Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 359

Avalo Royal Palace

After queen Ellen left the palace, she decided to check on her husband. Since the kingdom was not fighting any war he could not be so busy.

On her way to the study, she ran into Julia, Julia was the first to notice her so he decided to scare her, In his mind, his life was the way it was because of her, If she had not seduced him back then he would not have gone after her and lost everything.

So he decided to hide behind one of the pillars, It was a known to everyone that he was already dead, so he was sure that the princess will go crazy after seeing him.

He hid himself and used his hand to mess his hair up. One look and someone will be scared out of his wit. Ellen had no idea what was going on, so she continues to walk gracefully.

Suddenly there was a strange sound and before Ellen could make sense of what was going on a shadow was standing in front of her. She was shocked and a gasp escape her lips.

When she saw that Julia was the one standing she was scared. Julia should be dead, he was beheaded.

Her first reaction was to run in fear but her feet were stuck to the ground in fear. Seeing this reaction Julia was satisfied. Ellen pinches herself. She closed her eyes to bear the pain.

When she opened them again Julia was gone. Just as she was about to breathe in relief she felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned back before she could stop herself.

Ellen wanted to screen but her voice was cut in her throat, her lips moved but no words came out. Never has she expected this situation. “Ghosts are not real,” she chanted to help herself calm down.

Julia was happy seeing her like this, just as Ellen calm herself down, she could no longer see him. Taking a deep breath she continued walking toward the king’s study and she meet Julia after taking two steps.

She was struck dumb. ‘What is going on?’ She never blames herself for Julia’s death, why will his ghost hunt her? She could not figure it out.

“What do you want?” She summoned her courage to ask. Although she knew if anyone saw her they will think she is out of her mind. But Ellen was not a coward. Since the ghost has appeared then she will deal with it.

Julia was shocked by her question, especially since there was no fear in her voice. It is not that Ellen was not scared, she just managed to ensure that she does show it in her voice.

The reaction on Julia’s face gave Ellen a chance to study him. Although she did not have good hearing like the king, her sense of smell was great.

She picked the faint smell of his perfume. ‘Why will a ghost have such smell?’ Ellen asked herself as she looked around the hallway to see if there was another person.

Seeing that Ellen was looking around Julia thought she acted that way because she was scared. He quickly hides himself.

When Ellen looked back to the spot Julia was standing, he was gone but she could still smell the perfume. She sniffs to follow the smell. Julia who was hiding behind the pillar was shocked when he saw her walking towards him. There was not enough time for him to change positions.

So Ellen found him hiding beside the pillar. Since Julia had walked quietly he did not expect her to find his hiding place. He planned to frighten her so much that any time she see him she will be scared out of her mind.

Ellen had a thought in her mind, and without giving it much thought she raised her hand. Before Julia could guess what she was up to, it was too late.

*pak* a slap echoed in the quiet hallway. Ellen had not expected that she would hit him. She saw him as a ghost, so she put a lot of force when she stick.

Julia’s chick turned red, he had to bite his lips not to cry out. He wanted to hit her back but he knew his brother make use of that as an opportunity to cut off his second hand so he stopped himself.

“How dare you slap me?” He raised his voice at her. Ellen was startled by his voice that she took two steps back. At this point, she was not sure of what was happening.

“You are alive?” Her voice came out as a question even if she meant to state the fact.

“Of course, I am alive. Do you think my father would really kill his favorite son… ” because of you and that bastard,” he said the other part of his statement to himself.

Before he could say whatever he felt like saying but things were different and he knew that he was hanging on a thin thread. To Julia, Sebastian was keeping him alive because he was valuable although, he does not know what his so-called brother wants from him, he did not dare push his luck.

“How is this possible?” Ellen’s heart was beginning to beat fast. Although she knew how strong her husband is, she could not stop herself from worrying.

She turned around and started walking at a fast pace towards her husband’s Study. She hoped and prayed that nothing has happened to him.

Ellen’s steps were too fast, so Julia did not get the chance to stop her. He also realized that the Princess was not as simple as they all thought.

He knew that his father had tried more than once to poison her but the girl was still alive. Back then they thought it was the crown prince that saved her but Julia was beginning to doubt that.

Ellen was beautiful, Julia will give her that, but he could not understand why Sebastian suddenly married her. He also doubt that it was like they thought.

If Sebastian wanted to marry a woman to annoy his father why did he not pick one all the while he was fighting other wars. Why Ellen?

Julia thought about it but could not figure anything out for a long time. Finally, an idea struck his mind.

“She is a witch, she must have bewitched the king”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt he was right, After all, Ellen did not shout when she saw him, instead, she seems to be murmuring something to herself.

“A spell she must have been trying to banish me back to the land of the dead,” Julia came to a conclusion.
