"The Queen is too vicious how could she allow something like this to happen to her son. She does not deserve to be a mother," princess Ellen felt like looking for Queen Magret and scolding her. After seeing today''s incident she began to think once more of the possibility that the woman is not the prince''s mother.


    Prince Sebastian was surprised by her reaction once more. She did not seem scared. He was amazed that she dared to scold his mother in his presence. He felt warm all over, although as a proud prince, he did not want anyone feeling sorry for him, but if that person was his sunshine then it was fine.


    So it did not matter to him if she was scolding even the gods, talk more of his mother.  He forget that if the right of queen Magret to be a mother was taken from her, he will no longer be in existence.


    To be fair he was only a little boy at that time and he would do whatever his mother told him. He was scared but his mother had told him everything will be fine he naturally believed her.


    "It not mother''s fault, back then she was in a desperate position. My survival depended on it, she did not have much choice," prince Sebastian explained.


    When princess Ellen heard him, she shook her head. There is no sure thing like not having another choice. This is just what people say to justify themselves.


    Take for example her father had the choice to have refused the prince''s offer to marry her. He could have fought to the death, but between his father''s duty to protect his child and his duty as a king to protect the people of Bozoa, he had chosen the people. He should not say he had no choice because he made one.


    It was also the same for the queen, if she was so desperate to keep her son alive, she should gave forsaken the throne and disappeared at that time.


    This would have been easy to do since she was not the Queen at that time. Not many people knew what she looked like and her son was still young. So leaving Avalo with a few golds and settling in another kingdom would have been easy, but she chose to sacrifice her son''s humanity, to get a chance to keep the throne, and yet, she had the chick to say ''she did not have another choice.''


    Human beings are selfish in nature, when put in a difficult position they will naturally choose what benefits them the most. Her father would have died in war if he chose to protect her. Even if he managed to survive the kingdom will be under Avalo and he will lose his power as a king but in giving her away, he is able to save his life and be at peace with Avalo. One must know that in over ten years, Bozoa is the only kingdom that was not destroyed and subdue by Avalo.


    Prince Sebastian is known as the prince of war, whatever kingdom he attacks he subdues. The only reason why Bozoa managed to hold on for so long was because the prince has not been the one who lead the attack in the first two years but once he did, Bozoa was immediately subdued and could barely hold on.


    On the surface, it is said that Bozoa managed to withstand Avalo''s attack but she and everyone in Bozoa knew that the gods has only decided to show them mercy. But this did not matter. Her father will be praised for his excellent leadership that has saved his people.


    So what did it matter, if she is offered to be a peaceful sacrifice? It should be her honor to save her people but receive no appreciation.


    The Same thing applied to Sebastian''s mother, if she had run away, she would at the most be a rich unknown woman in any of the twelve kingdoms. Can this be compared to being the Queen of Avalo for so many years and her son seating on the Throne?


    The answer is clear for everyone to see, not even becoming a Queen of any of the other eleven kingdoms will compare to her status as the king''s mother in Avalo.


    Although Princess Ellen had all this thought, she did not voice it out. She just shook her head. Prince Sebastian could not tell what she was thinking but he was certain that she disagreed with him.


    "It''s okay, it''s already in the past," he could only say these words. To him, everything that happens is already in the past. Even if his mother made the wrong choice there was nothing he could do about what happened back then. Moreover, if he had not become like this he might not have met his sunshine.


    If not that princess Ellen was still in has managed to calm down a little she would have rolled her eyes and called the prince ''stupid''


    What past? He was still a beast that was blood tasty how could such a shred of living evidence be referred to as the past. But she nodded her head. When she had scolded the Queen she was still very tense so she had said whatever was in her mind at that time.


    It was fortunate that she had not voiced out her doubt about the Queen not being prince Sebastian''s mother. Who knows if she will still have her tongue. Although the prince said he liked her, he will not be too rational if she said such a thing about his mother


    "You are thinking too much, I will be having a long meeting with the lords and nobles. You should rest well today," Prince Sebastian decided to change the topic. He knew that once more the princess has chosen to keep quiet rather than disagree with his words.


    *knock *knock* there was a knock on the door before princess Ellen could react to the prince''s words. She was going to ask him how long the meeting will take.


    "Your highness the princess bath is ready," Jeffery''s voice came from outside. Prince Sebastian looked at the princess. He had wanted them to draw the bath in her chamber since he felt she would need time alone but she had invited him in, which meant that the bath must have been arranged in his chamber since the servant did not dare go close to the room when he was inside.


    Princess Ellen also comes to the same conclusion. When she had washed up with the prince last night, she had managed to come herself because the oil lam was not burning so brightly, so she was able to hide her shy and embarrassed face.


    But now....
