Forbidden Love

Chapter 35

Elise's Pov

I was writing my story starting from the beginning, smiling and I touched my necklace. then mother taps the table making me snap out of my thoughts "Dear, you have to eat food. You barely eaten your fish" mother said.

I smiled and nodded, looking down to my writings "I have to finish this, just this part" I said and Mother walked closer to look at it "I love your writings, hm let me-" she said while taking the book, I quickly took it back and look at her "It's not ready yet" I said.

She chuckle "Alright, I'll read it when your finish. Look you have to eat plenty of food" Mother said while looking at me, Smiling "I will" I replied while chuckling and standing up. "Oh you are still wearing that" Mother said while pointing at the necklace.

I nodded with a smile, caressing the necklace "Yes, Mother. It's been 13 years since you gave it to me, Its the only thing that reminds me of you" I said while smiling warmly. Mother held my hand and smiled back "oh, Elise. You were still 7 in that time when I gave it to you but now. You are getting married to the man you love" she said.

I dont know what to say, i was sad and happy at the same time then Mom saw this as she furrowed "what's with the face, child?" She asks, I sighed and look down "Mother, I do not want to leave you" I replied honestly.

Mom look down and kept a smile on her face as she held the necklace close to my heart "Just keep this necklace, its not just a necklace but a symbol of my love for you. And if I'm far away from you just look at it so you wont look back" she said, I smiled and nodded, hugging her tightly.

"I love you, mother" I said while hugging her, i feel her smiling as she replied back "I love you too, my beloved" Mother said while caressing my hair before pulling away "Now let's go and eat, I dont want to be more emotional" she said while pulling away, I chuckled and nodded.

Mother led me to the kitchen as she served me the food, I smiled and dig in "sissy~ look my drawing" Leyla said behind me while showing me her drawing, I look at it and smiled "wow, that's so beautiful" I replied.

I then remembered Arthur, I have to give him the book I borrowed. Standing up then going into my room as I grab the book "Mother, I have to sneak inside the Castle again" I said and Mom furrows.

"No! They will see you and hurt you again, I will never allow that!" She said while holding my arm, preventing me to leave "Mom, I have to return this book to Arthur-" she cutted me off "No besides Arthur will come here tomorrow" Mother said.

I look down to the book "This is his favourite book, I should return it now please? If they saw me. Arthur promised to never let anyone hurt me" I replied and mother sighed.

It took moments for her to answer, she took a deep breathe "Because I trusted Arthur I will let you out" mother said and I was about to jump in happiness when she said firstly "But when I found out that woman again hurted you then I wont hesitate to come inside that castle and-" I cutted her off by hugging her.

"I know, I know. Then i'll make sure not to get caught or seen so you wont make any scene" I said and Mother hugged me back "Alright, then you should go now before it turns dark" I nodded, releasing the hug and grab the book before walking out from the house.

Humming a tune while walking to the back of the Castle, I knew that I always go inside through the Library but Arthur told me incase they found out I'll just go through the back door of the Castle to the Kitchen.

Arthur's Pov

I caressed my temple, my head is spinning to this signs and signatures. I cant even imagine being the new King and there is more works and signs to do. Then here's Father kept talking about Elise and how bad it is for the Family if I marry her. "You shall not marry her and that's final!"
