Meanwhile, princess Ellen was already at the ball with Prince Sébastien. Hering all the different versions of the rumor going round she felt very pleased.
Even if Ann was previously a maid no one dares mention it. They were afraid of offending the Royal family. Princess Ellen kept looking at the door the king will use when he arrives but he was nowhere to be seen. She had a feeling that something was not right so she decided to check.
Prince Sébastien naturally followed her. Princess Ellen tried to be positive but when she got to the stairs leading to Ann''s new room and saw the blood she was immediately alert. She had thought that with the king''s protection Ann will be fine but she was wrong.
She followed the trace of blood and like she has expected Ann was been placed on the bed by her father. Without much thought princess Ellen run over. The first thing she could think of was to clean the injury and stop the beading.
"I have a wooden box under my bed can you help me with it," she turned to Prince Sébastien. Prince Sébastien nodded his head. When he got outside the room he saw One so he asked one to get the box.
Meanwhile, prince Ellen got a bow of water from the bathroom and began to clean Ann''s injuries. Prince Sébastien drew close to Ann and touched her feet. From this touch, the prince could feel life leaving Ann. There was not enough time to waste.
"your majesty you should change out of your bloody clothes," prince Sébastien said. He knew his sunshine was worried about the woman on the bed. If the woman was to die his sunshine might blame herself.
Prince Sébastien did not want his sunshine to die so he decided to use his magical powers but he did not want to expose this side of himself to the king.
When King George heard prince Sébastien''s words he thought he had a point so he excuse himself. "One should already be at the door, go get your box," Prince Sébastien said.
Princess Ellen was indeed feeling anxious so she got off her seat and gave the opportunity for the prince to seat down. Prince Sébastien took the time to hold Ann''s hand and murmured a spell. This made her beading to stop and her deep injure to heal.
Prince Sébastien was meticulous enough not to hold on to her hand until the surface injury was healed. So although the saw face of the wound still look fresh, the injuries were healed.
Prince Sébastien thought he has hidden his act properly, he did not know that princess Ellen has turned her face just before she got to the door, so she heard him murmuring something.
She also noticed that the line on Ann''s face became smooth when the prince withdraw his hand. She was not stupid. Back then when she saved his life she had noticed that for some reason the poison was not spreading.
"What could be his special ability?" she wondered as she opened the door. Sure enough One was already waiting outside with the box.
Princess Ellen thank him and collected the box. When she turned around she saw prince Sébastien standing outside with an indifferent look. She smiled faintly and pretended not to know anything.
She went over to Ann and opened the box. She took out medicine and started to apply it to the injury. As Expected, princess Ellen noticed the injury did not seem that deep. She has been the one clearing the injury so she noticed this much.
After she finish applying for the medicine she turned to look at prince Sébastien. Just as she was going to say something, the door was pushed opened and the Royal physician walked in.
Because there was a royal ball finding this man was difficult. He could not have guessed that something like this would happen.
When the physician comes close he noticed that princess Ellen seems to have attended to the patient. "you still remember all you learned. This is good," the Royal physician praised her. He looked at the wounds and seeing there were not so deep he decided to let the princess handle them.
"What happened?" princess Ellen asked the king gaurd after attending Ann.
"I am not sure? Her highness suddenly falls from the stairs. Maybe she misses her footing in a hurry to meet the king," The guard answered.
Although this was probably, princess Ellen found it had to believe. Ann has been using these stairs for years that princess Ellen was convinced that even if she was to close her eyes she would not fall.
" if she missed her footings she should have fallen on her face, not rolled on the stairs. Hurry and check if there was anyone else in the corridor," princess Ellen ordered. She knew that nothing will be proved since the incident happen a while back. She just hoped that someone saw something.
Prince Sébastien suddenly frowns his brows. Sometimes was wrong with the atmosphere. As someone who had a beast living with him, he could sense the presence of a spirit.
If he was close his eyes he might even see what is happening clearly but he was afraid of scaring his sunshine.
"you should go and wash your hands and change, your dress is stained with blood," prince Sébastien looked for a reason to send princess Ellen away.
"I do not want to leave her alone," princess Ellen said she was scared that Ann might die if she lives who knows if that snake that cause her to fall off the stairs will come to complete her task.
"I will wait for you, she will not be alone," prince Sébastien replied. When princess Ellen heard him, she finally got offered her seat. She trusts that the prince will keep Ann safe.
After princess Ellen left the room, prince Sébastien took Ann''s hand and closed his eyes. He started murmuring something but before he could see what was happening the grad at the door opened, so he immediately let go of Ann''s hand and opened his eyes.
He cursed in his heart when he saw Richard, all his efforts to find out what was going on were wasted with Richard''s appearance.
Richard was in the ballroom talking to a group of people from time to time he looked at the door but the king did not show up. He noticed Ellen and the prince leaving. Soon he saw the Royal physician been led away by his father''s guard. This made him worried do he found an opportunity to excuse himself and find out what was happening.
Who would have thought that his mother suddenly fell off the stairs? He was so worried that he pushed open the door without knocking.. Fortunately, prince Sébastien dropped his hand bf3he could nothing anything.
