Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

" yes yor ma... She was about to affirm when she remembered that Richard told her about his meeting with lord Zorander.

Late last night Richard told her about receiving  a message from the lord Zorander asking him to see him on the straight street at night. Ann, bite her inner cheeks relaxing her mistake. 

" lord Zorander, your majesty. I don't know how he found out, but Richard said he had noticed his resembles with Queen Agatha," Ann replied.

King George nodded his head. It was like lord Zorander to not have his family fighting against each other. So it made perfect sense that he warned his granddaughter. King George made a mental note to speak to the lord Zorander about what his grand daughter has done.  The king nodded his head.

"Warn Richard, he must act carefully now. Regina already knows about his existence. I can't let her discover Richard before the right time,"

"Yes your majesty, " Ann nodded her head. She felt fear creeping into her already. Knowing how cruel the Queen was, she was sure the woman would try to kill her son.

"you can leave," king George waved his hand at her. He was amazed by how much she loved Richard. He was certain that she was not faking her care like the Queen.

He has been thinking of a way to hurt the Queen for her treatment to his daughter all the while. But seeing Ann, just now give him the perfect idea of what would really hurt the Queen and leave her wondering where she went wrong. 

The worst Kind of punishment is not knowing why you were been pushed. His king's lips curved into smile.

Everything the Queen thought she have, wold be taken away and she would have just one Question why?.

..... 

A tower in Avalo royal Palace. 

The couple woke up that morning, knowing that a possible death penalty was hanging on their neck. 

"you have to speak to your father before we arrive at the royal court today," prince Julia said. The maid's just walked out after helping them dress up that morning.

"I know that, I already told  the maid to send a message across to him," Lady Catherine replied before letting out small sigh escape her lips. She was feeling frustrated about the entire situation.

Julia noticed the look on her face. He knew she was feeling frustrated about the entire situation but he needed her to think about them when she spoke to her father. She was his one ticket out of his problem.

He wrapped his hands around her waist and kissed her cheeks. Everything will be fine, " he tried to sound confident.

" I hope so, the Queen is not easy to deal with. This is not just about the stupid princess anymore, " Lady Catherine reason..

" The Queen does not care about her son, everything will be fine," Prince Julia answered.

" How can you even say that? Did you see how the Queen acted yesterday. She feel that you have attacked her. Don't forget she said she is the one you would be facing today since she gave birth to him, " Lady Catherine reason. She could not understand why her husband was not seeing how complicated things have gotten.

" I know, but father does not really like the Queen. He has been close friends with your father and I am sure he would listen, " prince Julia said.

Lady Catherine was about to argue with him when a knock on their door shut her mouth.

Come in, " prince Julia responded.

A maid pushed the door opened and stood at the door. "The Queen ask you to join her for breakfast," the maid said.

Lady Catherine and prince Julia exchanged a glimpse. "we would join her shortly," prince Julia said.

The maid bowed her head before walking out of the room. "I told you she cares nothing about her son," Julia gave her a triumphant look.

Lady Catherine nodded her head and took in a deep breath in relief. She could not afford to have the Queen as enemies. It was a well known rumor that any of the king's wife's that challenged her ends up dead. She was not someone she would love to have as an Enemy.

The couple walked down hand in hand. A maid was waiting to lead them to the Queen. Four guards followed them quietly. This guards were not there to ensure their safety but to make sure they appear in the royal court that day. 

The Queen was seated graceful at the head of the table waiting for her guest. She knew that Lady Catherine will ask to speak to her father. So she decided to help lady Catherine herself if she acted reasonably. 

This was her way of ease her conscience about the pervious day incident. The Queen flashed a smile at the couple as the walked into the dinning room. 

"Your highness," they both bowed their head. Queen Margaret gave them a sweet smile and gesture for them to take their seat.

The maid walked over and served the food. Julia thought that the Queen was going to say something. Every since the crown prince became cursed, the Queen had treated him like a son. Surely she would not have him killed. He believed. 

They eat their breakfast quietly, the Queen made no attempt to speak. The couple eat their meal not daring to say anything. The Queen was neither acting sweaty like she did or coldly. Her expression was unreasonable. 

She looked like someone who wanted to do nothing else but eat their meal. These situations become uncomfortable for Lady Catherine. She felt scared. "what if the Queen decided to posion them?" she thought and her hand that was lifted towards her mouth stopped.

She did not want to die that way. She wanted to live long enough to seat on the throne and be a dress as the Queen. 

Queen Margaret looked her dirstion and notice her hand hanging on the air. 

"Are you okay, child,"  Queen Margaret asked.

Lady Catherine dropped her hand and nodded awkwardly. She felt really embarrassed. She had been so deep in thought that she did not realize that her hand was still hanging. 

"Are you sure," Queen Magreat asked. Her voice sounded nice and concern.

I am fine your highness, just worried a little, " she replied. She could not exactly accuse the Queen of trying to kill her when they were having the same food. Besides she had no evidence.

Queen Margaret nodded her head in understanding."I will feel the same way if I was in your shoes. The fear of losing everything one has can be quite a predicament," the Queen said.

They eat the rest of their breakfast without saying another word to each other. Lady Catherine was about to excuse herself with her husband when the Queen spoke. 

" Catherine, Can I have a word with you, privately? " the Queen asked.
