The Honor of My Family

Chapter 4

I looked at her. Then it came to me. She wants me to ask her. Then I got what I am going to say. I took her hand and lead her to the bench. I sat her down and I sat with her. Still with her hands in mine. I then said,

"Elizabeth, I know you are doing this for the honor of your family. But I hope one day you will tolerate me. Also, become friends. And just maybe you will fall to love me. Don't worry I would never make you yield your sword. We will take night walks so you could kill zombies."

She looked at me for a while. She then gave me a small grin and said,

"Very well."

"Okay. We should get inside to tell your family the news." I suggest to her.

*Jane's POV*

I got all my sisters and mom in the parlor waiting for our father, Elizabeth, and her mystery guy. Just then the door opened and we saw our father enter. He just went to his chair without saying a word.

"We have been waiting forever. No one knows what is going on. All Jane said was to come here and wait for you. My dear husband, what is going on?" My mother asked.

"Just wait. In a moment, you will know." He told her.

"Oh, my nerves. Also, where is Elizabeth?" She asked just realizing Elizabeth was missing.

"Probably on one of her boring walks." Kitty said sounding annoyed.

Just then the door opened to see Elizabeth walking in. But the person behind her had to shock us all. It was Darcy. He is the one.

"Elizabeth, where have you been?" Our mother asked. I thinking was trying to pretend Darcy was not there.

Elizabeth didn't answer her. She was staring at our father. He then nodded at them.

*Elizabeth's POV*

Our father then put his look down and looked at us all. He then said,

"My dear family, I can't hide this from you anymore. I am not well. I fear I am getting worse. To make sure you guys are well taken care of. Darcy here agreed to help."

"How?" Lydia asked confused.

"Darcy and I are going to get married." I said to them all. They all looked surprised. Everyone expect for Jane and our father.

"Oh Elizabeth, stop messing with my nerves. You would never give up your sword." She told me.

"It is no joke. She is getting married." Our father said.

Our mother's eyes went huge and a giant grin came on her face. She then jumped and yelled,

"Hill ring the bells. Have the servants have some punch. My daughter is getting married."

I just shocked my head. I looked over to my other sisters. They still looked shocked. I just went and sat down at the window seal. Darcy went over to talk to my father.

Darcy stayed for a bit longer. Then he left. I know I was doing something right. I am doing this for my family. I know he told me I never yield my sword. But once I say those two words I will have too. So we will see how this will go.
