18 Helpless princess .

What the two women did not know was that their entire conversation was heard by a certain young master, who was standing behind the door.

Joe was planning to leave after Ann entered the princess chamber, but he changed his mind when he recognized the woman that just walked into Ellen's chamber.

Naturally, Joe never pays attention to savant but this particular woman was courageous enough to indict the princess falsely in the throne room, so he could not forget her face so soon.

What surprised him the most is the fact that she was not locked up and could walk freely in the Palace like nothing happened. He was about to leave when an alarm bell rang in his head. He felt his blood boil with anger just with the thought of how unfairly the princess has been treated.

'What if the Queen was the one who sent her to harm Ellen,' Joe thought, and with this in mind, Joe rested his head on the chamber door trying to figure out what was happening inside the chamber. He planned to rescue the princess as soon as something went wrong.

He felt his body stiff, unable to make complete sense out of the conversation he heard. 'What does the princess mean by protecting her brother " he questioned himself. the name Richard was not mentioned and it did not seem like they were talking about the crown prince. That was not the most confusing part to him, the king was known to have no concubine or mistress. "King George had only married another wife when the first one died. The first one gave birth to one daughter, which is Ellen unless she has a twin and her brother got separated from her" He thought of the possibility since Ellen clearly said he needed to know his biological mother, meaning the maid Ann was not his mother.

'Why does this story sound like something from fairy tales his mother used to tell him when he was younger he asked himself.

He stood there thinking of every possibility and only came back to his sense when he heard the approaching steps from the room. He quickly moved away.

"I should tell this to father, he would know what to do" Joe murmured to himself as he left the Palace.

Meanwhile, in Avalo royal Palace :The king's Court.

"Are you sure he is yet to leave the Palace?" King Rodrick asked one of the guards.

" Your majesty, the prince has remained in his chambers ever since he met with my king earlier," the guards answered confidently.

The king nodded his head and looked at another man standing on his right. "I don't think the prince is so interested in that princess. Carry out the plan and make sure it leads to Bozoa," the king commanded.

" But your majesty, if he is not interested in the girl then even this plan will not make him go to the battle field" the man replied.

"He will," the king answered confidently.

The other man bowed to the king "with your permission my king" he said before walking out of the court.

The king had a warm smile on his lips. Since his youths king Rodrick has been very smart with scheming. He was the third prince, The throne was never something he could think of having, yet he managed to steal the sit from the crown prince without fighting. He simply set the second prince against the crown prince. Once the crown prince noticed his brother was trying to steal the throne from him, the two went into Cold War.

While the two destroy each other, he stayed back and watch, by the time the fight was over, the crown prince was dead and the second prince was executed for killing his brother, so the thrown natural fell on him. He immediately sent spies into his two younger brothers' troop to find out their plans.

As soon as his father was dead, he exiled his other brothers, so he would not have to fight them in the future.

He has long learned this lesson, so knowing that his son will not go back to war with Bozao, he decides to make them offend the prince. In his mind, the prince has his pride to protect. If Bozoa delivers a dead bride to him, he would certainly throw a fist, so in his anger, he would destroy the kingdom.

Once Bozoa was out of the way, taking over the other three kingdoms will be nothing. Bozoa is a kingdom he would have never gone to war against, but he had his trophy card, his cursed son. Once the twelve were together as one, he would establish his reign.

He also did not mind if his plans fails, he knew he son could be unpredictable. He has thought about his plans over and over again, if the prince did not take action he could let Bozao be for now. As long as the princess dies and there was no marriage alliance, he can always go back to war with them in a few years. After all there would be nothing bounding them to each other, if the princess is dead and the truce was broken.

The king got off his chair feeling very excited about his plans. He had previously been feeling frustrated, Angry, and blood-tasty since he met with the prince earlier. He really felt like crushing the rude son of his, too bad he had to wait until he establishes his empire and got the four great kings to completely bow to him and not his cursed son. "Who the hell does he think he is, to defile me" the king murmured. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. "Just a little more time, indeed there are many ways to kill a rat without shading blood" king Roderick comfort himself.

His armor-bearer followed him quietly. He could not understand why the king was so happy about killing a helpless princess. He began to feel sorry for the prince's future wife, the king was definitely going to use her as a plug in his game.
