Forbidden Love

Chapter 31

Elise's Pov

Mother told me to ignore Arthur for a while so Victoria could rest her mind after that fight, I hang all the clothes and I heard from the neighbors.

"you see that woman?" "Yeah, you mean Elise the foreign girl?" "Yes, yesterday soon to be bride of Arthur came and hurted Elise because I heard she said that Elise kisses Prince Arthur!" "What- how! They did not even met and how are they kissing!" "I know, she's a whore".

I looked down and slowly walk back inside the house, I dont want to go outside anymore "Elise, are you alright?" Mother asks while sitting beside me "mother, people talk about me yesterday an-" she cutted me off.

"Elise, remember. You love Arthur and you are not that kind of person they talk about" Mother said while caressing my back, I nodded. I truly love Arthur. "Oh, elise were out of fruits now, can you go out to the forest and pick fruits?" Mother asks and I smiled, nodding.

"Even i dont like going out because of the situation yesterday but okay, I'll just go out through the window" I said and laugh, mother nodded and laughs "alright then, stay safe and oh heres the basket" she said while giving me the basket.

I nodded, smiling "okay mother" I walk inside my room and walk out through the window, Walking into the forest. Looking for the strawberry and its been days since I last picking fruits around the forest.

"Elise!" I heard a voice from afar and I swear its Arthur! I smiled widely then I remember what mother said, I quickly turn around to go to the other side "Elise, I know you are there!" He said then I quickly freak out and ran towards the big tree and hide.

"Elise!" The voice getting closer, I had this idea to climb on the tree. I climb up quickly, there is no way mother wont call me monkey when she sees me this. Arthur's voice getting more closer, I hug my both leg and my arms tightly around the big tree.

I never heard Arthur's voice again, I frown and turn my back to look, I whispered "where is he?" All of a sudden my grip was getting weaker, mister tree dont let go please! Then I loosen my grip, making me fall "ahh!"

I was expecting to land on the grass when, opening my eyes slowly to find Arthur catching me. I quickly move away from his arms "um" I looked down, then Arthur looking up to the tree "what were you doing up there?" He asks.

I look down and nodded, embarrassed "oh, well er.. I was uh- catching ah I mean picking fruits and I fell but glad you caught me" I said and Arthur chuckled "theres no even fruit in that tree" I look up to see its just a normal big tree. I tried changing the topic "oh, you see I found a squirrel in that way. lets go hunt some nuts" I said, I bite my lip. What am I even saying?!

Arthur just nodded and followed me "I was thinking about you yesterday night" he said and I nodded, smiling "well I know you always do" I replied, Arthur looked at me for a moment "Elise, do you love me too?" He asks suddenly, I stopped walking to look at him.

I wanted to say I love him too, I looked into his eyes then Arthur held my hand and placed it in his heart "Tell me the truth" I look back into his eyes and whispers "I love you too"

After I said that Arthur kisses me deeply, I closed my eyes and feeling his lips on mine. While my hand still placed against his chest while we kiss together then he slowly pulled away and cups my cheek "You dont know how happy I am, Elise" he said while smiling widely.

I smiled lovingly "Express it" I said then Arthur screamed loudly on the top of his lungs "I love you Elise!" I laughed and hug him "dont scream!" I said and he hug me so tight "I will love you forever! And I dont care if you are not my Parents type because You are the only woman I love and I want to marry" He said, I smiled more at his sweet words.

I furrowed at the word 'marry'. Looking up to him "Wait what?" Arthur looked at me and holding my cheek "I love you and I want to marry you" He said, I was shock. After confession of his love then marry me?

"But what about your parents, Arthur? Did you forget that you are the future king of the kingdom of Asirald and you are engaged with Princess Victoria?" I asks, still shock. Arthur frown and hold my both hands "I do not forgot, I want you and only you". He said seriously.

I bite my lip and look down "the marriage? You are going to marry Princess Victoria in that time you have to follow what your parents command you" I said, looking up to Arthur "they may command me but they can not command my heart" Arthur said while hugging me and pulling me into his arms.

I released a sigh and closes my eyes, resting my head on his chest while he pull me close and kissing my forehead.
I just forgot all the problems what Victoria did to me, Arthur loves me and I love him too. No one can separate us and not even Victoria or his parents.

Queen Eleanor's Pov

"Mom, t-that woman name Elise is the one who kissed your son. My Future husband!" Victoria said while covering her eyes as she cried. I look at Henry who has a disappointment on his face "I cant believe my son just never cared of his crown and goes to that filthy woman!" Henry said.

Victoria kept crying "Dear, go to your room first" I said, she nodded and stood up, leaving us alone with Henry. "Who is that woman, I want her information about where she live who's her family!" Henry said, I stood up.

"Her name was Elise, she was a commoner and she grew up in a different Island with her mother alone and she came here in our Island to seduce our son!" I said angrily "disgusting woman! She dont deserve to live, I have some plans to do" Henry said.

I crossed my arms "And what are they?" I asks and Henry walked towards the balcony, looking down at the village "hide that woman so Arthur thought she ran away and just say 'I do' to Princess Victoria" He said while chuckling.

Raising my brow "What if he wont? What if he instead looks for her" I asks and Henry looked at me "He'll suffer for the rest of his life, growing old and never crowned as King and unmarried" He said and It was disappointing.

"What? What about the kingdom, who would take care of it?" I asks again and He looked up, thinking "we'll find Louis and crowned him as king" He said, I scoffed "I dont like this plan of yours" I said.

Henry looked at me "oh well do you want no one to rule this kingdom?" He asks, I crossed my arms and look at him angrily "After banishing your own son from this Island, unamed him as your son and then want him back here again? Your unbelievable" I said while shaking my head, walking out of the room.
