" We have bearly left samor, Jeffrey go get a carriage," the prince instructed, shocking everyone present. Before Jeffrey could say anything the princess slowly open her eyes.

"Go get the carriage, " prince Sébastien respected himself.

" Your highness, it will be difficult to get a comfortable Carriage for the princess... "Jeffrey was trying to say but the prince cut him off.

"I don't care... She is not fine, how do you expect her to ride a horse like this?" Princess Sébastien snapped.

"I am fine," Ellen whispered in a small voice but she knew why her body was feeling the way it was. She needed to eat but she could not really tell the prince that since she was provided food that morning but she refused to eat.

"Moreover I need to show up in the king's court today," princess Ellen said seeing that the prince did not believe a word she just said.

Prince Sébastien took a deep breath, he wanted to insist. He did not care what judgment was given at the king's court since he had his way to ensure the king will not hurt Ellen.

Jeffery saw the dilemma in the prince's gaze. He knew that the man was trying not to reveal his feeling to others. It was not that the prince did not trust the men with him but news fly very fast and he could not risk her safety.

"Your highness, since we need to get to the royal city as soon as possible why don't you ride with the princess," Jeffery suggested.

The prince shook his head in disagreement, "I don't ride with anyone and you know that," the prince replied. As much as he would get the opportunity to be close to his sunshine. Riding on the same horse with her into the royal city was like a way of showing his care for her.

"Think about it your highness, riding into the city with your wife on the same horse will clear the rumor about you been unable to get close to a woman," Jeffery acted as though he was convincing the prince.

"No," the prince replied sternly.

"Then her highness can ride with me or her personal guard to keep her safe," Jeffery said. He knew the prince would never allow that.

"Jeffery if that happens then it will only confirm those bassless rumors," Eight said. Eight did not know the kind of game the prince and Jeffery were playing. He had simply supported Jeffrey's idea because he wanted to have something to gossip about in the brothel laterr at night.

He was sure that the news of the prince riding on a horse with his wife will spread round the Palace and those men and women in the brothel will gather around him to confirm the news.

"since when did his highness start caring about what rumors go around about him?" One asked completely surprised by the conversation.

"don't tell you have a fantasy of having the princess hand around your waist?" Jeffery asked One. Whose jaw dropped to the ground since everyone was looking at him suspiciously.

The prince's gaze is what scared him the most. "of course not," One shook his head as though his life depends on it. Well, it does since the prince might cut him into pieces for having such a thought about his sunshine.

All eyes turned to the prince. "Whatever," the prince reluctantly agreed. But he was dancing in joy in his heart.

"Your highness, you should have some water," Biel said handing over a wooden bottle to Ellen. Princess Ellen collected the bottle grateful since her throat dried up when she realized she would be sharing a horse with the prince.

Ellen frown her brows when the water was close enough to her mouth. She could perceive the same smell she did in her soup earlier that morning. If princess Ellen doubted her assumption before she was then certain that Biel wanted to hurt her and she was most likely following One's order.

Ellen placed the bottle on her lips and pretending as though she drank from it. She returns the bottle to Biel and one helped her to her feet.

Biel collected the bottle of water and took a deep breath of relief seeing that Ellen drank the water. When she had accepted the job to hurt the princess, she had thought it will be very easy. Since most princesses were spoiled rotten by their parents.

When Ellen had asked her to eat the food that Morning, Biel's heart had missed a beat. She was scared that the princess suspected something but in the end, she realized she was just scared for nothing as the princess is clueless.

What Biel did not know was that the prince had noticed Ellen's raised Eyebrows when the water was closed enough. So he paid attention and realized she had fake drinking the water.

The prince's heart missed a beat when he remembered the first time the princess had such a reaction on her face. It was at their wedding when the wine was poison. Prince Sébastien swallowed as his blood began to boil and he felt like killing someone.

"What if this maid had put something in her food, and this is the reason she fell sick all of a sudden," a voice chimed in the prince's head.

It makes perfect sense to him, but he shook his head again, even if she did maybe my sunshine did not eat it. She is extremely careful he thought.

To confirm his assumptions he turned to the maid and asked. "what did she have for breakfast?"

"I apologize your highness but I made the soup sir Jeffrey had requested but her highness refused to eat it. She said she hated the soup the most," Biel bowed her head.

The prince took a deep breath of relief hearing that answer. He turns to look at Jeffery to ask why he orders them to make a meal without asking what the princess wants but the latter wore a confused look.

This leads him to the conclusion that Ellen had only made an excuse not to eat the food. Meaning the maid has indeed tried to hurt her.

"But why did she not complain or say a thing to me. Could it be that she thinks I am the one trying to hurt her? " the prince asked himself. His gaze was still fixed on Jeffery.

"I apologize your highness, but I thought I saw her have it once. I must be mistaken," Jeffery replied. Jeffrey could already tell something was not right, since he was certain that that soup was one of her favorites told to him by her maid's from Bozao.

Prince Sébastien tightens his hand into a fist to stop himself from killing the maid in a single move. "that will be an easy way out for thinking to hurt my sunshine," he thought.
