The next morning.


    When princess Ellen woke up it was Grater and Ann that help her get ready. "what of what you promised last night," princess Ellen asked. She was in such a good mood to see the Queen grit her teeth in anger.


    "It is ready," Ann said and pointed at the bottle. She then uncovers the bottle and spreads a red-looking liquid in her hand. Then she places the Pam against the princess''s face and holds it. Grater was not sure what was going on. She quietly watch as Ann held on to the princess''s face.


    She could roughly guess that the princess was scheming against the Queen. Now that she thought about it she understood why the princess could be nice and scheming at the same time.


    If one had a pretentious person like the Queen, it was impossible not to learn how to be scheming. One will suffer a lot of losses.


    After more than five minutes Ann moved her hand. The red liquid has bled into the princess''s face and the spot was a little swollen.


    When Grater saw this she grabbed the princess plan. "I will never go against the princess," Grater suddenly said. Making the other two laugh.


    It was impossible for anyone to tell that what was in her face was fake. "Do not let anyone touch your face till you wash it later. So you will not have a rash," Ann warned.


    Princess Ellen looked at her face with a satisfied smile. "I need to get to the dining hall before the Queen. Hurry and finish my hair," princess Ellen asked. She could not hide the smile on her face.


    After Grater was done arranging her head. Grater and Ann walked with her to the dining hall.


    One was already waiting for her. " Your highness," He was about to bow his head when he noticed the princess''s face.


    "What happened to your face?" One was panicked. The price had said not to allow even a scratch on her.


    Princess Ellen smiled and shook her head. Anyone who saw her will believe she was trying to hide her face.


    "Please tell me, your highness. The prince will have my head if he sees this. I must give him a reasonable explanation," One asked. His heart was beating fast.


    Grater what happened to the princess," he turned to Grater when he noticed that Ellen was unwilling to answer.


    "Forgive me but the princess forbids me from saying anything," Grater lowered her head.


    "Do you want to lose your head? You have to tell me. I need to deed with it," One voice becomes louder.


    King George was also heading to the dining hall at this time and he heard what One has said.


    "What is going on?" king George asked.


    On seeing the king bowed. "Your majesty, the prince had put me in charge of the princess''s safety. When we came into your Palace last night the princess was fine. Look at her face. His Highness the crown prince of Avalo would need an explanation," One said.


    When he spoke king George looked at the princess''s face. It was indeed red and the fingerprints were clear. "Who dares to hit you?" king George was angry. He had never raised his hands on this daughter of his.


    "Forgive father but misunderstanding happen..." As Ellen spoke tears ran down her cheek. Lord Zorander was also going to join the king for breakfast so he was accompanied by Richard to the table.


    He did not know what had happened but seeing his granddaughter with tears and the mark on her face he was angry.


    Even Richard could not look at his sister. "it okay, calm down and speak," King George was about to pat her back but Ellen immediately dodge his hand with fear.


    "Any man is not allowed to touch you?" the prince''s words rang in her head but those that saw the princess''s action felt that she was scared of her father. So no matter how she was wrong she was too scared to speak out, scared that her father will still blame her and hit her.


    When One saw this he felt pity for her, if there was still any resentment left in his heart. This scene completely washed it away.


    Just then the Queen arrived with dark circles around her eyes. When princess Ellen saw her approaching she quickly took hold of Grater''s hand like a scared child.


    Everyone who saw this came to one single concussion. Although the princess did not argue with her of anything it was clear that in the entire Palace only the Queen would dare raise her hand against the princess.


    "You...?" the king roared surprising everybody. Even princess Ellen did not expect her father to scold the Queen in the presence of everybody.


    "What did you do to my daughter last night?" the king demanded. This was not the first time the Queen has seen the king lose his temper. king, George had not seen through the Queen he would have saved her face but now this woman disgusts him. He had clearly warned her to behave for the sake of others.


    Yet she dares hit the princess. He had deliberately said those words to her last. He wanted to see if this woman had any respect for his words.


    Meanwhile, Queen Regina was surprised by the king''s words so she naturally looked at the princess. When she face the princess, Ellen smiled but when the other people looked what she saw was fear.


    "Say something," King George commanded seeing that Queen was acting ignorantly. King George was impatient. He turned to Ann. "I left the princess under your care what happened,?" He asked.


    When Ann saw the reaction on the king''s face she was satisfied with the princess''s plan.


    "your majesty, I have left the princess under the Care of Grater, since I need to go back and make one of the princess''s favorite soups that she demanded but when I returned I found her crying and Grater consoling her. No matter how much I asked neither the princess nor Grater told me what happened, " Ann answered.


    Queen Regina felt as though she has been struck by lightning. Not only did princess Ellen insult her now she dare to change the narrative.


    " What do you mean? When I have heard of the princess visit. I was overjoyed and went to welcome her but instead, she pushed me away and said I should stop acting like her mother. That what else did I want after taking away her mother''s husband.


    " your majesty, you know I agreed to marry you because it was my friend''s dying wish. But she... Queen Regina clean her tears. " she insult me, calling me different names," Queen magret immediately changed the narrative.


    She had deliberately mentioned the marriage to remind the king that it was the wish of Queen Agatha. Knowing how Agatha was his weak point she believed she can turn the table.


    "You? You have only been back for one night and look at all the Drama you have caused. Is this how you have been disgracing the royal family of Bozoa? " princess Ema, who had just arrived with her brother scolded Ellen.


    She did not have the full details of what was happening she only heard her father scolding someone and she concluded that it was princess Ellen since the latter hang her head low, while her mother recount the version of what happened the previous night.


    "look how you made mother cry, even if she is not the woman who gave birth to you how can you make her cry so much. Look her eye is turned red and swallow," Ema spoke so righteously. In the past, she would often support her mother like this and princess Ellen would get scolded by the king.


    It was already a long time and these two were confident of their tricks. Ema hugged her mother trying to console her.


    The king looked at the mother and daughter peer in disgust. "is that why you dare to hit my daughter? You hit her because you could not take the truth? Now you are crying as if you have been wrong. If you missed her would you have welcomed her with a slap?" King George roared.  Before now he has always supported Queen Regina because he thought that she treated Ellen like a daughter. But after finding out that was a lie he did not see anything wrong with her.


    Queen Regina was speechless. "How did things become like this?"  Ema''s body shook she had never seen her father get this angry before but she was unwilling to allow her mother to be disgraced in such a place like this.


    "But father, Sisters words were hurtful how..." Ema was still speaking when her father cut her shoot.


    "who gave you the permission to speak?" king George asked in a harsh tone. He had wanted to ignore Ema scolding princess Ellen before, after all, it was natural for her to support her mother but how could she overstep her boundaries and try to talk back at her.


    Princess Ema pinned her lips. She knew that her father doted on her the most but when her mother pinch her, she realized that it was best she kept quiet.


    "Did you suddenly lose your tongue? Why did you dare lay your finger on her?" king George demanded.
