Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

Chapter 85 - War For The Throne

"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. Prince Williams looked at her and wondered why his mother had not picked her to be his Queen.

"Do you need help with something, your highness," she asked becoming uncomfortable with the way he was looking at her. If it were to be any person she did outright tell him to stop looking and go his way.

Although her words were polite her tone said quite the opposite. 

"No," Prince William shook his head and excuse himself.

" you have met the lady from the Yancey family?" Queen Regina asked seeing that her son was in a daze.

"Hmm, she is beautiful and confident. She kind of reminds me of Ellen. Someone like that is who I need to be by my side," Prince William said.

"Don't be stupid, you already went after the girl from the Zorander. Going after the one from Yancey would only make you lose both," Queen Regina snapped. Her mood was ruined by the mention of Ellen's name.

"Why? Jane just told me that the Yancey family wants her to marry Joe," prince William informed.

"What? No way. I want Ema married to Joe Yancey." Queen Regina ball her hand. This was all the king's fault. If he had listened to her when she went over to discuss getting Ema married then everything would have played out perfectly.

" What are you saying mum, if the lady from the Zorander family marries Joe Yancey then I get to marry his sister," the prince reason.

"Can you even hear the words I am saying? Joe Yancey is the most outstanding man in the kingdom. I want him married to my daughter," Queen Regina said in a final tone.

"I hear you mum, Jane already rejected the proposal. She said she was here to pass a piece of important information and she needed our words on some things," Prince William finally stated the reason he was there.

"Oh, she is still here?" Queen Regina asked.

"Yes mother, would you like to see her or should I just tell her you are busy? " the prince asked.

"No, I will see her. She has to know that this marriage is something I support. Who knows if she would change her mind and marry my future son-in-law," Queen Regina said and stood up to her feet.

Prince Williams did the same and lead the way to where Jane was waiting patiently. She was already thinking that the prince might have forgotten all about her. 

" your highness, " Jane bowed to great the Queen who just walked in.

Queen Regina flashed a beautiful smile before elegantly taking her seat. "sit," Queen Regina gestured for her to seat down.

Jane nodded her head and did as was instructed. A maid walked in shortly after to serve them some tea. 

"My son said you had some important information to tell me, " the Queen asked with a beautiful smile on her lips.

"Yes, your highness but I can't tell it to you yet until I have your words that prince William will take me as his Queen when the time comes," Jane said. She looked at the mother and son with so much confidence.

The mother and son glanced at each other. "You seem to have a lot of confidence to demand that. What makes you think I would agree just to get some important information," the Queen raised her brows irritated by her demand.

" Not even if my information has something to do with the fact that Prince William will not be the next king? " she asked. Queen Regina did not miss the mint in her eyes that told her that Jane was serious.

"What nonsense are you blabbing. I am the crown prince of Bozoa," prince William snapped immediately. Jane gave him a grin. "you are not the crown prince," Jane replied.

"What nonsense are you saying? " Queen Regina roared in an attempt to scare the words out of Jane. But the young lady only smiled. She could see the desperation in the Queen's eyes to hear what she has to say. 

"explain yourself or I would have you thrown in prison," prince William threatened. 

"Then I ask you to do that your highness, at least that way I could stand in the presence of the entire court and repeat the words I just say. That way the whole court..." Jane stop. "Wait! The whole courts already know. I mean the entire kingdom would know, " Jane said completely unmoved by the prince threat. 

Queen Regina squeeze her son's hand. She had always been scared of a revolt. Moreover, she did not have a problem with Jane being the future Queen. Even if she hated Jane making demands she still gave in.

" you have my words, as long as my son seats on the throne as the king, you would be his Queen," Queen Regina said. 

Jane nodded her head. "can you tell us what you mean now?" the prince become impatient. 

"No, the Queen's words are important because she is your mother but you have not agreed yet, " she faces Prince William. She did not want to make a mistake. After all, a man's words were his bond.

Prince William looked at her, ever since he got close to her. She has always been meek but seeing her act so stubborn and determined to get what she wants made him feel happy. Instead of been angry at her. He wanted his woman strong like his mother, not some pushover.

" you have my words. You did be my Queen when the time comes," He smiled at her. 

"My grandfather is against our marriage. He said I could marry anyone else but you. He even threatened to throw me out of the family if I insisted but I stayed stubborn," Jane gave them a pitiful look. 

"I cried and told my father that I did rather kill myself. Grandfather could no longer take my tears so he explained to me why he did not want us together. He said the war for the throne was usually blood and that my aunty almost lost her life and he could not afford to put me in the same danger, " Jane explained. 

" What are you saying. I am the only son of the king there would be no war for the throne, " Prince William said. He was beginning to think that Jane was been stupid. 

" no my prince you are not," Jane said and the mother and son could not hide their surprise in her eyes. 

Prince William was about to argue but the Queen stopped him. If this information was coming from someone else she might have doubts since she knew the king only has eyes for one woman. But she was sure that lord Zorander would never lie to his granddaughter. 

"who is the other," she decides to ask.
