"Jen are you al...?" Janet asked as she walked into the kitchen with jasper and Allison. They were shocked to find Jen in an intimate position with valet, jasper who became friends with Jen over that short period of time and was already developing feelings for her flushed in anger when he saw another man holding her intimately. He walked over to valet as he held his shoulders trying to intimidate valet. The fire passed through valet's eyes and jasper hurriedly knelt down.
"I-i am sorry your highness, I am sorry, please pardon me" He begged .
"I am taking her with me, you should find another person to work for you" Valet said arrogantly as he draped a shirt over Jen's shoulder, he wanted to pull her but she yanked her arms away from him.
"I am not going back valet, let go of me" She snapped and valet creased his forehead in confusion and stared at Jen who turned her gaze away from him.
"Y-y-our highness, is she your wife?" Janet asked slowly as if not wanting to hear the answer, she saw valet nod his head and she gasped in surprise. They had been treating the princess like their kind, if they had known they would have treated her properly.
"Why didn't you tell me Jen, I- I already" Jasper said running his hands over his hair as he bit his lips hard, why couldn't he control his feelings. Why did he fall in love with the prince wife?
"I am sorry for not telling you, I just want you to treat me like you do to Allison and Janet, I don't want you to think that I am different from you people, besides I am no longer his wife anymore so I would stay here with you people" Jen said to the surprise of valet.
"What are you saying Jen, let's go home" Valet reiterated.
"I am done valet, I don't have anything to do with you anymore please leave" Jen said with a stoic expression that valet thought she was possessed, his tigress wasn't like this. His Jen never talked to him like this, she never treated him indifferently. He tried to control the tears that was threatening to fall from his eyes, he knew whatever she was doing was his fault, he deserved her hatred towards him. Why didn't he punish Fiona, why was it only Jen that suffered for playing with his mind and emotion, he turned to her;
"You have to meet my father, we are already engaged since we were kids, you can't say that you are done. This is your father's last wish for you to marry me" Valet explained as he gently caressed her cheeks, "I am sorry Jen, I regret whatever I have done to hurt you please forgive me" Valet begged again in a dismayed tone.
"I would come with you but that doesn't mean I forgive you" She said as she pulled his hands off her cheeks, she turned to face jasper as she said; "Thank you for treating me like your sister, I am very grateful for what you have done if there is any way I can repay you, just let me know okay. If it's within my capability I would definitely repay you" Jen said with a sweet smile, she leaned in to give him a goodbye kiss on the cheeks. She also thanked Janet and Allison for helping her.
"Bye Jen, we would miss you" Allison said waving her hands at Jen and valet who were walking away.

After Jen had changed into a green dress and her hair braided with the help of the maids who were relieved that she had returned, if she didn't come back only God knows what valet was planning to do, maybe set fire on the castle.
She walked over to the inner palace to meet the king, valet had told her to wait for him but she ignored him and went to meet the king first. She bowed in respect before the king and the king motioned her to sit on the chair nearby.
"Just like your father ambrose said, you really look like your mother, you both are extremely beautiful" The king spoke as he signalled the maids to serve Jen wine.
"About you and valet, your father got you two engaged when you weren't even born. Ambrose predicted that he would have a daughter and I would have a son and that is what happened exactly, I am truly happy to see you and I wish he was alive to see you also. He would be so happy, so happy if he wasn't shot by those bats" The king said.
Valet presence was announced and he hastily went to sit by Jen, "why didn't you wait for me?" He asked but Jen didn't answer him, she was bent on ignoring and frustrating him to death.
"Thanks for your compliments your majesty, I am also happy to see you, it was my father who engaged both of us, I never said I was interested in valet, isn't there a way to renege the contract you both had" Jen asked, valet raised his left eyebrows as he narrowed his eyes at Jen who wasn't even looking at him, she was unbothered by the way she was speaking to the king.
"Dear, there is no way to renege the contract it's between your father and I. He isn't alive to terminate it and I can't terminate it because it was his last wish before he died, you have no choice but to be with valet" The king spoke.
"Jen are you still angry that I punished you, if you want you can punish me also, I can serve you but please just return back to normal, the way you were before we fought. I really missed you and I want you back, look Fiona's gone. It's only you and me, you can have me forever and there's no one coming in between us anymore. I promise that I'll love only you and no other woman, please forgive me okay and let's start again" Valet said, he even went as far as kneeling down for Jen.
"Look how sincere he is, just forgive him alright?, if he does anything to hurt you again I will terminate the marriage contract myself" The king said.
Jen looked over at valet who looked so pitiful, seeing that he looked so sincere and apologetical she forgave him. She was also at fault by lying to him instead of disclosing whatever secret she had she was concealing it from him.
"I am also sorry valet, I lied to you" She whispered in a meek tone and valet's lips twisted into a smile as he stood up to hug her tightly.
