The Married To Prince

Chapter 19

Ellise and Linden put on a very dark face. Aye! Darkness covered their hearts and minds.

The door opened, Prince Addrich entered and immediately sat down as a bench. When Ellise and Linden were about to pay their respects, Prince Addrich gave an unnecessary gesture.

Staring at Ellise for a while, then his gaze turned to the knight standing beside Ellise.

"Come out.." he ordered.

"Sorry prince, I am the guardian knight of Miss Ellise, I will not leave her. "reject Linden politely.

That was enough to bring to life the annoyance of prince Addrich.

" So, do you think your protection is more useful to my future wife than my protection? Knight lord, do you doubt my power, my power is also my protection for your non? " ask Prince Addrich sharply.

Seeing that, Linden immediately prostrated,

" I'm sorry prince, forgive my impoliteness, not I doubt you. All this time, I've been looking after Miss Ellise, this is where I function. I am simply carrying out my duty and my duty as a protective knight. "

Ellise immediately stood up and bowed beside Linden, "Prince, please forgive sir Linden. All this time I have relied heavily on him, because of his protection then I can live to this day. If the prince feels my knight is hurting your pride, you can punish me who cannot teach my knight well. "

Prince Addrich let out a heavy sigh, his voice starting to soften.

" Ellise, in front of the king, in front of the nobles, you said you wanted to speak with me. I have cast out my knights, so you must do the same. Don't ruin your reputation because you can't hold your own. "

Ellise realized what Prince Addrich meant, this was all for her!

" Sir Linden, come out and wait for me at the door. "

" But Miss Ellise, I can't possibly leave you. "reject Linden stubbornly.

" You didn't leave me sir, you were just waiting for me outside this room. I promise, I'll be fine. "persuade Ellise gently.

"Alright lady, but if anything happens to you, whoever it is, I will not be silent. Miss, your safety is my life that matters the most." whispered Linden, but the whisper was quite heard by Prince Addrich.

After Linden came out, Prince Addrich told Ellise to sit down again, Ellise obeyed.

"Ellise, I did not expect, how loyal your guard knight was. ", Prince Addrich began a conversation.

" It's because he's been like a father to me, and Sir Linden loves me like his own daughter, we love each other and look after each other like family. "

Prince Addrich stared at the door with a strange look, where Linden was standing behind him.

"Then, what's the point of you wanting to talk to me both?"

"Prince Addrich, do you love me? " ask Ellise frankly.

Prince Addrich was surprised, he just kept quiet without answering Ellise's question.

" Because you are silent, may I interpret that in the sense of no? You don't love me. "

Prince Addrich is silent.

" If you remain silent, then I do not mean to be impolite to mean that you do not love me" Ellise concluded.

"Because you're beautiful, you're charming, you're stunning.. "

Ellise's face met red, Prince Addrich really enjoyed the view.

" Ahem.. " Ellise cleared her throat slowly.

" Prince, may I speak truthfully without getting any punishment from you? "

" Say.. "

"I don't think you're a narrow-minded prince, who would be touched simply because of beauty."

The plaintiff smiled hearing Ellise's words.

"Ellise, I've guessed, that you're very smart.. "

" Thank you for your praise, prince. "

"Ellise, tell me your real purpose?" ask Prince Addrich more gently.

Instead of answering, Ellise asked again.

"Prince, what is your purpose in marrying me? "

Prince Addrich's smile grew.

" What do you mean ask about my purpose?"

"Prince, get to the point. Do you need me to work together against queen Olivia? "

Prince Addrich laughed in amazement at Ellise's ingenuity, the woman before him not mistakenly guessing, even though the guess was not entirely true.

" Why do you feel I'm going to fight queen Olivia? She is my mother at the moment. "

"Your open attack on Queen Olivia shows that you don't recognize her as a mother."

Prince Addrich tapped his finger on his own thigh.

" Can you face queen Olivia? "

" Of course. "

" You're so sure? "

Ellise nodded for sure.

"What makes you so sure?"

"Because you will be behind me, you will not let your wife who will be your ally get into trouble. At least, that's for as long as you need me. Most importantly, with my strength as your wife, as first lady, with all the power you give me, I am sure I can deal with it. "
