Chapter 35 ( You can't make me leave )

But Why Conrad, that is not how history goes, Wait. at that moment I realized something, it was never said that Rowan had an uncle, Conrad was never mentioned in the history books nor was Malisa. indeed there were a lot of untold stories, Luna was right.

" This makes no sense if it was Conrad who killed the king then who is Jordan, " I said in a low tone forgetting that Rowan could hear me

" Who is Jordan," he asked

" Pardon " looking at him in shock

" you mentioned the name Jordan," he said, I blinked severally then smiled

" forget I said that, by the way, why are you so calm we should hurry up and arrest him " changing the topic

" We shouldn't rush, there is more we have to find out," he said and I raised an eyebrow at him

" More?" he nodded at my question

" yes, if he wanted the throne he could easily get it but why build an inn, he must be hiding something in it "

" that is true, and not only the inn but he let Malisa into the game, why get his daughter to marry you if he wants you dead, unless he is using this as a distraction to remain in the palace, he is up to something else, " I thought for a while, " we have to find out what his hiding "

" I got that covered " he replied, Smiling at me

" what?" I asked, confused but he only raised an eyebrow still smiling " why are you smiling"

" you know you look so cute when you Analyse things " the moment those words came out I felt the heat on my cheeks, Immediately I looked away

" No, I don't"

" you do, I first noticed it at the first game, I knew that you couldn't embroider but you covered it up pretty well, then the day we investigated the village illness, when we went to get Amelia's present, the night we dance, and some other occasions" our gaze met and I was lost in his beauty " cute and beautiful"

" stop," I said with seriousness as I looked away

" Nevertheless I wrote to your father so your carriage will be ready tomorrow along with a few soldiers that will escort you back to Aldovia "I was taken aback by his words

" wait, what, No "

" Natalia, I put an end to the game for your safety, I feel something is about to happen, something big and you are my priority and I will never forgive myself if something happens to you "

" No, I want to stay" why the fuck will Rowan do this, I can't go yet " I want to help you"

" Natalia No you can't, " I frowned at his words

" you can't make me leave, " I said

" I can and you leave tomorrow," he said with authority " and besides You said you don't want to marry me so Benglang's problem doesn't concern you " I was shocked

" so you are getting rid of me because I said I won't marry you" immediately I saw regret in his eyes

" Natalia you know that is not what I meant" I was calm

" well it looks like it " he took a step closer, and I took one back not wanting him to touch me

" Natalia "

" you said that you understood that I had reasons and you will wait, " I said not happy that he just wanted to get rid of me, and I also didn't understand why I was hurt by it, after all, I knew that it was not what he meant but why was I thinking that why

" I do and I will wait till you are ready to tell me " he took a step closer again and before I couldn't move, with his both hands on my waist he lifted me and place me on the table

" what the fuck are y...." he cut me off

" Natalia" he called calmly and our gaze met, it felt like he had a spell on me because I found myself unable to say a word

" yes "

" I Love you " his words melted my heart, taking away my gaze I look down at my feet. why was Rowan being like this, I felt his warm hand on my cheek as he lifts my face to look at him " I don't want you to go, but I have to. but I promise that when I bring down my Uncle I will come and get you, ok " I saw honestly in his eyes and I nodded

" you promise?" I asked and he nodded

" I promise"

" When will you leave for the inn, " I asked

" Tomorrow night, Eric and I," he said

" ok, don't miss me too much " my words made him laugh and I could not stop myself from smiling

Rowan made sure I left for Aldovia and I didn't give him a hard time because I had a plan. Ella was the only one with me in the carriage while 15 soldiers protected the carriage, it was going to be hard for me to get out.

" I am going to miss that place," Ella said and I nodded in agreement. if I was to do something then I have to do it fast because if we leave Bengland entirely I won't know the way back. I opened the cotton and pip to the back and damn it, there were soldering guarding the back of the carriage, I have to come up with something fast. I looked at Ella

" I need to pee, " I said squeezing my dress to tell her that it was urgent

" Now?" she was confused because we just left

" yes now " taping my legs

" stop the carriage " Ella yelled, immediately the carriage stopped I went out, and one of the guards helped me down and Elle followed " the princess needs to be excused," she said and lead me into the forest. she stopped and watched as I went a little bit further.

" isn't that enough," she said and I rolled my eyes and bent down to fake pee. I stood up after a while

" Wow, that was close," I said out loud as I walked toward her, then I brought a small rectangular box from my dress

" What is that, " she asked

" it's cake " I opened it revelling two small cakes, I took the pink one and began to eat

" How did you get that," she asked with curiosity in her tone

" the kitchen," I said with a mouthful and she rolled her eyes " what?"

" you stole it "

" it was so appetizing and look I got you one," I said handing her the other brown one

" Natalia, you know it's wrong," she said with her arms crossed

" oh come on, look just try it " she didn't respond " please" I gave her puppy eyes and she smiled

" fine " she took it and began eating " hhh " nodding in agreement to how delicious it was "it's good" I watched as she eat the whole thing and suddenly she became dizzy " oh my " trying to remain balanced" Natalia?" and just like that she fell, I knelt to check and was glad that she was sleeping and I smiled, the cake was mixed with sleeping drugs that I got from the royal doctor saying that I was having a hard time sleeping

" Forgive me, Ella, I shouldn't do this to you but I have to," I explained, I kissed her on the forehead and stood up " please don't be angry " with that I began running back to Bengland, I told Rowan that he can't make me leave and I meant it. I have to succeed
