Chapter Twenty Five

***William's POV***

Coughing, I pull myself out of the water and onto steady ground. I lay there, thanking God for my life. I was ready to kiss the ground when I head screams and my horse.

I scurried up running toward the screams. I saw Henry going crazy, "Henry!" When he heard my voice he comes running to me and almost tramping me.

"whoa there! Calm down!" I grab him and try to calm him but it doesn't seem to work. Something's wrong. I look around and search the place for trouble when I saw a snake. I stomp on its head and kill it but that doesn't seem to be the issue with Henry.

I hear a yelp and saw a head bob out of the water for a split second the goes under.

I quickly jump in and search for the person and found a hand. I grab it tightly, "Henry!" I grab his neck and he pulls me and the person out.

I hear a cough and I turned to look at the person. "Elena!" I cry out.

"I was supposed to be the one who saves you. Instead you saved me again."

I jerked her into a tight hug. "I'm so glad I focus you! I was so worried I'd get to you too late! I thought I'd never see you again."

She looks at me in astonishment. "I didn't think you felt that way, William. I thought you hadn't cared about me since Erica came into the picture. But when I saw Henry without you I panicked, afraid you were gone and we'd be apart forever and I--"

"I love you." He interrupted. "And I made a mistake when I let you go and I'm not going to make that mistake again. I want you to be with me forever." I look straight into the eyes and spoke what I was afraid to admit, "I want you to be my wife."

Her eyes goes wide and tears start to flow from her eyes. "William, I-I dot know what to say."

"Say yes."

"Yes. Yes, William, I'll marry you. But how? You're a prince and I'm not royalty."

"I don't care. I'll do what ever I take to be with you and that means letting my crown go to my sisters then that's what I'm willing to take that chance."

"I love you, William, but I can't let you do that! It's your responsibility."

"And you're my life now. I can't live without you and if I can't have you then I don't know what I would do."

I pull her into a kiss and she hugs me tightly "I never what to leave you again." She whispers.

"You won't have to."
