The Prince Demand I Marry Him

Chapter 10

"Is Jonathan okay?" Eleanor asked as Johannah frowned. "He was taught a lesson by father. Jonathan has a lot of bruises on his body. He won't be able to come tonight" Johannah said as Eleanor felt as if Guilt was devouring her from every single inch. "Don't blame yourself Eleanor, my brother will be fine. He just needs a lot of rest" Johannah said again as she handed Eleanor a glass of wine to cheer her up.

Johannah watched as Eleanor walked away with the glass of wine smiling to herself. "Are you sure you're okay with this?" Amelia asked, grabbing Johannah's arm. "Who's to blame here is not Eleanor it's Leo" Johannah said as she spotted Leo from afar, mentally cursing him to fall down the stairs.

"But still, Eleanor agreed to the marriage! She stole your supposed to be fiancé. You were supposed to be the Duchess of Rotherham, Princess Johannah Millington. Not her!" Amelia blurted out but kept quiet when Johannah raised an arm. "Enough Amelia. You knew Eleanor didn't have a choice. It was a royal decree after all" Johannah said.

Amelia was confused as to why Johannah wasn't angry in any bits. If it was her, she would be throwing a tantrum right now. Amelia adored Johannah's patiences and temperament as she swore to stay loyal to her.

After a few performances, Eleanor was feeling light headed. She thought she drank a little bit too much as she excused herself to the restroom. Johannah who seems to notice her discomfort followed her to the restroom.

"Eleanor are you okay?" Johannah asked supporting Eleanor making sure she does not fall and hurt herself. "I'll send you to a room to rest okay?" Johannah said as Eleanor nodded.

Johannah has been to the palace quite a few times already. She knew her way around the main places at least.

Upon arriving at a guest bedroom she used to stay in, Johannah carefully laid Eleanor on the bed. Johannah smiled, "This is all I can do for you" Johannah thought, took a deep breath and walked away, grabbing her phone as someone called her. Johannah accepted the call. "Yes" she said after a moment of listening to the caller talk, before hanging up and returning to the ballroom.

Eleanor was shifting on the bed feeling hot and uncomfortable. "Why is it so hot? Did I drink too much?" Eleanor thought hugging her body close.

The door opened revealing a beat up Jonathan. "Eleanor we dont have time let's go" Jonathan said as he forcefully pulled Eleanor out of the room. "I feel so hot Jon" Eleanor said clinging close to him while hugging his arm. "I know. But we need to leave this place before the royal guards starts searching for you" Jonathan said as he was looking around anxiously. "Why would the royal guards search for me?" Eleanor said and laughed while hanging on Jonathan's arm keeping it close to her face.

"I thought it over and over again, even if we did it just now, Leo would still not let you go. So I think running away is the best option we have" Jonathan said. Eleanor was not paying a single attention. She was busy relieving the hotness she felt on Jonathan's cold arm.

"I hope you don't hate me for this Eleanor" Jonathan said again as Eleanor just smiled looking at him, totally unconscious of what he was saying.

Leo who had been waiting for Eleanor was feeling anxious again. She's been gone for almost an hour. The ball has ended as every guests returned to their homes. The royal guests of different countries had went back to their guest rooms in the palace.

Spotting Johannah who was about to leave, he quickly stopped her and asked about Eleanor's whereabouts even though he knew Johannah probably hates him now. "Remember the guest room I used to stay at when I come visit here? I let her to rest there" Johannah said.

They bid goodbyes before Leo ran to the guestroom. Horrified, not seeing Eleanor on the bed.

Leo panicked as his negative thoughts were preventing him from thinking of what to do. "Guards! Search for the Princess!" Leo yelled as a few guards came running. Jonathan eye's widened hearing Leo's loud voice. He looked at his watch. It was 12 am. He spent too much time trying to get Eleanor out.

Leo started running around everywhere thinking of possible things that could happen to Eleanor. "Did she ran away? Was she kidnapped?" Leo thought as his feet takes him to any possible places Eleanor might be at. "Did Jonathan came to take her away?" Leo thought causing him to be even more pressured. "He wouldn't dare would he?" Leo thought as his eyes were observing his surroundings.

Something shiny caught Leo's attention as he slowly went near it. Noticing it wasn't a threat, Leo picked it up. His heart dropped at the sight of Eleanor's wedding ring in his hand.

Eleanor started laughing at Jonathan's face in distress. Jonathan quickly covered her mouth.

Leo could hear Eleanor's giggles from the end of the hallways before it turned into muffles. He yelled her name causing Jonathan to panic, trying to search for solutions. There is no way he could leave the palace alive right now. Jonathan pulled Eleanor into a room before hugging her, mainly covering her mouth.

Eleanor who was finally finding comfort in his embrace, pushed her face into his chest. "Eleanor" Jonathan said as Eleanor looked at him.

Jonathan leaned in and connected their lips together. Eleanor was definitely enjoying it. He traveled his hands behind of her back before pushing her head to the side, giving him access to her neck.

He kissed the spot behind of her ear gently before sucking on it harshly. He  bit it enough for the hickey to bruise up. Eleanor who was unconscious because of the drug just let him do whatever he wanted to.

Hearing footsteps getting even closer, Jonathan smiled.
