When Princess Ellen suddenly bump into someone she had lost her footing, luckily she fell forward into the person''s Arms. Princess Ellen did not need to look to know who it was. She could recognize his smell in the mist hundreds.


    "My prince," her voice was very low, it was as though she wanted no one except herself to hear her words but the prince heard her and he felt so happy.


    He felt a bit tired from his journey but being welcome like this made him over happy. "Does your face still hurt?" He asked the moment he let go of her so she could stand on her own.


    Princess Ellen shook her head. She did not realize how much she had missed him until this moment. Maybe that was why she wanted to look for him the minute she heard he has arrived.


    It was still three days to the crown prince ritual. He had come early. When prince Sebastian saw her nod, he still carefully looked at her face and only believe her when he did not see any sign of redness on her face.


    Princess Ema bit her lips when she saw this interaction. The crown prince of Avalo was said to be heartless, but why did he act like a gentleman to her sister.


    When he asked about the princess''s face his voice was not low so the father and daughter heard him. King George also notice the way he looked at her to be certain, this made him happy. If the prince at least cared for her a little he could rest assured that his daughter will be fine.


    "Your majesty," Prince Sebastian nodded his head at the king after stepping into the study room.  His Voice was very respectful. To prince Sebastian, the man before him was his sunshine father so he deserves his respect.


    King George acknowledge him with a nod. "My condolence," king George said. The King of Avalo had died recently.


    Prince Sebastian only nodded his head, he did not seem to be affected by his father''s death. King George knew that prince Sebastian was not feared by many because he was the son of the king. It was because he had the ability.


    Princess Ema was annoyed that her father and the other people treated her as if she was air. A few days back the king was so angry because princess Ellen''s face was red. Why was he acting so indifferent now that she was in such a state?


    She was the king''s favorite and she panic that princess Ellen would steal that from her, so she started sobbing quietly to gain the attention of the people in the room.


    As expected they all turned to look at the sobbing princess. Prince Sébastien had noticed her the minute he walked in but he did not spare her a glance but now that she was seeking attention he noticed the redness in her side cheek.


    "What is the matter? Why are you crying all of a sudden without a cause?" princess Ellen asked. She could guess that princess Ema was trying to make the king punish her. Too bad the king could only scold her.


    "sister how can you act so innocent after how you treated me last night," princess Ema still crying.


    "What did I do? You were in trance and continued crying about how you wanted to die. I had to slap you to wake you up from your stupor. Tell me, would you have preferred I throw you out of the window?" when prince Ellen spoke her voice was flat.


    Princess Ema was so angry when she heard what princess Ellen said. How could she twist words so easily.  " you... " she roared pointing a finger at princess Ellen. But at this point, prince Sébastien asked a question that shocked everyone.


    " Does your hand hurt?" he asked as he took the princess''s hands to check. He did not want her hands to turn red because she hit someone.


    King George and princess Ema were rendered speechless. What kind of thinking was this? Princess Ellen had slapped someone but the prince was worried about her hand.


    Princess Ellen just looked at him. Her throat was tried. She did not even know how to react. When prince Sébastien saw that the princess just looked at him, he turned to King George.


    "your majesty, your daughter has accused my wife falsely. Look her hand has even become red because she was trying to save your daughter. Instead of a thank you, she is shouting at her. Does my wife look like her maid?" prince Sébastien asked.


    "prince.." king George was confused on how to address him.


    "prince Sébastien," princess Ellen help him out.


    "your wife is her sister and there seems to be a misunderstanding," king George said.


    "What are you saying father, she is the one twisting words. I was fine when she hit me because I called.." princess Ema was about to repeat her words last night but the king suddenly slapped her.


    It was the first time he was raising his hand on any of his children. Although he had scolded and punished princess Ellen many times he never hit her.


    " Do you know that I am still the king and you father? Is this how we raised you. To think that you will raise your voice at me," King George''s voice was loud but one can tell that his actions were deliberate. Someone as smart as prince Sébastien could tell that the king was desperate to stop the words that were about to come out of her mouth.


    Princess Ellen was surprised, although her father will occasionally get angry he was never the type to use his hands.


    "princess Ema, since you believe that, there was no misunderstanding, tell me what happened and if my wife is guilty I will definitely compensate you with whatever you want," prince Sébastien said. He did not know what happened but he had read the report sent by One, so he was convinced that this princess and her mother were the ones picking on his wife.


    When Ema heard this her face suddenly light up. it turns out that the cursed prince himself will be the one to give her justice. She was very pleased with it that she turned her attention to the prince and started narrating what had happened the previous night...


    When she got to the point when she had insulted the prince, the light in her eyes suddenly disappeared. She finally understood why her father had hit her to shut her mouth.


    No matter what she was not stupid enough to insult the prince to his face. The man was not someone princess Ema or Bozoa could afford to offend.


    "father is right it was just a misunderstanding between sisters. I apologize," princess Ema smartly avoids putting herself in a difficult position.


    Prince Sébastien raised her brows. "prince Sébastien you must be tired from your journey, Ellen please bring him to the dining hall to eat," King George tried his best to change the topic.


    "yes father, let''s go," princess Ellen started leading the way. She did not want to put her father in a difficult position. She knew how much he like Ema. Besides she felt satisfied with the slap that Ema received.


    Seeing that princess Ellen did not take what happened to heart, prince Sébastien decided to let whatever happen to go.


    "you should watch your words in the future," King George scold.


    "I am sorry father," princess Ema bowed. She did not know why things had turned out like this, but she did not want to put herself at disadvantage.


    This did not mean the princess Ema did not have plans to look for trouble with princess Ellen.
