A tower in Avalo royal place.

"All this happened because of you and your father," Julia snapped at his wife for the first time in their two years of marriage. He could not believe he was reduced to almost a prisoner just because of the father and daughter peer.

"How dare you? You went after that princess. I thought you said I was the only woman in your eyes. You liar and now you dare to blame me and father for this?" lady Catherine replied. She felt so disgusted by the man sharing a bed with her.

"Why are you blaming me. If you never went over to the crown prince's quarter yesterday we would not be here,"  Julia argued

Lady Catherine rolled her eyes at her husband's words. In their two years of marriage, lady Catherine has never felt so disgusted when sharing a bed with her husband but things were different after what she heard in the courtroom.

Even though she hates to admit the fact that princess Ellen was more beautiful than she was, she could still swallow that down her throat easily but having her husband go after her has completely broken her heart into a million pieces.

'How could he?'  She had done everything thing for him, yet he betrayed her love. She had been avoiding him since they were kept in the room. She did not want to speak to him and stayed as far away as possible but he chooses to her in bed when she decided to go to sleep. 'Si seamless,'

"You would not be sharing this bed with me?" Lady Catherine said. She felt so angry having to share a room with a lair like him. She wished they were back at their quarter, that way she would have completely avoided him just the way she wanted.

How dare he still have the courage to blame  me for our current situation, when every member of the nobles are now aware that he went after his sister-in-law?' Lady Catherine balled her fists. Even if they survive their current situation, she wondered how she was ever to show her face at the royal ball and other celebrations. He had completely humiliated her and made her a laughing stock among the upper class.

Prince Julia felt like choking her to death but he stopped himself knowing that only her father might be able to find a way to save them, while the king was busy with state matters.

"I thought you trusted me?" Prince Julia asked in a whisper. He knew that his only chance to escape the doom coming his way was to make her believe him.

Lady Catherine bites her lips. She was completely bought over by his looks. "It will be best if you tell me why you decide to approach that princess. I knew she was not lying. Or Do you take me for a fool?" Lady Catherine asked.

She believes Ellen was telling the truth since she was only but a stranger and would not dare accuse the prince falsely.

Prince Julia sigh. He knew if he continues to deny it, he would only annoy her more. "Yes,  I did approach the princess," he admits and watched as Lady Catherine tightens her hand into a fist.

"But it was not for the reason you suspect. That princess was smitten by my face. I saw the way she kept looking at me when we meet at the royal ball," Prince Julia narrated calmly. Of course, he was lying.  Princess Ellen did not spare him glace when they met.

He was the one completely smitten by her beauty and wondered why she ignored his charms. But he could not tell his wife that.. Lady Catherine losses her fist as she listens to her husband.

She partly believed him already since he was handsome and a lot of women fall for his looks. She was one of those smitten by it.

"So I approach her, to use her against my brother," Julia revealed. He did have plans to use her against his brother since he wanted to owe her to himself.

He was just like his father, who wants to go after any beauty they set eyes on. Lady Catherine nodded her head convinced by her husband's words.

"Everything would have gone as planned if my brother had not arrived at the wrong time. He must have threatened her to use what happened that night against us. This is why I asked you to stay away from the princess for the time being but you would not listen," Julia said.

Lady Catherine looked away from her husband feeling guilty about the situation. The prince had indeed warned her. It seems she had underestimated the Princess.

"What can we do now?" She asked.

"I don't know, maybe you should talk to your father and explain things to him. I am sure he would be able to come up with a way to save us," Julia said taking a seat on the bed.

Lady Catherine nodded her head. She was scared that she would die at such a young age and there was no one else to blame but Princess Ellen. Her blood boiled just thinking of her she fell perfectly into Ellen's plans.

Now that she thought of it, she realized that Ellen was targetting her the previous day. "Could it be that she was doing that because she had her eye on my husband?' She thought.

Lady Catherine made up her mind to give the princess the worst death possible once everything was sorted.

She also planned on taking her revenge on lady Vera and Princess Diana for betraying her in court. How could they? They had planned together to visit the Crown prince quarter and put Ellen in her place.

Who would have thought that those two will betray her the next minute? She was not going to forgive them. She was going to make sure she hurt them the worst way possible. She could only hope that her father would come up with a plan that will save her life in order to get her revenge.

Prince Julia watched the different emotions that pass through his wife's face before pulling her closer to himself.

"We should go to bed now so we can get up on time to speak to your father," Julia said. He was relieved seeing that his wife completely believed him. He knew his plans to escape will fail, but he was certain that the General would be able to save them since he was a close friend to the king.

Knowing his father Julia was sure that he would not even blink an eye to put him to death. After all, he still had two sins to replace the Crown Prince.
