News about Richard''s wish spread in a matter of hours. Soon the whole of Bozoa royal city talks of nothing else. Richard had actually risked his life to bring a shark to the Yancey resident and even dare to give away a life-changing opportunity to get the ring that belongs to the royal family to Danny.
"He must be a fool," some of the young commoners said. They could not imagine why he would do something so stupid. This was his one ticket away from poverty yet he exchange it for something so small.
As for the noblemen they did not think he was a fool. They just felt he did the right thing. Danny was giving up her noble life to be with him, so he should naturally worship her like a god.
All the young ladies of Danny''s age were jealous, be it a commoner or a noble lady.
"So what if he gave her the ring that belongs to the royal family, does this make her royalty. At the end of the day she is marrying a commoner who will have to bow to whichever man I marry in the future," some of the noblewomen said this to cover up their jealousy.
No matter how outstanding the man they married is, he would never be able to afford that which belong to the royal family. So this simple gift made them angry. So they look for other ways to comfort themselves.
Jane especially gritted her teeth when she heard the news. She was the one about to marry the prince but she did not even have a single piece of jewelry that belonged to the Royal family. Although Prince William had visited her family bearing many gifts none of it could compare to that ring.
She felt really unhappy. If she could she would have gone to the Palace already and asked prince William about it.
"so what? He will bow to me in the future," she consoles herself. She especially plans to make things difficult for Richard in the future.
When the news got to princess Ellen she was happy for her brother.
She and Danny were around the same age, they were not close but she had a good impression of Danny. Since Ann already spoke to princess Ellen, she was aware of the fact that the Yancey and her grandfather had plans to seize the throne for her brother.
She was happy that her brother now had people to back him up. Her only regret was the fact that she will not get to see lady Regina''s ugly face when this happens.
"What are you thinking about?" prince Sébastien suddenly asked. She did not even realize that he had woken up. Earlier after eating the prince had freshened up and went to sleep. He had used a lot of his mental strength to keep the spell active on his men when they traveled. So he was tired and slept off.
Princess Ellen smiled. "What do you plan to do now? Will you fight your brother for the throne?" princess Ellen asked.
She could not share her real thought with the prince, Richard''s identity was still a secret and she could not mention it to the prince, in case lady Regina"s people were listening. She could only bring this up to distract him.
"Are you worried?" prince Sébastien asked in a calm voice.
"of course, is there a woman in my shoe who will not be worried?" princess Ellen asked. Her life was now tied to his, so she was worried.
"I have no plan''s to lead men to fight for the throne. It is mine, to begin with," prince Sébastien replied.
"if you will not fight how do you intend to take over the throne?" princess Ellen asked.
"I will kill Craig," prince Sébastien gave a short answer. Princess Ellen looked at him. She knew he may have his method but killing the king can not be so easy. Moreover, princess Ellen was sure that prince Craig will be very alert.
"Do not think too deeply, getting into the Palace is easy. The only reason why he is still breathing is because I want to accompany you during your stay here. When I become a king, it will be impossible for me to just live my kingdom to be here," prince Sébastien answered honestly.
Princess Ellen paused and looked at him, she did not even know what to say. He abandoned the fight for his throne to accompany her. How could she not like this man even if he was called the devil.
Prince Sébastien noticed the way the princess looked at him but he only smiled in return. He wanted to accompany her this period so they could become closer.
While this part of the Palace was filled with smiles, lady Regina was moving to her new quarters. She was very angry and there was only one person she could blame. "Princess Ellen"
"you should never have returned, I will embarrass you in front of everyone," she thought. It has been four days since she last came outside. True to the king''s words she was not allowed to meet anyone in those four days.
"mother," princess Ema was waiting for her at the entrance.
"What happened to your face?" Lady Regina noticed the redness. Although it was not so clear her right cheek was a bit red since king George had also slapped her that morning.
"she slapped me because I insulted her husband," princess Ema said.
Lady Regina gritted her teeth. "did you already report it to your father?" she wished she could go and find princess Ellen and give her a good beating.
"yes, but before father could say anything, the prince from Avalo arrived. He promised to seek justice for me if his wife was really at flute but I did not dare to insult him to his face," as princess Ema spoke she cried. She informed her mother of the king slapping her and scolding her. In her heart, all this was princess Ellen''s fault.
Lady Regina was angry but since she just lost favor in the sight of the king she knew she could not act too carelessly.
" clean your tears, mother will seek justice for you, " Lady Regina comforted her daughter. She did not believe that the prince truly cared for princess Ellen. Besides the more, he cared the more she would suffer.
Since she lost her title as the Queen of Bozoa, she wanted the princess to be thrown away by the prince, that is if he does not kill her. No man will stand quietly if his wife was seeing another.
A smile curved on her lips as she thought about it. In fact, this plan could kill two birds with one stone.. Lady Regina was satisfied with her plan.
