Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 388

Lady Vera was bitter, previous she had planned to act stupid and make mistakes in other for the king’s uncle to reject her but when she found out that lady Magret was the one picking the wife, she did not dare carry out those plans.

She felt that if she made a stupid mistake she will leave a wrong impression on lady Magret, this way her plan to marry the king will become more difficult.

Who knew that her prayers will be answered and she will get disqualified without doing anything wrong but then she lost a big chance to get close to the king.

She was also worried that the lady Magret might have a reason to stand against her marriage to the king. That did not matter anyway. She still wanted to give it a try.

Even if the king did not marry her, becoming his recognized mistress will still be good enough. The only downside of being a mistress to the king is that her son will not be able to fight for the throne but no one will dare look down on her.

“My lady, are we still going with the plan?” Her handmaid asked.

“Yes,” lady Vera replied, she was not the type to give up easily.

“But what if madam finds out?” The maid was still worried.

“Do not worry, you do not have to exchange clothes with me, while I disappear. This time just tell mother or father that I was feeling sad after I was disqualified and so I took a walk,” lady Vera explain.

Since the reason she lost this time was not something she did deliberately, she can pretend to be sad and her parent will not suspect anything.

After arranging with her maid she made her way out of the hall. Since she stayed in the palace for a few days, she knew how to find her way around.

Soon she met one of the maids she was very familiar with. “My lady, ” the maid bowed, she was surprised to see Vera in this part of the palace.

“Help me with something and I will reward for handsomely,” lady Vera said as soon as she recognize the maid.

“I am willing to help my lady as long as it’s not something that will get me into trouble,” the maid replied.

“It is just as simple as telling me, which room is the king’s chamber,” lady Veta said.

“Ahh! My lady I can not do that, his Majesty will not let me go if I dare,” the maid rejected immediately.

“Of course, he will let you go, have you not heard the information that the king loved me before but he was heartbroken because I chose his brother instead,” lady Vera said.

“Hmm, I indeed heard that, but…” The maid was not convinced.

“What But? Do you not believe that the king will learn to love me again after this night by the time that happens, of course, I will remember your help no matter how small,” lady Vera discouraged the maid.

“Hmm, this my lady,” the maid was a bit confused. She could already guess Vera’s plans. In the past, no woman will dare because they were scared that the prince will kill them.

“Okay, fine you do not have to tell me, I will also remember this after I am successful,” after saying this Vera pretended like she was about to leave.

The maid panicked, “my lady… What if the plan failed?” The maid was scared to ask this question, but she was scared that this may be the case. She knew she could not afford the consequences if that happens.

“It will not fail, as long as the king once loved me, he will not be able to push me away,” lady Vera’s voice was confident.

“Ahh, but My lady the Queen, and the king shares a chamber, what of the Queen returns first and see you?” The maid asked.

“What? The King shares a chamber with her?” Lady Vera was angry after hearing this. After all, the reason why she had been so confident was that she planned to burn some insects in the room. This will make the king weak. But things will not go as smoothly as she plans if the Queen was the first to come inside…

Forget about the Queen dealing with her, the queen might even get affected by the scent in the room. If the king returned later and see her and the Queen in an ambiguous position then they will be done for.

Even if she hate Ellen and wanted to pull her down, she was unwilling to take the fall with her.

“Then, you can forget I asked. I will remember your help tonight,” say this Vere and the maid went their separate ways.

What the two women did not know was that another person heard their conversation. Rosa has been helping Eva take care of Jeffery since morning. This time she had gone to give the two dinners in their chamber.

Since Jeffrey was the king’s right hand and he lived inside the palace. After delivering the food, she was on her way to join the fun when she noticed lady Vera sneaking around.

Rosa was not from Avalo so she did not recognize Vera at one place. She thought the person was up to no good so she decided to follow and find out what the woman wanted.

At first, she thought she wanted to steal, who knew the woman was so ambitious to want to steal the king’s heart from the Queen.

After hearing this conversation, she decided to report to the Queen immediately. Even if it seems the woman had given up. She still felt it was best for the queen to be informed.

Rosa got into the ball and started looking for Ellen, it was not easy to find her due to the many people around. It took her a few minutes to find Ellen.

“Your highness, I bring news,” Rosa bowed.

When Ellen heard this, she was alert, she knew that Rosa has been helping out in taking care of Jeffrey.

“Did something happen to Jeffrey?” She asked.

“It not that your highness,” Rosa shook her head before repeating what she heard earlier.
