On the other side of the boutique, lady Regina had just arrived. It was indeed rare to see the Queen in a boutique that is not held in the Palace. A few people conclude that it was because of the marriage arrangement between her son and Jane.
The older one felt that it was because the Queen had been close to Agatha and so she must have shared a good relationship with her family.
Whatever her reason was, a few noblewomen went over to welcome the Queen. The news about what happened in the royal palace days back had not spread all over the kingdom so these people did not know she was no longer the Queen.
Even the few that heard of it thought that it might be a baseless rumor so they did not dare to talk about it.
When Lady Bridget noticed her, she decided to let go of her courtesy and welcome the royal guest that have arrived. Princess Ellen also saw lady Regina and her sister so she decided to follow lady Bridget.
"Your highness, it is an honor to have you here," Lady Bridget bowed to the mother and daughter. Rose repeated what her mother did and welcome the two.
"sister," princess Ema called to get Ellen''s attention.
"Lady Regina, I did not know you will still have the face to come out of the Palace," princess Ellen said. When she spoke it seems like she was trying to ask lady Regina something in a low voice but then her voice had been loud enough for people close by to her.
Gossip was something a lot of people like, especially if this piece of gossip have something to do with the royal family.
Lady Regina balled her fist. She was angry and felt like slapping the princess''s lips off but her face remain calm and gentle. She has managed to control her emotions for a very long time.
"What is sister saying, Mother came here today..." princess Ema realized that she was not aware of her mother''s reasons to be here.
"of course it was because I was close to Agatha, and so I knew lord Zack too, so I was here to congratulate him," Lady Regina help her daughter.
When Lady Bridget heard her reason she felt like rolling her eyes. Lawrence and Agatha did not share a close relationship. She felt that the Queen''s arrival had some secret motive but she did not expose her.
Princess Ellen also felt that the Queen will not go to a boutique for such a small reason, so she felt the woman was indeed up to something.
The group of people who were already hoping to learn something new about the royal family felt disappointed but they all naturally became curious. Princess Ellen had not referred to Regina as "mother or your highness but lady Regina" they were curious about the reason but they did not dare to ask.
The bouquet continued and more people arrived. On the surface, it felt like everything was going very smoothly but a lot of schemes were going on. Lady Regina was already making her move. She found someone to mix something into Ellen''s drink.
When the princess took the drink, she felt something was wrong but she was in a very good mood and drank it up. There was no unfamiliar smell, it was just that she felt it tasted a bit off.
After drinking the cup of wine Ellen decided not to have another sip, she knew she was not so brave to hold a strong drink. She stayed a little and soon began to feel uncomfortable, so she asked Jeffrey to accompany her home.
This was not what lady Regina had expected, she had forgotten to add the prince''s men in her plans. She thought that since princess Ellen had come with lord Zorander, then maybe he would advise her to take a rest but princess Ellen had left when she noticed she felt tired and sleepy.
When lord Zorander saw that the princess was leaving he asked Richard to accompany her. That night lord Zorander had plans of sleeping over at the new Zack resident.
He had spent all his life planning to move out of the Zorander resident but after the death of his wife, he did not see the need. He was happy to be able to guide his grandchildren.
Apart from Jane who would not listen to him, he was rested assured that his other grandchildren will live a peaceful life. He still worry a little for princess Ellen but there was little to nothing he could do.
Princess Ellen could tell something was wrong with her but she was not sure, as soon as she entered the carriage she became so sleepy that she could not keep her eyes open.
Luckily Richard was there to accompany her, so she rested her head on his shoulders and slept off.
When they arrived at the Palace, princess Ellen was still asleep. No matter what Richard and Jeffrey did she was not waking up. Richard offered to carry her back to her room but Jeffery disagree. The prince may be annoyed when he found out that another man carried his wife. Sometimes Jeffrey feels that the prince has lost all his rationality.
"something is wrong with the princess, she would never sleep like a log," Richard become worried. If not that he could still hear her even breathing he would have thought she was dead.
"The king''s wife, I noticed she has been keeping an eye on the princess all evening," Jeffery shared his thoughts.
It was obvious that she did something to the princess. When Richard thought of lady Regina he panicked. "maybe we should call a physician to see her. That lady never liked the princess and she may try to take her revenge because of what happened a few days ago," when Jeffery heard this he panic, he was just thinking of carrying her when prince Sébastien arrived.
One could tell from his look that he was not in a good mood. "What happened to her?" He asked.
"she is sleeping and will not wake up no matter how hard we try," Jeffery immediately told him what happened.
"I think lady Regina did something to her," Richard was very worried. When prince Sébastien saw him worried he frown his brows. Princess Ellen was his wife and it was his responsibility to worry about her.
Seeing other men worried about her irritates him a lot. " was he trying to convert his wife?" prince Sébastien thought.
If Richard was able to hear the prince thought he would have not known what to think.. How could someone be jealous of something so small? This prince must have lost his mind.
