Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 378

After Sebastian was done feeding Ellen the medicine he cast a glance at the physician, “How long before she wake’s up?”  He asked.

“We can not be certain about this, at the most by morning,” the Physician replied. Sebastian nodded his head.

The physician did not dare stay any longer, “You majesty there should be an improvement in her pulse in a few minutes, this is a sign that the awaking herb has taken effect,” the physician said. Sébastien nodded his head in understanding.

This meant that if after a few minutes and Ellen’s pulse did not improve something had gone wrong. When the physician saw the king’s response, he bowed his head and left the room with all the things he had arrived with.

Sébastien looked at Ellen whose eyes were still close. “you have scared me enough for one day, please wake up,” Sébastien whispered. After saying this he adjusted Ellen into a more comfortable position and made sure she was covered properly.

After which he changed out of his clothing, by the time he returned to Ellen’s bedside again he could tell that her pulse had indeed improved. This was indeed good news for him.

It was already late at night, but Sébastien did not dare go to sleep, instead he move a chair and decided to watch Ellen.

Toward the morning, Ellen seem to be much better, her heartbeat was regular but her body became hot.

Sébastien sigh but since it was just her body Temperature, Sébastien whipped her head with a cold cloth.

The night pass quickly and the next morning Sébastien went out of his room he met Jeffery standing at the door as usual. He knew the man had fallen sick yesterday. He even lost consciousness.

“Why are you here?” Sébastien’s voice was cold. He was still angry at Jeffery but he did not want him to neglect his health.

No matter what Jeffery was related to Ellen and he was scared that if something happened to her cousin he would blame him. Frankly speaking, if Jeffery was not related to Ellen Sébastien would have killed him already.

“Your Majesty, it is my duty,” Jeffery answered. Although Jeffrey tried to make his voice firm, Sébastien could still tell that he was still sick.

“you do not have to worry about this duty anymore, leave with your family tomorrow. Your life is the respect I will give to my Queen,” after saying this Sébastien walked away.

His step was very fast it was impossible for Jeffrey to catch up since he was sick.

*Cough

Jeffery was surprised, he thought he would live his life and die protecting Sébastien he never expected a thing like this. He also did not dare to want to argue or plead with the king. He did not dare try the king’s patient.

…

Sébastien returns to his chamber after his morning ritual. When he got into the room he was surprised but relieved to see that Ellen was seated on the bed. Her head was against the wall and her eyes were closed but as soon as he approached her Ellen opened her eyes.

Sébastien took a deep breath the stretched his hand to touch her. He wanted to check her temperature. Although she was normal when he left earlier, there was a chance that it had gone up again.

When Sébastien made to touch her she moved away like a plague was coming for her. This surprised Sébastien. Since they had become husband and wife Ellen has never avoided him in such a manner. Yes she would get scared, but this was not fear, it was as though his present annoyed her. ‘what did I do wrong?’ Sébastien asked himself. After thing about it for a few moments, he decided to ask. Knowing Ellen she will not take the initiative to speak.

“What’s wrong?” He looked at her calmly and sat down opposite her on the bed.

“where is Jeffrey and One?” Ellen asked ignoring his question. Ellen has been awake for some time. When she first opened her eyes she saw the servant arranging the king’s bath.

This scene was very familiar that she would not think much of it if she did not feel her head hurting. As she sat up, the tye memory of the previous day started to play in her mind.

She became worried for Jeffery and One, recalling what happened she knew that the king will not let them go, she just prayed that he did not kill them this will make her feel guilty.

“Jeffery is sick, One is on a mission,” Sébastien replied. Since One led a few men to go and look for the awaking herbs he was not back.

“you beat him up?” Ellen’s voice sounded like she was asking a question but her facial expression was that of accusation.

“No,” Sébastien shook his head, he felt wronged. Maybe Sébastien would have really beat does two to death, if Ellen’s situation had not been so serious. The king was too anxious to have the time to vent his anger. At that time all he wanted to do was ensure that Ellen was fine.

This gave him enough time to calm down and think things through. Even if Ellen was not close to Jeffery she was still his cousin and she was close to Jeffrey’s father. He knew that she will get angry if he really killed him.

“you are not lying to me?” Ellen found it hard to believe that Jeffery’s sickness has nothing to do with him(Sébastien). She also had a feeling that Sébastien might have sent One on a difficult mission as punishment.

“I will not lie to you,” Sébastien did not look like the feared king that sat on the throne. He looked like a young boy, who was answering to his mother.

Ellen nodded her head after thinking about it for some time, given how aggressive Sébastien is when he got angry he would have killed one and Jeffery if he beat them up.

“Punishment..?” Ellen’s tone turned soft, as long as their still alive there was hope that she will stop him from killing them.

“Hmm,” Sébastien nodded his head.
