Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

"So in the end they will show you their true colors when I am not around. They might even scheme against you to get my favor. This way you will get to see their true characters and pick the right woman," lady Magret easily caught Ellen's point.

"So smart, as expected of my husband's mother," Ellen complimented her.

Lady Magret was speechless at Ellen's comment. There was something wrong with Ellen's statement. "I am the mother and he should get his Smartness from me not the other way round right?" Lady Magret asked herself.

"So what do you think about my plan?" Ellen ignored the sour face of lady Magret.

"Your plan is good, we will go with it," lady Magret has a smile on her face when she said this. She did not just accept this plan because it was a good way to pick a wife, she was also looking forward to Ellen suffering a little bit.

Her son said she was not allowed to cause trouble for Ellen, but if these ladies did it had nothing to do with her after all this was Ellen's suggestion.

After the discussion, lady Magret invite Ellen over to welcome the three ladies who arrived at the palace and were directed over to one of the quarters.

"Your highness," the three ladies bowed. They were all on their best behavior. No one of these ladies was willing to lose to the other.

Lady Magret smiled and took her seat. Ellen followed after.

"You are going to be staying here for a month. Each of you will be assigned a Royal maid to take care of you doing this period," lady Magret gave them all the rules of the palace.

The three ladies kept noting their heads and acting obedient. They smiled and acted politely to each other.

Lady Jessica was full-spirited, she wanted to marry the king's uncle to completely break away from the shadows of Vera.

"You are not allowed to fight among yourself. If anyone does something you do not like it should be reported to me and I will handle it. Although only one of you will be able to marry Ericson if you are well behaved during this time you will have the Royal Family recognition," lady Magret find speaking.

"Ahh! Mother, they are just going to pretend," Ellen rolled her eyes.

"Shut up, this has nothing to do with you. Do not forget your place. My son just maid you the Queen to push those women away," lady Magret scolded her in the presence of the three ladies.

Two of the ladies felt pleased that they have learned a royal secret. Only Jessica was not happy with the way lady Magret spoke to Ellen.

After all, Ellen was right, they could simply pretend to get to marry the king's uncle. Moreover, to her, Ellen was a light. First, it was Ellen that disqualified Vera giving her the chance to shine over her.

This morning before she came over, she heard that Vera had tried to seduce the king and The Queen has set her up with the good-for-nothing son from the sliow family.

This finally gave her a chance to be seen by their father. Since they were young all the daughters in the Carrero family had to live under the shadow of Vera. They can only have what Vera did not want, but yesterday was a turning point and it was all thanks to the queen.

It did not matter if the Queen did this for her(Jessica) but she benefited from it. Today her father had their family carriage send her to the palace for the first time. So Jessica saw Ellen as her savior and so she felt she was right. Even if Jessica thought this she did not dare voice it out.

"What if that is the reason, I am still the queen, you can not talk to me like that," Ellen replied. She gave off the air of a woman who refused to be a pushover.

Lady Magret gritted her teeth but did not say anything else. The three ladies watching the scene were amazed. It turned out that the royal family was just like any other family on the inside.

"Do you all understand the rules, lady Magret decided to treate Ellen like air. 

" yes your Highness," the ladies bowed.

"I will be in my way, Mother," Ellen did not act polite and lady Magret ignore her. Ellen did not seem to mind though because she walked out of the room gracefully.

Seeing this two of the girls began to plot in their minds. They believe that once they had won the lady magret favor they would be able to Marry the king's uncle. When that happens they will be the biggest winners.

When Lady Magret stepped out she saw Ellen waiting outside, she could not help rolling her eyes.

"Lady Magret I must commend your acting," Ellen was back to acting politely.

"I was not acting, to be honest, I am looking forward to seeing the dirty tricks those ladies will play on you," lady Magret replied.

"Ahh! You underestimate me, of course, I will not let myself suffer. It is a good thing that you were not acting cause my tongue always turns bitter when I call you mother," Ellen smiled before walking away. The ladies saw the two of them from the window.

Ellen and lady Magret's voice was low so they could not hear what they were saying but from their point of view, it looked like a heated argument between the two women.

Especially since Ellen walked away with a wicked smile will lady Magret's face darken. Of course, lady Magret was angry. She felt like Ellen has tricked her once more.

While the other two ladies were thinking about how they could take advantage of the situation, Jessica was thinking of how to stay clear of it.

No matter what the two people were members of the royal family and she could not afford to offend either of them. So her best option was to stay away and not get involved.

Even if Ellen had no real power she still had tricks off her sleeves. Jessica has witnessed how she dealt with her sister moreover age did not seem scared of the king's mother.. She will not be stupid and get involved.
