Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 354

Inside the king’s study.

This was the first time lady Magret was stepping into the king’s study since her encounter with lord Thompson.

“You clean up everything,” Lady Magret was amazed at the chance in the study. Apart from being in the same location, everything else was changed.

“I do not want to remember him every time I steep in,” Sébastien answered plainly. Lady Magret nodded in agreement. She did not want to be reminded of that man either.

“Your wife is very proud,” Lady Magret changed the topic.

“she should be, as a queen you do not expect her to allow herself be stepped on do you?,” Sébastien replied.

“good, very good, you are taking her side. Do not forget that I am your mother,” Lady Magret was not happy about her son’s choice of words she expected him to apologize at the very least.

“you are my mother, I know that,” Sébastien replied. What he really meant to say was that she was his mother, this was the only reason he will not throw her out of the Palace for making his sunshine’s life difficult.

Lady Magret did not miss this hint in his words. She has raised him and did she understand him very well. She was even more angry. She had sacrificed everything for him to be who he is, how could he treat her like that.

“So does this mean you are going to allow her to continue to be disrespectful to me?” Lady Magret asked.

Sébastien looked at his mother, he could see her frustration. “Tell me mother, when has she disrespected you?” Sébastien asked. He knew his sunshine. She was a sharp tongue but she will not openly be disrespectful to his mother.

Even if her words were disrespectful it was impossible for one to lay claim on it. Lady Magret open her mouth to answer but no words came out.

It did not take her long to realize that the girl has smartly insulted her without using any insulting words.

If she complain about what she said, everyone will think she was narrow-minded. “if you can give me three examples of where and how my wife the Queen has been disrespectful to you then I will have her apologize and you can choose the punishment,” Sébastien said. His voice sounded sincere.

Of course, he dared to say those words because he was certain that his mother will not be able to have three of those times. In the months that they have been married Ellen has only been alone with his mother twice. The other time he was present and he was sure she did not directly insult or disrespect her.

As long as the number was not complete his promise did not stand.

“You do not expect me to remember such a thing do you?” Lady Magret was embarrassed since she could not mention one.

It was obvious that the girl did not respect her but she had not shown it out openly. ‘she is too smart’ this was what lady Magret hated about Ellen the most. She has been so smart and scheme but Ellen had never fallen for her tricks.

Lady Magret thought she was worried for her son because a woman like her could easily hurt him but the truth was her ego was hurt.

“I am just worried for you,” Lady Magret could only say this.

“Mother, it is a good thing that you worry for me but I am not stupid,” Sébastien replied. Lady Magret wanted to argue but she was at loss for words.

Sébastien was not stupid, this is a fact. “I am your mother, she should call me mother, this is the right thing to do,” Lady Magret said.

She wanted to bend Ellen to her will. In the past, she thought she controlled her son because he always listened to her but Ellen’s stubbornness was going to hinder that.

She could not stomach Ellen’s stubbornness. Even lady Catherine back then try to win her favor.

“you are my mother and she is my wife. That makes her your daughter-in-law. Have you ever treated her like your daughter?” Sébastien asked. He knew his mother disapprove of his marriage to Ellen. The only reason why she had not been making things difficult for her was because she was a pure heart capable of curing his case.

Lady Magret felt tongue-tied. She knew what her son meant. As the elder she has not shown an example so what right did she have to make demands.  ‘But how on earth has Ericsson treated her like family to make her call him ‘uncle’ lady Magret could not figure out when or why. So she felt Ellen was up to no good.

“Mother, I am not asking you to like her or treat her like a daughter. If you like do not recognize her as my wife in your heart but you can not cross the line. She is currently the queen and you have to give her that respect.

Moreover, you know how important she is. What if you angry her and she becomes depressed? Worst what if she gets pregnant but because of you she miscarriage the child and she is no longer able to bear a child?

If you do not like her you can stay away, ” Sébastien said.

When lady Magret heard his words, she swallowed. It was already a fact that her son needed her help. If not for anything but for the sake of the cure she had to live peacefully with Ellen.

” fine,” Lady Magret had no choice but to agree. If she continues to go after the princess after her son has said so much, he might misunderstand her and think she did not want him to get cured. She felt very guilty about what she did to her son back then, so she was willing to stay mute until Ellen gave birth to a child.

When Sébastien heard her reply he was relieved. As long as his mother will let go for the time bring, He was sure that she will learn to like her(Ellen) after the two will got close. After all, it will take over nine months for Ellen to give birth even if he managed to pant his seed the previous night.

At that moment there was a knock on the door.

“Come in, ” Sébastien said. Eight pushed the door opened and bowed.

” your Majesty, lady Catherine has arrived,” Eight who stepped in reported.

“Is he here?” Sébastien asked his mother.

“yes,” Lady Magret nodded her head.

“Get them both,” Sébastien instructed.

Eight bowed his head and walked out.
