"I promise you the prince..."
Prince Addrich stood up, walked over to Ellise and gently kissed Ellise on the forehead.
"One more thing Ellise, from this moment on use informal language when talking to me. Right now, your status is not just a duke princess, but a crown princess. I don't want this husband and wife relationship to be so rigid. Although there is no feeling of love between us, I hope we can be friends" said Prince Addrich who later left Ellise.
Ellise was still sitting, the kiss that Prince Addrich gave her happiness. Ellise raised both her legs and bent them against her chest, various thoughts started to bother her.
Aye! Ellise begins to love Prince Addrich, Ellise begins to realize it, but the next sentence after the kiss is able to make Ellise realize that she has no right to receive love from the man. There are other women who have the love of Prince Addrich, their relationship is just a covenant.
Ellise's tears began to flow...
"Why? Why should I feel the feeling of love when I start the game in this relationship? My only desire is one, which is my survival with the people around me. Why do I become selfish, expecting a love that is not mine. One day, I had to return the man to the woman he loved, a place where he could be happy without a trick or a covenant. "the inner Ellise before her eyes closed to sleep.
***
Ellise blinked, her eyes slowly opening. He still used what was attached to his body last night, but he was no longer in the sofa, but had already moved to bed. Who moved it when he fell asleep? As he remembered last night, he fell asleep on the sofa after crying all night.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
"Come in. "Ellise's orders are slow.
" Miss Ellise!!!! " cried Monicva in spirit, behind her Rose followed.
" i.. Monicva, Aunt Rose" exclaimed Ellise, surprised to see the presence of two people she loved. Her body without orders automatically hugged Monicva and Aunt Rose in turn.
" I miss you guys." sizzled Ellise softly.
Rose grabbed Ellise's one hand and gently rubbed the back of her hand, "Miss Ellise, we feel the same way. We're also very worried whether you're okay here, miss. "
Ellise longed for Aunt Rose's tenderness, this old lady always looked after her and loved her wholeheartedly.
"I'm, of course okay aunt. Aren't I here for the safety of all of us?"
"Miss Ellise, as we expected, your life is happy and well. Don't think about anything other than that. "
Ellise displayed a smile on her face, her eyes looking at Aunt Rose affectionately, "Aunty, you guys will always be fine if you ignore my existence. Precisely because of me, you have had to sacrifice so many things all this time. It's supposed to be, we have to take care of each other."
Rose let out a small laugh, once again she placed Ellise's body in her arms.
"Alright Miss, now I'll help you take a shower. After that, Knight Linden wants to talk to you.. "
Ellise nodded quickly, Linden, she also missed the man.
***
"Sir Linden's..." Ellise ran over Linden's arms.
"Miss, you are currently the crown princess, you must not just hug me. There are ethics that you must take care of starting from you getting married ", said Linden who tried to separate herself from Ellise's embrace, this habit had to be quickly removed before people made this a way to corner Ellise. However, Ellise hugged Linden even tighter.
"Sir, forever I am your daughter. I will forever act like a little girl to you. If anyone dares to dispute this, I will use my power to punish them. If I cannot use my power, I will be underestimated by the people as the crown princess who has no power. "
"Hahahaha, Miss Ellise, you are amazing, you turn your weaknesses into your weapons." exclaimed Linden in amazement.
"real sir! This is the upbringing you gave me from childhood so that I could be strong. After all, what is the use of my title, if I am unable to take advantage of its main advantage, giving punishment to them "Ellise said with a sly smile.
" Ahem... Uncle Linden, can we get to the point" said Val, who had been there with Ava, Rose and Monicva.
"Euncle bald! It's like we're not considered here!" ava protest.
Linden and Ellise begin to separate. They take their own place. The purpose of their gathering was to discuss about the talks of Prince Addric and Queen Olivia. Ellise told me everything, except for the mischievous things that Prince Addrich sometimes pointed out.
"Miss Ellise, we better find a way out of here. At Duke's residence, danger is always waiting for you. But here, the greater danger lies before you. What we're dealing with is the most powerful people on the continent, in this country. "Rose's lips begin to tremble in fear, worry can't be hidden anymore.
Ellise shook her head quickly, "No aunt, ever since I decided to marry Prince Addrich on terms, there has been no turning back either. Aunt, I can get through this..."
"But, madam... "
" Aunty, please, trust me.. "
" Miss Ellise, then what about your first night?" monicva suddenly said. Just as a slow blow landed on her shoulder, Aunt Rose glared at her.
"Monicva, it's not worth asking!" rose rebuked her daughter.
"Ma, I'm just worried about Miss Ellise. " said Monicva sadly, the sadness that didn't come from Rose's punch, but the sadness she really felt for Ellise.
" Of course, how do you give such a presumptuous question to Miss Ellise?! "
" Aunty, don't be mad at Monicva, I'm fine. ", Ellise then looked at each person before her. Looks like everyone also wants an answer from Ellise's lips
Ellise sighed softly, "Prince Addrich and I have another agreement, we won't do husband and wife activities unless I want one."
The expressions of each person in the room seemed to change between gratitude and gloom. Gratitude for At least Ellise will not get the wrath of the Prince who found Ellise unholy again. Also the gloom of Ellise's future, if Ellise decides to stay here later, then her position will be weak without a successor.
"Then, what about your choice Miss Ellise.?" linden asked to switch the conversation.
