The Married To Prince
Chapter 23
"Ellise, tell me, that your knight misplaced me." exclaimed Prince Addrich in disbelief.
"Prince, this is indeed the place where I have lived all this time" Ellise said calmly.
"Ellise, the Labird family was the highest noble in this world from time immemorial, although his wealth was not like my family, but among all the nobles, the Labird family had the most wealth. Maybe people don't know it, but me and the royal family know that fact! And you, you are the sole heir of the Duke Labird family, how could you live this castle? This castle is old and old. It doesn't even have modern lighting yet! " gig Prince Addrich was angry, he was disturbed by Ellise's calmness.
Linden, Ava, Val, Monicva, Ros and Ellise's two servants, who walked in front of them, nodded in agreement with Prince Addrich.
"Prince, all your words are true. But I can't accept you calling this an ancient and worn out castle." Ellise said. Actually the prince only gave a mild comment about a reality, but somehow Ellise did not accept the name said by Prince Addrich.
"I'm talking about reality, Ellise." cut Prince Addrich.
Ellise seemed to take a slow breath, her body stopped walking...
"Prince, what if you and I walk together?"
Prince Addrich stared at Ellise's designated garden, not far from there, just a small garden with a beautiful assortment of flowers.
Prince Addrich nodded, gesturing to Zuich Z that he wanted to be alone with Ellise. Prince Addrich extended his hand to lead Ellise to safety.
Arriving there, Ellise plucked a rose, the thorn of the rose wounding her hand. Prince Addrich had not yet reached for his injured hand, Ellise had thrust the flower regardless of the wound. Prince Addrich immediately stared, his eyes looking at Ellise deeply, they were standing face to face.
Ellise shakes. He kept the pain from the injured finger, his eyes staring at Prince Addrich with a sad look..
" Prince, this flower, is this flower beautiful?"
Prince Adrrich nodded.
"However, her beauty hurt you Ellise. "
"True, its beauty hurt me. "
"Ellise, what do you want to convey with this flower?" ask Prince Addrich at last.
"Prince, although you did tell me the truth about my family's wealth, about why I lived without it, but I have a reason why I do not accept your word as an ancient and obsolete castle. I really appreciate every inch of my family, wherever it is. Before both my parents died, there was no place we didn't go and we gave memories. Especially after they are gone, this is the place where I spend every memory, be it jokes, laughter, crying, anger, sorrow in every activity, even though this is not the main residence. If you ask me if I would like to stay here, I honestly say, until a while ago I was still complaining why here still use light fire, not a modern illumination even I am determined to show myself in your party so that I can be free from this place. But honestly, without me knowing it, here I was growing up, learning about everything with them, people who proved themselves would not leave me in any condition. Therefore, I no longer think and live for myself, I live for them as well. I'm not afraid of death, I've been locked up here for a long time, half of my heart is dead, but the other half of the rebels are asking for freedom for their sake" Ellise said sadly.
" Ellise, continue." said Prince Addrich more gently, his voice hinting at the same grief.
" And this flower, this flower is beautiful, yet its thorny thorns and spines hurt me. So also about my life, I was born in a family that is quite powerful and wealthy, but that's all, because my uncle wanted to have it all, I ended up locked up in this place. The power and wealth that my family has hurt me prince." said Ellise who began to cry, Ellise had held back her tears.
"Because it's the prince, please stop commenting about my residence, it hurts me even more even if you talk about the facts. I don't want to live here either, really! But I have no choice, but that doesn't mean it's an excuse for you to insult my home."
