mother, you just informed us the importance of this breakfast, Do you feel comfortable slapping yourself in the face like this?" Sebastian asked in a gentle voice.

    "Ahh! Even if you no longer care about your face I do," Sebastian added without giving her a chance to say a word.

    When lady Magret heard his words she was so angry that she choked. Ericsson who was seated quietly all the while poured out water and handed it over to lady Magret without a word.

    No matter how lady Magret wanted to argue with the king she could not find any words to refuse him, so she picked up her spoon and started eating.

    The dining hall fell into a pin drop silence. Everyone concentrated on their food. Lady Emilia felt regretful if she had known that the king will not give his mother any face then she would not have spoken a word.

    The only reason why she had remained in the palace, was to continue to live the good life. She had given birth to just one son and he was stoned to death. Is not that she did not know what her son did back then, she only did not expect him to have such an ending.

    Today, she had supported lady Magret because she was hoping on building a good relationship with her. It was an open secret in the palace that lady Magret did not like her son.

    Although, it was now proven that Sensation was not the son of the late king. Since the lords and nobles did not let lady Magret explain to them what has happened back then, different people came up with different conclusions.

    For instance, lady Emilia believed that lady Magret had walked hand in hand with King Rodrick to kill his brother. Seeing how many ladies Magret had adored the late king, she felt that the reason why she (lady Magret) hated her son so much was that he was not the son of the man she loved.

    She felt regretful because she thought that no matter what the king will always give his mother a face. She knew just like everyone in the palace that the young Sebastian listen to his mother even when he dares to challenge the king.

    Who would have thought that after getting married to a beautiful woman like the princess from Bozoa he would no longer give his mother face? It turns out that if she wanted to live a good life in the palace and get a chance to take revenge for her son, then the person dhe needed to build a good relationship with is the new queen.

    The breakfast came to a peaceful end. "Can I have a word with you Son?" lady Magret said the moment the king dropped his spoon. She emphasizes the word son in other to be able to speak freely and scold him if need be.

    Sebastian nodded his head. "How can you ask me to obey a rule you expected your wife from. Even if you are now the king, I am still your mother," lady Magret said.

    "Mother, you asked why she was absent and I told you she was tired and needed to rest. As the one responsible for how tired she is, How do you expect me to be so unfair and ask her to come out early for breakfast when I did not let her sleep?" Sebastian raised his brows.

    Lady Magret felt speechless. How did she not know that her son was this Shameless how could he fluent sure a thing before his mother?

    The hint in Sebastian''s words was too obvious that no one seated at the table could miss it, even if you wanted to pretend to be dumb.

    Rose and Danny, could not help but blush. This was the most feared man in the twelve kingdoms yet he could say sure things in the presence of so many people.

    "I understand, I hope she will be present for lunch," Lady Magret could only say this before she got up to her feet and left. She did not dare say more afraid that he will say more embarrassing things. Others might have missed it but she saw the playful glint in his eyes.

    Lady Emilia also excused herself, she felt her earlier assumption was right, the king was carried away with his wife''s beauty and so she was his favorite person at this moment and she plan to take advantage of it.

    "Uncle, you should think of picking a wife," Sebastian turned seeing that his uncle was still seated. Ericsson did not know how to react.  He did not understand how he become the target of the king.

    "I will hold a royal ball in two days, We will find a way to arrange for a wife for you then," Sebastian said seeing that his uncle remain quiet.

    "Jeffery make the arrangements," Sebastian instructed.

    "Yes your Ma.....," Jeffrey got up on his feet but before he could finish speaking Ericsson cut him off.

    "I do not plan to take a wife in this lifetime," Ericsson said. It is not that the prince has never liked a woman before but that woman already belongs to someone else so he decided not to get another.

    "Why?" Sebastian raised his brows, he could guess the possible reason but he wanted to hear it from his uncle.

    "After my brother''s death and I found out about your mother and you, I pledged my life to protect the two of you. Moreover, I am already this old," Ericsson said.

    When the other people seated at the table heard his words they were speechless after all he looks like someone who was in his twenties. These people did not have an idea of his age. If not because they knew for a fact that he was Sebastian''s uncle they would have considered them brothers.

    "You do not look old at all, I am sure many young ladies will be willing. Moreover, you have taken care of me and my mother for so long already, it is time to do something for yourself," Sebastian replied.

    "No, I do not have to get married and complicate our families more," Ericsson refused.

    "Nonsense, when you were young you agreed with Father that your wives will be good friend''s just like your mothers. If you live your life taking care of my father''s responsibility he will no rest in peace," Sebastian said.

    Ericsson still wanted to argue but he could not find the right words so he remains quiet. "Jeffery, go ahead,"  Sebastian said seeing that his uncle was tongue-tied.

    Jeffery bowed his head but before he could take a step they heard a noise coming from outside the dining hall.
