Chapter 21

**in the evening.

In lilo's room.

What took you so long,she said to someone stuffing her face with food.

It's not easy you know,ethan said and wiped the remnants of food at the side of her lips.

She fed him also as she couldn't finish the food alone.

He removed his mask whenever they were alone,so she was used to seeing him without his mask.

These was their normal routine for two weeks.

**in Ethans's room.

I have a plan to call off the wedding,ethan said.

Tell me,lilo said.

You might not like it,he said.

What is it,he said.

It involves you starving for a very long time,he said and she gasped.

Oh my God,she yelled.

What?,he asked.

You want me to starve,you want be to reach my early grave,she said.

Ok fine,you won't starve,Ethan said.

Then what will happen,she asked.

In the face of everyone in the palace ,there will think you are starving meanwhile i will be bringing food into your room,he explain.

I will be locked up?,she asked.

Can you do that?,he asked.

Anything for you,she said and he smiled.

**in lilo's room.

Are you done eating,he asked.

Yh,she said and removed the plates and he came back to see her on the bed so he joined her and dozed off to sleep so he left her and went to his room.

Early in the morning ethan woke up to see Lilo on his bed holding him while sleeping,he looked at her and she looked deep asleep,he wanted to leave the bed and go take his bath.

1 hour,she begged.

Are you awake?,he asked and she was quiet.

Why did you leave me,she said as she opened her eyes.

What if the queen was to come back and i was in your room,he said.

Don't leave me again,okay,she said and slept again.

He had no other choice but sleep again as she wouldn't let him leave the bed,he was awake at first as he couldn't sleep back but finally be slept.

Knocm knock****

Wake up,ethan urged lilo and she hummed adjusting her position.

Wake up,your mom is at your door,he said and she woke up suddenly.

What?,she yelled and he shushed her.

Be quiet,he said and left the bed.

He left the room and went outside to meet the queen.

My queen,he greeted and she turned to look at him and she looked sleep deprived.

Did she come out?,she asked.

He was feeling a bit guilty but still said "no my queen",.which made her start to weep.

My queen,something may be disturbing her and she probably wishes to be alone,he said.

Lilo is it about the wedding,come out and I'll talk to your dad,she said and ethan smiled internally and lilo was rejoicing.

Maybe she is asleep,you don't look too good you should take rest,ethan said and she looked at him.

You can come again later my queen,he said sdn she finally left.

When she was gone he entered his room and locked the door as he turned to look at lilo she jumped on him suddenly but he was able to balance himself.

She hugged him tightly and he hugged her back as he was happy,when she came down from him,he looked at her.

What,she said.

Why did you come here, he asked.

Well you left me alone and i was lonely,she said sadly making his anger dissapear.

What if the Queen caught us,he said.

She didn't right,so don't worry,she said.
