Elen slightly widened her eyes but was quick to disperse it. What is he doing? One moment he's cold and another moment he's acting very nice. She would never understand this man nor his mood swings. What happened that he's acting so calm today? Not that she wanted him to be angry, he's mood swings are just unpredictable.
"You took a bit more of my time than expected, Helena." He said with that cold voice but Elen could see the mischievous smirk he was throwing at her.
"I'm sorry, your highness." She said, not tearing her gaze from the food.
He leaned back on the chair and watched her eat. He wasn't eating anything, it seemed like he was lost in his own thoughts.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Elen asked.
"I'm not hungry." He said with his eyes closed.
"Hurry up, so we can get going..I have some work to do." He added, causing Elen to stuff the remaining food in her mouth.
Elen had finished eating but his food was left untouched. She wondered why he didn't want to eat. She wanted to ask him again but she didn't want to anger him.
He stood up and held his hand out with a slight smile curved on his lips. Elen wondered why his smile looked so sad. It was as if he didn't have any emotions in him. His smile was something sinister.
She let out a low sigh and took his hands. Surprisingly, she was not feeling nervous around him, which was very unlike her. Whenever she's around people she's not familiar with, she's always feeling nervous. But she didn't even feel nervous around him today! Or is it because he's her husband now?
They left the quarters and were now at the front of a carriage. Five men were walking behind them, Elen already knew they were soldiers. Their broad shoulders, tall figures that screamed of authority, and they were equally handsome.
He stepped into the carriage, still holding Elen's hands. When he was certain that she was comfortable, he ordered and the carriage started moving leaving the already shocked soldiers behind.
"What the hell happened to our prince?!!" The huge one, who's name was Robert spoke.
"I don't know, why don't you ask him." Another huge figure spoke. Lago.
"He seems to have calmed down a bit...I mean, his highness never acts like a gentleman, just look at what he did!!" Robert said.
"Well, he's married now. He doesn't want his wife to get scared of him." Another person spoke. Though he was younger than the rest.
"Shut up Lucas! His highness is not doing that because of his wife!" Lago said, clearly irritated.
"Then can you explain that gentleman gesture he just displayed?" Lucas said.
"Only his Highness has his reasons, I don't know." He shrugged... "Have you forgotten what happened to him in the past?" Lago said.
I haven't forgotten, but don't you thi-"
"His highness is now married, and it's his duty to protect and care for his wife...so you should all stop talking, you idiots!" A tall figure spoke, he was also as huge as the rest. Finn
"Ugh!! I just think our prince should really change his cold attitude...maybe the princess will be the one to melt his iron heart." Robert said.
"Shut up...you idiots!! aren't you all supposed to be in the castle with the prince? Now stop the gossips and let's get going." The tallest and the hugest of them all spoke. Amadeus was their leader. He was just as handsome as the rest.
"Ohh leader, you're so boring...I also hope someone can help to cure you of your boring infection." Robert said but the big man just glared at him.
They all left the prince's quarters and headed to the throne hall to meet with their prince.
