Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 391

A chamber in the Palace. Three maids were currently tidying up the room. “are you sure you did not hear wrong,” Grater whispered but her voice was loud enough for the third maid in the room to hear.

“of course, this morning I overheard the king and Queen having an argument. I did not think it will lead to this,” Rosa replied in a loud low voice.

“ahh, I thought the king and Queen we have a lovely marriage,” Grater shook her head.

“who knows, couples fight all the time, it just that this time the Queen really annoyed the king. Who knows if he will pick another wife after this,” Rosa replied.

“hmm, so this will become the king’s chamber,” Grater said.. “yes, his majesty asked me to prepare the room for him,” Rosa said.

Grater shook her head and continued to make the bed. The third maid was cleaning the floor.

“Do you think the king will bring in his mistress tonight?” Rosa asked this time as she took the old bed cover.

“What nonsense are you saying? I think the king just wants to stay in another room himself. I have been serving the king for so long already,” Grater replied.

“you are right, when my princess first came over he did not care much about her but then everything changed. Moreover, I heard he used to like his brother’s wo…” Grater stopped what she was doing and closed Rosa’s mouth.

“Even if you are a maid from Bozoa you should watch what you say,” Grater warned.

“I am sorry,” Rosa apologized, and then she cast a glance at the third maid in the room. This maid pretended like she was uninterested in what the two were discussing.

“But does the king really like that lady Vera?” Rosa asked. Her voice was very low this time that the maid could hardly hear her question.

The third maid was very interested in their conversation so she pretend to clean the place close to them in other to hear what they were saying.

” I do not know, but I remember that the king was in a bad mood after the engagement ceremony between prince Craig and Lady Vera,” Grater answered.

“He must have liked her then, maybe he still does,” Rosa said.

“Hey, it’s not in our place to know all this, the king is sleeping in this room tonight, let’s hurry and leave, did you not say he might come back to the room in less than an hour,” Grater change the topic and continue to clean.

Rosa also stops asking and helps in the cleaning. In another five minutes, they were done and left the room.

” Do you think that maid will take the bait?” Rosa asked as they watch the maid walk in the opposite direction.

“of course, did you not say the only reason she declined before is that the king and Queen share the same chamber. A lot of people are greedy for money,” Grater replied.

Another part of the Palace.

“Are you sure?” Lady Vera thought that something was wrong with the sudden turn of events.

“My lady I will not lie to you, the Queen had gone out yesterday and returned sick. Did you notice that sir Jeffery was not with the king today? That is because he is also sick,” the maid replied.

“ahh, what happened?” Lady Vera was curious about the details.

“My lady, I am not sure, but the king was quite angry yesterday. I did not expect that it will lead to this,” The maid said

Lady Vera still thought something was wrong but she was desperate. Knowing that her parents might get her engaged to a small family, the next day since she did not manage to win the king’s uncle.

” Then can you help me into this new room? ” Lady Vera decided to take the risk.

“My lady, I can only point the room to you, his majesty is difficult to please,” the maid was too scared to face the king.

“fine, take me there now, I want to go into the room before he arrives,” Lady Vera said. The maid agree and led her over. Soon Vera entered the room without any problem. She handed the maid a small bag that contains gold coins. “If things work out I will remember you in the future,” lady Vera promised.

The maid happily thank lady Vera and left the room. Vera on the other hand did not waste any time bringing out some incense and put them into the oil lamps burning in the room.

After which she pulled her dress and lay on the bed. A Few minutes later a calming scent was all over the room. Lady Vera’s heart was beating very fast but she was unwilling to give up her plans.

Time passed and the room door was pulled open, Vera was not yet asleep. As soon as she heard the door opening she sat up. Although she was awake she could not see the person clearly.

From her point of view, it was indeed the king that stepped inside. A flash of surprise was seen in the man’s face when he saw that the lady on the bed was Vera.

Although the Queen d told him that she was from the upper social circles did not know that the lady will be Vera.

Well, he needed a wife, and if this is the only way to get one, he did not mind. No matter how powerful the Carrero family were they could not be stronger than the Queen. With this thought in mind, the man walked over to Vera.

Lady Vera did not push him away, she was very welcoming, this maid the man dazed. Why? He knew many of the ladies in this social circle looked down on him

But since she was willing, he did not hold back. What Vare did not know was that she walked into the trap of the Queen.

Ellen knew for sure that she will not dare face the king without planning to feed him something. Feeding the king something is very difficult, so Ellen thought that she will do something to the air.

To be sure, Ellen instructed Rosa to add a liquid to the oil lamp. If it burns alone it was of no effect but when an insect like what Vera has burned is added it will cause a person’s vision to become unclear. They might even see the wrong thing, it depends on how long they breathe in the air.

This Ellen did to ensure that Vera was cooperative in the whole process.
