Be My Princess (Fanfiction): A Forgotten Memory

Chapter 21

Edward's POV:

"Why did you do that?" I stared into Glenn's eyes.

Glenn and I were on a balcony just outside of the Ballroom.

That announcement, it was unforgivable, and I just couldn't help myself to talk with him in private.

How could he do that to Linda?! What he did was unbelievable, unthinkable!

Glenn's back was to me as he shrugged.

"I had to do that," Was all he said for an explanation.

"What," My eyes widened as I balled my hands into tight fists. "Glenn, what do you mean that 'you had to do that'?!"

He turned around and he wore a pain expression on his face.

"Introducing Lady Elizabeth, and our betrothal, to all of you-- I had to. That's all I can say about it."

He was about to leave, but I caught him by the arm.

"So, what, were you just playing with Linda?! Messing with her emotions when you knew you were betrothed to someone else?!"

Glenn yanked his arm free from my grip.

"No!" He yelled. "That wasn't my intention--"

"Then what is your intention, Glenn?! Because right now. Linda is somewhere in this Castle probably crying her eyes out because of what you had done."

He looked down at his feet as he squared his shoulders.

"Don't say something like that," He muttered.

"Why, you know it's true."

"Edward," He looked at me through a painful glare. "I'm betrothed to Elizabeth. I always have been and I always will be. It's-- Its-- better to clear myself from distractions."

I snickered as I glared at him coldly.

"You're unbelievable right now, Glenn."

Disgusted, I left Glenn and began to search for Linda.

Leighton had apparently did the same. Since I couldn't find him anywhere in the Ballroom.

Glenn's POV:

Edward left me on the balcony, feeling disgusted with my decision.

Heck, he even had given me a look of disgust himself.

"I know," I mumbled underneath my breath. "I know that I'm unbelievable right now."

It's...I just had to do that. I just had to.

Linda...

Linda's POV:

Louis went to get me another cup of tea just when Edward had entered the secret garden.

He sighed in relief as he saw me sitting on the ground, next to the stone bench.

Silently, he sat down next to me.

I looked at Edward after awhile and he looked both worried and a little mad.

"W-Why do you look like that?" I muttered, trying to break the the silence, but I felt like I was trying to cut thick ice.

"Look like what?" He asked gently.

"Like..." I trailed off as I pursed my lips together. "Like you're worried and mad...all at the same time..."

Yup, definitely trying to cut thick ice.

"Do I look worried and mad?"

I nodded silently.
