The next morning when princess Ellen woke up, the prince was gone and since his spot was already cold she knew it must be a long time. She looked around the room before getting up. Just then there was a knock on her door and it was pulled open.


    Princess Ellen could tell that the person at the door was Grater since she was already used to the way she knocked.


    "My princess," Grater bowed a little. Princess Ellen smiled. "Did you see the prince this morning?" princess Ellen asked. She wanted to find out where he was.


    "No your highness, the prince left very early. He went with Jeffery," Grater reported what she knew. Since they were in Bozoa, Grater always go first to look for Jeffrey.


    Jeffery was the only one who dared to knock on the prince''s door early in the morning but this morning when he got to Jeffrey''s room she was informed he left early that morning so she calm to fine princess Ellen but as of that time the princess was still asleep. So she asked the maid to prepare her bath.


    Princess Ellen nodded her head after hearing what Grater said. She remembered that the prince said something about sending Jeffery to Avalo to check things first.


    "Your bath is ready," Grater said. Princess Ellen nodded her head and went into the bathroom. When she was done Grater helped her dress up. When she was ready, Grater followed her outside the room.


    Standing Outside the room was One who Princess Ellen has not seen for a few days.


    "your highness," One bowed. Princess Ellen nodded her head and allow him to follow behind her. She was sure this arrangement was made by the prince. She knew that the Palace was not safe for her to walk about with Lady Regina''s present.


    She had spent the entire day outside the Palace so she was still unaware of the king''s actions of cutting off lady Regina''s power in the place.


    ...


    "How could Father do this to Mother? It''s all Ellen''s fault ever since she returned everything has changed," princess Ema gritted her teeth in annoyance after speaking. She had found out since yesterday about her father''s doing.


    She wanted to go and complain to him, but the king was busy and did not have her time. Later she decided to find her brother and complain but he was not even in the Palace.


    Prince William was surprised when he heard his sister''s explanation. Although he knew the king had never shared a close relationship with his mother, he was at least very considerate to her.


    When he thought about it, he felt the king had acted that way in the past because his mother had given birth to a son but now that he found out that his first wife had a son too he suddenly became cold towards them.


    This was unacceptable, how could the king treat them like they were not his children. No matter what, even if he did not take a fancy on their mother he should treat them right.


    ''What happened to the father who always longed for a peaceful home? " prince William asked himself.


    He felt that his father should have allowed his mother her dignity in the Palace. It was one thing to strip her of her title for the mistake she made but why would he reduce her to a nobody after marrying a lowly maid.


    " We have to speak to father, this is so unfair," princess Ema said. Prince William nodded in agreement. Of course, he would never think that his mother brought it upon himself.


    "speak to father?" he paused and thought about it, if only he could kill the man now he would have made the move but fortunately, if he did Richard will become the king and he will lose any chance he could get to take the throne.


    Furthermore, he did not dare provoke his father at this point. In the past, he was arrogant because he knew he was the only son but now he knew that the king will dare to disown him.


    "You know how things are now? Father is bewitched by that maid and Ellen. If I questioned father''s decision he might disown me under their pressures. So I can only let you speak for mother now. In the past father dotted on you even more than Ellen, I am sure he will reconsider, " Prince William said.


    Princess Ema nodded her head. Her father has always loved her the most. He often punishes princess Ellen without giving her a chance to defend herself in the past.


    When Prince William saw the arrogant look on his sister''s face he felt a headache. This little sister of his did not understand that things has changed. The king love and dotted on her in the past because he thought Princess Ellen was the problem. If this sister of his throw any unkind words to the princess or the king''s new wife he was afraid that even his sister will taste their father''s anger for the first time. So he gently reminded her of the situation.


    "Ema, you know that father loves a peaceful family. It''s almost time for breakfast we should go and join them. Remember you must not provoke Ellen or the new Queen first," Prince William said.


    "What? Do you expect me to bow to that lowly maid? ," princess Ema was angry.


    "calm down, you are doing this for mum. If you annoy that woman father will not listen to you. So you must act accordingly," prince William tried to convince her.


    "no, I can still pretend with Ellen, but that lowly maid? NEVER," she declared with emphasis on the late word.


    Prince William shook his head. This little sister of his has been spoiled by both their parents.


    "Then you should forget about meeting father, I am afraid your behavior will only make father send mother out of the Palace altogether," Prince William replied in a regretful voice.


    When princess Ema heard him she thought he was being unreasonable. "what nonsense are you saying + why will father punish mother if I do something to annoy that woman?"


    "Do you not see? If you disrespect the king''s wife then you have disrespected the king. Father will not be able to bear to disown you, so he will blame it on mother for not bringing you up properly. Do you want that to happen?" prince William asked.


    "no," Princess Ema immediately shook her head. To her, lady Regina had suffered unjustly and she could not let more harm come to her.


    "Then listen to brother and do what I say. As long as mother can get even a little power back in the Palace then there is hope for me to become the next king.


    Tell me, who would you not be able to bully when that time comes?" prince William asked.


    When princess Ema heard this she fell deep in thought.
