The Prince Demand I Marry Him

Chapter 14

Leo ran and grabbed Eleanor, pulling her away from Johannah. "Your majesty, despite having a bruise on my neck my lower body is completely fine. It does not hurt anywhere, which means the culprit did not do anything bad on my body except for my neck. I hope your majesty can look pass this matter and grant forgiveness to Lady Millington" Eleanor said in desperation of saving her bestfriend. "You're still trying to save her after what she had done to you?" Leo asked having 'unbelievable' written on his face as Leo tried preventing Eleanor from walking to the middle. Eleanor broke free from him and ran towards Johannah.

The king thought for awhile as he sighed. "As request from the victim, I have decided that we should close this case as it did not resort to something terrible. Security around the Princess of Rotherham will be increased. The Princess is not allowed to go anywhere without securities. Grand Duke, please take note. The trial ends here" the king said as Johannah body fell to the ground, her hands trying to support her.

"I thought you were gonna drag me down" Johannah cried as Eleanor hugged her head. "You're still my bestfriend Hannah. I wouldn't turn my back against you just because I'm apart of royalty now" Eleanor said as Johannah continued sobbing on her dress.

"Eleanor, let's go" Leo said as he gently grabbed Eleanor's hand and pulled her out of the throne room after the king have left.

Leo sighed as they arrived at his room. Eleanor, took her crown off as she threw herself onto the bed.

"That crown is so heavy!" Eleanor complained, hitting the bed in anger. "It is a rule for a princess to wear her crown at the Main Palace and especially in royal, formal or court events" Leo explained sitting beside of Eleanor on the bed. "And why did you pull me away so early? I wanted to talk to Hannah!" Eleanor said sitting up and glaring at Leo.

"Saving her is already enough. You dont have to talk to her after that. I do not wish to see you talk to her anymore" Leo said glaring at her. "Here you go again, making decisions for me" Eleanor said rolling her eyes as she folded her arms. "This is for your own good Eleanor" Leo said as he sighed. Eleanor stood up and stomped towards the door. "Eleanor your crown!" Leo yelled as Eleanor slammed the door and ran away from Leo's room.

Eleanor took her heels off throwing it away, as she pulled her hair down, feeling free. Just a day of being in royalty was suffocating. Especially being with Leo. He's making a fuss over a mere hickey.

"You're married my child" the angelic Eleanor side was saying. "He could've just dealt with it privately instead of involving the whole monarchy" the evil side of Eleanor said as Eleanor nodded at how true that is.

Eleanor especially hated the crown. It was so hard to scratch her itchy head and not to mention about how heavy it is. She would've much preferred being at home, where she was free to use anything she wants. She was also free to wake up any time she wants. Eleanor made a fuss about waking up at 6 am today.

"Oh my, Eleanor what are you doing?" the Grand Princess, Adeline said, gasping at the sight of a messy barefooted Eleanor. Eleanor smiled cheekily.

"Of course it's suffocating, living in the palace. Before I married the Grand Prince, I was just like you. Free spirited, carefree. I did everything I wanted and would sometimes create trouble in the Maguires family" Annette said laughing, reminiscing at her old memories. They were at the garden rooftop just chatting with each other. "How did you get married into the royal family, your royal highness?" Eleanor asked curious as Annette frowned. "Just drop the formalities when we're alone. I hated that title that's pulling me back from travelling the world" Annette said as she looked down at her feet. "Do you hate the Crown Prince Annette?" Eleanor asked as Annette looked at her.

"I used to hate the Grand Prince back then. We got married because of a royal decree, just like you and Nicholas. But trust me, if you learn how to accept your title, you might actually enjoy being a princess" Annette said and smiled softly. She looked at Eleanor as if Eleanor was her past life who would throw tantrums at everything. She even tried running away from the palace just to travel the world. Eventually Anthony caught her and brought her back to the palace where she got into deep troubles with the royal family.

"I hope you can lean on me more Eleanor. You're now apart of the royal family. You can't always lean on a non-royal to keep your position in the royal family" Annette said grabbing Eleanor's hand. Eleanor smiled and nodded. Annette took her crown off setting it on the table.

"We'll survive in here together" Annette said as they both look at each other's eyes. They both knew they could get replaced any time in the future.

"God not wearing this crown is the best!" Annette yelled feeling relieved the weight on her head has been removed. "I thought I was the only one who hated it" Eleanor said looking at Annette with hearts in her eyes.

"I hate the main palace rules too" Annette said and Eleanor nodded her head like a puppy. "Who in their ridiculous mind decided to put dresses are compulsory to be used at all times. Where'd the hoodies go? I could rock wearing a hoodie and a crown together" Annette complained as Eleanor laughed having the immage of the Grand Princess in a hoodie and sweatpants wearing a crown on her head.

Annette had so many complains about the strict and suffocating main palace rules. "Maybe you could come to Rotten Ham palace if you're sick of wearing a crown and tight dresses" Eleanor offered. "Deal" Annette said shaking hands with her.
