The Prince Demand I Marry Him

Chapter 9

"We're married anyways. If we were to sleep in 2 separate bedrooms, the Queen would suspect us" Leo explained as Eleanor nodded her head. He does have a point. They're married.

"But we need to put this straight, this half of the bed is mine and that half of the bed is yours okay?" Eleanor said pointing to 7/10 of the bed and then 3/10 of the bed. "That's not even close to a half" Leo said and took a deep breath. "Well yeah, it is certainly enough for you sleep comfortably. It's the size of a single bed!" Eleanor exclaimed as she threw herself onto the bed.

"Well wake me up when it's time to get ready" Eleanor said feeling tired as she fell asleep in her wedding dress. Leo sighed as he took her crown and shoes off and set it aside before walking out of the room.

-

"Wake up" Leo shook her lightly as Eleanor woke up from her beauty sleep. "You surely fall asleep so easily at a new place" Leo said shaking her head as he handed her a glass of water. "The makeup artist will be here soon. Your dress and jewellery are there. We're leaving at 4 pm to the main palace. That's it I'll see you later" Leo said before leaving the room.

-

With heavy steps, Leo walked to their bedroom hoping not to see another fishy scene. He knew nothing fishy was going to happen because they were at his palace.

Leo took a deep breath before knocking and entering the room. Eleanor was sitting down admiring herself in the mirror. Leo sighed, relieved she didn't ran away or something. "Your highness" the makeup artists greeted him as he raised an arm, Eleanor turned around running to him and started spinning around.

"I look so pretty!" she aggressively said as she started dancing around, accidentally losing her balance. Leo pulled her arm in time, causing her to fall into his arms. "That's not how a princess should act Eleanor" Leo said as he slightly lifted Eleanor's dress up. "Please give her highness a shoe with shorter heels" Leo ordered as the stylists nodded and turned around searching for a suitable shoe.

"But I like these shoes!" Eleanor said showing off the 6 inches heels she was wearing. "It'll be uncomfortable to walk around for hours in that shoe Eleanor. Listen to me" Leo said as he carefully pushed Eleanor down to sit as he took off the shoes and careful slid in the new ones. The makeup artists and stylists were dying at Leo's gentlemanly act meanwhile Eleanor wasn't feeling a thing. She just thought Leo was being overly controlling. Eleanor just rolled her eyes as she let Leo do whatever he wants.

-

After a 50 minutes drive, they've arrived at the main palace and were greeted by the members of the royal family. "Who's that?" Eleanor whispered to Leo when she saw an unknown face wearing a royal outfit. "That's the 2nd prince, the Duke of Seadel, Prince Charles Harry Kingsley" Leo whispered back.

Leo and Eleanor had their arms intertwined as Eleanor had her eyes fixed on the 2nd prince. He had a strange feeling of familiarity in him as the 2nd prince smiled while looking at her. "I deeply apologise for not attending your wedding ceremony this morning, sister in law" Charles spoke up with a cheeky smile.

Eleanor smiled. "It's not a problem" Eleanor said as Leo was busy talking to the Grand Prince, Anthony Xavier Kingsley and his wife Grand Princess Adeline Annette Maguire. "No need to be so cold Eleanor, you can call me brother Charles just like the old times" Charles intentionally spoke up as Eleanor scrunched her eyebrows. "Brother Charles!" a high pitched voice was playing in her head showing little her running towards a bigger boy. Eleanor felt her head hurt again as she held her head in hopes of soothing the pain. Charles smiled knowing exactly what he did.

Noticing something was wrong, Leo looked at Eleanor noticing she was staring at the ground just like how she did the night of their first dinner. "Eleanor, my love" Leo shook her lightly as Eleanor snapped out of it. Her headache slowly dissappear.

"What happened?" Leo asked as she shook her head. "I'm probably just tired" Eleanor said as she held her head again. "You just took a nap at home and you took a nap in the car too, my love" Leo said as Eleanor just smiled at him thinking he would just go with her lie.

Leo sighed as he lead Eleanor into the palace ballroom. The guests were already there waiting for the royal family to arrive. Everyone bowed down as the royal family entered the ballroom.

Leo and Eleanor was on the dance floor for the first dance. When the music started playing, Leo and Eleanor bowed down at each other before getting into the Waltz dance position. Looking at the crowd, she saw Johannah and Amelia smiling while looking at her. Just then Eleanor's shoulders turned heavy again.

She suddenly remembered that Jonathan had been arrested by Leo. How could she forget about that just after one kiss?

After debating for awhile Eleanor finally decided to speak up. "So what happened to Jonathan?" Eleanor asked avoiding Leo's gaze. Leo took a deep breath. "You're still thinking about him when we're having our first dance?" Leo said disappointed. "I'm not, I'm just worried okay?" Eleanor said as Leo rolled his eyes. "This will be the last time you talk about him Eleanor. I had sent him back to the Millington's manor. From now on, I do not want to hear his name slip out of your lips" Leo said staring hard at Eleanor who was looking at him with an innocent face. "But what if I need to tell you something about him?" Eleanor asked blinking twice.

"Then pay me with a kiss" Leo said and pecked her lips.

Eleanor eyes widened as she started to feel shy again. They just stared at each other's eyes as they waltz together. Leo now knows Eleanor's weakness. A kiss.

After the dance, Eleanor and Leo had to go and greet the Monrchy when she suddenly saw Amelia and Johannah. Eleanor excused herself before walking towards them with a heavy heart.

Upon arriving at their table, Eleanor swallowed the lump in her throat. "I'm sorry" Eleanor said as she looked at the floor, afraid to meet Johannah's gaze. "It was a royal decree after all. What can you do" Johannah said, giving out a weak smile.

"My brother must be feeling very devastated right now" Johannah said and sighed.
