Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

"who is the other," Queen Regina asked. 

"Grandfather did not say, he told me that most members of the Royal Council are in search for him since they do not consider prince William fit for the throne. Moreover, it will be a sacrilege to crown him king, when his elder brother, the real crown prince is still breathing, " Jane said. 

She watched the expression of the mother and son get alert. Of course, he could never be crown king, if his brother is still alive and in Bozao kingdom. 

" What else do you know? "  Queen Regina asked.

" That is all I know, " Jane replied.

Queen Regina looked at the young lady before her. The king could not have laid with another woman when Queen Agatha was still alive. He loved her too much to do that. 

She also put her eyes on the king after he stopped visiting her Bed Chamber but it seems the man became a monk Wait that's beside the point. 

The king somehow had a son, that is older than Williams dose that means he laid with another woman while Agatha was still alive? " Queen Regina asked herself. She knew she should be upset about this information but a smile crossed her face.

She was happy to learn that the king was not faithful to Agatha like she has always thought. This really warmed her heart.

The Queen got up, she was not going to let anyone steal what rightfully belonged to her Son. "Williams you should see your feature wife out. I will talk to your father about making this engagement known to all," Regina said before walking out of the room.

She believes every word Jane has said because she was close to Agatha and she knew first hand how lord Zorander would protect his children. Now all she needed to do was find the said son, before the Royal council. She needed him dead.

Meanwhile, King George was out in the training ground watching Richard fight with two opponents. He could not hide the pride in his eyes. Indeed Richard would be a cable king. 

King George has made up his mind to accept him as his son and hand over his birthright. The only reason why he was yet to make a move was the fact that he wanted to teach Richard to protect himself. 

He had been teaching him about matters that concern the kingdom and asked him his opinion on some matter. 

He was impressed by the young man's knowledge. Richard was a lover of books and since he stayed in the place with his mum, he did sneak into the Royal Library and Read lots of books and scrolls.

The kind was still looking at Richard with pride when one of the eyes he put on the Queen came to give him a report. 

"your majesty, the prince and Queen had a guest today," the man made the report. Seeing that the king nodded his head the man continued.

"she is the young miss of the Zorander family. She told the queen that her grandfather told her that you had another son. She claimed that he disagree to allow marry prince William," the man explained.

"When was this?" the king asked. His eyes still rested on Richard.

"A while back your Majesty," the man answered.

"Umm, continue to keep an eye on her, " the king dismissed him with his hand." it seems I have to fast forward my plans, " King George mused in his head.

He had left the Queen to keep living as she pleased because he did not have the time to deal with her. He had a lot of state matters to deal with. 

He did be making his first move in two days, he wanted to make sure that he gave the Queen a slow and painful punishment. He was never going to confront her about her behavior toward Ellen. He wanted her to suffer not knowing why or how.

He looked at Richard one more time and took a deep breath. He had been proponing asking Ann about his birth. He was too scared to learn the truth about betraying the vow he made to his wife. 

He took another deep breath. He could no longer wait now that the Queen already has a hint. He had to find out and ensure to keep the Queen in the dark. 

He walked away from the training field and saw William walking in at that same time. 

"father," Prince William bowed his head.

"Son, don't you think you are a bit late. Others have been training since the first light of the day," King George scold him.

"I apologize, father," King George shook his head and walked away. Now he wondered if things would have been different.

If ever he knew that he had a son like Richard when his wife died he would never have married Regina. He felt so guilty about how he treated Ellen. He just thought to make her strong. 

He could not explain why he did not realize that the Queen was two-faced earlier. Perhaps if Ellen has learned the truth on time, she might have opened up, he thought.

With a deep sigh, he walked into his study and asked his guard to call him Ann. 

He needed to face the truth and move on. Ann arrived a few moments later. "Your majesty," she bowed her head after taking a step into the study.

King George nodded his head. "Tim shut the door, I do not want to be disturbed," he ordered. Tim did as was told. He took two-step away from the door knowing that the king did not want him listening to the conversation inside.

King George looked at the woman before him, he could not even remember seeing her if not for the incident at the Royal Court recently. 

He could not wrap his head around the fact that he laid with her.

A.hum, he cleared his throat. "Tell me who put you up to lying against princess Ellen.?" he asked. Even though he was sure what her answer would be he wished his assumption was wrong.

Ann bowed her head, she was surprised that the king brought up the issue again. 

Ann, went on her knee "it was her highness., Queen Regina," she answered honestly she did not know if the king would believe her but she decided to tell him the truth.

King George balled his hand into a fist but his face remains calm. He had expected that answered, yet he felt like his breath was knocked out. For a person with pride, it hurt to have been wrong about something for the last years.

"Tell me how did you end up with my son?" king George asked. He could not think of a better way to put his question.
