The Cursed Prince Chapter 24

Chapter 24 - The Queen's Plan

Emmelyn had no choice but to obey Mars's words. Besides, she was also hungry, and she hated wasting good food just because she couldn't use her good hand. She opened her mouth and took a bite of meat from the fork the prince was holding.

Mars nodded with satisfaction. He cut the meat on Emmelyn's plate into little pieces and fed her some more. After the girl finished the meat on her plate, he then gave her the fruit slices.

Emmelyn ate heartily. It couldn't be denied that she had not tasted good food for a long time, so she would not miss the opportunity to enjoy all the food that was served in front of her.

Queen Elara was beaming when she heard reports from the informant she sent to the Crown Prince's castle.

"So … they made love passionately last night, huh? What? Everyone in the castle could hear them? Wow! That's amazing! I know my son will not lack in that department," she chuckled and glanced at her husband in a knowing look.

The king pretended not to hear their conversation, but people could see his eyes were filled with pride.

Yes, he may not be a good looking man, but he had stamina and he could satisfy his wife with mindblowing sex. That's how, he, an average looking man could keep such a beautiful wife. Queen Elara was as pretty as the elf queen in fairy tales. She was the definition of perfection, and she loved him.

Ahem… enough about the king and queen's sex life, though. Now, we have to get back to the most important issue. The cursed prince and his heirs.

"I am so happy to hear this. If they keep going at it, I will surely get my grandchild very soon," said the queen with obvious excitement.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Everyone in the castle could hear they did the deed," said the informant with a flushed face. He also heard everything clearly when he came there to snoop. The man cleared his throat. "This morning, I also saw His Highness Prince Mars feeding his woman."

"Jeez … is that so? Ah … so romantic. This makes me really happy. He must really like that girl. Ahhh … I can't wait to hear the stories about how they met and fell in love." Queen Elara pressed her hand against her chest. She was over the moon like she was the one who fell in love.

The informant was about to say something, but then he remembered Prince Mars's fierce expression. He was suddenly worried about talking too much. Yes, the queen ordered him to spy on the prince. However, soon, Mars would be the king and his orders would be the law. He must not be on the prince's bad side for whatever reason.

The informant felt he shouldn't talk too much and told the queen how Emmelyn disguised herself as the crown prince's servant to kill him. There must be a reason why the crown prince didn't divulge that information to his mother by himself. The queen would be furious.

Hmm … it seemed, in order to keep his head, he must know for sure that the information he would convey to Queen Elara would not make Prince Mars angry with him. The informant cleared his throat.

"I heard they met a month ago, Your Majesty. Lady Emmelyn has lived in the prince's castle for a month."

"Ahhh .. so her name is Emmelyn, huh? "Queen Elara nodded with a smile. Her face looked very satisfied. "It's a lovely name. Do you know where Lady Emmelyn came from?"

The informant shook his head quickly. "I will go back and find out. I beg your majesty to be patient."

"Hmm … okay," said Queen Elara. She elbowed her husband who had been silent throughout the whole conversation. "Your Majesty, I think we should hold a special dinner to welcome our future daughter-in-law."

The king nodded. "I'll let you handle everything, My Love."

"Ha. Very nice. I will summon Mars to the palace later in the afternoon and talk about throwing a family dinner to welcome Emmelyn to this palace."

After sending the informant back to the crown prince's castle, Queen Elara immediately called some of her ladies in waiting and discussed with them about preparing a special dinner.

"I have to think of an excuse to invite the girl here," muttered the queen as she tapped her beautiful slender fingers on the table. "My son said he did not want to introduce her to us just yet."

"Your Majesty … the crown prince's birthday is around the corner. Why don't you make it an excuse to throw a party and invite Lady Emmelyn here?" asked Lady Preston, who was smarter than her peers. "I am sure the prince wouldn't be able to say no. It's also a good way to dispel rumors that the crown prince is gay. You can kill two birds with one stone."

"Ahh .. you're right." The queen's face brightened again. She was really bothered by the nasty rumors spread by certain people who wanted to smear her son's reputation. Other men his age would already have 2 or 3 kids by now, but Mars never even dated anyone.

"As usual, whenever we throw a royal ball, we still have to provide security around Prince Mars, so that no girl will touch His Highness," another lady added.

"Hmm… that's another good idea. Then we must immediately make preparations," said the Queen happily. "Ahh .. I can't wait to meet my future daughter-in-law!"

***

Meanwhile, in the crown prince's castle:

"Achoo!!" Emmelyn sneezed many times. Luckily all of her food had been chewed and swallowed, so she didn't spit food out at the prince who sat beside her when she sneezed.

"What happened to you?" asked Mars in astonishment.

"I don't know," Emmelyn replied. She wiped her lips with a napkin, but because she was not used to using her left hand, there was still some crumbs on the right corner of her lips that she failed to wipe.

Mars shook his head while taking the napkin from Emmelyn's hand. He started rubbing the right corner of the girl's lips.

"You eat like a child. So messy," commented the prince. Then he got up and put the napkin on the table. "I have to get back to training my troops. We'll have battle practice in Southberry in a few days. I am having a bet with my cousin that my army will win."

Emmelyn rolled her eyes. [I hope you will lose.]

"Don't forget to write down all the foods you like and give the cook the list. You have to eat well."

[Tch. Of course, you want to fatten me up for the job.]

Mars stood for a moment, looking at Emmelyn. He looked like he was about to say something, but nothing came out of his lips. His attitude baffled the girl.

[What is this bastard going to do? Why is he looking at me like that? Didn't he just eat? Why does his face look hungry? Ugh… Freak.]

Mars seemed hesitant, but then he resolved himself. He leaned over and kissed Emmelyn on the lips.

His face was flushed, and his lips could not hide a faint smile when he said goodbye to the girl. "I'll go now."

The man then rushed out of the dining room, out of the castle, and on horseback to meet his troops in the courtyard.

Emmelyn touched her lips that Mars just kissed, and she frowned.

Because the kiss was so short, almost like a peck, Emmelyn didn't feel the need to rub her lips hard to get rid of the trace.

The Cursed Prince

The Cursed Prince

Status: Ongoing Author:

This book is about baby-making.

The crown prince was cursed on the day he was born, that he will never be happy. What's worse, no woman could touch him without dying. Thus, finding a wife to produce an heir became the royal family's greatest challenge since the prince is the only son.

Until one day.. a servant girl who tried to kill him didn't end up dying after they touched. Emmelyn was a princess from one of their colonies who vowed to avenge her family's death by killing the crown prince. And that's how she ended up in his castle.

Seeing that she was the only woman he could have a sexual relationship with, without killing her, the prince made an agreement to let her go and free her kingdom from his oppression if she produced for him three heirs.

Emmelyn said yes, but every day that they were together, she made plans to kill him and get her revenge.

Can Emmelyn get what she wanted, or would she be entangled deeper with the enemy who was deemed as the devil incarnate himself by his enemies?

EXCERPT:
"You will be the mother of my children," said the man in a commanding tone. His shameless words rendered Emmelyn speechless and shocked, more so, than the kiss he landed on her lips earlier. "I need three children from you."

"Eh ... wait.. what? Hold on a minute," Emmelyn, who was moved from her shock, hurriedly rubbed her lips roughly as if trying to remove the devil's marks from them. "I don't want to be your wife! I don't want to marry you, you devil!!"

The man frowned and squinted his eyes menacingly. "Who said anything about marriage?"

THE NEXT DAY
"Let's go," said the prince.
"Let's go where?" Emmelyn asked, not understanding.
"Let's go make babies."
