Princess Ellen felt so embarrassed that she used her hands to cover her face. Since after breakfast she had not had anything else to eat. She should have after having her bath earlier but she was not in the mood after hearing the discussion on her way. At that time she was too sad to care about food.
She had only told Grater to bring her dinner since the woman will not let her be if she did not accept to take her dinner. Grater was someone who liked the princess so she will naturally want her to take care of her body.
Grater believed that as long as the princess was pleasing to the eyes, she will be able to attract the attention of the prince and have his favor no matter how many more women he married.
"Let me collect it," princess Ellen said and got off the bed. Prince Sebastian let go of her. He was quite grateful that Grater remembered to bring her dinner for her.
When Princess Ellen open the door, Grater was holding a larger wooden tray. Princess Ellen collected it and nodded her head.
Grater was very sensible she did not dare peep in the room. Princess Ellen''s actions already told her that whatever was inside, its not something she was allowed to see.
Moreover, notice that the Princess seems to be looking red. So she turned around and left. If one is to survive in the crown prince Quater then the person has to be smart. How could she not feel the presence of the prince inside?
Princess Ellen carried the food Tray and drop it on the small table. When she first came to Bozoa, this had been the table she eats, since she was too scared to go out.
Especially after the prince almost choked her to death. When she thought about that night she unconsciously touched her neck. ''Why was he so hash then if he already liked her?''
Prince Sebastian noticed her behavior and wondered what was going through her mind. The prince did not know the details of how she lived those days.
"You have not had dinner right?" Princess Ellen''s voice tone flat. Prince Sebastian was confused. How can a person change so much in such a short moment? She was smiling a while ago when she brought the food over.
"No," he answered her question. "Could it be that she does not like the food?" Prince Sebastian tries to guess the reason for her sudden change.
"Let eat," she invited him. Prince Sebastian did not have any reason to refuse her, so he got up and walked over to the small table. When he got there he realize there was just a single chair. Since only the princess used the room, there has never been a need for an extra chair.
"You eat first," princess Ellen said. She suddenly felt wrong about the way the prince treated her doing the royal ball. "Am I been petty?" She asked herself. Although she knew the answer she tried to convice herself. Ever since she meet and married the prince someone has been trying to kill her.
Even the prince almost choked her to death. Even after he realized that he had been wrong about his assumption he did not bother to apologize.
Prince Sebastian did not know what was going on in her mind but he decided to take advantage of the situation. He took a seat and before princess Ellen could move he pulled her to sit on his lap.
"Let us it together," he said. Prince Ellen blushed at their current position and forgot about her grievance. Grater has brought five different meals because she knew the princess had little appetite She just hopes that one of the meals will be inviting enough to the princess.
So the food was naturally more than enough for the two of them. Grater did not know the prince was in the room, so she had naturally brought only one set of cutleries. Princess Ellen was shy at first but the prince took the spoon and feed her so naturally.
He paid enough attention to her and ensure she eat to her full. Maybe it was because the prince fee her the princess felt that her stomach was too full when she got up from his laps.
"I think I ate too much," princess Ellen was embarrassed to say these words. She could not explain why she did not refuse the prince when she felt full. Maybe it was because at that moment she felt pampered.
When prince Sebastian heard he did not feel guilty since he did not force her to eat. "Then let us take a walk around. It will help your stomach," prince Sebastian suggested.
Princess Ellen looked through the window. The sky has already turned dark but it was not too dark for a walk, so she agreed to this suggestion. She helps prince Sebastian wear his mark back.
"It such a shame that your face will remain hidden," princess Ellen said. If many women knew that the prince was such a rare handsome man, they will all want to warm his bed.
"Not really," Prince Sebastian said. He felt slightly guilty about lying to her. When Princess Ellen heard his reply she was surprised.
"Did you not say that as long as someone saw your face they would die?" Princess Ellen felt puzzled.
"Yes," he nodded his head. He was too ashamed to admit that he had been fooling her about kissing her every day, so he could only look for another excuse.
"It like this, as long as there is one person who sees my face and I am willing to keep alive, then the other people who see it will be unaffected," prince Sebastian lied with a straight face.
"So what happens if I die.." Princess Ellen became curious. Prince Sebastian friend his brows. He did not want the word death and his sunshine mention with the same breath.
So he raised his hand and cleaned her lips. His action was gentle but princess Ellen. was surprised. "Is there something on my mouth?" Princess Ellen felt that since they just finished eating this was possible.
"You will not die, not until we grow old together," he said. Princess Ellen was puzzled. What did clearing her mouth have to do with not dying?
"You should not say such thing from your mouth. It sounds dirty," prince Sebastian explain as though he had read her mind.
"Ahh! Only the crown prince of Avalo thinks this way" princess Ellen thought. To her death is part of being human, although everyone wanted to live to a good old age, not everyone is fortunate to have the blessing of long life. She would have loved to tell the prince this, but she was scared that he will get angry.
"Let us go," Prince Sebastian said when he was certain that his words has registered in her heart.. He could not bear the thought of something hurting her. How could she causally mention death?
