《Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince》Chapter 115 - Mason

"What is this?" prince Ericsson asked looking at the locket in her hand. Lady Magret paused and wondered if she should tell him the truth. She had just been so excited about being able to help him with his disguise that she brought out the locket.
She took a deep breath and open the locket. Inside it was a red pendant that seems to have been formed from a stone. "This can help you with the perfect disguise. We do not have to worry about you getting caught," Lady magret answered.
"How does it work?" prince Ericsson asked. He had heard of the existence of magical powers he did not altogether believe them.
Lady Magret took a deep breath as she could still not trust her safety with this prince a hundred percent.
"I have never used it before, but when I got it. The owner who sold it said to put a drop of blood in this place," Lady magret said as she turned the pendant to the other side. Then you must think of the person you want to look like. If you are not so sure you can look at the person you want to look like. Then think to be like the person and you would look just like the person, " Lady magret replied.
" Would I ever be able to see my true self again after this? " Prince Ericsson asked. He had already lost his name and honor. Having to lose his face too was not something easy for him.
" of course, every night when you want to sleep you can simply take off the pendant and you will be back to yourself. Take note, you must never lose this pendant at any time or your disguise will be exposed," Lady Magret replied.
"Then I have to thank you for this gift," He opened his hand and lady Magret put it in his open Pam. Their figures brushed lightly and the prince felt his body tense up.
"Do you have a person in mind?" Lady Magret asked. She had a weird thought to ask him to look like his brother. She felt like seeing the face of her husband. If only, everybody were not already aware of prince Edward's death, this pendant would have given them the power to seek justice without having to hide.
Although the two of them now had a lot of Gold with them. They still had to be careful in their spending since they did not want people to notice them much.
A commoner would be easily ignored. "No, not yet," prince Ericsson said as he looked at his face in the mirror. Lady Magret nodded her head.

"It's almost night, what is the most popular inn, in the kingdom. I mean where you can find the noble? " Lady Magret asked.
"Why?" do you plan to work there. We have enough gold coin, we are not out to it. You don't need to work in a place like that, " Prince Ericsson said. He did not understand why he felt so angry thinking of her working in a place like that.
Maybe it was because he has always been protective of what belongs to his brother. It is not that he did not know that the lady before him has no plans of selling herself. But the people who visited the inns have perverted minds and would be attracted to her.
He knew that most of them drop they feign of nobility before stepping into that place. They would force themselves on her. Just thinking of all this possibility left a sore taste in his mouth.
"it not about the money. The best place to learn all the rumors is in an inner or market. It is had to verify the gossip in the market but those in the inner are usually true. Men tend to spat out the truth when drunk or in the peek of pleasure," Lady Magret explained thoughtfully. She might have some magic but she could not tell what the person in the room was thinking.
"Have you gone mad? You are a noble lady. The wife of the late Crown prince. How can you even think of stepping into a place like that? You even dare to think to work there," the prince snapped. He found it difficult to control his anger.
Lady Magret jaw dropped. She had not expected such a reaction from him. She could not understand why he looked like a husband scolding his wife. His voice sounded angry but she would be stupid if she did not pick the worry under it.
"I am not just any lady. I have my ways of defending myself. I would never let anyone take advantage of me. I belong to you brother," Lady magret said when she finally understood what got him so irritated.
"Have you forgotten you are with a child? Do you want to put my nephew in danger too?" he raised his brows. He was determined to stop her from stepping a foot into such a place in the name of getting information.
"I.., lady Magret paused and unconsciously touched her stomach. Her love was already dead and the seed in her stomach was all she has about him. She could never risk losing it. But now was the best time to look for clues. She may never find anything if she waited to birth the baby.

"We have to look for clues and now is the best time," Lady Magret said with a low voice. She did not know what next to do.
"I will go out and look for clues. I already failed my brother in looking after him. I have to ensure his son is fine," prince Ericsson said and flip the pendant in his hand.
Lady Magret looked at him, she knew she would gather more information and faster than he would, but she slightly nodded her head. Her hand was still on her stomach. If there was another way she would never Rick the life of her child.
"Say how many faces can be changed in this pendant?" prince Ericsson asked as he flipped the pendant again.
"Three at most?" Lady magret answered. Prince Ericsson nodded his head and walked out of the room. He did not say anything. When he returned he had the pendant in a necklace.
"How do I put the blood?" he asked looking at the pendant. Lady magret did not ask any questions. She simply took a dagger and cut the prince's finger. Then she directed the blood in the small hole.
Prince Ericsson watched her with interest. He has always known that she was not as simple as she looked. A lady that loved violence can not be simple.
"Help me wear it," Prince William said in a low voice when he noticed the blood had disappeared into the pendant. Lady Magret nodded her head and help him put it on.
Prince Ericsson stiffed once more when her fingers brushed his neck but he cleared his thoat and put himself together. He could not explain the sudden excitement he felt each time he felt her touch.
That night, prince Ericsson has gone out in the disguise of a lady. This action repeated itself three nights but he did not find any meaningful information. On the fourth night, he had arrived in at the inner with a heavy heart. All people talked about was how he betrayed his brother, which always made him so angry that he would shut his ears. But this night his eyes had caught a familiar figure. "Thompson, " his blood boiled seeing him here.
He felt that this man had something to do with his brother's death. It was all thanks to him that he had a misunderstanding with his brother in the first place.
He decided to keep an eye on him. Soon he caught another familiar figure. " Mason," the prince whispered.
Mason was like his right-handed man. He was his sword-bearer. Prince Ericsson felt happy seeing him. Prince Ericsson could trust this man with his life. Finally, he found someone he could trust to gather good information.
He was a bit surprised to see Mason go over to Thompson. He did not give it much thought but he walked closer and pretending to be busy just so he could hear what there discuss. In his mind, he concludes that Mason was trying to gather information to save him.
"The plan has been successful, The prince is already out of the way. I delivered his robe and dagger like you asked. No matter what he would never be able to clear his name," Mason said before he gulped the drink and raised his cup for a refill.
Prince Ericsson felt his heart missed a beat but he move immediately to serve him the drink. Hopefully that he could find out more information. He knew that the prince that they spoke about is him.
" You have done well, the Crown prince promised to make use both rich and famous once he seat on the throne. Just remained diligent," Thompson said.
Prince lost all his patience and the wooden jag in his hand dropped on the table. He was ready to attack the two men and kill them.
Thompson and Mason were both surprised at the lady's behavior. Of course, the prince was in his disguise so they could not recognize him.
Prince Ericsson was about to pull out his dagger when lady Magret rushed over. She was dressed in her male outfit.
"What are you doing," she scolded the prince. "If you kill them now you would ruin everything, " she whispered in his ears.
" I apologize on her behave, she is sick, this drink will be on the house. She flashed a beautiful smile at the men on the table. She recognized Thompson. Although she did not know what the prince has heard she knew it will have something to do with Prince Edward for prince Ericsson to lose control.
Prince Ericsson was still angry but he let Lady Magret pull him away. She took him outside the inner to a lowly road.
"you should have let me kill them, after all, nobody would find me after today," prince Ericsson said with displeasure.. The only reason he had allow her to pull him away was because he was scared of hurting her or the baby if he struggles.
