Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Lady magret watched as Sebastian opened his mouth and take a mouth full of air, tap open Ellen's mouth, and seems to blow the air into her mouth.

"What was he doing?" Lady Magret could not find her voice to ask. When Sebastian had said he will help her, he thought he had some spell or knowledge.

So she was taken aback by his action, from her point of view, Sebastian was only kissing the Queen. How could her son be this seamless, he did not even respect her present.

Sebastian looked at Ellen, he was not sure if what he was doing will work but he thought there was a chance.

Since what her body needed was air, Sebastian was hopeful that his action will work, so he continued to repeat the process.

After some time lady, Magret could not take it anymore, "Son, if you keep disturbing her like this you might only end up killing her," She said.

Truth be told Lady Magret did care if Ellen died or not but she knew she was very important to her son. Sebastian was also scared of hurting his sunshine so he moved aside.

So she could not stay back and watch her son act willfully. After pushing her son awake lady Magret immediately took Ellen's hand close her eyes to feel her pulse. To her amazement, it was stronger than before.

"Could what it really work?" Lady Magret looked at her son. When Sebastian saw that his mother was giving him a strange look he panic and took Ellen's hand from his mother, her pulse was indeed better than before.

"Mother, I think it worked," Sebastian was relieved.

Lady Magret just nodded her head, apart from Sebastian's action just now there was no other way to explain why Ellen got better.

Unless it was similar to the midnight story told by her mother when the handsome prince can wake the princess with a kiss.

"Then should I try more?" Sebastian did not dare act wilfully. 

"Yes," Lady Magret answered but this time she walked out of the room. No, she could not take the sight before her. It looked like her son was showing his love in front of her.

She wonder if a kiss could really wake a loved one? If she had tried it back then would she have saved her love?

"How is the Queen?" Erickson was waiting outside. He did not go in as he was sure his presence made no difference.

"The awakening herb must be brought over tonight or she will not make it," lady Magret answered honestly.

Erickson opened his mouth like he was about to say something but he shut up. Who did not know how difficult it is to find the awaken herb, it will at least take a few hours to send the words out. Then more hours to gather the information before the teacher will begin. At least two days was the easiest.

"Should we push forward the royal ball?" Ericsson asked after the short pause.

"Why? Sebastian seems confident of laying his hand on the herb in the morning or are you doing this because you no longer want to pick a wife?" Lady Magret asked.

"No, I already left the decision to you. Where you not the one that said she only has this night?" Erickson argued. No matter what the palace can not hold a celebration if the Queen dies the night before or the morning of the ball.

"She will be fine," lady Magret said. She was confident that her son will not let anything happen to Ellen.

It was just like her back then, if she had not hurried to the mountains after casting the first spell, she would have been able to keep him alive even if he was sleeping he would not have due until she found a way to save him.

Ericsson just looked at lady Magret unable to understand her thoughts. First, she sounded like there was no hope to save her, then she started being so positive.

'Did she lose her mind?'

....

Meanwhile, in the waterfall, the water was still falling heavily at the mouth of the cave, luckily their lamb had a lot of oil, so even when it become cold they could use it to keep themselves a bit warm.

Inside the river, Jeffery was still strangely to swim against the current and come out of the water. Because of the pressure of the water that has pushed him down the river, Jeffery had some injuries on his shoulder and led, which made swimming very difficult for him.

Fortunately, after struggling for some time the water calm down a bit and Jeffrey managed to get himself out of the water.

The first thing Jeffery did after getting out of the water was to check the bag with him and ensured he did not lose the herbs. When he confirm this he felt relieved.

It was after this, that he realize that he was far away from where they had tied their horse. Due to his inability to swim against the water pressure he had been pushed to this part.

Luckily Jeffery was familiar with this part of the wood so he began to walk his way toward the palace, but with his injured leg, his moments were painful and slow. In the end, Jeffery had to find a stick to support himself.

He walked for an hour before he left the woods. If it was during the day, Jeffery would have found someone to lend a horse from but it was already last and Jeffery had to walk into the royal city a bit before finding an inn and getting himself a small carriage.

Usually, Jeffery shows his face even after Sebastian took off her mask, but today, Jeffery had to take off his helmet before going into the water. He was afaird that if he was to heave he will drown.

"I need the horse," Jeffery was polite to the man who was tiring his horse, He seems he wanted to spend the night here.

"Do you have enough gold coins to use my horse?" The man did not take Jeffery seriously because of his look.

At this moment Jeffery looked like a beggar, his could was socked with water and he supported himself with a stick.

"I am asking the horse in the name of the king," Jeffery said.. Of course, he had no money with him.
