Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

When the lady heard this she felt more confident to scold Rose and Danny. When she first saw them standing together she realize that they were not people she recognize.

This lady was the daughter of one of the most repeated lords. Her name is Charlotte. Since she was in the highest social circle she naturally knew every family in that circle and so she was not afaird to offend the people before her. After she heard princess Ema's statements she becomes more confident.

"Let me tell you if you still want to have a peaceful life in Avalo You better apologize and not think of joining the contest," Charlotte said.

When Danny and Rose heard this they could not stop themselves from laughing. 

"Why should we apologize? You were the one who came here looking for trouble," Danny said when she was done laughing.

Ellen was only a few steps away, she did not want to get too close. She wanted to watch what the girl will do next.

Seeing that the two young ladies were not afraid she become angry. She felt that the two ladies were ignorant, so she turned to lady Bridget and Lawrence.

"I guess they are your children, should you just stand there and not correct them?" Charlotte asked.

"Correct them? What have they done wrong, you were the one that said the king's brother was not after beauty. Does this not mean that even if a person looks like a pig she still has the chance of being chosen?" Lady Bridget was not afaird to cause trouble as long as she was not wrong.

Charlotte wanted to argue back but her words were cut in her throat, she did not know that this family will be so sharp tongue.

Ahh! But she was unwilling to give up, Rose was too beautiful and with her joining the contest her chances will become smaller. To her, the only person she will be willing to lose to was Vera. She could not stomach losing to a person whose social status was lower than her.

So just like that, she began to cry, "why will you call me a pig,'' she sobbed 

Lady Bridget and her daughter were surprised, one moment she acted like a tiger and once she saw that she could not win she started crying.

Just as Charlotte started crying a maid ran over. " my lady what is the matter?" The maid acted in concern.

"These people are stepping all over me calling me a pig," Charlotte, cried.

"Ahh! Your ability to change the narrative is excellent," lady Danny mocked. When the maid saw that her lady was been ridiculed. She could not stand it, hence she went to call lady Charlotte's mother, who is the madam of their household.

"Who dares to offend our household," lady Charlotte's voice was very loud. The maid already told her that the family was not among the top families in the kingdom so she was not afaird to support her daughter even if she was wrong.

"Tell me Charlotte who made you cry," the woman was making a big deal out of the situation. After all, she already noticed Rose and she knew that her daughter was no match for her if she competed to marry the king's uncle.

"They called me a pig," Charlotte said. When the woman heard this she turned to the people before her. She knew it was impossible for them to insult her daughter without any her daughter doing something but yet she took her daughter's words it 

Because the woman's voice has been loud a small group were already watching the drama. 

"This is why the palace should not be open for commoners," one lady said.

"Can you not use your eyes, from their clothes it is impossible for them to be commoners," another lady said. This two were sisters but they did not share the same mother.

They each liked to cause trouble for themselves. "So what if they are not commoners, they can not afford to offend Charlotte's family," the first last replied. 

This Similar conversation was going around the small group that growing in number.

"I will give you a chance to apologize and stay away from the contest tonight in exchange for not pushing this matter," Charlotte's mother said.

When Lawrence and the others heard this they were amazed. A fruit indeed does not fall far from its tree, this was the thought they all have.

"Why should we apologize, it's not our fault that her looks are comparable to that of a pig. You should be the one to apologize to the people here for giving birth to a daughter like this," lady Bridget step forward. There was no point to deny that they called the lady before them a pig 

She knew that she will leave Avalo tomorrow and these family no matter how powerful they are could not hurt them. Moreover, they did not do anything wrong why should they now to her because she wanted them to.

"You... Dare," Charlotte's mother pointed a finger but she was at a loss of what to say. Some of the smaller lords that have been stepped on by this pair of mother and daughter were happy to see someone dare to stand up to her.

"What is going on here?" Ellen decided to stop the drama, after all, it will not look good if she stayed and watch guests fight among themselves.

"Your highnesd, it is good that you are here, this family should be thrown out of the palace. They lack manners," Charlotte's mother spoke quickly.

Ellen cast a glance at the woman and daughter, this level of entitlement was disgusting.

"Which family are you from?" She asked still looking at the mother and daughter pair. In the past few days, she has learned about all the important families in Avalo.

"Mercutio family," Charlotte's mother answered with confidence.

"You are lady Mercutio?" Ellen asked. Indeed this family was respected, it was no wonder they did not hold back.

"Yes," Charlotte's mother answered with confidence.
