Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 379

Seeing that the king was cooperative Ellen asked more questions. “what will be their punishment?” she asked.

“I have relieved Jeffery of his duty and I will do sane when One returns,” Sébastien answered.

When Ellen heard this answer she took a deep breath in relief, at least they would not die. After calming, Ellen realized that this punishment was no different from killing them.

These two men were very loyal to the king if they got dismissed in such a manner their lives will become meaningless to them.

Ellen wanted to help them but she knew Sébastien was not the type to change his mind. Sébastien was still worried about Ellen, seeing that Ellen had fallen into deep thought he tried to check her temperature again but just like before Ellen moved away.

“I really did not hit them,” Sébastien said he thought that she doubted his words.

“I know,” Ellen nodded her head. A plan had formed in her mind.

“If you know why are you avoiding me?” Sébastien asked. He knew that if he really wanted Ellen to say what was on her mind he should ask.

“What is your punishment?” Ellen asked in a calm voice. She was looking at the king with an accusation gaze again.

“Why should I be punished?” Sébastien felt like his understanding of their language was lacking.

“What do you mean, you asked Jeffery and One to leave for failing their duties, what about the person that caused the accident?” Ellen raised her brows in a challenge.

Sébastien looked at Ellen, he could not tell if she was playing around or his ears heard wrong. ” what do you mean? ” Sébastien could only ask this.

” I mean that since those who failed their duty got punished should the person who caused the accident not be punished. Do you not find it unfair to let that person go?” Ellen’s voice was firm and serious.

Sébastien was speechless. Judging from Ellen’s face she was not joking and also nothing was wrong with his hearing.  ” Are you saying someone caused the accident? ” Sébastien decided to clarify things. He did not have the chance to find out what happened yesterday so he decided to get details from Ellen.

Maybe someone had pushed or done something that made her fall into the water.

” yes, ” Ellen stated in a matter-of-fact voice.

When Sébastien heard her he nodded his head. It turned out that this was what she was referring to. He must have just misunderstood her, thinking she thought he should be punished.

“who cause the accident?” Sébastien asked, he already suspected Ellen’s stepsister or her cousin.

“You” Ellen pointed an accusing finger at him.

Sébastien…

He did not know how to respond, did some of the water get into her head, causing her to miss up things? He asked himself.

“Me?” He asked to be sure that the problem was not coming from his hearing.

“yes,” Ellen nodded.

Sébastien was speechless again, indeed Ellen must have hit her head or the water got into her head. How could he cause her an accident when he was not even there?

“It was not me,” Sébastien replied after thinking for some time.

“It was you,” Ellen replied in a firm voice.

Seeing her like this Sébastien began to wonder if she mistook Jeffery for him. This was not impossible since Jeffery is his body doubler.

“How can it be me, I was not even there,” Sébastien reasoned out.

“So?” Ellen raised how brows.

“So… Since I was not present, it not possible for me to cause your accident. Moreover, you have only chosen that waterfall today it is impossible for me to have set trap ahead of time,” Sébastien defend himself. He was feeling so wrong.

He did not sleep the entire night and worried about her, yet the first thing she did after waking up is worry about others and accuse him. Sébastien was not happy about it at all.

if I had not been distracted thinking about how to “convince you that I have never had a lover I will not have missed my steps and ended up falling,” Ellen stated in a firm tone. She looked at Sébastien and her gaze seem to be saying ‘I dare you to refuse my words,’

Facing this kind of accusation Sébastien did not know how to defend himself. This was because he already Blane himself for getting angry and not accompanying her to the mountain.

If he was there nothing would have happened to his sunshine, now that she accused him he could do nothing but accept the blame.

“What is my punishment?” Sébastien’s voice sounded humble. Ellen was dumbfounded, although she knew she can make a good argument and stop the king from sending Jeffery and One away, she did not expect him to accept so easily.

Moreover, he looked so him3that Ellen was beginning to wonder if he was really her husband, the most feared man in the twelve kingdoms, or the person before she was a look-alike.

“say it, I will accept it,” Sébastien said seeing that Ellen had no plans of saying anything.

“I dare not your majesty” Ellen shook her head.

Sébastien looked at Ellen for some time not knowing what to say, “If you do not have a punishment in mind then why did you bring it up?” Sébastien was very smart, he knew that Ellen was up to something he did not just know what.

“I can not punish you, but since you are the king you should judge fairly. Jeffery and One were meant to protect me but they failed so you sent them away. You are my husband, you said you loved me and would protect me but yet you made me worried and I almost lost my life, Your Majesty do you not think the punishment so be the same,? ” Ellen’s eyes were calm.

” What? ” Sébastien was short of words after realizing the meaning of her words. What Ellen meant to say was that since does two failed and lost their job, he also failed but it was not in his duty as a king but it was his duty as a husband so he should lose his title.

” Never” Sébastien shouted. How could he let go of his sunshine?

“Okay,” Ellen did not insist.. Seeing that Ellen did not continue to argue, Sébastien took a deep breath but he caught the small smile on Ellen’s lips and realized that he has fallen into her trap.
