Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Somewhere inside the royal city.

After being unconscious for a long time, prince Willam woke up. As soon as he opens his eyes he felt pain all over his body.

"You are awake," a young lady walk over to him and handed him a cup of water. Even if prince William was not sure how he got to a place like this but his throat was dry, so he accepted the cup and drank the water.

He then returns the cup to the lady without showing any appreciation. The lady was very dissatisfied with his behavior. She took the cup and walked away.

Prince William on the other hand did not see anything wrong with his behavior. From a young age, he has always had people who served him, so apart from his parent he did not see the need to tell a maid or servant thank you for doing their jobs.

He forgot that he was currently not in his father's palace and so the lady was not his maid. After the lady left she did not return to the room.

She had stayed up all night taking care of him since he had a fever at night. Her brother and his friend who brought him, needed back need to field the next morning so she has been taking care of him.

They had a feeling that the young man was a noble, but she never expected him to be ungrateful. No matter what he should know how to say thank you when someone helps him.

Prince William waited for a while but the lady did not return. He looked around the room and notice it was quite small. The memory of what happened before he lost his consciousness played in his mind.

He was not sure how long he has been out but feeling the pains in his body he was sure it was not too long. He had many questions. Like where he was and how long he was unconscious but the girl did not return to the room and he did not know how to call out for her.

He tried to get down from the bed but as soon as his legs touched the floor he felt an excruciating pain that made his legs give up and he landed on the ground with a loud *thud*

Outside the room the young lady heard the sound of falling and rushed towards the room but when she remembered his behavior before she decided to ignore him.

She was determined to teach the spoiled young noble a lesson. Inside the room, prince Willam felt the pain from the fall rush to his head. He bites his tongue to stop himself from crying out.

Some of his wounds opened up again. The people who saved him did not have much so they could not call a physician, from a young age they have learned the different leaves they could use on their injuries. So after cleaning up the injury they had to apply the herb.

Prince will saw the fresh blood dripping from his reopened wound. He wanted to call for help but he did not know what to say. He gritted his teeth and decided to crawl.

When he got to the door he took a deep breath and reach out to open the door. To his annoyance, the girl from earlier was standing outside. "You..." He pointed a finger at the girl. He wanted to scold her but he felt pain from talking.

Meanwhile, the young lady had an amused smile. When she first saw his state after opening the door, she felt guilty but seeing that prince William wanted to scold her she harden her heart.

When the prince saw the smile on her lips, he wanted to get up and slap the smile away. Unfortunately, he was too weak.

"Help me back to bed, my wound are opened," he commanded. since he did not have the strength to scold her. Prince William decided not to waste his breath.

Seeing that the man has not learned from his mistake she rolled her eyes. Even if he was a noble she was not her servant and he was currently in her house.

"I will not," she answered and turned to walk away. Her brother should have let this man die the previous day. 

When prince Willam saw that she intend to leave him, he become angry. " how dare you? " he wanted to scold her and show his status but he choked and coughed blood.

When the lady saw this she was moved, no matter how angry she was, she will not let the man die at least not in her house.

The lady just took a step to help prince William when she heard him curse under his breath. "I will teach this girl a lesson once I get better," Prince William did not mean to say it out loud.

She stopped on her track, "then I should just let you die to save myself," the lady said.

When prince Willam heard her, he finally came to a realization. He was too weak to do anything and if the girl continue to be stubborn he will die.

"I dare you? Do you know who I am? If I die here your whole family will perish," he threatens.

"How? In case you do not remember there was a conflict yesterday and you were beaten up by thrives. Your death had nothing with me," the girl answered without fear.

When Prince William heard her he become scared. Of course, he knows that given the situation of things, no one will blame the young girl for his death. So he decided to negotiate.

"If you help and take care of me, I will pay you well," his previous arrogant tone was gone.

"As if I will be fooled. You just want me to take care of you so that you will be alive to take revenge," the girl remains in her position.

"No, that's not it. I will really pay you the sum of gold we agree upon," Prince William said. He could feel himself becoming weak.

The girl purse her lips. "Say please," she said. The young lady knew that prince William will give her thousands of gold coins then plead with her.

Prince William was dumbfounded when he heard her.
