218 Marry her.

Inside the king's study

"Father, you sent for me," princess Ellen took a deep breath when she noticed that the king was indeed inside the study. 

"yes, come and take your seat," King George gesture to the empty seat. Richard already took their seat. Prince Sébastien followed the princess to the study but did not come inside, since his presence was not required.

"I heard what happened earlier, thank you for protecting mother," Richard said. He was scared when he heard that lady Regina tried to take his mother.

The woman had separated him once from his mother to threaten her, he could not imagine what would have happened. He did not want to lose anyone close to him in the name of fighting for the throne. 

"It is okay, but you should know that lady Regina will not just give up after a single try. You should watch your back. Especially Ann, if you are not careful she may be the sacrifice you will give in exchange for the throne," princess Ellen said.
