Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 367

When Dark heard this he was not scared at all. If anything he believed that the king believe him and was only trying to scare him a little. This confidence came from the fact that his lies have been very logical and the fact that the king had listened without using any torture on him.

Sebastian looking at him straight in the eyes like this made him scared but he remain unmoved.

“All I have said is the truth,” his voice was calm and confident. One would have been easily fooled. Unfortunately, he was dealing with Sebastian.

“Then let me confirm,” Sebastian said.  Dark heard this he took a deep breath in relief. He thought the prince will go out and investigate. He was confident that whatever he will find will confirm his lies. After all, this has been his convey to walk about the twelve kingdoms.

Unfortunately, he was so wrong.

Still holding his gaze Sebastian started smiling. “Do you know how the maid you sent to serve my wife died?” When Dark heard this he could not remain calm.

He began to ask himself how much Sebastian knew. “And that Woman’s mother you sent to my bed. I feel you have been doing so much to separate me and my wife, this information does not add up to what you just said,” Sebastian’s voice was no longer calm, it was cold and Dark broke out in cold sweat.

“I.. I.., I did some things to confuse you,” Dark still managed to tell a logical lie. Of course, if Sebastian did not have his special powers to know that this man was behind this thing he would have suspected his brothers but then even if his answer was logical Sebastian has already decided to allow the man to live.

He wanted to know the man’s real purpose and his real master. The three kingdoms were involved like Dark claim then there was no point for the Army coming from across the sea to use the small kingdom by the Sea, they should have used Pontus.

As Sebastian continue to look at the man he began to change his appearance. Dark felt his breath cut in his thoat, nothing could have prepared him for what he saw. Before his brain could take in the appearance of the beast that now stoold before him, in place of the handsome king, his soul left his body without fighting.

His body fell to the ground when life left him. Without any reaction, the beast picked up the lifeless body throw him into the fireplace, and then he changed backed to Sebastian.  Sebastian walked out of the room as the smell of burning flesh filled the air.

“Your Majesty,” Jeffery bowed as he walked out.

“Woke up every Soldier in the palace, war is coming, let them train,” Sebastian instructed.

Jeffery had a few questions but seeing the king walk away, he decided to carry out the task given him first. He had been my Sebastian’s side long enough to know that the king was tensed about something.

Sebastian walked back into his chamber and looked at Ellen who was still sleeping peacefully. Usually, he will not have the heart to wake her up but he had a question and he could not wait for her to wake up. He will not be able to concentrate on other things if he did not get an answer.

He walked over to the bed and tapped her shoulder lightly. “Sunshine,” he called out. His voice was soft and pleasant to listen to.

Ellen was not a deep sleeper, she immediately open her eyes. The first thing she did after she woke up was to move closer to the king and kiss him.

Although she knew her life did not depend on it she had already become accustomed to it and she did not see a reason to stop.

Sebastian smiled and his tense shoulder relaxed a little. “Do you anyone called Vanish?” He asked.

Ellen looked at Sebastian, then she shook her head. Sebastian took a deep breath, I want you to think about it carefully,” Sebastian said after he saw Ellen shaking her head.

“I do not know,” Ellen replied. She was confused about the king’s question but she answered him seriously.

Sebastian sighed, “Do you know anyone back in Bozoa who does not look like he is from the twelve kingdoms,” Sebastian asked after some time, he felt that maybe Ellen knew his name differently.

After getting Dark’s memory, he could tell that some emperor from across the sea was after his sunshine. Although it did not seem like that from Dark’s memory Sebastian felt this was the case.

Ellen, on the other hand, thought deeply, she had made friends with a lot of the servants and commoners but she did not remember knowing any foreigner.

“No, My teacher who thought me to be a physician is the only person that I know that has crossed the sea but he is not a foreigner. In fact, his father is a small lord,” Ellen explains.

“This teacher, did he return with any student from across the sea?” Sébastien was very patient.

“I do not know, I only train with him in the last three years during my time in the camp of the injured,” Ellen answered. It was already years after the teacher came back to Bozoa, so Ellen was not sure if he had a student with him or not.

Sébastien felt frustrated. “Tell me did you have a lover before we got married?” he decided to ask the real question in his mind.

Surely, a stranger will not declare war against Avalo just because of Ellen if she was a stranger to him right? Moreover, from Dark memory, the man name Vanish has lived in the twelve kingdoms before. It was unfortunate that Dark did not know of the kingdoms. Even at that, Sebastian was sure that it had something to do with Ellen.

This was the only logical explanation that Sebastian could come up with

“What?” Ellen was surprised by his question. ‘lover? What does he mean lover?’ Ellen was honestly confused?
