Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 360

Ellen was so scared and could not understand why, but until she was certain the king was alive she could not rest, one must never underestimate the power of surprise.

When Ellen got to the study, she push the door open without knocking, she could not tell what gave her the confidence to do such a thing, Maybe because she was too worried or the fact that she was no longer scared of king Sabastian

“My king,” Ellen took a deep breath when she saw Sebastian seated majestically, with just a glance she could tell that Sabastian was fine. Moreover, with her sensitive nose, she would have picked up the smell of blood no matter how faint if there was any.

Sebastian was amazed seeing that Ellen was the one who walked in, when someone suddenly pushed his door open, he was very angry.

He was ready to scold or even punish the person who dared to open his study door without knocking but, all the anger melted when he heard his Sunshine’s voice call him “my King” he knew there was nothing special about it but when it come from her he finds the name very sweet.

‘Maybe I should stop others from calling me this’ Sebastian thought to himself but he soon notices the worry on Ellen’s face. “What is the matter?”  Sebastian asked.

Ellen who just managed to catch her breath answered immediately. “I ran into Julia on my way here, I thought I saw a ghost but then I realize he was still alive. I got worried and…” Ellen stopped talking.

Sebastian had his eyes and ears everywhere, surely Julia would never make it into the Palace without him knowing. Thinking about this Ellen felt stupid for worrying unnecessarily about the king.

She was so embarrassed that she did not dare complete her Statement. “I  apologize for overreacting,” after saying these words, Ellen immediately turned to walk away.

Sebastian who was feeling warm become alert, even if Ellen had not finished her statement, it was easy for him to guess why she was worried.

She just saw Julia and worried that he did something to him. Although it should have been funny for someone to worry about him because of twenty Julia but one Julia made his sunshine worried and it warmed his heart.

He was confused when she suddenly apologize. Why? Did she think he was angry? He wondered. Sebastian has not had anybody to care for and worry about him, during his young age, his mother had dared to take him to the hunted house in the forbidden forest after which she sent him to war.

He has fought so many wars at such a young age. The only time he got seriously injured, it was still his sunshine that treated him and took care of him.

The feeling of being cared for and not being used as a tool like the late king and his mother was different.

Maybe his mother really cared and worry about him, but she never showed it. “I am not angry,” Sebastian’s voice stopped Ellen who was almost at the door.

Ellen turned to look at him and nodded her head. “How long have you known that Julia is alive?” She asked.

“I have always known,” Sebastian said without giving it much thought. Ellen was shocked. It means the king was aware that he was not the one that was beheaded all along but why did he not tell her? If not back then he should have told her now that he let him back into the kingdom, unless Julia just returned today.

Ellen was not a person who wanted to live based on assumptions so she decided to find answers. “How long has he been in the palace? Her question was direct.

“A few days, he returned from Venum with Mother,” Sebastian answered honestly. When Ellen heard this, her eyes widened in surprise, she did not understand how the king could keep something like this from her for so long.

If not for her sensitive nose she might have gone crazy. Of course, she understands what game Julia was playing earlier, if he dared to do that during the day what will he do at night? Luckily she figured it out in time.

Ellen became angry, She did not even bother to school her expression before stunning out of the place. She was so worried when she found out about Julia’s presence in the palace even when she knew her husband was not an easy target but him…

When Sebastian saw her reaction he could tell she was upset but he did not know what he did wrong. Knowing his sunshine she will never complain, instead, she will give him cold shoulder later. With this thought in mind, King  Sebastian stood up his feet and followed after her.

When he got out of the study he saw Ellen take the left turn so he followed her. At first, he wanted to catch up with her and find out what made her so angry but changed his mind, and decided to see what his sunshine was up to instead.

Ellen was not aware that she was been followed, she turned and walked out from the side entrance of the palace, she planned to go over to where Richard was staying with the rest of her relatives, but suddenly caught sight of a beautiful garden, she had stayed in the Crown Prince’s quarters from the time of her arrival, this was her first time seeing this garden, so she walked over to enjoy the beautiful sight.

As soon as she walked into the garden, she was welcomed with the sweet smell of Roses, She looked at the beautiful Rosebeds not just the smell but the sight of the roses was beautiful she wanted to bend down and pick the rose but she remembered the sharp thugs on time and stopped herself. Taking a deeper walk into the garden she saw different flowers with sweet scents.

Her mood that was bad before improved, after walking a distance in the garden she saw a small water pond. She did not know why but she suddenly felt like a peer of eyes were watching her every step but when she looked around she could not see anyone.

Ellen found a place to sit close to the pond and picked up stones as she began to throw them into the pond. This activity was supposed to be fun but thinking of her encounter with Julia not long ago her mood become bad again.

“So annoying, if only he had told me about Julia’s return, would I have made a fool of myself?” Ellen complains as she throws the next stone strongly with anger.

She felt embarrassed just thinking about how scared she was, “It’s all his fault,” Ellen murmured she wanted to curse the king to her satisfaction but words failed her.

This annoyed her greatly. “Stupid idiot, ” Ellen could only say these words. She was not even sure if these words were for her or for king Sabastian.
