Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Ellen breath a sigh of relief seeing his face returned to neutral. 

"I did not have any such plans. My journey down to samor had been urgent that I forget to pack something comfortable to sleep in. My dress was too heavy and uncomfortable to sleep in, that is why I Sept in my inner garment. I apologize if I cause the prince any discomfort, " Princess Ellen said in a single breath. She continued to explain but she did not even realize that the prince she was talking to could not even hear her.

He was only making her explain herself to keep them together.

" You expect me to believe that?" the prince raised his brow when she was done speaking. Princess Ellen was not surprised that he did not believe her. What made her feel uncomfortable was the way he was starring at her.

"Your highness," they heard the voice of Jeffery outside the tent again. Saving princess Ellen from the prince Piercing gaze.

Prince Sébastien withdraw his gaze from Ellen and wore his mask. His actions were smooth. Princess Ellen found herself liking the way he moved and carried himself with grace effortlessly. 'Why do you look so perfect in my eyes," she wondered within herself.

Prince Sébastien walked over to Her, he said nothing before pulling the sheet off the bed and wrapped it around her.

"Enter, "  prince Sébastien said while his gaze fell on Ellen's lips. Jeffrey stepped in and was surprised at the sight that welcomes him.

The prince and princess were standing so close starring at each other and totally ignored his presence.

" why ask me in? " Jeffery mentally complains. Not that he dared to voice out his grievance.

"Your highness, " he bowed his head. He could only pray that the prince would not have his head for disturbing him for Whatever it was he was going to do to the princess. 

Sébastien moved his gaze from the princess and looked at Jeffery who still had his head bowed.

A..hem, The prince's cleared his throat.

He had not meant to stare at the princess so much. He just wanted to have a short glance at her one last time before his morning ritual. But then their eyes locked and he felt as though he was drowning into her. He was not sure what he would have done next if Jeffery had not walked in.

"It is ready, " Jeffery said looking at the prince, who only nodded his head in response.

" There is a maid waiting at her highness tent to help with whatever you need, " Jeffrey spoke looking at the princess. After his encounter with the prince the previous night he knew the importance of him taking care of all her needs the next morning. 

"Thank you," the princess's voice came out as a whisper. She could not explain the sudden dryness in her throat. The closeness of the prince some moments ago had her head mess up and her heart racing.

The prince and Jeffery walked out without looking at the princess. Ellen held her breath until she was sure they were gone. Umm, she took in a deep breath. She could not explain why her heartbeat increased so much when the prince was close to her. She tightens the sheet around her body 

"What is happening to me?" she mused before walking out of the tent. Her tent was just a few feet away from the prince. She was surprised to meet a man on his knees at the entrance of her tent.

"Your highness, " the man bowed his head still on his knees. She recognizes him once he spoke.

She was surprised to meet him there and on his knees. She noticed he treated her with a little more respect. "what could have lead to this?" princess Ellen asked herself. 

One gritted his teeth secretly but he needed to do this if he still wanted to keep his head and his place with the prince. He had walked over to the princess tent first thing after waking up that morning but he leaned from the maid that she had not slept in her tent. 

Now seeing her stepping out of the prince's tent with a sheet over her body, he could only imagine what might have happened between the two. 

No, that was none of his concern. Why on earth did the prince trust her enough to let her share his tent. What if she has other a gender? " he felt like matching over to the prince and giving him a good lecture about his careless decision but he knew he could only do that in his head. 

" What do you want?" Her cold voice snap's One out of his thought. 

" I am here to apologize for my actions yesterday. I had no right to question your highness," One said.

Princess Ellen shook her head. She could tell he was not sincere with his apology.

"Why apologize if you don't mean it," princess Ellen asked. Before One could think of an answer Ellen was already inside her tent.

"Dam that princess,  she is just too full of herself. She must have done something to fool his highness and Jeffrey. One cursed in frustration. He could not believe that he did all that for nothing. How could she even tell he was not honest. He had gone as far as bending the knees.

"she must be a witch," a voice chimed in, in his head. Yes, that's right. That will explain why she easily charms the prince and Jeffery. He could tell his other brothers were also getting charmed. One smiled convinced by his own conclusions. 

"I must warn the prince and Jeffery," he made up his mind and started walking towards where he could find them but stopped when he realized they would not believe him without evidence. Moreover, they were already charmed and might kill him. 

" I must find evidence and a way to set them free from her charms, ' he made up his mind. 

Ellen on the other hand met that the maid in her tent already prepared her bath. 

"Your highness, " the maid bowed when she saw Ellen walk in.

"What is your name?" Ellen asked the young girl before her.

"Neil, your highness, " the maid replied.

"Wait outside," princess Ellen instructed.

"Yes your highness but we should be set to leave in one hour," the maid said. Ellen nodded her head and the maid stepped outside.

Princess Ellen dropped the sheet the prince had used in covering her before examing the dress on the bed. 

It was beautiful. She wonders who got her another dress. She could tell with a single look that it was her size.
