Ann and princess Ellen were on their way to the dining hall when they heard two maids gossip.


    "so it is true that princess Ema has been kneeling down in the entrance of the king''s chamber," the first maid said. They were clearing the hallway and did not notice Ann and princess Ellen since their steps were light.


    Moreover, these maids were focused on their gossip so it was expected for them not to notice. When princess Ellen and Ann heard this, they paused their steps.


    They both had the same thought in mind. "what could princess Ema be up to?"


    "Of course, I saw her with my own eyes when I went to that way," the second maid replied.


    " Let take a look, " Ann immediately suggested. She was scared that princess Ema will use her pitiful state to make king George change his mind about lady Regina''s state.


    To be honest Queen Agatha had no problem with the king being patient and loving Lady Regina''s children. They did nothing wrong but she would not stand by and let them get away with all they have done to her daughter.


    Princess Ellen agreed. She wanted to see what her beloved sister is up to. The two of them immediately quicken their paste and change direction.


    When they climb up the stairs they saw Princess Ema kneeling just as the maid had said. Her head was hanging low. She looked meek like an obedient child.


    "Have you told father about this?" princess Ellen asked the guard who was standing outside the door. Ever since King George discovered what kind of a woman lady Regina is, he had a few of his trustworthy men watch his door.


    Who knows if the woman will have some kill him in his sleep. Although he was still strong and his fighting skills were good, if someone should attack him in his sleep his chances to win will be low.


    "No, princess Ema forbids us. She wants to show her sincerity to his majesty," one of the guards replied.


    Princess Ellen nodded her head. She must give it to this sister of her. She came over to kneel at the king''s door. No matter what the king will have to get breakfast. So even if she asked the guards not to tell her father the king will surely come out of his room shortly.


    When he sees her and asks why nobody told him the guards will say that she asked them not to. This will show how sincere she was. Since she wanted to act sincere princess Ellen decided to help her by knocking on the king''s door.


    The king should be out any moment from now but she could always go in and delay him right. That way princess Ema will be able to show her sincerity.


    When Ann saw her action, she was very proud. This daughter of her sure knows how to scheme. She could rest assured that she will be able to survive in Avalo Royal palace even if her husband chooses to Marry other wives and keep a mistress.


    "Come in," King George granted the permission. He was already fully dressed and was about to step out of the room.


    "Father," princess Ellen smiled warmly. King George was happy to see the princess coming to see him. he thought that she had a request to make. He was very happy to do something for this daughter of his after failing her for many years.


    "What is it?" king George asked in a nice and calm tone. Princess Ellen bite her lips and acted as though she was afraid to say what she had in mind.


    The truth is princess Ellen did not have anything to say to her father but she could always find a random excuse but if she said it immediately, then her father will respond. That will not take too long. So she decides to act this way to waste some time.


    If princess Ema wanted to act pitiful it was best she suffered a little.


    "Say it, you do not have to act this way with father," king George said.


    "Father, the people from across the sea attack Avalo recently. I have read a few books from our Royal library. Avalo does not have these books. And prince Sébastien would have loved to take a look at them but he has been very busy. I... It..." princess Ellen played with her Pam by rubbing them together as if she was trying to gather her thoughts together.


    " Do you plan to borrow a few books? " king George asked.


    " it''s not that father, I was thinking if father could arrange for people to cope out new copes and send them to Avalo," princess Ellen said.


    She did not care if her father agreed or disagree. For her delaying him a little and having princess Ema knee for a little longer was all she wanted.


    King George paused when he heard her request. This was indeed not something too difficult for him to do. The books in the royal library were of great importance, he could not just borrow them off.


    After thinking for some time he could not stop himself from smiling, this daughter of his was very sensible and did not ask for something that will put him in between. Although borrowing the book will be a faster approach but that will put him in a difficult position.


    "I will make arrangements," king George said. Of course, he was willing to do this. The cope of this books has been passed down from generations. Since Avalo was seeking to learn more about the people across the sea, princess Ellen will be more treasured for solving this little problem.


    "Thank you, Father," even if she had only cooked up this excuse to delay her father, she was happy that she could help the prince solve this problem.


    After all, as his wife, she will be of more value If she is useful.


    "It is nothing, if you have a request in the future you can ask me. As long as it is within my power I will surely grant it," king George said.


    When princess Ellen did this she could not help but smile but then her smile frozen as if she remembered something.


    King George noticed this and asked her what the matter was but she refused to say and urge him to come out of his chamber with her. Her behavior quite surprised the king.


    Princess Ellen''s reasons for doing this were simple, she did not want her father to know that she had deliberately delayed him when she knew princess Ema was kneeling outside.


    Since it is Princess Ema''s wish to keep it from him, she did not break the wise. She went ahead to tell her father why she was looking for him but when she remembered her sister was kneeling outside she asked the king to come out.


    This will make her reasonable in the eyes of the king. Even if Princess Ema had treated her badly in the past she let it go and treated her well.
