The Prince Demand I Marry Him

Chapter 8

"Then let's go" Jonathan said, grabbing her arm and pulling her out of the room meeting with Leo. Leo smiled with pity.

"I knew something fishy was going on" Leo said glaring at Jonathan. Jonathan just pulled Eleanor away but Leo grabbed her other arm. "Where do you think you're going, my love?" Leo said, his eyes were staring at the wall in front of him, avoiding her eyes.

"Leo let me go" Eleanor said trying to free herself from his hand. "let you go for you to elope with him?" Leo said finally turning around looking at them. "You don't love me Leo. You're only using me to escape from Hannah!" Eleanor said, eyes filled with hatred taking Leo aback. "What did you tell her Jonathan?" Leo said trying not to yell. "I told her the truth, your highness" Jonathan said smirking.

Leo rolled his eyes. "Guards! Arrest this man!" Leo yelled out loud as a few guards came running and trapped Jonathan, causing Jonathan to lose his grip on Eleanor, cuffing his hands behind of his back. "No one is allowed to visit him without my permission" Leo said, his blood boiling in rage as he watched Jonathan struggling with the guards. "Yes your highness!" the guards said as Leo watch Jonathan being pulled away.

"Let him go!" Eleanor yelled aggressively pushing Leo's hand away. "You should feel ashamed of yourself Eleanor. This is the 2nd time I've caught you cheating on me" Leo said tightening his grip on Eleanor's hand. "Ouch! You're hurting me!" Eleanor yelled hitting Leo's hand.

"This pain is nothing comparing to my heart ache, Eleanor" Leo said as he forcefully pushed Eleanor back into the bridal room causing her to fall on the ground. Her crown falling off of her head.

"Guards!" Leo yelled eyes still fixed on Eleanor who was dusting herself off. She had tears in her eyes. A few guards came running again. "Get someone to fix the Princess up and assigned 10 guards to guard the bridal room. No one shall allow the princess to leave the room until the wedding starts and no one shall know of this" Leo said glaring at Eleanor. "Yes sire!" the guards said as Leo took a last look at Eleanor before walking away, filled with disappointments.

"Let me go Leo!" Eleanor yelled as Leo continued walking away.

After calming down, Eleanor was finally called out. She walked to the wedding hall with heavy steps.

"Are Simon, Emma and Jordan here yet?" Eleanor asked her dad who was trying so hard not to drop a tear beside of her. His eyes were red and watery but his face was still stern and cold. "They're sitting with your mother" Master Lockhart replied as the wedding march begins. Eleanor was mentally cursing the crown she was wearing for being too heavy.

Leo was at the altar in his royal attire, his hair swept to the back. "That jerk does know how to style his messy hair" Eleanor thought locking eyes with the smiling Leo. "Huh he surely recovers fast" Eleanor scoffed as she glared at Leo. She was thanking the veils for covering her face. Everyone would've thought they were at a funeral instead of a wedding when looking at her gloomy expression.

In the seated crowd, Eleanor noticed Johannah and Amelia sitting together. Jonathan was nowhere to be seen as Eleanor sighed. Johannah had a smiling face. Eleanor knew she was in pain because of her.

Eleanor sighed as she arrived at the altar. Master Lockhart gave Eleanor's hand to Leo as he glared at him. "Take care of my daughter" Master Lockhart said with a deadly glare. "Yes I will, father" Leo said and smiled as Master Lockhart returned to his seat. All of the Lockhart family members were glaring at him with the same exact deadly glare.

Leo was thanking the Gods for not letting Eleanor inherit that deadly glare of the Lockharts. Leo thought he would've died easily if looks could kill.

Throughout the whole ceremony Eleanor was just glaring at Leo. She knew exactly she had to smile once her veil was lifted. The reporters started taking pictures of her face as Eleanor felt uncomfortable. Her dad always protects her from the media. Leo seemed to notice it as she pulled her in and kissed her, covering her face from the reporters. Eleanor was shocked as her eyes widened from the touch of his lips. It was Eleanor's first kiss.

After the reporters have quiet down, Leo released Eleanor who was in a daze. She was feeling very shy as she avoided looking at Leo. Her first kiss was taken in public. Eleanor knew this day would've happened but she was not expecting it to be on the media. But again, isn't Leo supposed to just kiss her forehead? Why did he kissed her lips?

Eleanor can't help but smile at the feeling of getting her first kiss stolen, totally forgetting about everything else. Leo and Eleanor walked down the aisle as everyone stood up cheering for them. They finally exited the wedding hall as Leo and Eleanor entered the car.

After driving off Leo's smile faded as he looked outside of the window. Eleanor swallowed the lump in her throat as she was still flushing from the kiss. She didn't knew how to act as she looked somewhere else, avoiding Leo's gaze.

The tension in the car was killing the driver as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

"The wedding after party will be held at the main palace at 5 pm" Leo said still not looking at Eleanor. "I know" Eleanor replied and it was dead quiet again. The driver was starting to doubt the both of them were actually happily married.

After a long drive, they finally arrived at Leo's palace. He never lived there because he thought it was lonely to live alone in a huge palace.

"Do each royals get bestowed a palace?" Eleanor asked breaking the silence between the two. "Yes" Leo replied not bothering to look at her as Eleanor just followed him around the palace. "What is your palace called?" Eleanor asked again. "The Rotherham Palace" Leo replied making a turn into a hallway.

Eleanor snorted as she held her laugh in. "What's so funny?" Leo asked confused as to why she was laughing. "Sounds like Rotten Ham" Eleanor said and laughed like crazy. Leo rolled his eyes at her childish remarks. "I'll just act like you've never said that"

Eleanor spoke up again, "Are you-", but was cut off by Leo stopping in tracks.

"Aren't you angry at me anymore? Just a while ago you were begging me to let you go" Leo said glaring at her. "Jeez. I still got married to you didn't I?" Eleanor said and rolled her eyes as Leo took a deep breath and just continued walking while Eleanor followed him closely from behind.

Upon entering a room, Leo turned around and look at her. "This is our room" Leo said as Eleanor nodded while looking around. "Where's your bed?" Eleanor asked noticing there was only one king sized bed in the room. Leo bit his inner cheeks and smiled in pain. "We're sleeping together, my love" Leo said biting his tongue preventing himself from saying anything that'll make her despise him more.

"What!" Eleanor yelled.
