Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 362

When Sébastien saw her reaction, he chuckled. “I already heard you cursing me and I did not eat you up right?” Sébastien tried to make her see that he would not get angry as long as she come out openly but Ellen did not seem like she would dare.

“If I catch you cursing me behind my back in the future, the consequences will not be simple,” Sébastien threatened since his kind words were not taken seriously.

“I dare not,” your Majesty,” Ellen was already thinking of the best place to curse him without him finding out. “her heart” it did not take her a minute to come to this conclusion. “The King will not be able to read my heart right?” Ellen thought

“Then you should tell me when you feel offended, do not forget I can read your mind,” Sébastian said.

When Ellen heard this she was so scared. She actually believed him. After all, his statement and her thought were the same. She just thought about him being unable to read her mind and he answered. If only she knew that her facial expression was what gave her away.

Seeing Ellen nod her heard, he felt satisfied. He was just about to kiss her on the lips for being obedient when he picked up approaching steps even if they were not loud.

Ellen did not hear anything she was anticipating his kiss. “Your Majesty,” the sudden voice made Ellen shy that she immediately buried her head in the king’s chest.

“ruined” Sébastien was angry at the person who dared to ruin his moments with his sunshine.

The servant who was walking past felt weak knees. “should I have walked past without greeting?” he asked himself.

Sebastian on the other hand decided to ignore the servant anyway. He tapped on Ellen’s Shoulder but she refuse to raise her head, Sebastian did not give up,  he cupped her face and raised it gently.

When the servant saw he was been ignored and the king did not bother to look at him, he escape from there as quietly as possible. He was scared of seeing more things that could cost his eyes.

“I saw his majesty was following the Queen,” inside the palace a few maids and guards that saw Ellen and Sebastian leave one after the other started to gossip.

“Of course, why else was the king walking so slow, to me it felt like he did not want the Queen to know he was following her,” a guard said.

“Yes, yes, the look the king shot me when I was about to greet him was so scary. I felt he would have killed me if I did not get his hint.,” another guard said.

“Ha? But why will his majesty act like that? Do you think the queen is about to do something bad and the king wanted to catch her in the act?” One maid said.

“It’s possible,” another maid supported.

“But the Queen did not seem to be sneaking around,” the first guard aired his opinion. Of course, as a guard, he should be able to notice all this from a person’s movement.

“So, perhaps she was acting that way because she did not want to raise any suspicion,” a maid said.

“Mm, or why else do you think the king will follow after her,” the second guard said.

” whatever, this has nothing to do with us,” the first guard decides to end the gossip. Some of them still wanted to say something but feared that they may lose their tongue if the king heard them so they all shut their mouths.

Lady Magret quarter

“Are you really going to pick a wife in two days?” Lady Magret asked Ericsson, Since Ellen mentioned it in the dining hall lady Magret has been feeling uncomfortable even if she acted nonchalantly.

Ericsson paused and looked at her, He wanted to be able to read her, but as usual, her face gave nothing away. “At first, I did not want to, but then after talking with Sebastian I changed my mind,” Ericsson replied.

When lady Magret heard his answer she felt bitter. She could not explain the feeling. “What did Sebastian say to you?” Lady magret was curious.

“He said that Edward will not find rest if I used the rest of my life taking care of him. He was already old enough to take care of himself. It was time that I raise my own family,” Ericsson replied. Although lady Magret’s expression did not change much she could tell that she was not happy.

“He is right,” Lady Magret nods her head but her tongue felt bitter. It was like someone has forced a bitter liquid down her throat but she could not understand why she felt this way.

Not wanting to continue the topic that was making her angry for no reason lady Magret immediately change the topic.

“The queen seems to like you very much, how did you do it?” She asked.

“What do you mean? You were the one that introduced us to each other Moreover, she does not treate me special,” Ericsson replied. He did not understand what lady Magret was trying to drive at.

“How can you say she does not treate you special? She called you ‘Uncle’ ” lady magret emphasizes on her last word.

When Ericsson heard her he looked surprised. “If not uncle what else will she call me?” He asked innocently. He knew why lady Magret was saying all that but he enjoyed teasing her.

Lady Magret was used to bending people to her will, so it was refreshing for her to be at loss for one.

“Nonsense, she calls me my lady, then she should call you your highness or prince Ericsson,” lady Magret was annoyed. Especially after her son’s warning. No matter how much she wanted to teach Ellen a lesson she will have to wait until her son is cured.

“So, what does it have to do  with me, if she does not acknowledge you as ‘Mother’?” Ericsson raised his brows.

“She does not have a choice, since she married my son, then she will have to give me the respect I deserve,” lady Magret declared.

“Then what if she does not recognize you as her husband’s mother,” Ericsson asked. He did not even understand why she was making a big deal of this, but it was refreshing to see her like this.

“What do you mean?” Lady Magret was offended. How can Ellen dare to question her status as Sebastian’s mother?

“Calm down, I used the word If” Ericsson clarify.

“Nonsense, I have been trying to figure out why that princess will not call me mother even when I directly asked her, it turns out that she questions my character,” Lady Magret refuses to listen to Ericsson.

“I think you are overthinking,” Ericsson replied.

“You… Why are you defending her?” Lady Magret turned into a Hunter trying to catch his prey.

Ericsson was speechless.
