When prince Sébastien saw the warm smile on her face he felt happy. "why are you smiling?" he asked since he became curious. If he knew what made her smile, he could always do that to make her smile.


    Princess Ellen smiled, even more, when she saw his serious expression. She started to think if she had ever seen this man smile. Seeing that princess Ellen did not attempt to answer but smiled more he was puzzled.


    What could be making his sunshine smile so much? He suddenly felt that the room has become brighter.


    "Why are you smiling so much?" prince Sébastien could not help but repeat his question. He was the kind of person who was not used to taking much. He hates repeating himself the most. But he just did and did not feel angry or irritated like he would have if it was someone else.


    When princess Ellen heard him repeat his question, her cheeks turn red with embarrassment. How was she supposed to tell him that she was smiling because of his serious face?


    "princess Ellen you will surely lose your graceful appearance at this rate,"  she scolded herself in her head. When the prince saw her turning red in embarrassment he felt more confused. He could not seem to remember anything embarrassing happening.


    When he thought about it, he remembered that a lot of people will laugh when they saw someone having something on the face of the person they were looking at. Especially if it makes them look funny.


    "Is there something on my face?" prince Sébastien asked. Seeing the confused look of the prince, princess Ellen felt he looks more handsome this way. This man the prince more halts  . he did not understand the smile on her face.


    "No, your highness. Your face is fine," she replied with a smile. Even if princess Ellen said this prince Sébastien still touched his face to check. ''why was she suddenly calling him "your highness" the more he thought about it the more he thought the princess was enjoying him make a fool of himself.


    "Why not check the mirror?" princess Ellen suggested with a straight face. Prince Sébastien thought princess Ellen''s suggestion was reasonable.


    So he walked over to the mirror and looked at his face. Seeing the prince taking her words seriously princess Ellen could not stop herself from laughing softly.


    When prince Sébastien heard her low chuckle, he was happy. He could not help his lips from covering up a little.  "You seem to have a lot of energy to tease me, wife, should I think of this as an invitation?" he decided to tease her back but the prince was dazed because she saw his small smile.


    This was the first time princess Ellen saw him smile. Although it did not seem like a smile she thought he looks so handsome.


    How wonderful was it that she was the only one who could see his face like this? When she thought about it she suddenly remembered what Jeffery had said earlier.


    "is Jeffery also cursed? Why can no one see his face?" she asked.


    Prince Sébastien was surprised by her unexpected question but he thought that his wife was smartly avoiding his question so he answered. "Jeffery is not cursed. It just convinced that his face remains unknown since he is my right-hand man," prince Sébastien said. He was not sure if he should tell her about Jeffery acting as his body doubler.


    Princess Ellen looked at him, she had a reason to believe that he was not being honest with her. She tried her best to put the dots together. Suddenly she remembered that Jeffery said something about eye color and hair color.


    Why would the prince be concerned about eyes and hair color? She gave the prince a doubtful look but she decided not to ask any further. If he did not want to talk about it then there was no point to push him. She did not want to irritate him.


    "So we leave tomorrow morning?" princess Ellen changed the topic. Prince Sébastien paused. He had been thinking about it. Although he heard clearly heard the conversation of the group of men following him, he could not help but think that these people wanted him to notice them.


    Why else will someone in a hid out talk so loud! Their voices should be low. He could have set a trap and found out what their intentions were but he was afraid that he will only alert whoever sent them.


    The most frustrating part was he did not know who sent them after him. He knew that his brother could be keeping an eye on him so that he will know when he was ready to make a move.


    Prince Sébastien has given it some thought since he did not want innocent people to die because of the fight for the throne, he decided to use the most direct method.


    This method needed him to go into Avalo without his brother''s knowledge. Then find a way to meet his brother and challenge his brother for the throne.


    Now that he had people following him, he knew that it will become a bit more difficult to carry out this plan except he allow Jeffrey to pretend to be him, while he returns to Avalo.


    Princess Ellen felt puzzled when she saw him remain quiet for a while. Just when she thought he was not going to answer her he spoke.


    "I will send Jeffery and a few men to take a look first. Once I get a confirmation of the situation then we can go over," He said. It was not that prince Sébastien did not trust her enough to tell her the truth, it just that the less she knows the safer she would be.


    " let us sleep, " prince Sébastien said pulling Ellen over to the bed. Since he already decided not to do the deed in her maiden room, he could only control himself until they returned to Avalo.


    Princess Ellen did not refuse, she followed him and lay down. Suddenly her imagination started running wild again when she saw the way the prince was looking at her.


    "Has the long night been moved today?" she asked herself but the prince simply lay beside her and pulled her close. Princess Ellen took a deep breath. She closed her eyes to sleep but sleep seems to be far away from her. The prince has been taken about performing her duty as a wife. Now that she accepted he suddenly seem uninterested.


    "Could it be that the prince was not interested in her, he just wanted to tease her?" she asked herself.


    Princesd Ellen shook her head not wanting to entertain such thoughts.. In the end, she was awake for a long time convincing herself before she slept off.
