Meanwhile, princess Ellen was already at the ball with Prince Sébastien. Hering all the different versions of the rumor going round she felt very pleased.
Even if Ann was previously a maid no one dares mention it. They were afraid of offending the Royal family. Princess Ellen kept looking at the door the king will use when he arrives but he was nowhere to be seen. She had a feeling that something was not right so she decided to check.
Prince Sébastien naturally followed her. Princess Ellen tried to be positive but when she got to the stairs leading to Ann's new room and saw the blood she was immediately alert. She had thought that with the king's protection Ann will be fine but she was wrong.
She followed the trace of blood and like she has expected Ann was been placed on the bed by her father. Without much thought princess Ellen run over. The first thing she could think of was to clean the injury and stop the beading.
