章 59: A million possible torture.

"There are enough witnesses to the words I have spoken today. Or are you afraid of fighting the woman you had a knife against her throat?" the Queen asked, there was a trace of sarcasm in her tone.

"I accept," General Thompson replied. He could not explain why but he knew the Queen definitely had some tricks off her sleeve. He was unaware of her skills when it comes to fighting but he could never guess she was capable of killing him. He was still a general after all. The King shook his head. As much as he would have loved to save his friend from this current situation there was nothing he could do.

If there was no war looping around the kingdom then he would have taken the decision he wanted but he could not do that. He could not afford enemies from within the kingdom talk more of within the royal family. He knew his wife was a good fighter but he could not be so sure about her current state.

In the end, the king was glad about the outcome. At least neither his wife nor friend's blood would be on his hands. He loved the idea of them fighting it out. There was no other way for him to determine the truth.

"The kingdom is at war currently, the battle of truth will hold when the crown prince returns in victory," the king declared. General Thompson and the Queen bowed at his words.

.....

"Your highness, you have to return to the prince's quarters. You can not come with us," Jeffery said as he got ready to mount his horse. There was no way he would take her to a war front. The prince would have his head if something happened to his wife.

"No, I want to come. I heard what the man said. His highness is injured," Ellen said. She was worried about him since she heard about the prince's injury. She knew she did not want him to die. She was already married to Avalo and she knew that his death will only make her life more complicated.

She would not be allowed to return to Bozoa because she is believed to have learned the secret of Avalo. so chances are that she would become a mistress to one of the princes.

Who knew how her new husband will treat her. So she desperately wanted the safety of her husband

"What can you do about his injury," Nine questioned  there was obvious irritation in his voice. He did not even try to hide the disrespect as he spoke.

"During the war, I took care of the injured, I can help with his injuries," Princess Ellan answered not minding the tone the man had spoken to her with. She was confident in her ability to help the prince.

Jeffery pause and for the first time, he realizes that they would need someone to take care of the prince.

"Ahh! You must take us for fools. What can a princess know about taking care of the injured? Besides, why should we trust you to take care of our prince when you can use the opportunity to kill him," One spat.

Ellen felt helpless she was not angry she knew his statement was reasonable but she was determined to go. If there was something she has learned in her few days of staying in Avalo is the fact that many people wanted her husband dead but not her.

"I do not want to become a widow. Tell me what will become of me if my husband dies. I can't return home, so I promise not to harm him. Just let me take care of his wounds. His living is more of a benefit to me than his death, " Ellen pleaded in all honesty.

A few men still wanted to argue but they saw the warning from Jeffery and so they shut their mouths. The fact remained they needed a physician that would take care of the prince and if there is a person that he could trust with the prince's life it was Ellen. Although he had not known her for long he knew a lot of things about her and one of those was the fact that Ellen wanted to live. So he believed that she would not do anything that can cost her life.

"Your highness we are going to a war front and we would be using horses. Can you ride one?" Jeffery asked.

"Yes," Ellen replied nodding her head as though her life depended on it.

"Get a horse for her," Jeffery ordered and Ellen almost jumped in joy. The horse arrived soon with Grater. When she chased after Jeffery she asked Grater to meet her maid and asked them to give a certain box to her.

Grater obeyed without question and headed to the prince quarter and collected it. She brought it to the princess at the right time. Princess Ellen felt relieved. Inside the box contained medicine that could be used on injuries. The head physician had given it to her after working with him for two years in the camp of the injured.

"What is in that box?" Seven questioned? He did not trust the princess because he knew for a fact that she was forced into marrying the prince.

Princess Ellen said nothing but opened the box for all to see. They all turned away not knowing what to say. Seeing that she had a box that contains such things made some assured that she knew what she was doing. While a few doubted her even more.

Jeffery shook his head, he knew the prince would not appreciate them treating his bride the way they did but he said nothing. After all, they were reacting that way because they cared about the prince.

Ellen closed the box seeing that no one said anything and got ready to mount her horse. She was surprised that One came over to help her mount the horse.

"I will give you the most painful death if you do anything to his highness," One whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear. Ellen shivered at his words.

There was something about the way One said it that made her believe he would do it. Good thing she had no plans to hurt the prince. A million possible tortures flashed through her mind. The man's eyes promised more than the weight of his words.

"I am just a damsel, does he have to sound so scary?' Ellen complains in her heart.
