Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 381
Sebastian found her request reasonable so he told her about emperor Vanish and all the things he learned from Dark’s memory.
Ellen was surprised she could not find anything in he memory that will connect her I a person like the Emperor across the sea.
“What if this is a misunderstanding, even if the man grew up in the twelve kingdoms you are not sure that it was Bozoa, this may not even be related to me,” Ellen said although she understand why the king believe it has something to do with her but then there was still a chance that he was wrong.
“There is a chance I am wrong, this is why I apologize to you again,” Sebastian said.
Ellen nodded her head, she did not blame him for drawing this concussion after all there is a big chance.
“I still want One to be my guard, he is trustworthy,” Ellen changed the subject again.
“No, he already failed,” this was something Sebastian was unwilling to negotiate with. All Sebastian’s men knew that he did not give second chances.
“Is there no chance that the new guard will make mistakes in the future?” Ellen asked.
Sebastian could not argue with her, his men were humans and there is a chance that a mistake will happen.
“Then give him another punishment let them stay, you know the two of them are capable and loyal. Even if they made a mistake they did their best to fix it,” Ellen said.
The reason why she wanted to help this two was not just because she liked them. In fact, her uncle will be so happy if Jeffery was allowed to return to Jeffery but she knew that Jeffery was capable and loyal to the king hence she will not allow Sebastian to let him go.
“No. ..” Sebastian insisted.
“Please, I may not know much but I know these two people are loyal to you. They are not like the others who obey become they are scared, this is the best kind of men to keep,” Ellen said.
Sebastian swallowed and did not say anything, in fact, he felt very happy. Previously he thought Ellen was defending the two simply because Jeffery is her cousin and she could not be unfair to One, but after hearing her last statement he knew that she also considered him.
After all, losing Jeffery was a big loss to him, Jeffery knew many of his secrets, although Sebastian was sure he will not use it against him even if he(jeffery) left him, it was still in his best interests if he stayed.
When Ellen saw that she no longer respond she knew he was thinking about it.
Sebastian raised his hand and touched her head, her temperature was a lot better but it was still too hot.
“I will feel much better after taking a bath, ” Ellen said. Sebastian did not know if this will be the case but he help her into the bathroom since he felt she was still weak.
…
“You are awake,” lady Magret comes over at breakfast time to find out about Ellen. Even if what happened yesterday was big the royal family kept it a secret. Even the guards that knew about it did not dare tell it to someone else.
“I am fine, My lady,” Ellen was very respectful when she spoke to lady Magret, even if she did not like the woman she could not go too far.
“Mother,” Sebastian welcomed her to join them, not long after that, Ericsson came. Over.
“Uncle,” Ellen smiled and welcome him. Ericsson was hoping that Ellen will still be resting in her room, that way he will find an excuse to cancel the royal ball or at least remove the segment where he needed to choose a wife.
Lady Magret roll her eyes, even if she did not want to care about Ellen’s indirect way of rejecting to call her mother.
“Uncle, what is your plan for choosing a wife today,” Ellen seem to be interested in the topic. By this time the maids were already severing the food.
Lady Magret frown her brows, although she never spoke against but for an unknown reason, this topic made her uncomfortable.
“I will leave it to lady Magret, after all, we can not have a scheming wife that will bring problems In the family,” Ericsson replied.
Ellen was surprised by his answer, how could he trust her to pick a wife. What if she picked someone she will use to control him. Ellen wanted to voice this out but she bite back the words on time.
She was not in a good place with lady Magret, not that she cared but it was best not to bite more than she could chew, so they eat their breakfast in silence.
After eating breakfast, they all went their separate way but Ellen received an unexpected visitor.
“Lady Emilia,” Ellen was surprised to see this person..”your highness” lady Emilia bowed. There was a smile on her like but Ellen did not have a good impression of her.
“Why are you here?” Ellen’s voice was calm but not friendly or respectful.
Lady Emila did not like Ellen’s behavior but she still swallowed her dissatisfaction. If her plan is to succeed she will have to be more patient.
“Your highness, I heard what happened yesterday and I decided to visit,” Lady Emilia was very calm when she said this.
“Then I must thank you for the concern,” Ellen said.
“There is no need for that your highness, It is my duty as an ‘elder’ in the Royal family,” lady Emilia said.
Ellen raised her brows but did not react to her, if she was not on her way out of the palace using the front door she would not have agreed to meet the woman.
“Your highness seems to be heading out, you should rest more,” Lady Emilia chose to ignore Ellen’s behavior once more.
“It’s fine, I just want to see my family next door,” Ellen said. She knew they would be worried about her.
“Oh, in that case, I will accompany you,” lady Emila said. It was not an offer so there was no room for Ellen to reject.. Moreover, Ellen was a bit curious to find out what the woman wanted to do.
