Ellise could only look at Prince Addrich with her golden eyes. At first, she was terrified that Prince Addrich would claim her rights as a husband, fearing that the prince would be disappointed in her. But when Prince Addrich actually said he did not want to have a husband and wife relationship with her, Ellise was injured and disappointed. Why is he so hurt? Is not this situation beneficial for him.
"Ellise. "call Prince Addrich.
" Prince, why? Are you hurt or offended that I cried when you hugged me that night? "
Prince Addrich shakes.
" Ellise, that time, when you asked me. Did I want you to marry me because I love you, I didn't say anything. In fact, I do love other women. "
" Why did you marry me? Tell me the real reason is prince."
"Because I need you, I need your status, either your current status as a crown princess who has her own power, or your status as the daughter of the Labird family. At that time I thought, I can make you my ally to increase the power that I have. "
" Therefore, you quickly restored my status in the Labird family? Just to use me? "
" utilizing? That's an inappropriate word. We're allies that mutually benefit Ellise. "
" Why don't you marry the woman you love, too? "
" I will marry her, in the most worthy way. Of course after I get absolute power later. I need you to fight queen Olivia."
Ellise was silent again, a tear running down her cheek.
Prince Addrich got up, sat down in front of Ellise, kissed her hand, and looked at Ellise with a fond look,
"Ellise, I'll fulfill my promise. I will protect you and your people. Your status, your standing, will never be disturbed, it's yours. I pledge. "
Ellise was getting late in her crying.
Prince Addrich got up, and walked towards the door, before coming out he spoke again, "For now, calm yourself down. Stay strong, because I really don't want to hurt you. I will protect you, and from tomorrow, I will teach you to understand, the royal life is not as beautiful as the shadow of people all along. The kingdom is not that simple, so much intrigue, evil and hypocrisy here. I will teach you to know the character, the temperament also against all that. Stay by my side Ellise, believe me, I'll protect you. Trust me, just like I trust you. "
Then Prince Addrich disappeared in the night.

" Prince, what are you doing here? " question Zuich Z was aware of the existence of Prince Addrich.
" Can't you see me? I'm practicing the sword." replied Prince Addrich, sweaty sweat running all over his body.
Prince Addrich stopped his movements, sheathed his sword back and sat down beside Zuich Z.
" I can't. "
"But why? Or me, you love Ellise. "
Zuich Z sat next to Prince Addrich.
"The other night, just hugging her, she was already crying."
"Is it because Ellise had offended the prince back then? "
" No, whatever it is, as long as it's Ellise, then I can accept her treatment. I love him, remember that. "
" Then go back to your room. "
" Zuich, he was trembling in fear as I approached him. She's my wife right now, but she's scared of me. "
" That's only natural. Women are different from men, especially Miss Ellise is innocent, she will definitely feel restless too afraid. "
" Zuich, there are things you don't understand. Throughout the wedding, Ellise seemed silent and grim. If my beliefs weren't wrong, he would have thought about this first night, he was terrified. If the time is right, once he can begin to accept my presence, once he gets used to it and is willing, then I will do it. I don't want to scare her, until whenever I'll wait. She's my wife, she'll be forever. I will never let go, so I will be patient. "
Zuich Z began to be astonished, seeing his impatient prince calm down to wait for Ellise.
" What did you tell him tonight?"
"I love other women, I will marry that woman in a decent way. "
"Prince, those words must have hurt him."
"I know, but I want the best for him. One day, I will insist, say that the woman is him, beg him to love me. Someday, I will marry her properly, not as she is today, making excuses to marry her for wanting to take advantage of her. Ellise, that woman, she's the only one that makes me have a heart in the middle of this disgusting fight in the kingdom. I made her by my side to protect her, if she was far away, I was afraid I wouldn't have time to do something if danger threatened her. "
" Prince, you better be honest with Miss Ellise. "
" Zuich, the current state of affairs, is impossible for that. She must be strong if she is to be my wife. He should not doubt anything, his feelings should not be disturbed by anything. I want him to focus on his goal, which is to protect himself and his people. That's all I expected, the rest of me will fight to protect her, fight to solve all the problems that have been holding me back all this time."
Zuich sighed, he understood the anxiety of Prince Addrich, but at the same time, he did not understand Prince Addrich's decision. All he could do was to carry out every task that Prince Addrich gave with all his heart.
