Meanwhile, princess Ellen had finished eating her dinner. After she cut a glimpse of the prince that late morning after the battle of truth she had not seen him. In the last three days. He has been very busy, she was already asleep before she woke up. His morning kiss was what woke her up every morning but before she managed to open her lazy eyes he was already gone but this particular night, the princess made up her mind to wait for him.


    Ever since he told her the story about loving someone, and pointing her to the mirror, a small part of her told her that the prince was talking about her but she knew it was impossible.


    After thinking about the different possibilities she decided to wait up, this night and ask him about it. She felt a bit scared and did not have the courage but she knew that it was best to find out from him.


    She remembered one of the lessons her father had taught her when she was still younger. "it was dangerous to live by an assumption. It is always best to seek confirmation, in other to avoid any misunderstanding," at that time she was only eight years old and her father had just started to neglect her.


    So she had come to the conclusion that her father no longer want her. As a little child, she decided to run away from the Palace but luckily a guard noticed her sneaking away and brought her back.


    When her father found out that she tried to leave the Palace alone he was angry and he scolded her non-stop. Since she could not afford to take all the blame, so she told her father her reasons for acting the way she did.


    "I thought you did not want me anymore. You only have time for Ema and William so I decided to leave," she had told her father, who was about to lecture more about the danger of sneaking out of the Palace her.


    Her father had paused, he then apologized for neglecting her. He even blame it on his duties as a king, then he asked her to promise never to just assume but ask for confirmation.


    "yet, he always judges me with what the Queen said without hearing my side of the story," princess Ellen chuckle as she thought of the things that happened in the past. She could not help but wonder if the man truly stopped loving her at some point.


    She knew she would be very sad if she heard of her father''s death. Even if her father neglected her later on, she still loved him. So she could not help but understand the way her mother acted.


    When the princess realized that she was already feeling sleepy, she decided to take a bath to keep herself awake. She believed that the prince will be busy the next morning which made waiting upon him the best time to ask about her doubt.


    After the bath, she felt awake, she kept waiting but the prince did not return. After going to take her going to wash her face twice, she decided to read a book to keep her company. She read for hours but the prince did not return. Her body become tired, so she walked over to the window and lookout. She was surprised to see the ray of light. "it morning," she whispered to herself.


    "Could it be that he went to meet with his mistress or lover while I waited all night?" princess Ellen thought. Although the prince had said he did not have a lover the last time, it did not mean she believe him.


    This thought made her throat bitter. She immediately push back the thought. She could not even think about it too much because her body already felt too tired for staying up. So she climb into the bed and slept off.


    Meanwhile, Prince Sébastien was accompanied by the twenty, except for One who still needed to protect One, and Jeffrey, who needed to train the other men. Prince Sébastien in the company of his mother was on the way to her kingdom.


    Queen magret had tortured General Thompson to her heart content the previous day. She was in a very good mood as she made this journey. Years ago she had thought she would visit her father with her husband but things did not go as planned.


    Now that she had cut off all the figures of the man who stabbed him, she felt ready to face her family after running away for so long. Her only regret was not being able to accompany her father during his last days.


    She had to sneak into his burial ceremony as she was too ashamed to face him back then. Her father had died ten years after she ran away. Now she felt confident to face her brother, she was also hoping to visit her father''s memorial and apologize for being a black sheep.


    They chose to travel at night to keep it secret from the king. Prince Sébastien for some reason unknown to him felt his heartache.  He felt as though he had forgotten something important. When the first ray of sunshine. Prince Sébastien and his men ran into some bandit. The prince knew this would happen. Over the last few years, there have been increasing reports of their activities.


    The prince was very happy to run into this group of people. Not only was he able to set free, the innocent captive, he also used one of them to perform his morning ritual.


    After performing his morning ritual, he finally realized what he has forgotten. His sunshine, he needed to get a kiss from her every morning. Now that she was back in the Palace he missed her so dearly. Not just that, He realized that his lies will be exposed. So to prevent that from happening, he immediately sent a message to Jeffrey.


    "is everything Okay," Queen magret asked. She had been the only one who dared to seek out her son when he was gone longer than expected.


    "your brother is an old fox. Your family seems to be very good, with scheme and tricks," prince Sébastien decides to discuss more important things other than his private affair.


    When he had attacked the bandits, he had asked his men to spare the bandit leader. He wanted to use him for his morning ritual and also get information about the group and their operation.


    "What do you mean?" Queen magret asked. Her face was calm but she could already guess it will not be something so simple.


    "over the last five years, more bandit has been found in the brushes. Kidnapping people, mostly male children. Does who were at training age. Guess who is behind it," prince Sébastien asked.


    "My brother, he is secretly creating an Amy," Queen magret answered.


    "you know him well," prince Sébastien nodded his head. "it is easy to guess, the four great kingdoms will not keep their hands folded forever. It is natural for them to want to fight back at some point," Queen magret said.


    "hmm, not just that. They managed to buy three of the king''s son over," prince Sébastien said.


    "ahh? Treason is in the blood of their father, do you find it surprising that they have inherited it," Queen magret rolled her eyes.


    "Mother, I do not care about them being blood-related to me, I will kill them," prince Sébastien informed her.


    "Go ahead, they have committed a crime, they should pay for it," Queen magret grinned. The only reason why she had never attacked the king''s children was that she considered them innocent of their father''s actions. If not that she still had a little kindness left, she would have long whip out his descendent.


    " Tell me, which one of them refused to join, if he really refused why did he not report?" Queen magret asked.


    "The fourth prince, he was fed poison after his refusal. So his wife went and negotiated with her cousin who is the new king of Sham. He will be giving the antidote, in exchange, he will not report what was going on but he will also not help in the plan," prince Sébastien told his mother all that he had learned.


    Queen magret nodded her head. She did not feel angry at the fourth prince. Anyone in his situation will do the same.. Besides, the king of Sham will definitely check all the reports he sent, so even if he tries to send a message across he would have died for nothing.
