Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince
Chapter 329
In the crown prince Quarter.
Princess Ellen was fully ready for the ceremony before midday but when she came out to the visiting hall she saw Richard who told her that the prince wanted them to wait till the point he wore the crown.
Princess Ellen trust her brother and she was sure that the prince left this instruction for a reason, so she did not act stubborn and decided to welcome her uncle''s family who the prince has sent over.
"Uncle, Aunty," princess Ellen grated them with a warm smile.
"My dear niece is looking so beautiful, if my sister was still alive she would have been proud," Lawrence said. He felt regretful that he and his sister never share the bond other twins would have.
"I am sure she is happy to see me like this where ever she is," princess Ellen nodded her head. She did not know that the relationship between Lawrence and her mother has been bad because this uncle has treated her very well.
If anything she felt that her mother was probably at odds with her brother Robert. So it was understandable why the man did not break the engagement between William and Jane. If only she knew that revise was the case.
"Father, it is a happy day," she walked over to hug princess Ellen and brought her to sit close to her. Rose and Eva have easily gotten along because they were similar in age, so Eva was not far away from the princess.
"your highness," Eva did not dare forget that she had to repeat the future Queen. Princess Ellen was about to nod and smile sweaty at Eva when she sense the familiar scent.
At first, she could not quite place it, she was someone who has learned to recognize people with the smell of their bodies. So after being confused for a while she place where she had perceived the smell before.
Not wanting to make any other questions the wrong person she asked Eva to come closer. Everyone in the room was surprised by the prince''s action but Eva did not dare ask any questions and move closer.
"it''s the same," she confirm but then realized that two people could use the same scent, If one person could buy it then why can''t another.
"I like the ointment you have applied can you help me get one?" princess Ellen asked in a warm smile. When the people in the room saw this they shook their heads.
They most have overthought things just now because of the serious expression on the princess''s face. It turns out that she just likes Eva''s ointment.
Princess Ellen''s reason for asking about it was simply. Eva was not someone from a noble family so having such an ointment was not possible. Unless it was a gift from some. She could tell by the richness of the scent that it may be rear. What are the chances that a random girl will wear the same ointment with her husband''s hidden mistress. ''small'' the chance was very small.
"I am sorry, your highness but this belonged to my mother, it is an old bottle that she cares a lot about. I do not know how to get another," Eva answered honestly.
Princess Ellen nodded her head in understanding. "it is okay," she did not seem angry but she was burning deep down.
She did not even think about the fact that Eva had come with the Zacks and it make have nothing to do with the prince. She concluded that prince Sébastien must have plans of bringing his mistress into the Palace.
''so what if he would not take another wife, is a mistress not almost the same?'' she questioned herself mentally.
"where is prince William," Jane who has been sitting at the side since she returned. Could no longer stop herself from asking. She still remembers that about an hour ago when she left the reviving hall with princess Ema, he was in the welcoming hall.
"He left in the carriage," Richard answered.
"What do you mean? Prince William has been here to meet cousin how could not leave just like that," Jane frowns her brows. She was hoping on getting closer to him during this time.
Moreover, watching Danny and Richard exchange looks as if they were communicating secretly made her jealous.
When Richard heard her words he felt she was being unreasonable so he decided to ignore her and continue to look at Danny was seated beside princess Ema.
Rose knew her cousin was very stupid and will not take the hint of Richard ignoring her, so she decided to answer. "when we arrived a while back, prince Richard and Prince William wanted to take a tour around the Palace but a guard informed them to move it to another day because of the coronation ceremony. When Prince William saw this, he told the entered into the carriage that brought us and I think they left the Palace, " Rose patiently explained.
When Jane heard Rose she was disappointed but there was no one in the room she could get vent on, so she swallowed her dissatisfaction.
Just then Grater came to remind princess Ellen about lunch.
" The Ceremony will start soon...," princess Ellen wanted to reject Grater.
"No really, I heard his highness has gone to pull out the sword of distraction," Grater said.
Princess Ellen was puzzled, she was not a native of Avalo so she did not know about this sword. Most people in Avalo also no longer remember the sword unless it was mentioned. Thinking of this Grater understood princess Ellen.
" The sword of distraction has been stuck to the ground for a thousand years. Every prince that ascends the throne of Avalo has tried to pull it out. His majesty will be there for at least two hours, this should be enough time for lunch," Grater explained. She did not believe that the crown prince could pull out such a sword.
Something that had Bern stuck to the ground for so long should have become one with the ground. Princess Ellen also did not know much so she agreed and ask Grater to set the table while she invited everyone to the dinner ING hall.
Grater leat the way to a big dining hall, princess Ellen knew the existence of this place but she had never had her meal in this hall before. If prince Sébastien had friends when he invited them. Over they will be entertained in this dining hall.
They all settle in the table in the dining table while the maid serves them. "Do you think a person like you can eat on this table?" Jane asked.
Princess Ellen frown her brows and looked at Jane before looking at Eva. Eva felt ashamed not knowing what to do.
Rose was confused, after all, she was was the one who pulled Eva along, she did not think that anyone would mind. After all, Eva was also invited into the Palace.
Eva got up awkwardly but before she could take a step, princess Ellen spoke. "you are my guest today, please seat," princess Ellen ignored Jane.
Even if she will love to humiliate Eva, she could not do that knowing that the prince has invited her as a guest.
Eva bowed and sat down, she was no longer feeling comfortable. Princess Ellen paid attention to her and turned to Jane.
"Cousin, I am the host, you should not make my guest feel so uncomfortable," she said.
Jane was already angry at princess Ellen allowing the maid seat on the table with her but hearing princess Ellen calling her out annoyed her even more.
"What right does she have she is just a maid, oh I forget you have a maid as a stepmother now," Jane mocked. The more she thought about it the angrier she became. Richard had his hand bowed underneath the table.
Ann has been the only mother he knew, so hearing someone mocking her got him upset but he could not give Avalo Royal palace something to gossip about so he stopped himself from hitting her.
Princess Ellen was also angry seeing the look on her brother''s face, she could see his difficulty but there was nothing she could do.
Unexpectedly, Danny got up from her seat walk around the table and before anyone could guess what she was up to a slap was heard echoing in the dining hall.
"I will not let anyone disrespect her highness the Queen of Bozoa. If you have any grievance tell the king when we return," Danny said before walking back to her seat. She was not as helpless as the other members of the royal family who did not know what to do.
She happy sighed that her bother had not married a stupid woman like Jane. They must have been blind to think she was sensible back then.
"If you do not speak we would not think that you have lost your tongue," princess Ema did not dare support, Jane. No matter what, she was a member of the royal family of Bozoa. Even if she hated Ann, a common maid, she could not let the royal family of Bozoa become a joke in the eyes of the maids present. Besides Jane''s words have not just insulted Ellen and Richard, but she and her brother as well.
Jane fell her chick hurt, she was so angry that she got up and left the dining table. She made a vow in her heart that once she became the Queen she will ensure that Danny lose the hand she had used to slap her. She knew better than anyone to bring this situation before King George.
After Jane left, the atmosphere in the hall was not so pleasant but they managed to eat their lunch in peace.
