Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Lunch Time.

Ellen had no idea what had happened during breakfast but she went over to the dining hall early for lunch.

"Your Majesty,"  Ellen bowed when the prince arrive a moment later. Sébastien nodded his head. He did not want her to address him so formally if they were not seated on the throne.

Sébastien sat down and Ellen did the same. "how is your first day been a king?" Ellen asked.

Sébastien nodded his head. "Everything has been going smoothly," Sébastien replied. Ellen nodded her head. She suddenly remembered the man that wanted to kidnap her.

"What happened to the man that attacked our carriage when I was returning from Bozoa?" Ellen asked. She has been curious about what the man was up to but they have not been the right time to ask.

"I have not spoken to him yet," Sébastien replied. He had been caught up with a lot of activities that he did not have the time to find out that Man's motive.

Ellen nodded her head, she was surprised that the king had not dealt with the man yet. "the books father sent..." Ellen left her words hanging.

"I will have a look once everything is settled," Sébastien sighed. It was such a lot of responsibilities to be a king yet brothers kill themselves for it. He almost forgot about the man called Dark in the darkroom.

He had wanted to deal with him when he had time but it seems the delay will only cause problems in the future. 

"How is your first day been the Queen?" Sébastien asked to change the topic.

Ellen was not even sure how to answer, it was already noon and she had spent most of her time in the room. She even mixed her first breakfast as the queen and her mother-in-law is already angry. 

Of course, she found out what happened during breakfast. Since they were maids present she definitely heard about lady Magret's complaining. After all these maids will want to get the favor of the new queen.

"it has been fine, so far," Ellen answered with a smile. Sébastien was happy to see her in such a good mood.

"Your majesty, your highness," Ericsson was the next to arrive.

"uncle," Ellen and Sébastien answered. Sébastien was surprised to see Ellen call Ericsson uncle to casually. It seemed like something she has been doing all her life. Just then Ellen's family(Lawrence, Lady Bridget, Rose, Richard, Danny, and even Jane was with them this time) arrived and they greeted the people in the hall.

Jane was here because she wanted to get a taste chance to find out about the progress of finding prince William. Besides she was trying to get closer to the Zack's. 

Jeffrey arrived right after them. He went over and bowed to Sébastien and Ellen before going to take him a seat. His rime with the king was short but Ellen Managed to pick Eva's smell from him.

What is going on?' Ellen was immediately lost in her thoughts. She already suspects that Jeffery will act as the king sometimes. Does this mean the time that she had smelled this fragrance Jeffrey was the one with her? Given the fact that Jeffery was the one closest to Eva.

This made a lot of Sense, Jeffrey must have invited his good friend over to the Palace since they predicted the conflict, just like Sebastian said last night. So what kind of friendship exists between the two?

When Ellen was deep in thought about this, lady Magret arrived. She was late because she did not want a repetition of what happened that morning. Unless she got the confirmation that Ellen was seated in the dining hall, she did not leave her quarters.

"Mother," Sébastien welcome her.

"your highness," her voice was not low. If anything on could hear disgust from her tone. Ellen finally came back to her sense.

She got on her feet and bowed to her. "my lady," before she would refer to her as your highness but since she was no longer the Queen, Ellen had to change the way she address her but Ellen did not have a good impression of Lady Magret.

To her, she was just as manipulative as Lady Regina. A person who can turn her son into a beast for the sake of power is definitely not a good mother. 

Moreover, like lady Emilia, Ellen also concluded that lady Magret did not love Sébastien like a mother should love her child because he was not the son of the man she loved. 

Nobody could blame these two people for having this thought, after all the news of how Koch the lady Regina adored the late king was everywhere. 

"it mother," Lady Magret could not help but correct. She was offered that Ellen still addresses her with her title. She has already told Ellen more than once to call her mother.

Ellen took her seat. "as you wish, my lady,"

Everyone on the table was rendered speechless. Logically speaking Ellen was supposed to call lady Magret's mother since she was married to her son. Not only did she not do that when she was correct, she nodded her head and agreed but did not change the way she addresses her (lady Magret).

Sébastien sighed, it seems that his sunshine did not like his mother. He could still remember her reaction after seeing his other side. She had blamed his mother. 'could this be the reason she did not like Mother?' Sébastien thought within himself.

He should have seen headaches coming if his wife and mother do not get along but he felt warm. It did not matter if his sunshine was going against his mother. The reason she did that was because of him how could he not feel happy.

Lady Magret on the other hand was angry, but she could not even argue back. After all, Ellen did not reject her suggestion on the surface, even if it was clear that she did. 'I guess I will have to teach this girl a little lesson, " she looked at Ellen threateningly.

Ellen did not know why but she was not scared. She knew she just bit on the tiger*s rail but she was willing to fight back.

Sébastien also saw the look on his mother's face but he was not worried. No matter what his mother will never go too far to hurt Ellen. She was still a pure heart and his mother knows she (Ellen) is important to him. 

Lady Emilia also walked in on time to see the face-off between Ellen and her mother-in-law. She was so happy. Since the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not get along, she saw a chance to make a move. 

"Your majesty, your highness" she(lady Emilia) bowed and smiled sweetly at Ellen.
