Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 395
“Of course, he did, my daughter will never do such a thing,” lady Carrero ignored Ellen and replied.
“Neither will my son force her,” lord Silow defended Brad? Although this time lady Silow did not say anything, she chuckled at her husband’s words causing him to be angry at her again.
“Who are you trying to fool? We all know that your son has been on the street,” lady Carrero argued.
“He was never in the street, even if my son does not have any outstanding quality he has a moral line. He will not force himself on your daughter. More so he will not be stupid enough to do it in the palace,” lord Silow was very confident.
“My husband are you not afaird of being slapped in the face by your word?” Lady Vera is a good lady with the right moral standing. Why would she want to do such a thing with someone like him,” lady Silow said pointing her hand at Brad?
She did not even bother to hide the disgust in her eyes. To her Brad was guilty, and this was a perfect chance to get rid of him. She had built the family with her husband for so many years, how could she stand someone else coming to snatch everything away just because she did not birth a son.
“Of course, he is guilty,” lady Carrero said.
Lord Silow was so angry at his wife, the only reason why he had not hit her is that they were outside. He could only gritty his teeth secretly.
Seeing that they have quite down Ellen spoke again. “If any of you dare to speak without my permission again, I will have your tongue,” Ellen said. To be honest Ellen was enjoying the drama but if this continues she will be unable to finish on time and return to her chamber.
When the two families heard this they pinned their lips not daring to breathe too loud. Seeing how obedient they were, Ellen was satisfied and continue to speak.
“As lady Carrero said, Brad has been in the street all these years, ” Ellen paused and lady Carrero gave lord Sliow a provoking look. Seeing none of them dare to speak without the Queen’s permission they could only fight with their eyes.
“This means that Brad, has never been to the palace before and as such it will be difficult for him to açt recklessly. Moreover, without someone showing him the way, the guards would have found him out. Vera on the other hand has lived in the palace before. Lady Carrero, you said it yourself that your daughter is smart. Do you think the stupid Brad will be able to fool her all the way to my chamber When she was not drunk?” Ellen fixed her gaze on lady Carrero who’s tongue felt tied.
This time, Lord Silow also looked at lady Carrero, not bothered about hiding his mockery.
“Your highnesd, my daughter is well behaved, perhaps someone set the both of them up,” lord Carrero who has been listening to the queen said the only reasonable conclusion he could think of. After all, like his wife he will never belive that his daughter will do such a thing willingly. It was also impossible for Brad to have trick her since she was not drunk.
“There is that possibility, lady Vera what were you doing in my chamber?” Ellen asked.
Although Vera would have loved to stick to the fact that he force her but the evidence on the ground did not allow her. Moreover, the guard has seen how see acted toward Brad when she stepped in. Moreover, Brad already threatens to argue her of paying him to rape the queen. This way he will not be the only one been stoned to death.
Vera was not ready to die such a shameful death so she could only granty her teeth and find a way out. “Your highness, at the hall, a royal maid came to inform me that hid Majesty sent for me. I would have not been foolish enough to belive her but during my time in the palace, this maid served me well. Also at that time, the king was not in the hall, so I followed her into the room.”
“She told me to wait that the king will join me soon, I thought something was wrong but I waited after all the king has always liked me. If this was true and I walk away, I will be losing a chance to be with him so I waited,”
“Just when I thought to leave, he arrive and for some reason, I mistook him as the king. After all, as someone who has stayed in the palace, I knew no one could come into this part of the palace. So I let him do whatever he wants,” Vera lied with a straight face.
“You what were you doing in the chamber at that time?” Ellen asked. She had deliberately asked Vera first so that Brad would know the right approach to take. If she had dared to mention that Brad raped her, then Brad would have said that she paid him to rape the queen but when he found out her target was the queen he did not dare, so he come to report to the queen and the queen ordered him to ruin her.
No matter what Brad was not Ellen’s target and she was willing to protect him since she was the one that used him.
“Your highness, my father has been trying to get me engaged but all the young’s refused. Today, a maid informed me that there is a noble lady who has taken a likeness of me but was too shy. I was naturally curious so I followed. I was not even aware of which part of the palace we were. When I saw lady Vera lying on the bed, I was surprised and thought something was wrong. I wanted to leave because I was afraid of trouble but she took the initiative, do I thought that the maid has not lied to me. You can ask the guard that caught us. She was sticking to me when he came in,” Brad also told his lies cooked by Ellen.
Ellen turned to Two who has been standing there. “Your highness, It is as the two of them has said, the lady seems to have mistaken the young man as the king. Why the young man looked confused,” Two answered getting the hint from the Queen.
” Ahh…. We must find that maid and cut her into pieces,” lady Carrero was so angry that her face was red and her heartbeat was quicken.
