Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 397
When Sebastian saw that the Carrero family did not oppose he turned to lord Sliow. “Or do you now look down on her, because of what happened?”
“Of course not, your majesty, we are willing to welcome her into the family,” lord Sliow replied.
“About the maid, anyone could have used her, or maybe she did it to take revenge on your daughter for mistreating her in the past. Are you going to blame the royal family for your daughter’s stupidity?” Sebastian asked.
Lady Carrero had no choice but to swallow her words. “I will also say this, I do not know what kind of a man you think I am, but if I really wanted to make such a move towards this lady, I will go directly to her father,” Sebastian said.
“Of course, your Majesty, we can only blame our daughter for being simple-minded,” lord Carrero could only say this awkwardly.
“Are you satisfied with this explanation or is there something else you want?” Ellen asked.
Lady Carrero did not behave unreasonably anymore. Seeing that they have become quiet Ellen smirked.
“I wish the both of you a happy marriage,” Ellen had an ear-to-ear smile. When Vera heard her, her face turned ugly but she did not dare argue.
“yes, I think it was Fate,” Sébastien supported his wife and got up. “Two see them out,” he said and started walking away from the room. Ellen did not waste anytime there and followed him. After all her mission there was done.
As she walked past lady Vera she gave her a provoking look. Seem the way the Queen looked at her, Nera finally realized that she had fallen into the Queen’s scheme but without evidence, she might just lose her head for accusing the Queen falsely.
“What is it,” Lady Carrero asked seeing the flames in her daughter’s eyes. “The queen did this to me, she must have known the king still likes me a lot so she did this to stop me,” Lady Vera told her mother.
Lord Carrero also heard her daughter’s reply. “Do not speak nonsense. The King did not even look at you when he walked in, instead, he ensured that his wife did not see the sight of another naked man,” he rejected the idea immediately.
“But father…” Lady Vera wanted to explain that she was sure but her father stopped her.
“No buts, I am not a fool,” lord Carrero stopped her before she got the family into more trouble. “Let us go,” he said taking a step forward to leave the queen’s court. Hopeful that Ellen will not be petty about Vera’s accusation
Lady Carrero knew her husband was upset so she pulled Vera with her. Two quietly followed the two families out.
The Sliows were not fighting but one could feel the awareness between them.
…..
“Father, I am sure all this we’re the queen’s plans. She must have really planned all this out to ruin me,” Lady vera was bitter about this.
“So?” Lord Carrero wanted to beat the hell out of his foolish daughter. She overestimated herself like her mother some time.
“Father, do you not care that now I will have to marry a man who grew up in the stress with moral standing?” Lady Vera could not accept this fate.
“Then you should have thought it through before you came up with such a scheme,” lord Carrero replied. He felt like opening his daughter’s head and finding out what happened to her smart head.
“Father, what are you saying,” lady Vera had a hurt expression. She could not believe that her father really thinks she was stupid now.
Seeing his daughter trying to play the pity card on him, Lord Carrero sigh. “Do you think I believe that a maid came to lie to you? I am sure you tried to seduce the king but you ended up in the wrong room. Do you think the queen will easily allow someone to snatch her place in the king’s heart? So what if she set you up?” Lord Carrero was very disappointed in his daughter.
When lady Vera heard her father she had no choice but to swallow her disappointment. Indeed, it is her fault to have underestimated the Queen but she made a promise to remember what the Queen did and take her revenge when there was a chance in the future.
When lord Carrero saw that his daughter bowed her head, he signed again. “I told you to forget about the king but you and your mother will not listen just like you did not listen to me five years ago. If you have listened will there have been a day like this?” He questioned. He was so angry at both of them for overestimating themselves.
“Why are you talking about five years ago, I also did not know she had such a plan. Now my daughter has to marry that good for nothing from the sliow family. This is all the fault of the queen. Vera is right she did this to my daughter,” lady Carrero was not satisfied with what her husband was saying.
“What do you mean the Queen’s fault, before you try to snach something from the hand of another, you should take a look at yourself in the mirror first. You should be grateful, that it was still the young man from the Sliow family that the Queen used. What if it was a palace guard,” lord Carrero asked looking at the mother and daughter.
When the daughter and mother heard this they did not dare to complain any further. Although a few people may mock Vera they could only do it behind their backs. After all only a few people in Avalo can afford to offend the Sliow and Carrero family together.
When they got back to the house, they meet Jessica, Vera’s half-sister waiting at the receiving hall.
“What is it?” Lord Carrero was in a bad mood.
“Father, I came to inform you that I will be moving over to the palace tomorrow. There are three of us, and the king’s mother intends to watch our characters and chose the best for the king’s uncle,” Jessica informed with a bright smile.
When lord Carrero heard this he was immediately impressed, at least he still has a daughter still using her head.
“You did well, remember to impress the king’s mother and do not try to play stupid tricks,” lord Carrero advised, he cast a side glance at Vera when he said the other half of sentences.
Jessica was very happy to hear this, she looked at Vera proudly. Vera was very angry. Her father always praised her in time past now her life was ruined.
“I will Father,” Jessica nodded her head meekly.
“At least you listen,” lord Carrero pat her (Jessica) back and walked away without looking at the daughter and mother peer who was boiling in anger.
