Inside princess Ellen''s room.
A simple kiss has turned more demanding but just when the prince took things further there was a knock on the door.
Prince Sebastian cursed in his head. He wanted to ignore the knock but princess Ellen was alarmed. She found out that her father was going to name Richard the crown prince that morning. she had not been involved in the plan from the beginning. Knowing what kind of a woman the lady Regina was, she had assigned one to keep an eye on Ann.
She knew lady Regina, would try everything to stop her brother from becoming the crown prince. When prince Sébastien saw this he reluctantly let go of her. Forget it he should prepare a bed chamber for their first time together. The type that was arranged for a couple on their wedding night.
Princess Ellen immediately got off the bed and went to open the door, sure enough, One was standing at the door.
That woman has made her move, she sent two men to take the maid away but I manage to stop them, do you want me to keep watching her, or do you want to let the lady succeed? " One went straight to the reason he was there.
He could feel the murderous gaze of the prince but he could not remember offending him in any way.
" keep an eye on her, no that will not do, bring her to me, " princess Ellen said. She would not feel at ease unless she could see that Ann was fine.
One bowed his head and hurried away. He could tell that the prince was not happy with him. "why are you sweating so much?" the Armor bearer that left Avalo with him asked.
"I am not sure, but the prince seems to be angry with me. He looked as if he wanted to chop me into pieces," One answered honestly.
"Did you go to report something to the princess just now?" the Armor bearer asked.
"yes, and the prince seems angry," one said.
"The prince must indeed want to kill you, you might have interrupted something," The Armor bearer tease.
One paused, he thought about it, the princess''s face did seem red just now. He cursed his luck for going up at the wrong time. Thankful the princess found his information reasonable. Who knew if the prince would have cut off the hand he used to knock on the door.
"princess Ellen wants you to come over to her chamber," One informed Ann.
Ann nodded her head and followed behind quietly. She could not help but be grateful to the princess for keeping an eye on her. Who knew what Lady Regina was up to when she asked for her a while back.
Lady Regina was so angry when she heard that her guards has failed to capture Ann. It was all thanks to princess Ellen. This made lady Regina very angry. She was still thinking of a way to put her plan into action when she heard the ringing of the royal bell.
This made her even angrier. The bell was a sign that the ritual has been completed. She felt frustrated but soon calm down. If she remain angry she would not be able to control anything, she might end up making more mistakes. This afternoon everyone connected to the Royal family of Bozoa would eat lunch together. This was her chance to make a move on princess Ellen.
All her plans have been falling recently, she made sure to think things through. This time she also did not overlook the crown prince of Avalon''s present. She had to humiliate prince Ellen and have the prince of Avalo hate her.
....
Princess Ellen took a deep breath of relief when she heard the sound of the bells. "I will ask Richard to arrange some guards to follow you. You must act carefully, the Queen will try to use you against Richard," she told Ann.
Ann has worked with lady Regina so she knew for a fact that lady Regina was not a weak enemy. "I will be careful. I will not let her use me against his highness," Ann said. She felt she no longer had the right to address Richard by his name.
She was never his birth mother, to begin with. She counted herself lucky that the king did not punish her for hiding his son all those years. Princess Ellen did not know how to react to this but she felt that Ann had done a good job raising her brother, so she deserves to be addressed as a mother.
"Why call him his highness, even if you are not his birth mother, you have raised him for years and I am sure father is grateful to you," princess Ellen consoles her.
Ann nodded her head, she did not mind how Richard now addresses her, as a mother she was happy that he would live a better life.
" I am sure Richard will not be ungrateful, he will treat you well, " princess Ellen said when she saw that Ann still looked sad.
"of course, he has a kind heart," Ann did not dare to think otherwise. "Go back to your room and rest. I will have someone watch you," princess Ellen said. She knew she had to get ready for the lunch that will take place soon.
After Ann left the room, princess Ellen turned and saw prince Sébastien looking at her like a lost puppy. Then it suddenly occurred to her that the prince was not wearing his mask just now when One knocked and when Ann entered. She had forgotten about him because she was worried about Ann''s safety but now that Ann has seen his face will she dead from the curse?
"I had my back against the door when she came," prince Sébastien answered when he saw her worried gaze. He had indeed turned around because he was angry that the princess forgot about him.
Princess Ellen smiled, "I am sorry about just now, I was a bit worried," princess Ellen apologized. She knew she was wrong.
Prince Sébastien frown his brows and did not accept her apology. He was not angry at her, he just felt like putting on an act.
Princess Ellen did not know this, so she sat beside him and continued to apologize. "I was wrong, I will not make sure a mistake again," she said as she patted his back gently.
"What is this I am not a baby," prince Sébastien thought but he did not move away from her touch. The truth was he did not mind her treating him like a baby.
"Do you forgive me?" princess Ellen asked after patting him for some time.
"No," prince Sébastien replied. He did not want her to stop petting him, so he had to thicken his skin and refused to forgive her.
Princess Ellen was at loss.. She did not know what she could do to make him forgive her.
