Cursed Daughter Looking for a Mate
Chapter 30 Armistice

The king paced back and forth in his study to calm down. Leroy regretted his decision for not telling the origin of the curse to his children. The fault of the ancestors is not the fault of the children who do not know anything about this. He just wants his children to feel proud because they have been born as a royal family.

Her gaze was sidetracked by the incoming Queen after making sure her first daughter was fine.

"You don't have to be that hard on Ellaine, honey." The queen immediately approached her husband.

Leroy looked at his wife full of fear. "I'm afraid that the curse will move on to Ellaine, dear."

The queen stroked her husband's back. "The Spirit King has forgiven the royal family, dear. The proof is that Julliane's curse is gone and she can summon spirits."

Leroy sat down while continuing to hold his head. "It is true, but what if the Spirit King's anger is ignited again because Ellaine came to the place where the first Queen of the Yuvinere Works was killed. Worst chance the curse will continue in the royal bloodline."

The Queen hugged the King's neck continuously calming him down. She knew what her husband did because he cared about their son. However, deep in her heart, the Queen was also terrified when the curse continued. One of their children will suffer for giving birth to a cursed child. Fear of not being able to love a child completely and fear of contracting a curse. This always covers the Queen's heart.

"I don't want something like my brother to happen again. My father abandoned him, he never bothered my brother as his son. My brother's hatred grew so much that he tried to kill his other brothers and sisters. And my father mercilessly killed him. The horrors of the curse affect not only the person affected by the curse but also those around him. Actually I'm afraid my sanity will run out if I keep seeing our daughter get cursed. Plus the declining royal finances are driving me crazy. I'm afraid to be like my father." The king hugged the Queen's back.

"I'm not gonna let you be like that, honey." The queen stroked her husband's head.

They hope nothing bad happens to their daughter. To maintain their increasingly thin sanity.

***

Ellaine did not notice Lionel blabbering at length about his wealth. His father's anger kept ringing in his head. He will make up for it by obeying his father. He did not want his family to be disappointed.

Julliane observed Ellaine and Lionel from a distance while waiting for the right time to come to them. Lionel reached into his pocket, picking up the lavishly decorated box. He thrust it at Ellaine.

"This is for you. Open it, Princess."

Still giving gifts. Is there any other way to show love?

Julliane stepped foot to protect her sister. Ellaine opened the box. His eyes widened to find a necklace decorated with the most expensive jewels in the kingdom. He wants to give it back but refusing to give others is disrespectful. So, Ellaine tried to smile while thanking him.

"May I put it on?" ask Lionel.

Jullaine had arrived between the two of them. Lionel's feathers goosebumps remembering Ian's threats and Julliane's actions on his gifts. Seringai Julliane scares her.

"Where did you get that ugly necklace, Elle?" julliane asked pretending not to know.

Jullianne turned to Lionel. "Ah, it turns out you're here, Young Master Crowley. I'm not seeing you. So this is from you, better bring back your gift. My sister doesn't fit this necklace." Julliane hands over Lionel's gift necklace.

When she was about to fight back, Julliane looked at her sharply. Julliane's mouth spoke silently to warn Lionel.

"Don't disturb my sister or your reward I'll burn."

Lionel understood Julliane's words. He did not want his money to float in vain so his reward was received with a heavy heart. "I'm sorry for not understanding your taste, Princess. I'm retreating."

Lionel immediately left the palace. Ellaine breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Sister Juli." Julliane smiled at her sister. He'll kick everyone out to disturb his sister until they're bored. Only the person who truly loved Ellaine could approach her.

Meanwhile, in front of the palace gate Lionel met with Beckett and Kyler. His head greeted them. Nobles with lower titles should pay respect to people of higher standing. Beckett asked Lionel to raise his head.

"Do you want to approach Princess Ellaine?" ask Beckett.

Lionel looked at Beckett with concern. He is afraid to be removed because it prevents the Prince who is trying to get the heart of the Princess.

"I don't intend to hurt you. I want us to work together to get close to Princess Ellaine" Beckett explained.

"In what way?" Lionel raised one of his eyebrows.

This will benefit all three of them. Although the three of them were enemies, a truce had to be made to defeat Ellaine's powerful defensive wall. With the unification of the three walls of Ellaine's defense, Julliane, will be defeated.

"The way is by not approaching Princess Ellaine," Beckett suggested nodding.

Lionel and Kyler are wondering to hear Beckett.

"How could not approaching Princess Ellaine be called a plan?" ask Lionel.

"Can you be trusted?" ask Kyler.

"We're going to let Princess Julliane off guard by pretending to give up. Princess Ellaine we will approach secretly without Princess Julliane's knowledge."

Lionel and Kyler looked at each other. He smiled at Beckett. "Good idea."

'This cooperation is only temporary. I'm the one who's gonna get Princess Ellaine, the three of them.
