Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 355

A few minutes later.

Two knocked on the door to the king’s study. A man with one hand and his head bowed were standing next to him.

“enter,” they heard Sébastien’s permission. Two pushed the door open. He allowed the man in front of him to step in then he shut the door without going in.

Just after Two shut the door, lady Catherine came over with Eight leading the way. The door was pushed open after getting permission.

Lady Catherine walked into the study. To be honest lady Catherine was not sure why the prince had summoned her.

Previously even when she heard her father was still alive she did not have to guts to go over and look. Moreover, she knew he would die anyway.

It was better for her to assume that he died in the battle of the truth. Besides she was familiar with her father so she knew he might not want her to see his miserable state.

Moreover, it was great to know that her father’s death had nothing to do with her. It was not that she hated him but it would have been difficult for her to live normal with such a pang of guilt in her heart.

She would have thought he was calling her to see her father. But she knew he was already sent out of the kingdom the next day after the news went around the kingdom.

“your Majesty,” Lady Catherine bowed to the king. Since she could not guess why she was called she decided not to worry herself and wait for the king to explain himself.

After greeting the king, she noticed his mother, previously she called her your highness but she was no longer the Queen, so she was confused about her she was supposed to address lady Magret.

“Greeting to you,” she bowed to lady Magret. Since she did not know how to address her now, she decided not to address her at all. After all, that was better than using to wrong address.

Lady Magret nodded her head, she could understand the complications for lady Catherine. She was no longer a member of the royal family so her confusion was understandable.

Just as lady Catherine was about to take her seat she caught sight of the last man in the room, her breath seized unconsciously.

She blinked her eyes a couple of times and secretly bite her inner chick the pain rush o her brain making her deep breath.

She could not explain what was going on. She clearly saw this man get killed. “You..” Lady Catherine managed to say but no words came out.

She took a deep breath to calm herself she has already lost her composition for some time. After calming down a bit she carefully examine the man.

“How was he alive?” he was beheaded. While there was a logical explanation why the Queen did not stab her father to death before, they were non regarding this man. After all his head was caught off in the presence of many people.

“miracle” at the thought lady Catherine was happy but then the smile on her face froze. If her had not been dead all the while then why did he not contact her? ‘ she was no longer as stupid as before.

After everything that happened to her in the last few days, she was more clear-headed no longer so full of herself.

“How are you alive,” she noted out the question in a fast speech. She did not want to stammer again. Perhaps it was because of her father returning from the dead, she managed to compose herself at least on the surface.

Julia looked at her shocked. He had not expected this kind of reaction from her. He knew she will be surprised to see him. He also expected her to run over and hug him to confirm her eyes but everything was different.

Julia knew for a fact that lady Catherine liked him a lot. Although she was stubborn her fondness of him was good. But now she was acting cold towards him.

This was beyond his imagination so he did not know what to say. The mother and son looked at each other and did not have any plans to say anything. They were there to watch the reaction.

Previously, lady Magret has brought Prince Julia returned with prince Julia. She thought that when the truth about her son not being king Roderick Son, the lords and noble will reject him and ask for the king’s son but when the truth was exposed, the lords and noble did not want to have anything to do with the man and his children so there was no need to bring him out.

Since lady Catherine was his wife Sébastien decided to invite her over. It was her choice if she wanted to continue the marriage between her and Julia. They have specifically not brought him out to join the royal family because they (Sébastien, lady Magret and Ericsson), wanted to kick him out of the family.

“you… Did you lose your tongue,” Lady Catherine asked. She should have been happy to see him, but she knew that this man might have been using her.

“let’s talk outside,” Julia suggested.  He knew his brother will not care even if he lies to his wife.

“No, I am sure his majesty and his mother know the truth. What I want to hear is the truth,” Lady Catherine said. She knew she was not as clever as Ellen but she has learned a little from her.

As a woman who carries her family responsibility, she must not be selfish and think just about her so-called happiness.

So she believes that Julia will only be honest with her when these two (Sébastien and his mother) were present. She refused to let herself get brainwashed again. She was no longer stupid.

“I… I..,” Julia did not know what to say. If he lied while Sébastien and his mother were present and Catherine find out she would lose his trust.

“Father, helped me escape the kingdom and found someone in my place. At that time you had to serve your punishment, so father promised to let you know the truth after you were done with your punishment in the crown prince quarter.” Julia explained.

Lady Catherine nodded her head. (I came to visit you in the dungeon, as of that time did you know you will not be killed?” she asked. Lady Catherine could still remember her discussion with her father before he want to fight the Queen.

She had a feeling that Julia wanted to use her like a knife to deal with Ellen and the crown prince.

” No, ” Julia lied. He knew for a fact that if Catherine found out that he knew the truth at that moment, she will not want to have any to do with him again.

Catherine’s thinking is simple, if he lied to her back then, just to use her for revenge then he could be lying now. So she was relieved to hear him. Just when she wanted to walk over she paused.

“Even if you do not know then, at the point you found out or just before you left, you could have sent me a message if you wanted to. So why not? Lady Catherine asked
