The next morning, news of lady Regina catching her maid in her bed-chamber with a man had spread throughout the palace.


    It was said that lady Regina got really upset but she chose to let the maid and the man go.  Fortunately, the gods were not asleep and the man had been bitten by a snake. The Royal physician was able to save the man but the use of his leg will not be so good.


    When princess Ellen heard this story, she could not stop herself from clapping her hands for the Queen. Her ability to change narrative was very excellent.


    If she had indeed gone ahead to report to the king it will be difficult to tell who was saying the truth. Once again she realized why her father has been fooled by the woman many times. It has only been one night but the woman had already come up with such a flawless story.


    She was indeed very smart. A few maids and servants even praised her for being so forgiving. Of course, these people will never learn the truth, after all the other servants that work at the quarter have confirmed the story.


    The said maid had refused to go to the royal ball to celebrate Richard. They thought she was doing so because she is loyal to lady Regina and her son prince Williams. It turns out that she had her own fantasy.


    "Are we still leaving this morning," princess Ellen asked prince Sebastian since she did not want to think about lady Regina.


    "The Queen said she wants you and Richard to accompany her today. Let us leave tomorrow," Prince Sebastian replied.


    Princess Ellen raised her brows if she still could not notice that something was not right then she would be stupid.


    "Ann has changed. It seems hitting her head on the wall has given her courage. She was even able to analyze lady Regina''s defense," Princess Ellen said.


    Ann was just a maid, although she had worked with lady Regina for a long time princess Ellen knew that it was impossible for Ann to be able to analyze lady Regina''s actions so well when she, herself failed to.


    "This change is a good thing at least she will be able to protect your brother. This is what you want right," prince Sebastian answered. He did not give away anything he had discovered from his conversation with Ann, the night before.


    It was not in his place to tell her, he only cared about her safety and since the changes in Ann will not hurt her in any way he was fine with it.


    "Do not think too much, let us go and have breakfast," prince Sebastian said. He knew that no matter how much princess Ellen thought about it, she will be unable to know the truth.


    Princess Ellen agreed, when they got to the dining hall, Ann was already present. She had a warm smile on her face when she greeted them. The first thing princess Ellen notice was how well-dressed Ann was looking.


    She flawlessly wore the air of a noble lady. She carried her step with grace and even her smile looked more beautiful. If not for her face, princess Ellen will not believe that Ann was the person standing there.


    Princess Ellen decided not to overthink this and settle on the dining table. Shortly after, Richard and lord Zorander walked into the dining hall. Ann''s lips curved like she was going to refer to Lord Zorander as Father, but she bite her tongue in time before she smiled.


    "Lord zorander, Son," she called at to the both of them. "Your highness lord zorander smile back. Lord Zorander had lived many years but he did not know Ann so well so he did not notice anything has changed but Richard did.


    After they sat down king George finally stepped in. " your Majesty," Ann smiled as she bowed her head slightly.


    King George nodded his head. Some people are indeed blessed with a good body that could recover quickly. If someone else was to have fallen last night they would be in their bed for at least a month.


    In reality, Ann was able to recover because the prince had helped her. She should have died from the fall.


    After exchanging the morning greeting everyone sat down and began to eat. Princess Ellen thought the food was very delicious. She thought this was because she was around people with good intentions. It was the first time she was not eating with the snake and her children, so the food should taste better


    King George did not have the same thought, he has fallen into a daze after taking the first bite. Even in his dreams, he could recognize the food his late Queen made.


    Queen Agatha was a noble lady and did not need to learn how to cook. She was just supposed to learn from her mother and direct the maids on what to cook.


    According to Queen Agatha had told him, Queen Agatha had a stepmother who was the daughter of a maid, so the woman knew how to cook. This stepmother will always cook for her father and her father loved the woman''s cooking.


    As a young girl, Agatha was not happy seeing how much her father favored that woman over her mother had done some things to spoil the woman''s food.


    At first, her stepmother did not know she was behind it. Moreover, her father will not complain even when the food tastes bad. Even when her stepmother found out she did not report her to her father. Instead, she told her to learn how to cook so that her father will like her more.


    The young Agatha had decided to learn how to cook, in her heart she wanted to learn in other to teach her mother how to cook like her stepmother


    Agatha"s way of thinking back then was very simple. She thought that Mother could cook like her stepmother, her father will favor her too.


    Unfortunately, Agatha''s mother was bad at learning how to cook in the end Agatha just made the food for her father herself. Especially after her stepmother passed away.


    ''Why was Ann''s food suddenly tasting like what Agatha had made?" He asked himself. After thinking about it for some time he could not make any sense out of it, so he concluded that he must be missing Agatha too much not that Ann''s food taste like that of Agatha.


    After all, Agatha has already been dead for years. How could her spirit suddenly appear and prepare breakfast? "I must be growing old," the king  thought
