All day long princess Ellen could not get the Queen''s words out of her mind. She had been too surprised to react. Of course, princess Ellen has simply nodded her head since she could not deny the Queen''s request.
It made sense for her to call her mother since she was married to her son but no she did not want to. Princess Ellen felt that her peaceful days in the Palace were over now that the Queen has set her eyes on her.
The thought made her so uncomfortable that she Bagan to think of how soon she got to take at least two days break and visit back home.
After dinner princess, Ellen no longer had the time to worry about the Queen''s words. She had taken her bath in her chamber and was ready to sleep when her maid remained her that she now had to share the prince''s chamber with him.
The day could not get any worse, prince Ellen stood before the prince''s chamber and knocked. She had gotten lucky in the morning when she bashed in, she did not dare push her luck.
"His highness is still in his study," a maid who heard Princess Ellen''s knock came over to inform her. This made her dilemma worst. She did not know if she should just walk in and wait for the prince to return.
"What if he comes in past midnight and I have fallen asleep? '' the princess wondered. She did not also dare to go inside and lay on the prince''s bed. Who knows if he would forget he now shares the chamber with her and chock her to death.
She had heard the man hated sharing his space. In the end, she decided to just see the prince and ask his permission. It was better if she did not act too carelessly. With this thought in mind princess Ellen walked over to the prince study, there was no one in the passage.
She walked directly to the door and was about to knock when she heard Jeffrey''s voice. She did not know what he was saying but hearing the word princess made her very curious.
She thought that maybe the prince was talking about her, so she naturally placed her head on the door. Hopefully to hear what was being discussed inside.
"Lady Catherine is behind it, it seems the little witch has started her revenge plans, and the first person she chooses is that princess from Tait," princess Ellen heard Jeffrey''s words.
"she is a bit too much, her stay here must be made uncomfortable. Planing something like this against another woman is a bit too much," prince Sébastien''s voice followed.
"Hmmm, should we stop her, I mean if this plan succeeded and the princess''s reputation is destroyed, Elliott might change his mind about leaving the Palace," princess Ellen heard Jeffrey''s voice again.
"leave it be," the prince said. Jeffery started saying other things that did not interest the princess. She moved aside the door and thought to knock again but she could not. What she heard just now shock her.
Although she was not sure of lady Catherine''s plans but she knew that something capable of ruining another''s image could not be so simple.
She thought of what she could do to help the princess. Maybe it was because they were both not from Avalo and she could understand what it feels like to marry the enemy that destroyed one''s home or it was because lady Catherine was also her enemy. As the saying goes an enemy of an enemy is a friend.
Princess Ellen immediately stepped away from the study and looked for Grater. "what can ruin a woman''s reputation easily in Avalo," she asked the woman.
Grater was surprised by the princess''s question. "the most common is finding her in bed with another man," Grater replied.
Hmm, her answer made sense to princess Ellen but it was impossible for Catherine to force princess Diana to lay with another man if she did not want to. Princess Ellen paused and looked at Grater.
" can something like that be arranged to humiliate another woman?" princess Ellen asked. She could not be so sure of how low lady Catherine might be willing to go to take her revenge.
"of course your highness. I have heard stories of a co-wife sending a man to another wife''s room if she got jealous of her. Of course, this will make the husband forsake the wife even if she used to be her favorite," Grater answered. She was not sure why the princess was asking this type of question.
" Can you help me send a message to princess Diana, no one must know it is from me? " princess Ellen asked. It will be very bad if a woman lost her reputation for a reason like this. A man forced himself on her and her husband throws her away thinking she had done it to him deliberately.
" you mean you want me to send a man to the princess room?" Grater misunderstood the princess. Ahh! She immediately made a vow not to be an enemy to the princess. Who knows how she would crush s maid like her.
Princess Ellen was surprised by her question. "what are you saying?" princess Ellen''s jaw dropped she would never do something so low. It was a bit too much in her opinion.
"Forgive me my princess, but I thought you wanted to teach the princess a lesson. What message do you want me to send across?" Grater asked in embracement. She should have known that the princess before her has the purest of heart.
"I do not know the details of it but I think someone has made such plans against the princess. This message must get to her directly. Who knows, the person planning to harm her might have bought one of the servants in her Quarters," prince Ellen said.
"leave it to me. I will pass the message," Grater happily bow her head and walked away from the princess. Before working in the crown prince Quarter her formal madam was kicked out of her husband''s house for a similar scheme. So Grater was happy to stop another woman from falling into such a trap.
Princess Ellen stood watching Grater''s back and hoped that she was able to warn princess Diana on time.
"Why are you not in bed yet?" princess Ellen heard the unmistakable voice of the prince and stiffed.
Prince Sébastien still had a lot to discuss with Jeffery but suddenly a knock from one disturbed their conversation. "The princess has been knocking on your chamber door, she even came here, but I guess she was too scared to knock," One delivered the message.
He heard two maids talking about the princess continues to knock on the prince''s door, so he decided to come and inform the prince since her safety was left in his hands.
Luckily when he got there princess Ellen had stopped listening and was about to knock on the door. One did not see anything wrong when the princess left without seeing the prince.
It was a known fact that the crown prince of Avalo was scary. Prince Sébastien immediately lost interest in whatever he was discussing with Jeffrey... His sunshine was looking for him and that was the most important thing for him.
"When did he get here?" princess Ellen asked herself.
