After getting cleaned up we made our way to breakfast when we get there instead of Elise sitting near her mom like she usually did she sat next to me at the end of the table we looked like a copy of the king and queen causing them to smile seeing us like this " I assume you two had a good night " the queen said with a smirk
Zamel did a little snort " you know they did I swear I could her them all the way in my study " me and Elise look away in embarrassment we were pretty loud last night not to mention the bed creaking and banging on the wall " can you really blame us it was both our first times " Elise said a bit shyly then leaned on me and I kissed her forehead
everyone just smiled looking at us happy that there daughter found someone she truly loves " I'm just happy that you are happy " The queen said the king and zamel nodded too
Elise smiled at this feeling there care for her even though they were willing to marry there daughter to someone to help the kingdom it didn't mean they don't want what is best for her or they wouldn't have given her a chance in the first place and Elise knows this she doesn't hold a grudge against them they only did what they thought was best for the kingdom and her safety they didn't ask to be born into royalty but they still must think of the kingdom too
After a few minutes we started eating while we were eating the king looked at me " we got a message from the human kingdom a couple of days ago they are asking us to send any travelers that may have appeared to them so you can learn basic knowledge of this world and choose what to do I have made plans for a carriage take you there tomorrow " Elise looks shocked at this news and so am i
" why would you do that " Elise asked a bit annoyed the king looked at his daughter with a calm expression " it's normal to eventually send any travelers to the human kingdom its been this way since almost the beginning and its the only place really equipped properly to teach traveler's since all are usually human " Elise pouted cutely " fine but I'm going with him"
The queen and king were shocked to here this" you can't the humans don't treat other races very well you know this " the king said the queen nods beside him " besides we have to plan the wedding for when he gets back " Elise just shakes her head " I can still help with the planning by sending letters of what I want and I will be fine father I'm not weak anymore like when I was a child plus ill have my love with me he wouldn't let anything happen I'm sure I'll be fine I didn't get engaged just to spend time away from the one i love " Elise said with a determined expression
The king and queen can only feel worried about it they know how stubborn there daughter can get she isn't like this usually but when she is she won't take a unsatisfying answer " fine just please be careful " the king said with a worried expression Elise nodded " of course I will...it also gives me a chance to check our businesses there too " she said and we continued eating
The queen got up an came over to Elise
" since I only get today too probably get to plan the wedding with you your going to spend the day with me " she said to Elise and she nods
" I'm going out with her for today ok" Elise said to and I nodded " ok I'll miss you though " I say to her and she smiled " don't worry you'll have me all to yourself for a couple months after tomorrow " then we kissed and she continued after we broke apart " got to go now to make sure our wedding is amazing I love you" she says then grabs her moms hand and they walk out
"Make sure she gets back ok I know that some of the humans there are obsessed with elves and want them at any cost that's why most of the slavers for elves are human protect my daughter from them no matter what they do" the king said seriously
I stand up and look back at him " I will protect her she will be my wife there is nothing anyone could do to ever stop me from protecting her even if I have to fight the whole kingdom to protect her I will do it and I will do it happily with all the strength I can muster and more to my dying breathe"
Seeing my determination the king and zamel both nodded " thank you that puts me more at ease Im happy my daughter loves someone like you" he said " me to I never thought this would happen after so long I will take my leave now and go train a bit " i say then bowed leaving to the training room like usual I'm a creature of habit after all and this has become a bit of a habit shadow hasn't been around for some reason I can feel he is fine but I think he is out for some reason I hope he doesn't blame himself for what happened
..4 hours later.. I just got done with my usual training routine and was in the garden enjoying the atmosphere there when shadow finally appeared walking down the paths " where have you been" I asked him as He comes over sits next to me " I have been in the forest trying to track were the people who tried to kidnap the princess came from when I knew your going to be ok but I didn't have much luck so i came back" he said Then he sniffed me and put a smirk on his " it seems you two finally got together after I left"
I looked away a little bit " well I couldn't just let her get married to someone she didn't love and who didn't love her plus it was the deadline if I didn't she would have to marry that creature and I wouldn't stand for it so after I woke up before she got to far I asked her to marry she said yes " he just keeps looking at " I'm happy for you it's about time you over came your nerves and asked her " he said I stared laughing " why does everyone keep saying it's not easy to overcome it you know "
we sit in the garden talking until I see Elise come down the path from the palace and sits on my lap and we kissed " it's almost dinner time my love" she said after our kiss and then leaned down to pet shadow " ok let's go " I say and we all stand up to make our way there as we are walking I asked Elise how her day went " it was great I settled a lot of stuff I wanted for our wedding so there won't be to much for me to talk about while we are gone is there anything you wanted for the wedding " she asked me I thought for a couple seconds then just smiled at her "I already have what I want" I say then pulled her close to kiss
During dinner after we where done eating the king looks to me " i have put you two in a caravan that is going to the capital of the human kingdom to resupply our businesses there are a lot of guard for the caravan too so it should be a safe trip plus I will have you take a royal carriage just in case " Elise smiled hearing this a elven royal carriages can become like little fortress if they need just go's to show how much he cared for his daughter
I nodded at him " thank you and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you letting me stay here in the palace for this month it has been the best time in my life I can't thank you two enough I have been able to find a happiness here I never thought I would ever find and I can't express my gratitude enough I swear to love and protect your daughter to the dying breathe and beyond should I need too I just want you to know that so you don't think that just because we are going to the human kingdom that it will go away "
The queen looks at me with a smile " thank you for those words we appreciate them and we know our daughter will be safe with you " after that we all went to bed Elise and I made love again that night not sure if we will be able to on the road
The next day after breakfast and some final goodbyes Elise,shadow and I are at the entrance to the city were a pretty sizable caravan was about to depart we made our way to a carriage that was twice as big as the rest when we entered inside sitting at a little table was my antagonist blonde haired with orange eyes sipping some tea with a cold smirk on her face seeing us come in it was Amelia " finally we can drop off this human with its own kind " she said
