Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 368

“Answer me?” Sebastian asked, although his voice was not loud it was too cold and unfriendly. It reminded Ellen of the first royal ball she attended. Sebastian had also been this angry when he saw her together with Julia but she had no idea what he was talking about.

She began to wonder if her good sister had said something that lead to a misunderstanding. When Princess Ema suddenly appear at dinner time the previous day Ellen felt she was up to something.

She also notice that Ema kept looking at the king from time to time. It has always been Ema’s way to convert what belongs to her (Ellen). So when Sebastian started to ask her about a lover she could not help but think that Ema has said something.

“No, I have never had one,” Ellen answered seeing that the king’s gaze was so sharp.

“You are not lying to me?” Sebastian asked. Although whatever happened in her past before their marriage should not count but now that someone has declared war against Avalo because of her he could not help it.

“I dare not,” Ellen nodded her head, she wanted to move closer to him but she was afraid that he might chock her like he did last time so she stayed put.

Sebastian looked at her, somehow he felt she was been sincere but he could not help but doubt her. A man will not think of going to war for a woman that did not know him.

It must be that the two of them were close, even if they were not lovers they would have cared so much about each other.

It was crazy to be angry about this but Sebastian could not help it, He walked out of the room afaird that if he continues to stay he hurt Ellen.

Ellen was surprised by his behavior but she was relieved that he did not hurt her. She cursed Ema in her heart, as she was the only one Ellen could suspect of deliberately misleading the king.

It was still early but there was no way Ellen will be able to sleep after what happened, so she went ahead to take her bath and dress up before her maids come in.

Last night Sebastian had agreed that under the guide of Jeffery and One, they could go and she the mount at the south part of the kingdom that had a waterfall. They were supposed to leave after breakfast but Ellen could not tell if the king has changed his mind.

“My queen, you woke up so early today,” Rosa said. Ellen simply nodded her head. Since there were still two hours before breakfast Ellen decided to investigate and find out how the king concluded that she used to have a lover.

Seeing the way Sebastian left the room, she was sure he did not belive her. The person she felt could have the answer was Jeffery.

At that time, Jeffery was in the training ground and One offered to lead the way there. Ellen rejected the idea, since they were busy she doubt she would have the chance to speak to Jeffery, so she decided to wait till breakfast. At least, they will be given half an hour break at that time.

Since this was the case Ellen tried to busy herself reading a book, but she was distracted. She knew that if she did not clear the air between her and the king soon things might become more complicated.

Ellen did not know if it had something to do with her but the next two hours were so slow. Finally, it was time for breakfast. Ellen went over to the dining hall where the king will have his meals. This dining hall could only be used by the king and his wives. Since Ellen was his queen, she entered the hall freely but Sebastian was no were to be found.

She wait, even till half an hour into breakfast time, the king did not come over. One confirmed that they were still at the training ground so Ellen decide to go over. She could no longer sit idle and wait.

When they got to the training ground, Ellen was shocked. The smell of blood was what welcome her. This should be a training found, why did it smell and look like a battleground.

Ellen turned to look at One, One seems to have read her thoughts. “I heard the king is preparing for war, when we train for war things get out of hand,” he offered a logical explanation.

This was the first time since One started following Ellen that he felt blessed. How could he not know why the training was so intended? The King was definitely not satisfied with something, now the poor soldiers will be pushed to train harder.

Those men that have followed Sebastian for long know better than to stay close to Sebastian while training. The victims were those who have never trained with him.

On the side, Jeffery was standing and looking at the soldiers who have been for training hard. It was already half an hour into their rest time but the king refused to give them a break. Jeffery knew that this was just the beginning, the king was going to continue pushing them all day late into the night. especially since the king sent out words that all generals should come over to the training ground after breakfast.

“Why are you just standing?” Sebastian. Jeffery was scared but his face remain emotionless. “Your Majesty I will still guide the Queen later,” Jeffery said. He was not stupid to pick up the sword.

Sebastian was about to scold him when he got sight of Ellen walking towards him. He did not know why but just seeing her made him calm down. Sebastian was not angry at his sunshine, maybe irritated, if Emperor Vanish did not live across the sea, Sebastian might have led men to kill the man.

How dare he have sure thought towards his wife.

“Why are you here,” Sebastian asked the moment Ellen was close enough.. His voice was not so cold but it was not nice as usual.
