Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Ellen looked at the woman who was standing at the other end of the table. The sweet smile on the woman's face made her look kind and sweet. She had the look of innocence that could always make people think of her as a person with a soft heart but not Ellen. 

To Be sincere she prefer lady Magret who was openly vicious than the innocent-looking woman. She had a feeling that the woman was a green snake. When she was a child she heard the story of the green snake in the green grass. The snake could blend well with the grass but it was not as innocent and harmless as the grass. 

Once one falls prey they will bite without mercy. "she is prince Craig's mother," Ericsson comes to the rescue. He thought the reason Ellen was starring at lady Emilia was that she was trying to figure out her identity.

'as expected' Ellen immediately confirm her suspicion. It was clear she was indeed a green snake just like her son. "Emilia at your service, your highness," Lady Emila said, she still had a sweet smile on her lips.

Ellen nodded her head and immediately looked away. "uncle, I hear you will be picking a wife at the Royal Ball in two days," Ellen had a smile on her lips.

The uncle came out so naturally from her lips, if she was not looking at Ericsson, Lawrence would have thought she was talking to him. 

What is the meaning of this?' everyone on the table had the same question. Ellen had just refused to call the king's mother, Mother but she naturally called his uncle.

Lady Magret was angry. This was not the first time Ellen was doing this. Was this her way of announcing that she did not like me? Lady Magret could not help but wonder.

Meanwhile, Ericsson was not doing well either, he did not want to talk about picking a wife. Even as he was seated he was still looking for a way to stop that from happening but since things are already like this he had no choice but to agree for the time being. "yes," his answer was plain.

Lady Magret turned to look at Ericsson. She did not know why but the thought of him picking a wife did not seat well with her but she did not know why. 

Sébastien who was looking at his mother saw the frown on her face. A smirk played on his lips. 

Just then, Elliott and his wife arrived. They bowed and greeted everyone at the table before taking their seat.

Let us eat," Sébastien said. The table became quiet and everybody eat their food quietly. Each person had their own thought in their heart.

Soon the lunch ended. "mother, I will like a word with you," Sébastien announced when they were done with lunch.

Lady Magret nodded her head and left the hall with Sébastien. "any news about Prince William?" Jane asked the moment Sébastien and his mother was out of sight.

"yes, someone saw him stop at an inn to have lunch yesterday," Jeffery answered. He had told the men to follow the lead.

When Jane heard this she breathe in relief at least there was hope of finding him soon.

"Mother, father, I brought you things over. The king invites you to stay for the Royal Ball." Lawrence said.

"it so kind of his Majesty," Lady Bridget said. To be honest, if Rose was not already engaged to Joe Yancey she would have talked to Lawrence about moving to Avalo. She has missed her son so dearly.

"Can I stay too?" Jane asked. She was afraid that she will be asked to leave with princess Ema and her brother so she added. *I came over with you, so I can stay right? " Jane had an innocent smile.

" of course, " Ellen was the one who answered. In just the small interaction she had with Jane, Ellen could already tell that this cousin of hers care a lot about benefits.

Why this is not bad, it was not good quality either. Most people who lost after benefits will end up without morals. 

If the person is very smart he will live a good life but if the person comes across someone smarter they will suffer the consequences. 

Just as Jane opened her mouth to thank Ellen, they heard another voice. "Your highness," Lady Emilia called.

Everyone turned to look at her. They were surprised that she was still present. 

"Lady Emilia," Ellen looked at her. She was wry of the kind smile on her lips. "can I have a word with you?" she asked.

Ellen did not want to get close to this woman but since she acted too polite there was no room to reject her. 

"let go unpark our things," Lawrence found an excuse. The whole family left and soon only lady Emilia and princess Ellen were left.

Lady Emilia go off her seat and went to sit next to Ellen. 

"Your highness, I pray you will not be offended by my words but I saw you were a sweet girl so I thought to give you this advice," Lady Emila's voice was calm and pleasant, but Ellen felt wry.

"go ahead, I will listen to what you have to say," Ellen nodded her head.

"Thank you," Lady Emilia looked humble on the surface but in her heart, she was cursing Ellen. She hate the way Ellen was talking to her in a superior tone.

She was not stupid, even if Ellen was not friendly to lady Magret, she did not use such a superior tone on her. 

"it like this, I know you are still young but a lady with Powe will have to be careful. No matter what lady Magret is your mother in law you should give her the respect she wants. Although a lot of mothers-in-law can be controlling what choices do you have as a daughter in law. To please your husband you must please his mother," *sigh'

" It is just unfortunate that some mothers-in-law are unreasonable, so I do not blame you for wanting to fight back, " Lady Emila looked like a mother advising her own daughter.

" I have heard you lady Emilia, " Ellen sounded impatient. She did not want to listen to what this woman had to say anymore.

Lady Emilia misunderstood Ellen's action. She thought that her plan has worked and Ellen will become more unaccepting of lady Magret. 

She aimed to make the wedge between the two grow bigger. Her words had a double meaning. She thought that Ellen was a senseless little girl who was trying to show off her power as the queen even to her mother-in-law. 

If this was the case will Ellen want to be controlled by lady Magret? The answer was clear but then she asked Ellen to be humble and accept it. Of course by saying so she expected Ellen to dislike Lady Magret even more and act against her( lady Magret).. This will give her the chance to become close to Ellen.
