Princess Ellen turned around to face him, she reach out and took off his mask. She did not know why but from the moment the prince had told her he liked her she was no longer scared of him.


    She boldly took off his mask and looked into his eyes. "I think I have learned to like you too," she confessed. Since the prince had opened up she did not see the reason not to tell him how she felt.


    The prince was stunned by her statement. In his wildest dream, he never thought of the princess liking him so soon, that is if she ever got to like him at all.


    He looked into her eyes and searched for any trace of fear, he wanted to be sure she was not lying to him but the princess''s gaze was firm and calm. He could see that her eyes looked sincere.


    He was so happy that he did not know how to react. He unconsciously tightens his hands around her waist, he did not want them to waste this moment. This causes the princess to cry out in pain.


    Prince Sébastien losing up his grip when he heard her cry. "you are not lying to me right?" He asked to confirm.


    "I have no reason to deceive you," princess Ellen answered calmly. She had expected him to doubt her intentions if she suddenly told him that she like him.


    "This feels like a dream but I do not mind sleeping in it forever," prince Sébastien said. Princess Ellen also felt the possibility of it being a dream so she pinched the prince''s wrist hard.


    "What was that for?" prince Sébastien asked. Although he felt the pain from her pinch it was not still enough to make him cry in pain.


    "I was trying to wake you up from your dream," princess Ellen answered. She felt a bit disappointed that her hard pinch did not even make him move his finger or frown his brows a little.


    "How strong was he?" she asked herself. When the prince heard her replied he smiled. His smile was so charming that the princess felt lost in his gaze.


    "Next time wake me up this way?" prince Sébastien said. Princess Ellen was confused at first but when she felt his lips against has she understood what he mean.


    This was not the first kiss between the couple but it was different from all the kisses they have shared. It was a lot intimate. It had nothing to do with the ritual to keep her alive or the prince playing tricks.


    It was a kiss that the both of them were involved in. Maybe it was because prince Sébastien told her he like her, Princess Ellen felt like that was the first kiss she shared with him.


    Even the prince felt satisfied. Finally, he had taken one step to get closer to his sunshine. Prince Sébastien was happy. The kiss lasted until they both ran out of breath.


    Prince Sébastien let go of her and looked at her. "Are you sure you like me?" He asked.


    "yes, you treat me so well how can I not like you?" princess Ellen answered.


    "Are you still scared of me?" prince Sébastien asked. He was suddenly feeling very insecure. What if the princess only lied to like him because she was scared that if she did not say those words he would be offered.


    "Do you want me to be scared of you?" princess Ellen asked instead of answering his questions. Her gaze was calm, there was no fear or resentment.


    "No, but you know some of the rumors are true right?" prince Sébastien could not help but ask. She was pure and nice, he was evil and vicious. The two of them should be worlds apart but he selfishly wanted to keep her.


    "As long as you treat me well I do not believe you are a beast," princess Ellen answered. Even if he had the appearance of a beast he has treated her better than lady Regina who has the beautiful look of an angel but the heart of a beast. The prince felt touched.


    "No one is pure, I have no right to judge you, besides all is said to be fair in war and love," princess Ellen assured him when she saw that he remain quiet.


    The prince smiled when he heard her answer, as long as his sunshine did not see him as a beast then it did not matter what the others thought.


    Princess Ellen thought the princess still doubted her words since he just stared at her after hearing her last reply. So she swallowed her shyness and kissed him.


    ....


    "where is the first son," lord Baratheon Also asked when he saw that no one answered the first person.


    Just then a voice was heard from inside the hut of the God Almighty. "It is accepted, your reign will be fruitful," the voice said.


    When Richard heard this, he kneeled on the ground and bowed his head to touch the floor. When the other lords and people who just arrived saw this they were surprised.


    Ahh, that old fox sure knows how to hide people. The son he and his sister has been searching seriously for has been right before them. Lord Tyler felt really stupid.


    How did no one ever think of this? The king has been very generous to Richard. He gave him a chance to make a wish after winning the tournament last time. This was something a king will do when their son made them proud.


    Then Richard had gone ahead and killed a shark on the week of the crown prince ritual. He even dares gift the royal jewelry to Danny.


    The king had really played everyone but with the king''s presence, they all swallowed back all the curses that should have left their mouth.


    After kneeling for a few minutes, the six priests came forward and took Richard away. He would be gone for at least an hour.


    The priest will have him go through purification and then bless him. King George already send a royal robe ahead. It was time for his lost son to take his place.


    Prince William was present among the last crown. When he saw that the servant he looked down on has been named the crown prince, he felt very bitter.


    He immediately left the place as quietly as possible. He did not want to draw attention to himself. He wanted to go back to the Palace and report this situation to his mother.


    He was certain that his mother will have a solution. "The throne is mine and no one can take it away, '' He console himself as he rode his horse faster.


    He got to the Palace thirty minutes later. He immediately explained what he had witnessed to his mother. Lady Regina was shocked at this revelation. She could remember kidnapping that boy to threaten his mother.


    If she had known she would have gotten rid of him a long time ago. It turns out that she had unintentionally created a way back for the boy to claim his name.


    She remembered that princess Ellen met him when she locked him up to threaten Ann. She could not help but think if things would have been different if she did not get Ann''s son involved. Maybe the king and princess Ellen would never have noticed him.


    "Well now that things are like this, I can just use the boy''s mother to threaten him in the future," Lady Regina began to make a plan in her head.
