Misconception

Charming took Ella to the port to fulfill her wish.

Charming: "So, this is the sea." He was mesmerized by the view.

Ella: "It's beautiful, isn't it?" She smiled.

There were many ships at the dock, and the port was bustling with people trading.

A merchant: "Hey, you two over there, I have some great goods for young couples."

Charming: "How dare you speak like that?!"

Charming was dressed in ordinary clothes, so the man didn't recognize him.

Ella took Charming's hand and said: "Please stay calm, he just wants to sell us his goods." She smiled.

Charming: "There's nothing interesting here, let's go."

Ella: "Is this a compass?!" She was excited.

Charming saw that Ella had moved away. He quickly went to her and said: "Why did you suddenly move away from me?!"

Ella: "Sorry, I got really excited!"

Ella went to look at the other items the merchants had brought.

Charming: "Wait, don't wander off so easily!"

Ella: "Sorry, I got really excited!"

Ella went to look at the other items the merchants had brought.

Charming: "Wait, don't wander off so easily!"

Ella: "They sell beautiful necklaces here. And here, they sell rare fruits."

Charming took Ella's hand and led her away.

Charming stood somewhere away from the dock.

Ella: "What's wrong?"

Charming: "You can't go anywhere without my permission, understand?"

Ella: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

Charming took Ella's hand and led her to a quiet alley.

Ella: "Your highness? 

Charming kissed her cheek.

Charming: "Now promise me you won't leave my side."

Ella: "Your highness... are you encouraging me with kisses?"

Charming: "What's wrong with that? Isn't that what you wanted?"

Ella: "You broke your promise." She felt a bit sad.

Charming thought for a moment and said: "I'll break any promise to protect you." He smiled proudly.

Ella: "I'm happy anyway, so I forgive you." She smiled.

Charming: "Seems like you've forgotten your place; a poor girl like you wants to forgive me?" He laughed.

Ella: "You're still mocking me!" She ran off quickly.

Charming, frustrated: "So, now you're running away, huh?"

Ella was angry about what Charming had said and decided to take a walk in the city.

Drizella: "Ella, I didn't expect to see you here!" She waved and came over.

Young man: "Hey Drizella, who's this girl?"

Drizella: "This is Ella, my stepsister." She smiled.

Young man bowed: "I've heard about you, you are Prince Charming's fiancée."

Drizella: "I listened to what you said and confessed my feelings. You were right, I just needed the courage to say how I felt." She smiled.

Drizella said goodbye to Ella and left with the man she loved.

Ella was sitting by the fountain, thinking about what Charming had said.

Ella: "I wish Prince Charming were a bit kinder to me."

Charming: "Finally found you."

There was a frightening look in Charming's eyes. He grabbed Ella's hand tightly and took her with him.

Ella: "My lord?"

Charming: "You worried me enough, we're going back to the palace."

Charming and Ella got into a carriage and returned to the palace.

Here's the English translation:

Ella sat on the couch, fearfully looking at Charming. Charming had a serious expression and was busy with his work. The atmosphere was heavy, and Ella didn't dare to say anything. After a while, Ella broke the silence: " your highness..."

Charming, very coldly: "What is it?"

Ella: "Are you still angry with me?"

Charming: "No."

Ella: "Then can I go back to my room?"

Charming: "Stay here."

Ella: "But..."

Charming: "You mustn't take even a step without my permission."

Ella: "I see..."

Charming stood up and approached Ella. Ella got scared and pulled back.

Charming: "What happened to all that courage you had this morning?" He smiled.

Charming took Ella's cheek to kiss her. Out of fear, Ella scratched his face.

Ella, scared: "Please forgive me, Your highness, I didn't mean to do that!"

Charming touched his face and said: "Whether you like it or not, you belong to me, so you have to accept it." He smiled and kissed Ella. After a moment, Charming looked at Ella's face. She was blushing and trembling.

Charming: "I don't have feelings for you; I like you because you listen to me easily."

Time had passed. Ella had locked herself in her room for several hours.

Servant: "Young lady, it's not good to lock yourself in your room."

Ella didn't respond. She sat on her bed, hugging her knees.

Ella: "Why did I ever hope for anything from someone like him?"

Ella opened the window, letting some fresh air in. She tied the bedsheets together and used them to climb out of the window.

Ella: "I'll make him really worry about me." She smiled.

The servant opened the door: "Young lady-"

Suddenly, she saw the open window and realized Ella was gone.

Charming: "You said she escaped from her room?!"

Charming quickly went to find Ella.

King: "So, the girl has run away, huh?" He smiled.

Guard: "Your Highness, aren't you worried?"

King: "My son still has a lot to learn." He smiled.

Here's the English translation:

Ella: "This place is so beautiful, I feel alive." She closed her eyes and smiled at the scent of the flowers.

Charming saw Ella and said: "You went out without my permission again." He sighed and put his hand on his forehead.

Ella turned and said: "You were worried about me and came to find me, right?"

Charming: "I'm not worried about you, but if you get lost, it would be really bad for me." He sighed.

Ella: "But it seems you're happy."

Charming came over and took Ella's hair. He frowned slightly and said: "How dare you play with my feelings?!" He hugged and kissed her.

Charming looked at Ella. This time he wasn't upset.

Charming: "You're not angry with me... but why?"

Ella: "Because I missed you." She blushed slightly.

Charming, surprised: "Even though I treated you badly?"

Ella: "I wanted to run away, but I couldn't." She hugged Charming.

Charming thought: "Why is my heart racing again? Do I really love her?"

Ella: "I'll accept any order you give, just please love me."

Charming: "Any order?"

Charming thought: "I thought she wanted to take advantage of my position, but she's been honest with me all along."

Charming didn't have good memories of women, so he was afraid to marry. Ella's words were encouraging.

Charming: "Thank you, my dear Ella." He smiled.
