Princess Elise

Chapter 11: Being Locked Up in Her Room

Chapter 11: Being locked up in her room  Elise's Point of View: He's truly a beast! How could he possibly know about Nate? No one was supposed to know about us ... I've never been followed! I am sure of it 'cause I have always checked. That means that he knows about our secret place, that's not so secret anymore, and knows where to find Nate! What if he would go and hurt him? That would be all my fault ... I can't let that happen. For the rest of the night, I've been sitting in my chamber wondering if he had said anything about my secret to anyone or if he would go for Nate himself. I was so stressed that I couldn't even sleep. I kept walking in circles in front of the bed and overthinking what I should do in the morning. Just around 5 or 6 a.m. I got too tired and fell asleep, hugging my pillow. *** The next morning, I got out of bed, brushed my teeth and dressed myself to go downstairs to the dinning room and eat something. I didn't got the chance to eat too much last night. My parents were also in the dinning room, seated at the table with a lot of food and drinks on the table. I greeted my parents good morning and sat down at my father's left and began to eat. -" Elise, what happened last night?", my father asked, stopping eating and looked at me curiously, watching my reaction at his question. -" I was tired and I excused myself. What have you been told that happened?", I replied, acting normal. -" Are you sure that King Nathaniel excused you?", he asked, raising his eyebrow and looking suspiciously at me. -" Haven't he? I don't remember him to complain.", I played it cool, but in fact I have no idea what they have been talking about after I ran away from him. -" No, he haven't. But he asked me to don't let you out of your room under any circumstances for two weeks and the only time you can leave the room is when you go on the training grounds with your trainers. He requested me to be careful so you may not sneak out again. Any reasons why he would request such thing?" -" Maybe because he's mad?", I said more like a whisper, but they heard me and mother giggled. -" Watch your tongue, young lady!", scolded father and I internally rolled my eyes. We ate in an awkward tension for another 20 minutes and then he left along with my mother.In the next 2 minutes, 4 knights were gathered in front of me and I assumed they have been sent to escort me back to my chamber. Thanks to that beast.I got there and Michelangelo came in sight too. And what is HE doing here? Haven't he done enough?

-" Princess Elise, I'm here to apologize for the way that I treated you last time, in the woods with that commoner, and I also want to inform you that I have to stay with you while your tutors won't be here so you won't have any more creative ideas of escaping your room.", he said, looking down the whole time. He talked to me like this is the first time we ever meet ... Everyone is so cold towards me nowadays. I miss Nate so badly ... He would have gave me a big hug and a soft kiss on my head, whispering in my ear how much I mean to him.

-" Yea, alright.", I replied, turning my back at him. I guess I will have company for the next 2 weeks.

Wait a d*mn second ... What if Nate will think that I changed my mind after this meeting with the beast? What if he thinks that I chose a King over him, after everything he have done for me.

He could have just live a peaceful life here, in the city, with a simple girl that wouldn't cause him so many problems, but he chose me even tho I didn't got any money to help in this. Everything he have done, he have done it by his own, with his own savings.

He must think that I'm a selfish b*at that takes anything for granted ...

Nathaniel's Point of View:

I decided it would be better for me to go back to my kingdom and take care of everything until I would leave again for my mate. If I want to pretend that I'm that commoner again, I will have to pretend that I have no idea why she have been gone for those two weeks and pretend I'm mad.

Last night I decided to go back to her father in the morning and tell him that I want her to be watched and don't leave the castle for 2 weeks, excepting the times she will have to train outside, but that's all. I didn't told him my motives for this and he didn't wanted to insist too much on this topic either. That was better for the both of us. 

I forbade any noble man from having a meeting with me and instructed my butler that if he would see Arnar here and insist on seeing me, to get one of my warriors and kick him out of my castle. I don't have time for him now, I've got a kingdom to rule.

I still have no idea if I am mad at her or not. I just can't believe how nice and cuddling she is with me when she doesn't know who I am, and how cold and repulsed she can get when she just as much as hears my name. 

I wonder how she would have reacted if I would have taken off my mask ... Maybe she would have accepted me if she knew that I can be kind towards her. She has no idea that my emotions for her are 10 times more amplified than human's are. 

Every time she gets repulsed by me, I feel like the whole world shattered around me, the one and only girl in the world that I want to rule beside me is rejecting me and I can't stand this thought.

I want her, I need her beside me. 

I'll make sure that she wants me just as much as I want her. I'll show her what a good mate I can be!

' Let's not overreact pretty boy. We can be good and still k*ll whoever upsets us or sweet potato, right?', Clyde asked suspiciously and I grinned.

' Who said we can't be good if we do this?", I asked, smiling mischievously and he did the same, snickering at me.
