250 Ellena's Secret

King Jared and Mars visited the Prestons at their magnificent mansion not far from the royal palace. This was their home in the capital. They also had their own castle outside of the capital but they spent most of their time in this one.

"Your Majesty," Duke Preston and his wife bowed down and curtseyed when they received the king and the crown prince at their door. 

"Duke Preston, we are here to visit Lady Ellena, your niece, and check on her condition," King Jared said. "How is she doing?"

"Thank you for visiting us, Your Majesty. She is still recovering in her chamber. We have our own doctors taking care of her. They all advised her to rest aplenty and not to think about anything stressful," Duke Preston replied.

"Can she see us?" The king asked again. "I have something important to ask her."
