"We will let Lady Ellena rest," said his father firmly He then turned to Duke Preston "Please, take care of Ellena and don't let anything happen to her I will provide more protection for your fahts"

The duke could only bow his head and thank the king, even though inwardly he knew the king meant the 'protection' as a way to keep his fa's hts under hi Jared only used the that his fa, Duke Preston couldn't help but think King Jared wanted to make sure that the Prestons wouldn't create a commotion in the capital

After what happened today, and the fact that their fae, The PrestonsJared's nepheho had long wanted to take over power

"Thank you so enerosity," said the duke with a fake s Jared and Mars left the Preston'sto each other until they arrived back at the royal palace

"How is Ellena doing?" Queen Ellena asked the twotheirbad had happened

"Mother" Mars suddenly hugged his mother and rested his head on her shoulder At that moment, he was just a son that wanted to find consolation and coainst hi him one misfortune after another

Why was it so hard for hiet killed just for his sake

When he was only one day old, so many people died just because they touched hiood friend, the person he loved like a sister had to sacrifice so et him his freedom

"Oh what happened, my son?" Queen Elara was stunned when suddenly her adult son looked so dejected and helpless She rubbed his back lovingly, trying to relieve his burden, even though she didn't knohat actually bothered hi Jared who spoke and explain the situation to his wife

"Ellena was cursed by the witch She took her heart as collateral If Ellena reveals her location, the witch will crush her heart and Ellena will die," the king said with a sigh "And that foolish girl said she doesn't want to live anymore because our son chose another woman So, she has told us where the witch lives"

"What? Did that mean?" The queen pressed her lips in surprise

"She will die? Yes," King Jared replied

"Oh" Queen Elara felt her knees turn weak
