Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

"We needed to take him back to the camp. The dagger is laced with the venom of a Snake," Ellen said..

Jeffery hearing princess Ellen, gave the order to the men to carry the prince. A wooden stretcher was brought and the prince was lifted up into it and carried away by two men.

As they carried the prince back, Jeffery stopped the princess. "Can you help the prince?" Jeffery asked. He knew a lot of things about the prince and one of those things was the fact that the prince did not get affected by poisonous substances. So seeing the prince unconscious scared him.

"I can get the poison out. Luckily my teacher gave me the moonstone. He said it is can extract the poison if bitten by a snake. I guess it would work in a situation like this too," princess Ellen explained.

Jeffrey nodded his head and breath a sigh of relief, he would not have known what to do if the princess was not present. The prince had a lot of enemies and he was sure many of them would strike when he was down. Jeffery had gated the prince decision to marry princess Ellen, and rebel against his father, but Jeffery felt grateful for that decision now.

"I will need a few things, like freshly milked cow milk and some herb," Princess Ellen said as Jeffery helped her mount her horse.

"Just tell me what you need and I would make the arrangement," Jeffery replied. Although the prince was still in a poor condition, he was happy there was hope for the princes. He naturally had helped carried the prince and so he felt his ice-cold leg and it scared him.

Princess Ellen nodded her head happy that Jeffery was cooperating with her without asking questions. She was scared that her every move will be questioned and cause a lot of delays. His men did not trust her and she knew that.

The group soon left the scene and headed to Avalo camp. Where Ellen gave a list of herbs to Jeffery. Fortunately, most of the herbs needed were easily found in samor and so the men shared the list among themselves and each went towards the best direction to get what is required as soon as possible.

What they did not know while they were all busy trying to get the herb to save the prince was the shadow man who has been watching them since the early hour of the battle.

The man came out of his hiding after watching the prince's men ride in different directions. He concludes that the men were confused probably wanted to call on as much help as they could gather in the shortest time possible.

So with a satisfying smile, he walked away from the camp afraid that he would be noticed and killed. He needed to send a message to his master as soon as possible.

Once he walked a safe distance he pauses and decides to send the message.

(The Eagle is down. Not dead. It might take them some time to get help. They dont seem familiar with the venom.) The man wrote read the message before folding the paper and placed his seal on it.

After which he placed two of his middle figures into his mouth and blow a whistle to call his messager bird.

A black bird appeared a few minutes later and the man carefully tried the paper on its feathers. "Give this message to his majesty and his majesty only," he instructed the bird before letting it fly off.

The bird paused up and flap its wings twice as a sign that he understood the message. The man smiled before walking into Samor. He planned to stay within Avalo kingdom in order to gather as much information as possible.

Meanwhile, Ellen was cleaning the prince's injury on his back. She had a feeling there also might be something poisonous. After making sure the injury was clean Ellen got an ornament and applied it on the wound before covering it with a cloth.

Jeffrey returned with the fresh cow milk and Ellen collected it into an open bowl. She was a bit nervous since she had never really used the dark moonstone before. The grand physician in Boazo only explains the process to her when he handed over the stone to her after the war with Avalo.

Taking a deep breath Ellen took out the stone from her wooden box. Jeffery was now standing beside her in the tent. He was not standing there because did not trust her but because he was willing to provide any help or assistant that the princess will need.

Ellen slipped the stone into the cold milk. She waited. According to her teacher if the milk is fresh it will activate the stone to suck out the poision.

The only sign she could remember her teacher talk about was small bubbles. So she silently prayed that the process works. She was not if she got everything right.

She waited for a few minutes but could not see the bubbles. She felt scared. How on earth would she explain it if things did not go the way she planned. Jeffery noticed the worry in her gaze as she stared at the milk which has swallowed up the stone.

Ellen kept breathing in and out, she did not know how long she was going to wait. Just when she opened her mouth to ask for more milk, she noticed a little bubble at the center of the bowl. Princess Ellen breath a sigh of relief. Soon the bubbles become visible.

Jeffery watches closely as princess Ellen picked up the stone from the milk and gently placed it on the prince's right leg.

Ellen took a little knife and cut on the prince's right leg, just close to where he was stabbed with the knife. As blood bargain to split out, the princess placed the stone on it.

She pulled her hand back and seeing that the stone stayed suck to the leg like the teacher had said it would, Ellen was certain that everything will be fine.

So she sat on the chair and wait. "Now what?" Jeffery asked seeing Ellen taking her seat and looking calm and compose.

Princess Ellen turned to look at him. "Now we wait and let the stone do work," She replied.
