Meanwhile, princess Ellen and prince Sébastien have been in the royal library since the early hours of the morning. Princess Ellen helps him with the book he wants. They both sat down and read the books in their hand.
Princess Ellen looked at the prince and thought about his actions last night. After they decided to come to the library this morning. Princess Ellen had moved away from the prince.
She lay at the other end of the bed. No matter what prince Sébastien could tell that she was trying to stay away from him but why?.
He did not remember doing anything that should make the princess avoid him. In the last two days, they have slept close to each other. The more he thought about the more he felt something was wrong.
So he decided to smell himself, he wondered if he was smelling so badly that the princess chooses to stay at the edge of the bed. Forget about the fact that she was far away from him, she could easily fall off the bed.
Prince Sébastien could not bear to watch her fall but he did not notice anything wrong with his body smell. He inhale deeply again, this time he perceived the faint smell of a Stanger fragrance.
He was very smart in connecting the dot. The last time the princess had avoided him, it was because he smell like another woman when he returned to their bed-chamber.
When he went to meet Eva earlier, the latter has bump into him. At that time he was standing in a dark corner and he knew she must not have seen him.
Perhaps that was where the contact came from. Without saying anything, prince Sébastien got off the bed and walked into the bathroom.
He clear himself up and changed his clothes, then he smelled himself and felt satisfied when he did not perceive Eva''s scent anymore. Why will someone use something so strong? He vowed never to meet the woman and create more misunderstanding.
When he got back in bed he pulled Ellen closer to himself. "you are too close to the edge, you may fall," He said.
Princess Ellen did not refuse, she felt more at ease when he cleaned himself of that woman''s smell. She did not know why he did that but she felt satisfied.
She also thought of ways to keep the mistress away. She has heard stories of how wives and mistresses fight to impress their husband and be his favorite but she had no idea how she should do this.
Her father had not married many wive even if he did not love lady Regina. She thought about this all last night and while they were in the library she kept thinking about it.
"maybe if I did the things he likes, he would pay more attention to me?" princess Ellen thought but hell she did not even know the things he like.
"I should find the mistress and learn her skills," another thought came to her mind but she let it go too. There is no way the mistress will tell her secret to her. After thinking about it for a long time she decided to ask Catherine and Grater for help.
The two would be more experienced than her. Meanwhile, Prince Sébastien was also feeling uncomfortable. He felt that he has failed in getting the princess to like him. He also regrets his decision about telling her that he had a mistress.
After staying in the royal palace for a few days prince Sébastien learned that the king did not keep any mistress and has been loyal to princess Ellen''s mother to her death. Daughter always loved their father and wish to marry a man like him. His mother told him that a daughter saw her father as the best man in the world. Especially if this father paid her a little attention.
This made the prince conclude that if he could show his love for his sunshine the way king George showed his love for his Queen, then maybe this princess will like him.
With this thought in mind, prince Sébastien closed his book loudly to get princess Ellen''s attention. Sure enough princess Ellen looked at him.
"I do not have a mistress or plan to Marry another wife in the future. It will be too troublesome," he stated. There was no need to keep something like this hidden. Although he was not the type to speak out his thoughts, he felt he should let her know.
Princess Ellen was surprised by his words but she kept a straight face." what do you mean? Do you not already have a mistress?" she asked. She wonder if he was planning to give up his mistress now that he had her.
"I do?" prince Sébastien acted ignorantly.
"Do you not?" princess Ellen was confused.
"If I do then she must look just like you. After all, you are the only woman who has shared my bed and still breathes," prince Sébastien said.
When princess Ellen heard his words she was speechless. "was I thinking too much last night?" she questioned herself. She had wanted to clarify all this long ago but the night she made up her mind he did not return. Since an opportunity has presented itself princess Ellen decided not to waste it. She did not know what else life will throw at her but she hoped to have a good marriage with the prince.
"previously you said you liked someone, who is she?" princess Ellen chose to ask clearly.
"I told you already, did you not see her in the mirror that day," prince Sébastien frown his brows. His sunshine was very smart how did she become dumb all of a sudden.
"What do you mean when I looked in the mirror that day, I saw myself..." princess Ellen''s tone was flat. she thought he was trying to avoid her question but when she finished speaking her throat dried and her heartbeat increased.
''If the person in the mirror was her then does it mean he likes her?'' The princess wonders and pointed to herself. She wanted to ask clearly but she was afraid of being disappointed.
When the prince saw her reaction he felt a bit helpless but since he wanted to avoid more misunderstanding in the future he got off his seat and took her hand. He then leads her out of the library. He no longer wants to delay anything. There was a need for them to know and trust each other better with the wars ahead.
"where are we going?" princess Ellen wanted to ask but she swallowed her words and followed him obediently.
