Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 384

Sebastian and Ellen arrived at the hall when the ball started, at that time everything else was put on hold to welcome the king and queen.

“Your majesty,” Everyone bowed ad the king and Queen walked over to the center of the hall. At this point, the hall was in dead silence. Some people did not dare to breathe out loudly.

“Welcome, please enough the ball tonight,” king Sebastian said. His words were short but it was counted as the opening of the ceremony.

Soon some people began to dance, but many young ladies today did not dare to dance with another man, after all, they all wanted to become members of the Royal Family by marrying Ericsson.

Lady Emilia immediately walked over once Ellen walked away from the king. Since Ellen’s family was attending the ball Ellen decide to keep them company. She was afraid that someone will try to cause them trouble.

If this royal ball did not open the palace gate to the commoners then Ellen would not have been so worried.

She only took a few steps before she saw lady Emilia walk over to her.

“Your highness,” lady Emilia acted very respectfully. Ellen nodded her head, she had a feeling that the woman was up to something so she was always guarded around her but she did not push her away.

Her reason was simple, One’s enemy should not be so out of sight. Ellen believe that it was best to watch her on a close range, hence she acted along with lady Emilia.

“My Queen you look so beautiful tonight, the king must be proud,” lady Emilia said. The smile on her face looked very sincere. Ellen could not tell if she was genuinely complimenting her or if she was just good at pretending.

Whichever it’s was Ellen decided to play along. “Thank you, your words are too kind,”

“Your highness, I am not been kind, this is the truth, when I was pregnant with Craig I wished I have given birth to a girl,” lady Emilia smiled.

This time she was not lying, she wanted a girl since the king already had more than seven sons. If she gave birth to a princess then she could marry into a good family and she will not be scared that after her husband die she would be exiled.

“Hmm, I am sure Craig was a good son,” Ellen said, there’s a hint of Mockry in her voice. Lady Emila could not tell if Ellen wanted her to hear it or she failed to hide it.

So she decided to ignore it, “if he had been a girl all this would not have happened,” there was regret in lady Emilia’s voice.

“If you are giving birth to a girl she would have been beautiful ” Ellen could only say this.

Lady Emilia stayed and talked to Ellen for some time before she left. Her aim tonight was to show off her good relationship with the queen.

And as expected a few noble ladies notice this. One f which was Lady Magret. Ellen paused and watch Emilia interact with someone else before she decided to meet her family.

“You should be careful with her,” Ellen heard the familiar voice from behind her. She was a bit surprised that Lady Magret will take the initiative toward her.

“Thank you for the concern,” Ellen replied and walk away. She did not want to continue a conversation with lady Magret.

“What is this? It seems the queen treated lady Emilia better than her mother-in-law,” one noblewoman said.

“Hmm, mothers-in-law can be difficult to deal with, I am sure lady Emilia is just acting nice to the queen to get favor”

“That right, no wonder she has not been kicked out of the palace yet”

“You are thinking too much, the Queen had where she was going to,” someone disagrees.

Lady Magret shook her head, just now she decided to warn Ellen, when she saw Emilia acting nice, she was not worried that Ellen will get hurt or not. She only decided to warn for the sake of her son.

She will be stupid not to realize that her son was in love with Ellen. Hearing all these whispers around her she regretted her choices. She did not want to be a topic of gossip but at last, it was too late.

When Ellen got to her family she notice a lady talking to Rose. From the lady’s clothes, one could easily tell that she was from a noble family. At one glance Rose is very attentive, she could draw attention to herself without doing anything.

“Let me tell you, the king’s uncle is someone who has lived a good long life he will not be moved by your beauty,” Ellen heard the lady standing next to Rose said.

Everyone in the family was surprised that the first person who took the initiative to greet them only wanted to warn Rose.

Rose was not easy to step on. Although she could have simply told the lady that she was already engaged to get the lady off her back Rose did the opposite.

“If that is the case, why are you all dressed up, you should have arrived in sackcloth,”

“You are right sister, but do not be too mean, some people can still look good in sackcloth, beauty is an inner thing,” as Danny said this part of the sentence she glance at Rose.

“Others will still look like pigs even if their dress is made up of precious gem,” Danny said the second part looking at the girl before them.

As expected the girl was angered by Danny’s comment. “You who are you calling a pig,” how could the lady not know what Danny mean even if she did not point fingers.

“Whoever knows that they look like pigs,” Danny said.

The girl wanted to curse out at Danny and Rose but someone beat her to it. “Danny can you not control your mouth and not stir up trouble,” princess Ema said
