The Prince Demand I Marry Him

Chapter 3

"Target located" Samuel sent a text in their group chat as he watched Eleanor and her friends walked by.

"Target moving to the field exit from cafeteria" Samuel sent another text, typing as fast as he could and looked up only to realise he had lost Eleanor. "Target lost, agent B" Samuel send another text and sighed. "Since when was I agent B?" Leander replied to Samuel's text.

Leander looked up spotting Eleanor. Leander coughed as he walked towards them. "Hey girls" Leander said. "Hey Leander" the girls replied. "I might need to borrow Eleanor for a while. I'll return her back to you. Goodbye see you soon" Leander said as he grabbed Eleanor by the shoulder, turned her around and speed walked back into the building.

Eleanor who was confused just tagged along. They arrived at the college flower garden as Leander covered her eyes. Finally letting her see, in the middle of the garden stood Leo standing in a rose petal trail of hearts. Eleanor blinked twice totally unamused and uninterested. She turned around and was about to leave but Samuel and Leander stopped her.

Eleanor rolled her eyes as she turned around, walking towards Leo who had a cheeky smile. "Lady Lockhart" Leo said standing tall with full of pride. "Make it quick, my class is starting soon" Eleanor said ready to reject another guy of the week. Leo coughed awkwardly. "So Lady Lockhart, you will marry me" Leo said pulling out a ring box out of his pocket. Samuel and Leander mentally slapped their face. Eleanor scrunched her eyebrows in confusion. "Are you in your right mind right now Leo? You sound a bit crazy right now. That's not even a question" Eleanor replied hoping she didn't hear wrong. "It is obviously not a question Lady Lockhart. You will marry me" Leo said pulling out the ring and sliding it into Eleanor's fingers surprised it actually fit.

"Are you done with the play?" Eleanor said totally annoyed and uninterested. She wasn't in the mood for jokes. "Is this the famous Lockhart family attitude?" Samuel whispered to Leander who watched in amusement.

"Do you know who I am?" Leo asked, wanting to reveal his identity. "No? I only know you are called Leo" Eleanor replied wanting to run away. "Have you heard of the name Nicholas Leonardo Kingsley?" Leo said with a smirk, already feeling proud of his name. "Oh my prince I am sorry I didn't recognise you"  was what Leo thought Eleanor would say.

"No. Is that your full name?" Eleanor replied silently hoping Leo was gonna stop talking. Leo's pride was hurt. "Are you being serious right now? Do you not know the surname Kingsley?" Leo asked looking at Eleanor in disbelief. Eleanor shook her head with a cold glare. Leo sighed.

"I'm Prince Nicholas, Lady Lockhart" Leo said finally giving up. "He's a Prince?" Eleanor asked Samuel and Leander who was watching them from a distance. "He's the 3rd Prince, Eleanor" Leander replied. Leo nodded his head waiting for Eleanor's reaction.

Instead, Eleanor scoffed and chuckled sarcastically. "If he's a Prince then I'm a Queen" Eleanor said about to turn around and leave but was stopped by Leander and Samuel again. "Are you really not believing that he's a Prince?" Samuel asked as Eleanor nodded her head. "What's with the sudden change of attitude? You were so happy go lucky yesterday" Leo said in disbelief. "A Lockhart is a Lockhart afterall" Eleanor said and looked at the sky.

"But he really is a Prince! He wouldn't be friends with us, the son of a Duke, the son of a Marques and the Grandson of the Grand Duke if he was a commoner" Samuel explained. "But you're friends with me. I'm a commoner" Eleanor said. "You're from a filthy rich family Eleanor" Jonathan who suddenly appeared said. Eleanor rolled her eyes. "You do not insult my family Millington" Eleanor said about to throw hands.

"Okay stop! Just search Prince Nicholas up on the web" Leo said trying to stop the two from fighting. Eleanor rolled her eyes as she took her phone out and searched.

Eleanor raised an eyebrow seeing Leo's pictures everywhere. Leo was feeling cocky again. "Oh well it is nice meeting you, your highness, here's your ring and I'll see you never" Eleanor said, taking off the ring and giving it to him before escaping Leander and Samuel, sprinting as fast as she could.

"I guess that's a rejection" Samuel said as Leo was still in disbelief. He certainly did not understand the sudden change of behaviour. "Cheer up. Maybe she's just on her month" Leander said, patting Leo's shoulder.

Eleanor looked up to the sky, pouting. "What's with you?" Amelia asked noticing she was down all day. "My cactus plant die" Eleanor said holding in her tears. "How can you kill a cactus Eleanor?" Johannah asked mentally slapping her forehead. "I don't know myself. I water it everyday, even gave it enough sunlight. What did I do wrong? Does it hate me?" Eleanor said finally bursting into tears. "Hold on, repeat what you first said" Amelia said noticing something strange.

"I don't know myself?" Eleanor asked confused. "No after that" Amelia said trying to focus. "I water it everyday?" Eleanor said again even more confused. "Yes! That's it!" Amelia said causing Eleanor to tilt her head in confusion. "How dumb can you be? A cactus dont need to be watered everyday! Of course it's gonna die from over watering" Amelia said slapping Eleanor's consciousness. "Oh" Eleanor said leaning on the bench realising how dumb that actually was.

"Well what did Leander wanted?" Johannah asked feeling a little nervous for no reason at all. "Leo called for me. He was spouting nonsense. Not a big deal" Eleanor replied. "But what type of nonsense?" Johannah asked hoping to know something. "He told me he was Prince Nicholas" Eleanor said looking at Johannah. "And?" Johannah said after being quiet for awhile. "I didn't believe him so I criticised him" Eleanor bluntly replied causing Johannah who was staring at her to faint again. "Hey how are you so dramatic?" Eleanor said trying to help Johannah up.

"So have you asked her already?" the King asked looking at Leo who was on his bed staring at the ceiling. "Yes I did" Leo said, his mind completely empty. "So what did Lady Lockhart say?" The King asked again, sitting down on Leo's bed. "She said me being a prince is ridiculous" Leo blurted out, still not focusing on what he's saying.

The King bursted out into laughter. "I told you so! You're a total douche! There is no way a Lockhart would ever want you" the King said as he laughed while hitting his knee. Leo stood up, lips pouting like a child. "Father" Leo said feeling completely betrayed as tears ran out of his eyes.

The King coughed awkwardly as he stopped laughing. "A rejection can't be that bad. You haven't tried courting her properly" the King said trying so hard not to laugh at the sight of his son heartbroken over a rejection. "Father you must help me" Leo said tugging on his dad's sleeves. "No. How old are you? 5? Why do I have to help you court a girl?" the King said, trying to push Leo away. Leo smirked. "Or I'll tell mother you bought that cardboard plane fragment you hid in your studies without her knowing" Leo said and smiled.

The King was taken aback. He thought he hid it well enough.

"Are you threatening me right now Nicholas?" The King said as he looked at the smiling Leo. "Yes I am" Leo said feeling a little cocky. The King rolled his eyes. "Fine" the King said as Leo let go of his sleeve. "But! You must never tell mother about the cardboard plane" the King yelled the first word shocking Nicholas a little.

"Then we have a deal" Leo said and smirked looking at his father.
