Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 370
“Is there not a chance that he is targeting me just to get at his Majesty?” Ellen asked. She did not know how all the things that happen could be related to her.
“There is a chance, in fact, that is what I thought but the king come out from the room and announced that war was coming. He even sent for the general. I do not think the war has anything to do with the three kingdoms that had attacked us at Samor, my guess is, someone is using them as a shield,” Jeffery explained.
He had followed Sebastian for so long to understand the underline meaning of his action. For instance, he knew that if the war had anything to do with the three kingdoms, Sebastian would have just drawed his sword and attacked. These three kingdom was nothing for the king to worry about and call the Generals.
More so, an enemy in the dark is the hardest to conquer.
“So you are saying, there is another kingdom that wants to attack Avalo?” Ellen asked.
“Yes, and I think it is connected to you. If the person wants to provoke the king with you they should just kill you to step on his majesty ego but the person seems to want to separate the two of you,” Jeffrey put all the hints he had to come to this conclusion.
When Ellen heard this she was shocked, how could she be connected to a person she does not know? No wonder the king was suddenly asking her if she had a lover before.
“Is there no chance that the man is misleading us?” Ellen asked. She was certain this should have nothing to do with her. If the person was just trying to separate them he could just mislead them to the wrong conclusion.
“You do remember what you saw that morning when you followed his majesty for his morning ritual right?” Jeffery asked. Ellen nodded her head, the image still scared her how could she forget.
“That process reviled the truth, a person can not lie to himself right?” Jeffery said.
Ellen gave a helpless look, after listening to Jeffery she could understand why Sebastian will not believe her. She could not tell what he saw. “Could it be that I lost a part of my memory?” Ellen questioned herself.
One just listen to their discussion but he could not understand what they were talking about. He knew better than to ask about things concerning the king.
Ellen, on the other hand, was dazed, she began to think about all the questions that the king asked her in the morning and dig into her memory but she really did not know anyone from across the sea.
Her main problem was how to convince the king about it. She was still lost in her thoughts when they arrived at the mountainside. The scene was very beautiful but Ellen did not have the mind to enjoy it.
“Shall we climb up a little for a better view?” Danny suggested. Rose also wanted to try. Of course, there was a small part for them to use, so they just needed to follow the steps.
It was said that there was a cave up and people used to leave there in ancient time, so a part has existed there for a long time.
Two of the guards were left to keep an eye on the carriage while the rest of them climbed up the small hill.
All the while, Jeffery and One had their attention on Ellen. They both knew what will become of them if something was to happen to the Queen.
Princess Ema notice how the two of them paid attention to Ellen while the other guards were left to the rest of them. Ema has asked the maids that served in her quarters and she knew that Jeffery was referred to as the shadow of the king.
Even Generals and lords had to respect him, but the king gave him to protect Ellen. Ema could not understand what was so special about Ellen.
She was supposed to have a hard time in Avalo, yet she seem to be loved. Why? Ellen was too lucky, even the rumors about the crown prince of Avalo turned out to be fake Even when she had joined the royal family for dinner the previous day, the king’s mother did not make things difficult for her like she excepted.
If only Ema could turn back time, she would not make the same mistake of allowing Ellen to marry the crown prince of Avalo and become a queen.
“The view from up here is beautiful,” Danny said. Richard nodded his head but he was also a bit distracted. He could tell that there was something wrong with Ellen but he did not have a chance to ask.
From where they were standing they could see Avalo royal city, Eva even tried to guess the tall buildings that were easy to recognize.
They all chatted happily. Danny was especially excited, she walked over to the small water pond. Watching the falling water she felt like walking over to feel the water on her skin.
“Hey, how about we do something fun,” Eva said.
“What? Like, ask questions, and whoever fails to get under the waterfall?” Danny sounded interested, she was looking for an excuse to get into the water.
“What? That’s so dumb, I will not embarrass myself,” Princess Ema said in disgust.
“Dear sister, are you so dumb that you already know that you will definitely fail the questions and into the water?” Ellen raised her brows.
Even if she was a bit distracted she will not miss the chance to mock Ema. Princess Ema gritted her teeth, “I am not dumb but we got a different kind of education, ” Ema defended.
“That’s right, we know very little about Avalo,” Jane supported.
“How about sword fighting, my brother against prince Richard and then we can bet,” Rose said. Ever since Richard won Joe, Danny kept showing off about it.
“No,” Jeffery shook his head.
“Are you scared?” Danny asked, she was very proud of her man. She believes that even if Richard did not win against Jeffery he will not fare badly. Whether Richard won Jeffery or not will not be a shame on him.
“It’s not that, Prince Richard is still my cousin, can you not tell that whoever wins will not be a loss to her,” Jeffery pointed at his sister that made the suggestion.
