"it simply, I want a replacement for Jeffrey," prince Sébastien said when he saw the eagerness on the faces of everyone.


    When they had this request they thought that the prince was underestimating them. "How many men do you want as a replacement?" Lord Zorander asked confidently.


    "you misunderstood me lord Zorander, I just want one man who can be a replacement for Jeffrey. As you all know he owes me his life but I am willing to let him go on account that he is related to my wife but a life for a life. If you give me someone who can be a perfect replacement for Jeffrey then I will let him go, " prince Sébastien said.


    A perfect replacement? They did not quite understand what he meant. " Jeffery please explain to your family what you do and what your replacement should look like, " prince Sébastien said.


    Jeffrey frown his brows, although he was happy to meet his family, he loved working with the prince. Jeffrey had the ability to see the whole picture, if he returns to his family he will at most inherit the family name and property. But if he continues to sever under the prince then his name will be known to many generations. So that when the story of the cursed prince of Avalo is been told his name will be mentioned.


    Jeffrey knew for a fact that prince Sébastien will be a good king when he rule he will be fair and people will sing his praise. The prince has also won many wars and many people in Avalo already knew of his right-hand man called Jeffery. Moreover, he gets to play the prince often. Why will he give that up to join a family he can not remember.


    "I am sorry, I do not wish to be replaced. I have already sown to use my life to serve my prince. How can I go back on my words now? I am not sure the tradition of the family but my prince has taught me that a man must keep his words," these were the words that came out of his mouth.


    After they heard what he said the hall become quiet. "you are indeed your father''s son, so stubborn," lord Zorander said. His voice sounded as though he was disappointed but those who knew lord Zorander well knew that he felt proud of this grandson of his.


    Prince Sébastien shot him a look. "you should give your parents a chance," prince Sébastien said. He felt that these people will continue to trouble him. They were a noble family and it was a slap on their face for their son to become a slave to another. Prince Sébastien understood this much.


    " My replacement must be able to spear with the prince, He must be trustworthy and loyal. My prince likes the color of my eyes and hair. He said they make me look trustworthy," Jeffery finish speaking.


    These demands were quite simple but finding a man that looks like Jeffery will be close to impossible.


    " Do not forget if you find me a traitor in place of Jeffrey, I will come back and destroy this household. That way Jeffrey will be free to serve me again," prince Sébastien said.


    It was already very difficult to find a look-alike with Jeffrey. Even if they managed to find one, how will they know if the person is trustworthy?


    " Your highness, I... we will respect my son''s decision, " Lawrence spoke after a pause. He did not know why his son insisted on staying by the prince''s side but he knew that it will be a waste looking for a replacement since Jeffrey was uninterested.


    Prince Sébastien raised his brows he did not believe that they will give up so easily. Lady Bridget looked sad but she understood why her husband had made this decision.


    "Can we at least find him a wife? that way our family will live on," Ann was the one that spoke. Everyone looked in her direction. Jeffrey felt like killing this woman. All Jeffery''s family thought this was good. If he got married and have children in the future, they can claim them.


    What wife? His prince has become stupid since he married a wife he did not want to suffer the same fate.


    " I have no plans to marry, " Jeffery immediately said. He was scared that they will really marry him a wife the next minute.


    "How can you say that?  You refuse to return home and now you will not even get married so that I can become a grandmother. Do you hate me so much now?" Lady Bridget asked. As she spoke she allowed tears to drop down her cheek.


    Jeffery was stunned of course he could not allow her to keep crying so he immediately agreed to get a wife.


    "i will get a wife, but she has to be my choice," Jeffery said. He half expected them to reject this option. After all noble families always took into consideration who their children married.


    To his surprise they all agreed without hesitation. "you can pick a wife yourself, but if you still can not find one a year from now, then you will allow princess Ellen to pick one for you," Lawrence said.


    He had a feeling that Jeffery just agreed to marry a wife but he had no plans to do so.


    When Jeffery heard this condition he agreed. After all, he believes that the princess will be too busy to remember a thing like this one year later. He totally forgot that since this man was his father he was now related to princess  Ellen and The princess will definitely pay him More attention.


    After this matter was settled, they all returned to the Palace. Princess Ellen noticed that the prince was not acting very warm towards her. She did not know if she did anything to make him angry.


    She waited patiently till late at night when they were both along in their chamber. "How was your walk today? Did you find anything interesting?" princess Ellen beat around the bush since she was not sure how to ask him, how she had offended him.


    "fine," it was just a simple word reply.


    "ahh! I bet you did not see anything interesting, if I have come with you, I would have taken you to one of my secret places bear by," princess Ellen said.


    Prince Sébastien shook his head. No matter how much he wanted to get close to his sunshine, he did not want to do anything that will put her in danger.


    " I noticed some was following us since will left the palace. I just wanted to know what their purpose was. If they wanted to pick a fight with me then you would have been in danger," prince Sébastien explained. He thought that the princess was feeling regretful that she did not take him to her secret place in the kingdom.


    When princess Ellen heard his explanation, she felt warm all over. It turns out that she had only misunderstood him but why did he not just tell her back then.


    ''Why did he suddenly turn cold towards her? '' she asked herself.
