Chapter 152 - Resolving Conflict

Because Mars worded his request in such a way, Ellena really couldn't say anything else She heard it loudly and clearly, even though the words were uttered in such gentle tone, that the prince saw her as a sister

Her love was one-sided and her devotion, though appreciated, was unrequited

She felt like a fool

Was it really because she returned too late?

No Mars repeated that he loved her as a friend then, and he loved her like a sister now He just wasn't romantically interested in her

Even back then, when he asked her to be his no, if he ever had any romantic interest in Ellena

Should she take her cue and leave?

Ellena ondering if Mars was now ronant based on an agreement

The prince didn't say that he loved Emmelyn and wanted to inning, his main concern was his heirs He needed children to continue his family line

It was moors had successors to take over pohen the tis had concubines to address the issues of having enough heirs and spares They would haveJared was an exception because he loved his wife toomultiple wives or concubines

Plus, who could say that if the king took concubines they wouldn't bear cursed children too?

However, with Mars, Ellena couldn't really tell what he wanted The prince had been alone for most of his life He only had male friends and cousins and one female friend, that was herself

Mars never had the opportunity to court a woht not even kno So maybe this woman was really only a tool for hihness" Ellena lowered her head and finally replied to Mars' request "You knoill always support you You have my loyalty and uth He was glad that Ellena decided to respond that way Now at least he could buy time to resolve any potential conflict

Meanwhile, the king observed their interaction with interest He understood what Mars was doing The prince was his son after all King Jared cleared his throat and spoke

"Ashis first child Noe know that he is no longer cursed because he could touch women However, we don't knoill happen to the child, whether he will be affected by the curse or not The crown prince ht when he told us that he needs to wait until the child is born to see if he will be born healthy and strong"

The king added, "Thus, I think there is no need to push for a wedding with anyone until the baby is born and we canis well As for you, Lady Ellena, you have done a great service to this kingdoot the reward you deserve"

He looked at Ellena and showed his rare ss to hi that he s his decision, everyone in the roo was sincere and serious about his words
