Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 353

“Lady Magret is there anything else,” Ellen was forced to ask when she saw that lady Emilia was still seated and smiling.

“no, your highness,” Lady Emilia was satisfied with herself. She got to her feet and bowed. “please your highness, you have to consider the bigger benefits. *sigh*.

” It must be hard on you with no real family backing in Avalo. Mother-in-laws can be so unreasonable, ” after emphasis this lady Emilia left. She did not want to push too much.

What she did not know was that Ellen saw right through her. It was obvious that she was not trying to make peace between her and the Queen. Why else will she make lady Magret look unreasonable and controlling?

“I need to stay away from her,” Ellen made a decision. She was not stupid enough to let someone use her as a knife to cut someone.

To Ellen, lady Emilia and lady Magret must have had a lot of conflicts when they shared the same husband. So lady Emilia wanted to use the opportunity that she and lady Magret did not get along to use her as a knife.

If Ellen succeeded, then lady Emilia would be happy but if she failed it will have nothing to do with lady Emilia.

“your highness,” princess Diana returned to the dining hall when she was sure that everyone left.

“Princess Diana,” Ellen smiled.

Princess Diana walked forward and took a seat. She knew the only reason why she was still standing was that Ellen has saved her from lady Catherine’s scheme in the past. Back then she was weak and unable to protect herself. But after she returned to Tait, prince Elliott had learned to respect her.

In other to get the people of Tait favor he promised not to take another wife in the future. This will mean that only princess Diana’s children could talk over the throne in the future.

Princess Diana was happy at this development. They were already trying to have a child together. Before this, the prince never put her feelings into consideration.

To Diana, princess Ellen’s arrival has been the turning point in her life. “Your highness. I still owe you a favor, I have not forgotten,” Princess Diana said.

Ellen was surprised, she did not think princess Diana would still remember what happened back then since she now had a good life in Tiat.

“it nothing,” Ellen shook her head.

“To you it’s nothing, but if you had not helped me, even if Elliott did not throw me away because of my importance to Tait, I will not have it this easy. Back then you said I was too weak but now I have some power,” Princess Diana said.

Ellen understand what princess Diana wanted but she did not know what to ask in return. She knew that unless she collected something the princess will not be at peace.

” it like this, I do not have anything I need from you now. How about you owe me a favor. I promise in the future my request will not be unreasonable,” Ellen could only deal with the situation this way.

Princess Diana nodded her head in agreement. Just then someone else walked into the dining hall. Princess Diana and Ellen looked over.

” Lady Catherine ” they were both surprised to see her there.

Lady Catherine was also shocked to meet Princess Diana. The king had asked her to visit the Palace this afternoon. When she arrived the prince was said to be dealing with something so she decided to look for Ellen since the two of them were no longer at each other’s throats.

She did not expect to meet an old enemy there. Lady Catherine’s reason for being angry with princess Diana was justified in her heart. After all, the three of them should have been on the same boat but they have betrayed her at the last moment to save herself.

Lady Catherine did not think that she had never been friendly to princess Diana so she had no right to expect her to be loyal to her.

“your highness,” Lady Catherine bowed. Since she was now the queen they all had to respect her. Ellen nodded her head and gestured for lady Catherine to take a seat.

The dining hall became awkward. After all princess, Diana was also holding grudges against Lady Catherine. Although her plan had failed it did not mean she would forgive.

“Your highness, I thank you for your help once again. In return you have to be careful of the snakes in the grass,” Princess Diana said. She sounded like she was ready to leave but she did not make any move.

Lady Catherine sneered. How could she not understand that she was the snake princess Diana is talking about.

” That’s right your highness, it is not just the snake hidden in the grass but the ones that bite in the dark. Trust me their venom is most deadly,” Lady Catherine replied. She was calling princess Diana a backstabber.

Ellen nodded her head. She understood the meaning hidden in their words.” you two have given me such good advice today. I must keep it close to my heart. It is only stupidity that makes someone assume that others will be nice to them because they’re nice. In any case one can not expect that a person they have stepped all over and mock will save them when they are falling from the cliff,” Ellen had a warm smile on her face when she spoke.

The two ladies felt like they have received a slap on the face after hearing Ellen’s words.

Daina knew that Ellen was calling her stupid for expecting Lady Catherine to be nice to her since she had not done anything to hurt her.

Meanwhile, lady Catherine was been unreasonable for expecting princess Daina to save when she (princess Diana) could get hurt in the process. The truth remains that she had never been friendly to princess Diana.

If anything she always treated her like dirt. So how could she expect her to save her when she may get hurt in the process.

She realized that she had no right to feel betrayed by princess Diana, after all, they were not friends. She had been too proud and thought too highly of herself

So just like that, the dining hall fell quiet. None of these ladies had the words to reply to Ellen for a short moment. They both felt ashamed.

“you are right,” Princess Diana was the first to speak after some time. Lady Catherine nodded in agreement. The hall fell quiet again.

Soon a maid Wal in.

“Lady Catherine, the king demands your presence,” the maid announced.
