Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince
Chapter 348
"Jeffery, on your way arrange a search for prince Willam from Avalo," Sebastian said looking at Jeffery who bowed and walk away. He still had to prepare for the royal ball.
Seeing that Jeffery had gone, Jane took a deep breath in relief. "Your Majesty thank you for your help, "Jane bowed.
Sebastian nodded his head at Jane. Seeing this Ema becomes angry. The King had not reacted to any she said seeing he came out. The only time he had looked at her was when he heard that she had insulted Ellen. Now he even nodded his head at Jane.
She immediately felt that Jane was putting on an act to get the king''s attention. After all even if one was just a mistress to a man like Sebastian they will have a good life.
Sebastian was not aware of what his simple gesture has caused so he walked away with his uncle following behind him before Princess Ema could think of how to get his attention.
" why we''re you making me look bad before the king," Princess Ema turned to Jane as soon as the king was out of sight.
Jane was angry and speechless at the princess''s words. She had done her best to ensure that the prince was not irritated at princess Ema''s behavior, yet she accuse her.
"Was there a need for her to make you look bad? How can you be so insensitive and talk without thinking in Avalo? Even father will not dare," Rochard said. He was irritated by princess Ema''s behavior. Fortunately, the king''s mother already left.
Richard could already tell that lady Magret was not so kind to his sister. Yet Ema decided to act without thinking.
"Who are you to scold me?" Princess Ema asked.
"I am Richard the crown prince of Bozoa. I will not let you disgrace the royal family of Bozoa," Richard did not back down.
Princess Ema gritted her teeth. "What do you mean, you will not let me disgrace Bozoa family? Even if my mother is no longer the queen, she is still a member of the royal family yet you watch a maid slander her," Princess Ema argued.
"It is not slander if it is true,'' Rosa murmured to herself but Richard heard her. " what did you say?" He asked. He had a feeling that his disappearance from the palace was not so simple.
"Nothing, your highness," Rosa bowed and was about to escape but Richard was determined to find out what she meant.
"Come with me," Richard did not give her the chance to reject, he began to walk away. He knew that if they continue the conversation standing there, princess Ema will not let Rosa speak. Seeing him walking away, Rosa had no choice but to follow. Lawrence was also curious so he followed and everyone except Jane and Princess Ema.
"Should we follow them?" Jane looked at the princess. Princess Ema did not answer instead she rolled her eyes and walk away.
Jane was surprised at the princess''s attitude, but she did not follow after her. Instead decided to find out what Richard was up to with the maid.
Inside the Crown prince quarters.
Since Ellen and Sebastian moved to the main, Lawrence and his family were going to stay at the crown prince quarters till they leave.
"Tell me what you know about what happened when I was born," Richard did not beat around the bush and asked the question in his mind.
Rosa nodded " Back then I did not know what was going on. I was just a small child and my mother had just died. So my aunty who served the queen( king George''s mother,) brought me to the queen.
At the time, queen Agatha was already pregnant so the Queen( king Georg''s mother ) felt that I was right to serve the unborn child so she handed me over to Queen Agatha. I served with her for a few months. The queen (king George''s mother), felt that the royal midwives could not be trusted so she hired private help.
This private help stayed in the palace most of the time as a maid. The number of people who knew she was a midwife could be counted with one hand. Even I was not aware, I thought she was queen Agatha''s Handmaid.
According to my aunty, the Queen was just anxious about her grandchild. In the same month that Queen Agatha had gotten pregnant, the queen ( King George''s mother), had a dream that the midwife had hurt her grandson. So she went the extra mile to protect him.
Although I am no longer sure of the day, I am certain that it was a few weeks before Queen Agatha gave birth, I had seen lady Regina and the second prince discussing in low voices. I did not know what they talked about but I heard the second prince thank lady Regina.
I have never thought it was anything so I did not mention to anybody until I heard from Queen Ann that it was the second prince that made the move that your highness that I realized what I saw that day," Rosa finish explaining herself.
Richard nodded his head. He Believed Rosa because what she said was in line with what Ann had explained to him in time past. He was also aware that lady regina had added something to his mother''s tea that made her lose his life.
Since it was a known fact that his grandmother had kept the midwife attending to his mother a secret, then it was obvious that someone relive the secret. It could not have been his grandmother or King George. Even the king as of that time did not know about it.
Queen Agatha will not shoot herself on the leg, so it was clear that lady Regina had a role to play. Richard balled his hand in anger. Lawrence was also angry. His sister has suffered so much because she chooses the wrong friend.
"How can you all believe her? What if she is making up this story," Jane asked when she noticed that everyone in the room seems to believe Rosa.
"Your highness, I will never dare make up a story like this. All this while I did not dare afaird that I will be accused of slandering lady Regina," Rosa said getting on her knees.
"I believe you get up," Richard said. How could he not belive her? His mother Ann, also knows that lady Regina did something that cost the queen''s life she did not dare say a word.
"Thank you, your highness," Rosa took a deep breath of relief. Ever since she had the feeling that lady Regina had sold out her friend she always feels guilty any time she was with Ellen but after saying everything to Richard she felt a weight has been lifted off her shoulder.
"We should tell the matter to the king,'' Danny said. she had never liked lady, Regina.
" There is no need, it just as Jane said, anyone who hears the maid''s words will think she is only making up the story. After all, she said she could not hear what they discuss," Richard shook his head.
"If you know this then why do you believe her without doubt," Jane could not understand what her cousin was thinking.
"Unlike many people, I know what the real lady Regina is like," Richard answered.
