It was already evening when Princess Ellen arrived at Avalo. She was tired from her journey. It happens that a lot of people were going over to the royal city of Avalo after all it was almost time for the king''s Coronation.
Lady Catherine has slept off just before they got into Avalo, so she had ordered the Couchman to ride gently. She decided to look outside and see the beautiful view of Avalo Every time she has been on Avalo street, she had not had the opportunity to enjoy the view. who knew her ears will pick up some gossip.
"How can an outsider become our Queen. The crown prince should take another wife," she heard a female voice outside the carriage.
Princess Ellen was not so suprised by this statement. She knew that not everyone will welcome her becoming the Queen of AValo, especially since her kingdom was not under Avalo.
"What do you mean? It is not against our custom. As long as the Queen has no evil intentions," the second voice said.
"So, should we allow some stranger bear our heir and rule over us? It is one thing for the prince to Marry an outsider but making her the Queen is another. After all, Avalo does not lack beautiful capable ladies for the position of the Queen," the first voice said.
"You do have a point, but most ladies are afraid of the crown prince. Do you think any of them will be willing to Marry him?" The second voice asked.
"What is there to be afraid of, he has already Married someone for a few months and she is still alive. Maybe the rumors about the prince are fake," the first voice said.
"In that case, you will be willing to marry the crown prince?" The second voice had doubts. No matter what, the crown prince of Avalo is scary.
"Of course, but we know the prince will not take a look at someone like me," the first voice said.
"True, but who do you think can marry the prince. In the time past, the late king has tried to arrange a wife for his son but each family he goes to will find an excuse. The ones that did not have a choice, the prince had rejected," the second voice said.
"I think it will be very east now, back then they were all scared to death. Rumor had it that whoever married him will not live more than a week but it already going to two months since he married that princess from Bozoa and she is still breathing," the first voice said.
"That''s right, she even went back to her kingdom for a visit. I heard even the crown prince accompany her," the second voice said.
"So you see... The first voice was still taking but princess Ellen focused herself not to listen. She felt hurt hearing all the speculation. It hurt her to know that, if the prince chose to do the wish of his people she will be able to do nothing to stop it.
Well maybe if he took another wife it will not be so bad,'' she tried to comfort herself. All the happiness she had to see the prince was gone after she was slapped hard with the truth.
She could not have the special kind of marriage, her father shared with her mother. No one could have it all. Her marriage to the crown prince of Avalo was fulfilling her duties as the first princess of Bozoa..it was already more than enough that the prince treated her nicely.
Prince Sebastian was waiting in his chamber back in the crown prince Quarters. He had missed his sunshine. The last two nights without her had been his worst.
He had nightmares. Not the type he used to have before. Back then he will dream of the hunted house in the forbidden forest but these two nights his dream has been different.
In his dream, his sunshine has been taken away from him. He tried to get her back but no matter how much he tried he could not. So he could not wait to see his sunshine again and keep her by his side. No matter what he will not want to lose her.
He did not want to be separated from her. He wished to have the nightmare of the hunted house over losing his sunshine.
When Princess Ellen arrived at the crown prince Quater, she had assumed that the prince will still be busy. Or he had already moved to the main palace. It hurt her not to see him at her arrival but she tried to make herself strong.
She went straight to her chamber, luckily the maids were aware of her return, so they arranged her bath.
Jeffery and One, took the still unconscious Dark, to the darkroom. After which Jeffery seeks the prince in his chamber.
" your highness," Jeffery called out after knocking on the door. Prince Sebastian frowns his brows. He knew that Jeffrey was there to report to him but where is his sunshine.
He took a deep breath to calm himself. "Enter," he did not feel like speaking more than one word. When Jeffery heard his voice, he knew the man was in a bad mood but why? He could not even guess.
Jeffery pushed the door open as quietly as possible, scared that the prince who is already in a bad mood will vent his anger on him.
"Your Highness... Jeffery bowed and was going to tell him about dark since the prince never replied to his message earlier. He thought that the prince has been too busy that he did not remember to check the communication book for messages.
This was expected since it was Jeffery who always checked in the time past and inform the prince but who knew the prince will raise his hand to stop him from talking.
" where is my wife?" Prince Sebastian asked the only thing he was interested in knowing. Jeffery was speechless. What happened to his prince. Seeing that the temperature in the room was getting hotter. Jeffery immediately answered his Question.
"She must have gone to her chamber to..." Prince Sebastian got up and walked out of the room before Jeffery could finish speaking.
"I will not get married," Jeffrey said. But he immediately felt helpless when he remembered that he had promised his family at Bozoa to get married, but he sincerely did not want to become like the prince.
He has brought him such good news about catching the man that has been targeting his wife but before he could tell him, the man was already gone.
''Perhaps I should let the Princess pick a wife for me.. If I do not care for her then I will not act as the prince,'' Jeffery thought.
