince saw the way she walked away he smiled to himself before he walked over to her 

He liked the fact that she was not willing to share him with any other. This for him was a confirmation that she was beginning to love him as much as she loved him.

"You look very beautiful, my Quern," he said as he pulled her into his embrace. Ellen felt happy hearing his compliment but she stopped herself from smiling.

"How many wives and mistresses do you plan on having," princess Ellen asked. She felt that it was better to know and prepare herself. Although she did not want to share, since she could not stop him, she thought it was best for her to prepare herself instead.

"I do not know yet," Sebastian played along.

"Ahh! So when are you planning to take another wife or Mistress," Ellen asked another question. She was not even sure why she asked the second question.

"Tomorrow," Sebastian answered without thinking. Ellen froze in place when she heard him. She forgot to breathe. She never expected that the prince will be planning to take another wife so soon. She thought he would wait a couple of months at least.

When Sebastian saw her reaction he kissed her head. "I have to marry someone from Avalo, it is a tradition," he said.

There was a long pause, it took Ellen a while to put herself together. "I am tired," she managed to say when she finally found her voice.

She tried to break out of his hold but he did not let her go. "You understand I am just doing this because of tradition right?" Prince Sebastian asked.

"Yes," Princess Ellen answered. She has lost all the strength to talk. She just wanted to take off her dress and sleep.

When Sebastian saw how low her voice was he could not help but let out a low chuckle. "I was just playing around, I am not picking a new wife tomorrow," he said.

"So? Even if you will not pick one tomorrow, does it mean that you will not pick one in the future?" Ellen raised her brows.

"Of course, I have no plan of picking another wife or mistress in the future," he replied honestly. He knew he will be unable to share himself with someone else like he did with her.

Not to forget that getting intimate with another means sharing his memory and he could not trust another the way he trust Ellen.

"Says the man who invited his mistress over," Ellen rolled her eyes remembering Eva's visit. Although Eva had saved her from falling into the trap of leaving the palace she still was unhappy about her present.

"What mistress, I do not have any," Sebastian replied in confidence.

"As if I will believe that, Eva was at the quarter today with my uncle and his family," Ellen said.

Sebastian had no idea who she was talking about. For a man who did not address his must closest men with their names, how could he know Eva's name?

When Ellen saw the genuine confusion on Sebastian's face she was convice that she might have overthought things but she still describes her. It was only after she mention the incident about the night he returned with the smell of a woman scent that Sebastian finally knew who she was talking about her.

"I did not invite her, maybe Jeffery just wanted someone who knows the in and out of Avalo Royal city with his family," Sebastian said.

Ellen thought about it and realize that she misunderstood him. Jeffery had his family stay in her house, she might be close to him. Moreover, the last time she had perceived her scent on him, she suspect that Jeffery had been the one pretending to be the prince.

"She is not my mistress, I have nothing to do with her," Sebastian decided to say it clearly.

"Then I will believe you," Ellen said forgetting her displeasures a few moments ago
