Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 398
“Since when do you have a chamber?” Sebastian asked as the both of them got into the chamber they share.
“Since your lover tried to sneak into your bed,” Ellen did not plan to hide what she had done from the king. After all, if he really wanted to he could find out easily.
“So you are admitting to setting her up?” Sebastian was surprised. He expected her to try to cover up her deed.
“So? I thought you say you never liked her or did you lie to me?” Ellen gave the king a questioning look.
“Still, you did not have to dirty your hand,” Sebastian said.
“What? You actually wanted her in your bed,” Ellen asked.
“What?” Sebastian was confused. He did not know when he mentioned wanting Vera in his bed. Of course, he will never touch anything that belongs’s to the son of a murderer.
“Hum, if that is the case you can go and find her,” Ellen said walking away from him. She did not even know why she was suddenly so upset.
“I did not mean that,” Sebastian caught up with her.
“As if I will believe you. It turns out that you managed to appear early in the queen’s court because you wanted to see your first love,” Ellen knew she was been unreasonable but she could not help her tongue.
“What why are you looking at me like that?” Ellen tried to act fearlessly.
“Why you are right, I could not wait to see my love,” Sebastian said in a serious tone.
“You…” When Ellen heard him she was so furious, she wanted to scold him but she managed to stop on time. Once again she remembered that even if the king treated her well she will be unable to stop him if he really wanted to take another wife.
When Sebastian saw her reaction, he felt very, please. It seems his sunshine was beginning to act very cutely, she was no longer so guarded around him. This made him so happy. Usually, she tried to act like she did not care and hide her true feeling.
Sebastian took a step forward and pulled her over. Ellen did not try to push him away. “You were there waiting for me, of course, I had to hurry to see you. Moreover, I wanted to be sure that you did not dirty your eyes,” Sebastian explained.
When Ellen heard this her heartfelt sweet. “You are not lying to me right?” Ellen asked with a smile on her face.
Sebastian wanted to tease her but he thought she had done well that night. “Of course not, in fact, I should reward you for your hard work,” Sebastian replied.
“Hard work?” Ellen was confused.
“Yes, you got ride of a woman who wanted to climb into my bed. If you had not stopped her in your way, maybe she would have become a coup now or in the future. So since you stopped me from dirtying my hands, I should reward you,” Sebastian explained seriously.
Ahh, Ellen felt regretful, she had served Vera’s life and now she will continue to see her annoying face. “Forget it, she got officially engaged today, she will not dare show her face to my king anymore,” Ellen comforted herself.
“If you want to reward me, you should hold a feast in my name,” Ellen said seriously.
“Okay,” Sebastian agreed. Ellen was surprised, she did not expect him to accept her request so easily. She knew the king hated the crowd and will never hold a feast unless it was very important.
“Are you sure?” Ellen was a little doubtful.
“Yes, you deserve it,” Sebastian said. He knew war is coming soon and it was best they lived the time they had left merrily.
“Then it is settled,” Ellen nodded, after all, if the king host a feast in her name, it will make her more respected in Avalo.
“Yes it is, now that you send away the woman who wants to climb to my bed, you should fulfill your duty as my wife,” Sebastian’s voice sounded serious.
Before Ellen could understand what he meant her lips were already covered with his.
…
Sliow’s residence.
“You did well son,” lord Sliow was very proud of his son for taking advantage of the situation.
“What is there to be proud of, he was fooled by a common maid. Would he still be standing here if the woman in that room had been the Queen?” Lady Sliow was very unhappy about the situation.
She had done everything to spread the news about Brad to ensure that he did not get married to a noblewoman. Who knew he will end up with someone like Vera.
“You, Starting from now you are no longer the lady of the Sliow’s household,” lord Sliow was angry at his wife.
He had been angry since she started saying nonsense in the queen’s court but since his family got such a benefit at the end of the day, he forgot about her misconduct but hearing her words again he was angry. Indeed this woman was not fit to be the lady of the household.
When Lady Sliow heard this her body went stiff. Although she and her husband did not have any close relationship they have managed well for so many years.
“My husband, what have I done wrong?” She asked as she started crying.
“Everything, as the lady of this house, you should care about our noble name before you speak. If you have given me a son, then I will not have brought him back but You do not have a son, so I ask why are you so bitter that he will become the next head?” Lord Sliow asked.
“I am not bitter, it is just that I thought lady Vera was an honest woman, I did not expect someone to have targetted her,” lady Sliow tried to save herself.
“You must think I am a fool, now I understand why picking a wife for my son has been so difficult. You were the one that dared to spread the news.. Since you can not think of the family name and future it future first, then there is no need to have you as the lady of the family,” After saying this, Lord Sliow left without waiting for her to defend herself.
