Cursed Daughter Looking for a Mate
Chapter 48 Ellaine's Birthday

Ellaine's Birthday Palace Flower Part Novel

All eyes were on the girl in a black dress and mask that covered her entire face except for her eyes and mouth. Guests at Ellaine's birthday party immediately dodged the fear of the Cursed Princess. Their whispers rang out into Julliane's ears.

"Would he come?"

"I guess Princess Julliane wasn't invited."

"He must be looking for attention."

"What the fuck is that black dress? Is he going to the funeral?"

Ellaine gripped Beckett's arm tighter and tighter. Didn't want Ellaine to feel worried Beckett returned petting Ellaine's hand while smiling to calm her down. Beckett's smile was replaced with anger when he saw Julliane. An unacceptable and needed bully should not need to come.

Julliane's footsteps come to a standstill, blocked by Kyler and Lionel. Not caring for the two men, he lowered his head to greet his sister and Beckett.

"Happy birthday, my sister. Congratulations on your engagement to Prince Beckett. I'm happy too."

The whisper was getting louder and louder like gossip. Ellaine closed her eyes unable to hear the bad words about her brother. He wanted to close his ears but it was completely disrespectful.

"Thank you, Brother Julliane. What's the matter brother came here?" elaine asked, opening her eyes slowly. Her speech was so gentle it did not look hatred towards her brother.

Julliane clucked annoyed that even her sister did not want her presence. "Can't I come? They can do it, "take Julliane.

It was a misunderstanding, Ellaine wanted her sister to come but she would only be made a bitch by people. "Non-"

Beckett interjected cynically, "Ellaine just wants the best for her birthday party. You know for yourself that your existence will invite chaos, Princess Julliane."

"Yes!" yell at everyone. 

Julliane circulated an angry look. The eyes of disgust were still thrown at him, without compassion. "Why am I always being ostracized?"

"Am I wrong to see my sister?" His voice was growing and trembling.

"I am human just like you! Why are you always treated differently?! Never once did I want to be born like this!" Julliane's screams filled the room. Silence happened. Just the sound of gusts and sighs of Julliane who took pains to calm down. Ellaine tries to calm her brother down but Beckett pulls her off.

The King and Queen were talking to guests in another room. How surprised they were to find Julliane in the middle of a party. The King's anger peaked as his first daughter became increasingly unruly.

"Go back to the palace of concubines, Julliane!" the King shouted closer to Julliane.

"Even you don't want me here" replied Julliane cynically.

Her first daughter was getting more and more disoriented. The King's hand floated faster than his words. Julliane's mask slipped off, revealing a curse tattoo almost filling her entire face. Shouts of gasp were held in the mouths of the people. Ellaine closed her mouth wide open. Unable to see Julliane's face, the King and Queen turned in the other direction. 

The guest's eyes pierced Julliane's heart. It felt so tight, he couldn't breathe here. He took his mask and left the party. 

The king calmed down the entire invited guest as if it had been just an ordinary mess. The star of this party looks gloomy thinking about her brother. Beckett distracts Ellaine from the mess Julliane has created. In the end, everyone had fun forgetting the Cursed Princess.

Present-day

Julliane observed the decoration in the party hall. Ellaine's birthday party is more grand than a debutante's party. Though the kingdom's finances deteriorated but instead spent money on unimportant things. It seemed pointless that Julliane worked hard but her money was thrown away so easily.

"Why was Elle so long?" edgar asked as he sipped his orange juice. In three years he could drink wine.

Ellaine is not here yet. The main star of the day came last to add to the curiosity of the entire guest. Julliane had come earlier with Edgar and his parents.

"It's his birthday party, so he should be eagerly awaited," replied Julliane slightly chuckling.

The person being talked about has arrived. Ellaine was like the sun shining brightly during the day, even though it was already night. No one was able to take their eyes off the beauty of the second princess of the Kingdom. Julliane clapped her hands full with pride at the fruits of her hard work and her sister's unparalleled beauty. Other guests followed him causing the festive atmosphere.

Maybe because Carlos isn't here. 

"Tonight we'll announce something."

Julliane's heart was beating. His father's words were the same as in the novel.

There's no way the King said that Ellaine would be engaged, right? It's just my bad feeling. After all, the King promised not to marry Ellaine.

However, Julliane's premonition was correct.

"My daughter Ellaine will be engaged to Prince Beckett of the Kingdom of Lortamort" Leroy said, to the applause of the royals present.

Leroy's words were ringing in Julliane's head. He looked at Edgar who was just as confused as he was. 

Beckett stepped on the red carpet full of confidence. He approached Ellaine and kissed her hand. Ellaine's smile continued to be singled out without happiness in it. Beckett glanced at Julliane grinning.

Julliane clenched her hands to shout at her father. 

How bad was the kingdom's finances until he sacrificed his daughter, when I had already raised money, wasn't that enough? I don't think it will be enough if the royal family continues to fumble like this.

He also remembered Ellaine's question. Ellaine prefers to sacrifice her feelings like in a novel for her family. If you know like this, he will answer better to think of your own happiness.

"Ed, until any time do not be like Dad," said Julliane.

Edgar wanted to say something but his brother went. Edgar's gaze shifted to his second brother who was smiling forcefully. A birthday that should be full of happiness is actually the worst day ever.

Julliane headed for the concubine's palace with her legs galloping. He screamed loudly in the middle room.

"DUMB KING!"

Jullaine caught her breath, convinced herself not to hate her father. The sound of footsteps came closer to him. Anxiety begins to possess Julliane.

What if someone hears me blaspheming the King? I made sure no one followed me.

Julliane turned around, in front of her stood a black hooded person. He retreated slowly, being alert.

"Who are you?" ask Julliane to get ready to call Letta.

That guy sniffed his hood. "It's me, Princess Julliane."

"Carlos?" Julliane shakes her head in confusion.

Guard at the palace was tightened at the party hall area. The number of guards was only sufficient guarding the palace gates and the party hall. It had been a long wait, only this time he had managed to enter the palace. He infiltrated one under the horse-drawn carriage. Afterwards he settles into the palace of concubines.

"I'm sorry, surprise you, Princess Julliane." Carlos lowered his head.

"Why are you here?" 

"Please cancel the engagement between Princess Ellaine and Prince Beckett. Princess Ellaine won't be happy with him." Submit Carlos deepening. He no longer knew who to ask for help.

Julliane knew about it. He also wanted to cancel the engagement of his sister and Beckett. But....

"I can't do it, Carlos."

Carlos prostrate. His head was lowered to the floor. "I beg you, I'll do anything."

Julliane helps Carlos to stand up. He shook his head.

"Only Ellaine and Raj can cancel it" Julliane said.
