"When will Sebastian be returning? Or don't tell me that he did not tell you that as well?" Elle asked as Lorna began to head back to the door, taking the trays along with her. She had asked questions while she was eating but the maid could not or perhaps it was more that she would not give her any answers. r

"I'm not told anything about that too, princess. I'm sorry once again." Lorna answered before the door shut closed again behind her. Elle had caught the slight flush on Lorna's cheeks just before she left the room. It could be embarrassment due to not knowing anything, or embarrassment due to guilt of concealing the truth from her. r

Time passed and soon it was already midnight. Elle had never felt time pass so slowly like it had today, for a long time already. However, she had decided to be patient and just wait in the room obediently as she had been instructed to. She had realized that she was only wasting her breath in asking the maid. Obviously, nothing would be spilled from those lips.r

Lorna had only repeatedly told her that this was for her sake and that she had to wait and ask Sebastian for the answers to her questions once he was back. She realized that that was indeed the only way for her to get an answer about this ridiculous situation she had suddenly somehow found herself into. She had been thinking of all the questions she was meaning to bombard him with once he emerged from the door.r

​ But the infuriating prince did not arrive even after the sun set. r

Elle did not even know what to say. A soundless laugh could only escape her lips. Sebastian you… you damned little cruel tyrant!!! Why were you suddenly doing this?!!r

No matter how she tried to figure out the reason why he had to go as far as to lock her in their room and even keeping guards by the door, she just could not find any logical answers. The man had even disabled the internet in their room and had also taken her phone hostage. That was just too much!!! r

That night, Elle finally fell asleep very reluctantly, blazing in frustration that she had no place to release it onto. r

The next day, she held herself back and stopped asking. She did not bug Lorna anymore and did not even ask a single question. r

When afternoon came, one of the guards entered the room. He was not as tall and big as Lucas but he's pretty good-looking. Well, everyone in this country were all disturbingly good-looking but Elle hadn't seen a green-eyed man yet except this guard. The air around him also seemed less intimidating compared to the other guards. Somehow, this man felt kind of different compared to the rest. His surprisingly beautiful long, blond hair really stood out too. r

Elle's gaze fell to the books in his hand and she creased her brows. Does this mean that she was going to be locked up in this room a bit longer? r

She fought for calm even though she was so close to blowing up now. r

"I've brought you books, princess." He said politely. "Please take a look if you want any of these. If nothing among these strikes your fancy, I'll go get you something else." r

"Rion, right?" Elle asked. Lucas had told her this blonde's name once before. Good thing she was good in remembering names.r

"Yes, Your Highness." Rion saluted. r

"How old are you?" r

"Uhm… twenty-one… ?" His reply came back hesitant and sounding more like a question than an answer, causing Elle to raise her brow.r

"We're the same age, I see… who told you to bring me books?" Elle questioned him strictly. She did not want to be hard on these people who were merely following their superior's orders, but she did not have a choice. r

"We just thought that you must be bored since the Internet is down. We're not allowed to let you use any gadgets. But books are fine, so we've thought about this. I'm not sure about what kind of book interests you though."r

"Really? It's not my husband who had instructed you people and ordered you to bring me books?" r

Rion blinked and then rubbed the back of his neck. "No, Your Highness –" r

"You're lying. Let me borrow your phone. I need to call him." She reached out her hand to the man. r

"Uhm… princess. I'm sorry but I don't have my phone with me…" his tone sounded stilted and unnatural. r

She narrowed her eyes at him and her gaze searched him down to his pocket sides. Her eyes stopped at something bulging in his pocket. "Give me your phone, Rion." r

The man stepped back. "Uhm, I'm sorry Princess, but I can't. Forgive me." And then he turned and rushed out of the room almost like a scared cat running away from a big bad lioness.r

Elle pressed her fingers on her temples and then slammed her palm on the table. "Sebastian… you devil!" she muttered angrily. r

Night came and still, Sebastian did not come home. This was already the second night!r

With a blank and dull expression, Elle stood by the window. All she had done the past hours was to think. She was tired and angry and frustrated. She did not know what to do. She cannot be stuck in here, held back against her wishes, when she was supposed to be doing so many other important things. r

Her mind was in chaos and turmoil. Whatever the reason was behind all this, she refused to be stuck here like some prisoner. She refused to be like a bird kept in a gilded cage like this again. She had had enough of it during her time being controlled and watched over by her father and Brandon Haze. The reason she got married and was carrying out this farce with Prince Sebastian was also to get herself out of the last problem. She did not get married, only to be treated the same way. Never! No more!r

Clenching her fist tight, Elle stared up at the full moon above when a howl reached her ears. r
