Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Meanwhile, Jane found her way to the Royal Palace and requested to meet the prince.

Prince William came over shortly to meet her. He had a smile on his face as he walked over to meet her.

He could hear his Mum's voice in his ear. "You have to be nice to her and treat her very well. Lord Zorander cares a lot about love in a marriage. otherwise, he would never approve of you marrying his granddaughter. You have to remember why you are doing this. You need the favor of the nobles if you will ever sit on your father's throne," she advises.

It is not that he did not like Jane, is just that the girl could act childish a lot.

"Your Highness," Jane got up from her seat and bowed to the prince when he was close to her.

"You don't have to be so formal with me, love. Trust me, if there were no many important matters for the king, we did be engaged already,"  prince Williams said in a nice and caring voice.

He could not understand why his mum had chosen her among the beautiful ladies in Bozoa.

"It's fine my prince. I actually came over to give you a piece of information. I know you say to keep our relationship a secret till the king approves of it, but I had to tell my family about it. Since the Yancey family came over to ask for my hand in marriage," Jane explained.

"What is so important that you think I should know?" Prince William asked His voice was laced with irritation

He felt that Jane was only looking for an excuse to see him. He did not even believe she could have anything important to say to him. Jane was so carried away with looking at his handsome face that she did not notice the hint of displeasure in his voice.  She would have babbled everything to him if she did not remember her mum asking her to ensure that she had the Queen and prince words, promising that she did be the next Queen.

"Is the Queen available?" Jane asked sweatily.

"What do you need the Queen for, love?" He questioned drawing his brows together.

"Well before I can say anything I need to have her words and yours. After all, I know that you did relate what I am about to tell you," Jane said ignoring the prince's displeased face.

Prince William looked at her, skeptical about letting her meet his mother. Because he thought it was going to be a waste of his mother's time but remembering his mother's words to always treated her right he decided to let her see the Queen.

"Come with me, I would check if the Queen is free," Prince William said. Jane followed behind him. she could feel her heartbeat increased. She felt she was been shameless to take a promise from the Queen when her engagement to the prince was not recognized yet.

Prince William leads her to the small receiving hall, close to the Queen's chamber. "Wait here, I would go check on mum," Prince William said before walking out of the hall.

He walked over to his mother's chamber. He knocks on the door and patiently with for her to let him in.

"Enter," Queen Regina said. She was seat elegantly and sipping her tea.

"Mother," prince William walked over and hugged his mother. 

"How are you doing, son," the Quen asked with a small smile on her face.

"I am doing fine mother. How is the most beautiful Queen in the entire twelve kingdoms doing?" Prince William asked with a smile. His hands were still holding on to her mother's arm like a child who was still taking milk from his mother.

Queen Regina smiled at his remark. Ever since Ellen left the kingdom the palace and the kingdom she has felt more at peace to her.

"Why are you here by this time of the day? I thought I told you to take your classes seriously?" The Queen scolded him. She understands the fact that if he did not work hard to become cable there might be a revolt after the king's death.

"I was on my way to the training ground when a guard came to inform me of Lady Jane's visit," Prince William replied.

"Oh, the lady from the zorander household?" She asked.

"Yes," the prince nodded his head. "She claims to have something important to tell the both of us. And she wants to have your word," Prince William said unable to hide the irritation in his voice.

"Don't be like this. The Zoranders are one of the strong households in this kingdom. You need that lady. She is the only heir in your generation, so I am certain her family would protect her," Queen Regina admonished seeing that her son was acting spoiled.

"But mother I am the prince, why do I have to go this out just to have her as my wife. She would be grateful that I am willing to make her my Queen," Prince Williams argues.

"Hmm, things do not work that way. The zorander household believes in the marriage of love and not alliances. after all, they are already strong on their own. But the Royal Family has to keep the kingdom together.  your father has the support of two strong households baking him when he took over the throne. which made his throne establish. You must do the same. Unless you want to lose your birthright, treated her right," Queen Regina replied.

"But mother, the Lady from the Yancey family is in not engaged. Why can't I go for her instead?" The prince asked he knew that the support of the Yancey was as good as that of the Zorander.

He could still remember his encounter with her a few days ago. He had gone to look for Jane at the daughters of the noble class but he could not find her.

So he chose to leave but then his eyes caught sight of a beautiful lady who was elegantly reading her book. 

The way her laches futters and her eyes rolled as she read drew him to her. He could not hold back his curiosity anymore so he decided to go and meet her. He was not sure who she was but one thing was sure, she was from a noble family if she was allowed into the gate.

A..hem he cleared his throat when he got to her. Danny heard the clearing of his throat raised her head. She looked even more beautiful when he looked at her.

"Your highness," Danny stood up and bend the knee for him, for courtesy's sake. Prince William did not miss her reluctant steer. Which made him more interested in having her.

"What is your name?" He demanded.

"I am Danny of house Yancey, your highest," Danny replied with a straight face. She seemed uninterested in the conversation with him. Unlike Jane who turned red like tomatoes the first time, he spoke to her.

Her unintended gaze made him more interested in her.
