Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Jeffery had walked out to the garden when the maid who was supposed to take care of the Princess need came to get more tea.

He learned from her about the ladies' visit so he had come outside knowing what kind of people lady Catherine and Lady Vera.

To his surprise, Ellen seems to be a sharp tongue too so he remained in the corner and watch the show

He was quite surprised when he heard lady Catherine insult the crown prince so boldly. She sure had a death wish but he chooses to keep quiet and wait for Ellen's reaction.

The princess has been confidently flaunting the prince so he just thought to keep watching her.

Ellen hearing lady Catherine's word gave her a small smirk before elegantly standing up. "Ladies, I must excuse myself as I would not be unable to accompany you any longer," Ellen said.

A smile was playing on her like, she did not seem offended or angry by lady Catherine's words. The smile on her face was too pure and sweet. Too shining that it made the ladies more enraged.

Lady Catherine gave her a victory smile, in her mind, she had finally shut Ellen up. If she could she would have given herself, a pat on the back. In lady Catherine's mind, Ellen's smile was fake.

Lady Vera also felt the same way but she could never insult the prince. She knew the penalty that comes with that and her father has taught her to be careful with her words especially when she was around the Royal family.

That did not mean she was not happy to watch Ellen leave her tail between her legs in her mind.

"you should not have said that," Princess Diana said as soon as Ellen was gone.

"Oh please not all of us are from a ruined kingdom like you," lady Catherine snap.

"Then you should have known that you would lose your head for saying such a thing about the crown prince," Princess Diana said.

"What's the point, she is just a stupid Princess like you. She knows nothing about the ways of Avalo," Lady Catherine click her tongue.

"Maybe she does not, but the maid does and so does Jeffrey," Princess Diana said looking at the three figures whose back has become smaller.

"What Jeffery? you must be seeing things. The crown prince never goes to war without Jeffery. Do you think that Jeffrey would have stayed quiet after I insult the crown prince?" Lady Catherine asked. Every member of the family knows Jeffery. He is known because of his unique dress sense. No one could really tell what his face looked like but he was known as the prince's right-hand man.

He was strong and capable and a lot of the soldiers feared and respected him.

"For the sake of your head, I pray my eyes were really seeing things," princess Diana replied. She did not bother to argue that she was sure the main was Jeffrey. It was not her business if lady Catherine was ready to lose her head. She already plans to save her head.

The two ladies with her we're both proud and stupid. She already made a plan in her head to save herself and possibly get a new ally. She did not consider this a betrayal after all lady vera and Lady Catherine never treated her as a friend. Moreover, princess Ellen was just like her, married into a strange land for the sake of peace.

Meanwhile, Ellen was making her plans with Jeffrey and the maid Grater.

"You highness are you going to let go of lady Catherine after she insults the prince. I mean she should lose her head for saying that," the maid Grater said.

All the servants that work under the prince were loyal to him. It was born out of how nice he could be to people that we're loyal to him. They knew he would destroy without looking back.

Ellen smiled and turn to Jeffrey, "How fast can you spread a rumor?" Ellen asked.

"How wide will you want the rumor to spread?" Jeffery asked.

"The entire kingdom but I want it to start as a whisper between servants and commerce, Ellen replied. A smile still playing on her lips. For some reason, she felt she was acting like Regina. But will you blame her? the woman was the one that raised her.

Shaking her head, she remained herself that she was nothing like Regina.

"One night, your highness," Jeffrey answered. Ellen nodded her head in understanding. Although she was not sure if the prince will approve of her plan so she paused to ask Jeffrey.

"Do you think my husband will be angry if I cause some problems in the royal family?" Ellen asked. She was not scared of causing trouble as long as the crown prince approves of it.

Jeffrey's jaw dropped. For some reason, he thought he was now talking to the prince. He alone knew how much the crown prince enjoys causing trouble for his family. He was sure as hell that the prince will applause her if she causes problems in the family especially if this problem was related to Julia and lord Thompson. But he could not tell her that, so he cleared his that.

"I am sure his highness will understand," Jeffrey said. This was all Ellen needed. She was well aware of the bad blood between the brothers and she just wanted to help her husband destroy one of them.

"Perfect, the only thing people get to talk about is that lady Catherine, lady Vera and Princess Diana have visited our quarter today and insult the curse prince."

"You must make it sound as if lady Catherine insulted and bully me. I could no longer take the insult so I wanted into my room lock my door and refuse to eat dinner.'

"You should also spread the fact that the king was aware of this but did nothing because these ladies are the daughter of the noble," Ellen said her smile becoming sweeter.

"Your Highness, don't you think getting the king involved in this rumor will be dangerous?" Jeffrey asked. Why was he beginning to think that the couple thinks alike?

"Of course not, tell me how else will you get the king's interest in a baseless rumor without the involvement of his name?" Ellen asked with a smirk.

Jeffery nodded his head in understanding. Ahh! The princess is smart indeed. If he was in her shoe he would have gone straight to complain but Ellen did not do that. She acted like she has been defeated and lunch a more effective counterattack.

Jeffrey unconsciously shivers in fear, he wonders what the couple will do if they combine effort. One was strong and the other smart and cunning. He felt so happy and could not wait to share this event with the prince.
