When Princess Ellen saw this scene she was happy. The more she thought about it the more she was convinced that Ann was different.


    "You two are already so old, why are you showing off your friendship to make us jealous?" Rose was jealous. She has left all her friends they came back to Bozoa. She and Ellen would have been friends if only she was not married to a man from Avalo.


    When they saw her reaction they laughed. "Are you not going to marry Joe Yancey, I am sure you and Danny will be good friends," princess Ellen comforted her.


    "That is right," Rose smiled. The four of them soon settle down and eat the snacks having a random conversation. Princesd Ellen found herself at the center of the conversation.


    They kept asking her about Avalo and her life there. They talked and laugh like old friends that were very closed.


    Meanwhile, the men were still seated in the welcoming hall having random conversations. Prince Sebastian was very calm, he answered any question directed to him.


    Lord Zorander and Lawrence were surprised. Rumor has it that Prince Sebastian was very difficult to get along with. He was said to be very rude and even his father had to talk to him carefully. It was not something out of place for him to act this way. After all, he had the ability to act arrogantly.


    When they saw that he was very calm they also become very calm. Jeffery who was standing at the corner was amused. He could guess that the only reason why the prince was been so nice to these people was that they were related to princess Ellen.


    He was not wrong, prince Sebastian was indeed been respectful because lord Zorander was his grandfather-in-law. On the other hand lord Zorander felt regretful. If her daughter had not insisted on marrying the prince back then, then her granddaughter will not suffer such a fate.


    To be honest he did not think that prince Sebastian was good enough for his granddaughter. His granddaughter was pure and sweet, while the prince was evil.


    Even if he had all this thought, he did not dare to voice it out or annoy the prince. Although the prince was calm and spoke respectfully to them,    Lord Zorander knew that it will be stupid to provoke the prince. After having random conversations for an hour, Lord Zorander felt tried.


    "I should go and rest," lord Zorander said and tried to stand up but he could not feel his right leg. He fell back to his seat.


    "Father,'''' Lawrence was worried.


    " it nothing, my legs just feel stiff, it must be due to the fact that I have been sitting in the same spot for a while," lord Zorander said.


    When Lawrence heard him, he felt relief. "Then seat back let me massage it for you," Lawrence said. As he spoke he went on his knees and fold the sleeves of his robe. He took lord Zorander''s leg and started massaging it.


    Jeffrey who was standing at the corner caught sight of the three black dots on his right hand. His breath was stiff. He remembered the familiar dream he has been having since he was young and lost the memory of what his family looked like.


    In that dream, he would always see a man holding his hand and putting hot charcoal on his hand. Then he would feel it burn his skin a little. It was very painful but the man in the dream will comfort him.


    "son, the war has become this serious and it is difficult for us to be together all the time. It is important that I do this. This way even if we separate we can recognize each other again.


    After repeating this three times, the man stretched his hand. The scars matched the one on his own hands. "see, I will always recognize you," the man would say and Jeffery will wake up.


    In his early days, he always looked at the hand of any man that looked old enough to be his father. He had hoped for so many years. Later he realized that his father might have died from the war. Years later when he trained under the prince he overcome the fear of what happened that year.


    Maybe it was because he was now the one that heard the sword and he feel strong. Sometimes after a war, he will never enter into the kingdom to face the commoner people.


    The sight of the people running and hiding themselves remains him of him and his father but no matter how the memory looks like he has been unable to see the face of the man.


    But the scar on the hand from the hot charcoal was clear in his mind. He did not believe he was seeing something similar.


    He was a bit far and only had a glimpse of it. Maybe it was because he was in a daze or the fact that he was too curious, to find the truth he took one step after another closer.


    Everyone else has been forced on lord Zorander so they did not notice the change in Jeffery''s behavior until it took hold of Lawrence''s right hand and looked at the scar.


    The other people in the room were surprised. Prince Sébastien was the most surprised. He has been very close to Jeffery and the latter has never done something so out of place.


    Lawrence who''s hand was suddenly sized with force was the most confused. He did not know why the guard who has remained quiet will suddenly take hold of his hand.


    So he could only look at Jeffery and noticed that the young man was looking at the scar on his hand.


    "Jeffery," prince Sébastien called after the short pause. He knew that Jeffery will have a good reason to have behaved out of place. But he still needed to call him back to his senses.


    When Jeffery heard his name from the prince he let go of the hand and looked at Lawrence. His face was void of any expression.


    Lawrence was not scared but lord Zorander was worried that perhaps Lawrence has offered the man in from of them. Because of Jeffrey''s role as prince Sébastien''s body doubler, he did not show much of his face. After all, the only similarities between him and the prince were their eye color and hair.


    Jeffery swallowed hard and tried to calm himself. Could he have really found his parents or was this a mere coincidence? Although this kind of coincidence was rare, he did not want to raise his hope for nothing.


    "young man what is the problem?" lord Zorander was anxious. If Lawrence has really done something to the young man, he wanted to find out and resolve it. The enemy in the dark was usually the hardest to deal with.


    Jeffery calmly looked at the man, he felt a sense of familiarity but he could not tell if this was due to the scar he just looked at. Not wanting to give himself hope and end up in disappointment Jeffery shook his head.


    "it nothing," he replied in a flat tone.
