The Prince Demand I Marry Him

Chapter 16

With such heavy footsteps, Eleanor entered the supermarket being followed by a few royal guards. She smiled awkwardly as a few citizens took their phone out for a picture. Eleanor looked at Leo who was somehow used to it, tugging on his sleeves. "What?" Leo said looking at the spice section, grabbing an item, reading the guide on it before placing it inside of the cart. "What are we doing here?" Eleanor asked covering her face. "We're shopping Eleanor" Leo replied pushing the cart as Eleanor felt like digging a hole and burying herself alive.

Leo most definitely knew Eleanor had never been into a supermarket before just by the way she was acting. Yet again, she can't be blamed. She was the most spoiled daughter of the Lockharts. Of course her shopping means, going to an expensive brand store and emptying the whole aisle.

Even though Leo was a royal, he would go out with his mother before his father ascended to the throne and his mother was crowned Queen of the nation. He always enjoyed grocery shopping with her but sadly, they can't do it together anymore. Leo was grateful he finally had a company to accompany him in the huge shopping mart.

But again, Eleanor had been complaining the whole time about shopping in the grocery store. Leo sighed knowing exactly what to do with her. "Keep quiet for a while and follow me" Leo said, pushing the cart to the snack aisle.

Eleanor's mouth dropped seeing her favourite snacks. "I've only seen this in a candy store" Eleanor cried looking at the aisle full of snacks before going in mania mode, grabbing every single snack she liked or wanted to try. Leo sighed, smiling at how hyperactive Eleanor was. But again the shopping cart was full with Eleanor's snacks as Leo took a deep breath before telling her to push the cart and grabbing a new shopping cart.

Eleanor was actually having much fun pushing the cart after a moment of protest. "I told you it's not bad" Leo said. "Maybe they should make a sport of pushing a shopping cart. I'll definitely win first place" Eleanor said as she ran and stepped onto the cart, letting it move on it's own. Eleanor screamed when she was about to hit an aisle, too scared to jump down the shopping cart. "Nichy help me!" she yelled catching the attention of nearby shoppers as Leo's eyes widened before running to her, stopping the cart.

Eleanor pouted as she jumped onto Leo hugging his neck. The other shoppers sighed as the Princess was saved. They smiled looking at the cute newly weds being all love dovey.

Leo sighed, forgetting they were royals for a moment. Leo put Eleanor down. "Maybe you should stay away from shopping carts in the future" Leo said handing the shopping cart to a nearby royal guard as Eleanor pouted. Leo bit his lip knowing this is definitely gonna make the headlines tomorrow. He was worried about Eleanor wellbeings. Eleanor had always been protected by the Lockhart family so she was never revealed to the media.

"Lord Atkins" Leo said as the Head of the Rotherham Royal Guards, Randy Atkins, Marquess Atkins oldest child came forward. "Yes Sire" he said with a slight bow. "Make sure nothing about this appears in the news" Leo whispered as Randy nodded his head.

Leo sighed before continuing his path while Eleanor stuck close to him to prevent her from doing anything dumb that could possibly put shame onto the royal family.

After finishing his shopping, Leo went to the cashier to pay for the stuffs. "Your highnesses" the clerk greeted before doing her work. Leo shook his head at Eleanor's cart. Everything in it was snacks and sweets and also pastry. Leo smiled thinking it was cute.

"You surely bought a lot of snacks" Leo said as Eleanor smiled. "I love to eat" Eleanor said as her smile grew even wider. "There's a snack limit stated in the book of the Royal Rules, I'm afraid I will have to confiscate the rest" Leo whispered and smiled, pinching Eleanor's cheeks. Eleanor's eyes widened but she was still smiling. She was cursing that damn book and whoever who wrote the book.

Reaching the Rotherham Palace, the maids and butlers were busy arranging the groceries. All of them shocked at the amount of snacks being bought.

"Can I at least eat 10 packs of whatever snacks a day?" Eleanor tried bargaining with Leo. "No" Leo said as he continued walking. Eleanor tugged his sleeve as she followed him to wherever he wanted to go. "Unless" Leo said stopping at his tracks causing Eleanor to bump on him. "Unless what?" Eleanor asked ready to hear the deal. "You have to exercise with me each day" Leo said and smiled. Eleanor looked at him in disgust. "There is no way I'm working out" Eleanor said as she turned around, about to leave Leo.

"I'm afraid you have to, it's apart of the Royal Rules" Leo said, folding his arms enjoying the sight of Eleanor throwing a tantrum. "I'm sick of that book! No one is telling me what to do!" Eleanor yelled stomping away. "Hey! Even the King and Queen goes for walks in the afternoon!" Leo yelled and laughed after hearing Eleanor mimicking him from a far.

"Oh Eleanor you can't do this, Oh Eleanor you can't wear that, Oh Eleanor you have to wear your crown. Oh Eleanor, it's apart of the royal rules. Ah I'm sick of these royal rules!" Eleanor yelled pulling the grass in the garden releasing her frustration. She certainly did not sign up for this.

Maybe she was just too used to living a carefree life at the Lockhart's manner? Eleanor pouted wanting to go back in time to prevent her from meeting Leo. Just then a sudden thought crossed her mind. If she could sneak into the kitchen store, she would be able to hide her snacks and eat it anytime she wanted to.

Eleanor stood up in excitement as she smirked at herself for being smart. Yet again, Eleanor does not remember the path to the kitchen as she fell to the ground feeling hopeless. Just then she saw a person wearing a chef attired carrying a carton of veggies walking. Eleanor smirked as she silently followed the chef and finally found her way to the kitchen. The chef entered what seems to look like the kitchen storage and came out after awhile.

Eleanor watched the chef leave wondering why is the kitchen empty at this time. It was almost dinner time. Eleanor stood up, getting closer to the storage room and pushed the metal door open only to be greeted by Leo smiling at her.
