Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

" NEVER" Prince William stressed the word firmly.

"Then I will remember to burn incense for you yearly," the girls reply.

Prince William was irritated again, "let me tell you, I am a prince from Bozoa, if I really dead here your king will not be able to explain," prince Willam threaten, but his voice was too weak to make the girl scared.

"As if I will believe that, everybody knows that the Queen's family was welcomed into the palace. If you are really the prince from Bozoa you should not have encountered thieves," the girl did not believe him. She felt that the man was just saying big words to scare her.

"Queen," prince William wanted to find out what she meant by that but he was too weak to care about it. "It is your choice to believe me, but if you do not it will be too late," prince William let out.

When the lady heard him, she was a bit scared but she did not give in. "Then I will go to the palace now and tell the king that I found you have dead and saved you but in your sleep, you murmured something about giving the Queen poison to use on the king," the maid threatened back.

She may not know a lot but it was a common rumor that the princess from Bozoa can be used as a weapon against their king, so she threatened him.

When Prince William heard her, he did not have words to argue back. If this girl said those words to the king it may bring a lot of misunderstanding between the two kingdoms. More so, it was impossible to prove that the girl was lying.

"Go ahead," prince William did not give in to her threats. "I will after you are dead," the girl answered back.

Prince William did not have any strength to argue, moreover, he feared that the girl may really watch him die.

"Please," he whispered.

His voice was not loud but the girl heard him. "Did you say something, your highness," the girl mocked. She seemed to be taking him as a joke.

Prince William gritted his teeth in anger but he had no other choice if he did not want to die. 'Forget it, I can take my revenge after I am better,' he comforted himself.

"Please help me," this time his voice was louder, and maybe because Prince William was desperate to live he sounded sincere.

"You promise to pay me, I will take five thousand gold coins," the girl demanded.

"Fine," Prince William agreed. Five thousand gold coins were nothing to him. But the girl was surprised that he agreed so readily. She had wanted to ask that much because she thought he will negotiate.

"You are not lying to me right?" Five thousand was a lot of money to her. Prince William could not talk anymore so he simply nodded his head.

Seeing his action the girl quickly walk over to him and helped him back to the room. She had doubted him when he said he was a prince from Bozoa but seeing that he was willing to part with so much money she became scared that she might have offended someone she can not afford to  offend

After making sure he was comfortable on the bed she went out and returned with a bowl of warm water.

It did not take long for her to finish cleaning his injuries and applying the herbs. Meanwhile, Prince William watch her and thought of the best way to seek his revenge.

Suddenly he had an idea, he thought of how he could turn his situation around and get Richard into trouble.

"I need you to help me with something," he said.

The girl was surprised but she nodded in agreement.

Avalon Royal Palace

"Where have you been?" Princess Ema frown her brows when Jane finally returned to the quarter.

Jane took a deep breath, she did not understand why a very smart woman like lady Regina will give birth to such a dumb child. "Where else? Your brother is missing, of course, I stayed uncle for a chance to see Jeffery as soon there is news," Jane swallowed her irritation.

"So?" Princess Ema asked. She had forgotten that her brother was missing. She was still very angry at the maid and Ellen. She regretted not hitting the maid and teaching her a lesson.

"He has not been found but there is a lead," Jane answered. Princess Ellen nodded her head when she heard Jane.

"Did you eat lunch with the king?" Princess Ema asked. She remembers meeting the Zacks, it seems they went over to the king's palace to eat breakfast

"Yes," Jane answered honestly. She saw princess Ema frown. 'This princess did not even seem concerned when I told her, her brother was still missing but now she is angry because I eat with the king' Jane could not understand what was going on in Ema's head.

"So tell me, does the king treat Ellen well?"  Princess Ema inquired. One could see how curious she was.

"I do not know, from the time I arrived and left the king did not say anything to her. But the king's mother seems to dislike her," Jane shared her observation.

Princess Ema's face lit up when she heard this, as long as the king did not treate Ellen well then she was happy. Especially since the king's mother did not like her.

Who did not know that mothers-in-law can be difficult to deal with? Seeing the way princess Ema's face lit up after hearing her answer, Jane Shook her head.

"Can we join them for dinner this evening?" princess Ema wanted to witness Ellen's trouble herself. 

"I do not know, we can go over before dinner time so we can tag along," Jane said. 

"mmm, let us go to the Palace before dinner and pretend to inquire about William. I am sure they will invite us to join dinner," Ema replied. 

Jane's jaw dropped, she finally confirmed that this princess did not care about her brother. She has just been using him as an excuse to go to the Palace but why? 

This question is what Jane did not have an answer to.
