Forbidden Love

Chapter 17

Elise's Pov

Arthur kept dragging me away from the castle "Arthur, stop" he ignores me and keeps dragging me more away from the castle "stop, Arthur!" I said and he stopped, turning his head to me "what's the matter?" He asks.

I look at him disbelief "what's the matter? You never told me he was your brother and you asked me whats the matter?" I asks, arthur held my arms and I pull back.

"Listen, It's not like that. I tried telling you bu-" I cutted him off "oh, but what? you lied to me!" I said as he try to take my hand, moving myself away from him "no, Elise let me explain" I shake my head.

"There is nothing to explain, oh and you also forgot something, You promised me that you'll give your family a chance to show you how much they love you, but what? Punching your own brother" I said.

He shake his head, looking angry "He hurted you! He-" I move back away from him "No, he didn't mean it! And you cant even tell your brother to stop? Yet you continued hurting each other" I asked

Arthur looked down "We were good brothers before you came" he said, I looked at him "then you better fix your relationship with him" I said before turning around to leave.

"Elise!" I hear him yell for me, I ignore him and continue to walk away.

Later I arrived in the house, looking at John waiting for me outside "elise, where have you been? Your mother and I are so worried." He said.

I look at him, smiling slightly "I just walk around the village, and i'm fine. Nothing to worry" I said, John nodded and taking my hand as we walk inside the house.

"Oh, honey you're back!" Mom said, I smiled and nodded, hugging her "Yes, mother. I just walk around the village and some of them interests me" she nodded. "And that is?" . I look at her with a smile "I found out about Library, full of books and I read some of them" I said.

Mom nodded with a smile "That's actually great! You really love reading books" I nodded with a smile "always". She smiled back "oh, and look John made you your favorite food" I gasp and smile at John "Thank you".

We ate and finished, walking inside my room and released a sigh "I heard that, something is wrong. Tell me" I hear mom walking inside the room and closing the door behind her.

I sighed, looking down to my hand "it's about Arthur, he lied to me" I said and mom held my hand "everyone lie, elise and you cant blame him for that so is that the first time he lied to you?" Mom asks and I nodded my head.

Mom chuckle "see! It's still the first time he lied to you, give him a chance, elise and in the next time he'll learn to never lie to you again" mother said, I smiled and look at her "you are the best mother and yes, I'll give him a chance" I said with a smile. Mom hugged me "see everything is fine when im here" she said and I nodded "Thank you, mother" I reply with a smile.

In the next day, taking a basket and walk around the market to buy fruits.

"Elise" Hearing a voice from the back, I turned around and see Louis "what are you doing here, louis?" I asks and turned around again to continue buy fruits.

"You have to listen to me" Louis said and I ignore him, looking up to the woman "here you go" I said and give her a penny, turning around to leave then Louis grab my arm carefully "will you just listen to me?" I sighed and turn to face him.

"What do you want, huh? After you lied to me for not telling me that you had a brother and even punched arthur first?" I asks and he take my hand, dragging me away from the village "what are you doing, let go!" I said, trying to free from his grip as he keep dragging me with him.
