You are a lady?" Prince Roderick asked. He felt he was only overthinking things. so when she saw her flush and bend her head, he become curious.

"Tell Me," The prince demand, and lady Magret nodded her head.

"How?" The prince was surprised and amazed at the same time. Lady Magret blabbed a bunch of nonsense and acted shy.

"I want to see you dress like a lady," prince Roderick said. He was naturally curious about what she looked like, seeing that she was a very handsome man in her male disguise. He did not wait for her to agree before he pulled her with him into the palace. He Ordered a maid to dress her up and Lady Magret cooperated.

When she stepped out she looked so beautiful that the young prince was smitten. So he decided to marry her.

Which man will refuse to Marry a beauty like lady Magret? So he took her as his second wife since he already married Julia's mother as of that time

Prince Sebastian looked at the Queen. He did not find it hard to join the pieces together but he was just surprised by the revelation.

"General Mason is my uncle Erickson?" Prince Sebastian asked and Queen Magret nodded her head.

"If you protected me this much, then why have you been acting indifferent all the while?" Prince Sebastian asked. Now that he knew the true a lot of things made sense to him.

His mother had ensured that it was General Mason that trained him growing up. His mother occasionally watch them. What he still could not understand is why she put him at arm length.

In fact it was General Mason who suggested the first time to him to wear a mask.

"I had to be close to the king. He killed his father three months after he become the crown prince. You have to keep your friends close and your enemy closer," Queen Magret said.

Prince Sebastian nodded his head. His mother needed to be close to the king to know his plans. "If you did not love the king, why did you turn me into this to save his life?" Prince Sebastian asked.

Since he turned twelve he has always thought his mother sacrifice a part of him to save her husband but hearing that his mother did not love the king made him wonder her real reason.

"Ericsson was also at war, there is no way I would let him dead. In the entire kingdom he is the only one I can trust to protect you. Moreover, I understand how the four kingdom that rose against Avalo at that time work.

I am from vemuns and I knew what they where capable of doing. During the war, I had sneeked into Venum. The planned to whip Avalo from the face of the earth. Saving a part of you was better than your death," Queen Magret explained.

The prince nodded his head. His mother had gone through all this to ensure that he sat on the throne. He knew that when the king plot to whip out Avalo their target would be the royal family. He still had a few questions for his mother, like why the king was still alive but he swallowed back his question.

Killing the king will not be something easy to do. Or maybe the Queen was just allowing the king feel powerful before he would be killed.

"You have to warn your wife to be careful. Lady Catherine would try to take revenge. She is just like her father," Queen Magret warned.

"Is this why you agreed to meet me?" The prince raised his brows.

"Yes, I have to warn you, your redemption lays in the hands of your wife," Queen Magret said.

What? The prince was surprised by this Revelation. He had asked to meet his mother to ask about the river of truth.

"What are you saying?" Prince Sebastian asked. His heart was racing very fast as she looked at his mother. If he remembers very his mother did not spare a glance when he took the princess to meet his par

Queen Magret took a deep breath. "The princess has a pure heart. Your redemption lays with her," Queen Magret said.

"How? " prince Sebastian asked. He was still a bit confused by his mother's words.

"After the war years ago, I want back to the mountains of the old gods. The lady I met the day your father was stabbed did promised to help me if I decided to have you," Queen Magret explain.

"What did she say?" Prince Sebastian asked seeing that his mother has become quite.

"She said, you could visit the river of truth and seek your redemption or you could find a wife with a pure heart. If she willing bears you a child, then you would be redeemed. The beast that has shares your soul would die," Queen Magret said.

Ever since she found out this truth years ago, she has sought to find a wife with a pure heart for her son but she had failed. Who would have thought that her son would randomly marry a wife to annoy the king and she turns out to have a pure heart.

Queen Magret never thought that sure a pure person could be find among the Royal or noble. Must of this ladies were very vicious.

"So you are saying that having a child with my wife will cure me of this curse?" Prince Sebastian asked. He felt so happy hearing this news.

Previously He had thought he would need to travel to the river of truth. Who knew that his problem was already half way solved.

"Yea, if she does it willingly," Queen Magret nodded her head. She discovered that prince Ellen had a pure heart when she hugged her during the royal court sitting.

At first Queen Magret was going to ignore her and let her die. After all she did not want her son having a child with anyone else, except a woman that would bring him cure. But Queen Magret has decided to help because she was impressed with her performance.

Queen Magret was funny herself. She naturally saw through her act but it was so flawless that the Queen decided to help out.

Princess Ellen proved to the Queen that she would protect her husband's Image in public. This has been what saved the princess life, who would have thought the Queen's actions would also save her son.

"Willingly," prince Sebastian whispered to himself. He was not sure if his sunshine would be willing to bear his child willing. It did not matter to him anyway.

If she was unwilling, he could simple go to the river of truth. Then when he returned cured he would make her like him. He was not sure if her feelings will be like that of his mother for his father but he would be happy even if it was just a little likeness.

"Julia.. The prince paused and look at his mother. " Do you think the king will behead him for my sake?" The prince asked. He has a lots of doubt in his mind.

Julia was the king's favourite son. It was impossible for the king to put him to death so easily. He just had the feeling that that the king was up to something.

"He plans to kill someone else in three days time. As we speak he already contacted Mason, to help do the switch. Julia will be taken out of the kingdom tonight or so," The Queen replied.

"Do you plan to let him go? Julia has made many attempts on my life in the past year's. He is just like his father," prince Sebastian said. The only reason why he has not killed him years was because he could not kill his own blood.

"Don't worry about him, your uncle will handle him. The King feel so smart. He thinks that having Mason do his death job will hid all trace. Too bad," the Queen shook her head.

Prince Sebastian felt relieve. He never thought that his mother had his back. All his life he had thought his mother did not care about him. It turns out that his mother has been doing everything to protect him.

He felt so blessed having her by his side. At least he could sleep more peaceful knowing that he had his mother to watch over him.

Queen Magret looked at her sin, who looked just like the main she had meet twenty five years ago. If she was not certain that time has passed by, she would have thought that everything till now was but a dream.

A smile played on her lips just looking at him. Her son was going to fulfil the prophesy that his father failed.

Fate was indeed strange. The prophesy said that the marriage between she and the late prince will bring peace among the twelve kingdoms.. It turns out that this has nothings to do with the marriage itself but their son.
