Peace offering to the cursed prince

Meanwhile, Jane found her way to the Royal Palace and requested to meet the prince.

Prince William came over shortly to meet her. He had a smile on his face as he walked over to meet her.

He could hear his Mum's voice in his ear. "You have to be nice to her and treat her very well. Lord Zorander cares a lot about love in a marriage. otherwise, he would never approve of you marrying his granddaughter. You have to remember why you are doing this. You need the favor of the nobles if you will ever sit on your father's throne," she advised.

It is not that he did not like Jane, is just that the girl could act childish a lot.

"Your Highness," Jane got up from her seat and bowed to the prince when he was close to her.

"You don't have to be so formal with me, love. Trust me, if there were no many important matters for the king, we did be engaged already,"  prince Williams said in a nice and caring voice.

Treat her right.
