Cursed Daughter Looking for a Mate
Chapter 49 Escape

Carlos' whole world seemed to be collapsing, there was nowhere to stand. He was drowning in a dark hole. Once Ellaine takes a decision it is very difficult to change. The King's decision can not be contested, convincing stubborn people seems useless.

Julliane felt compassion for the sincere man of her sister who was now limping down and lost all hope. There is one way, but Julliane is reluctant to do so, as Ellaine has to leave. He did not want to part with his sister. However, it would be the same as Leroy if he locked Ellaine in the palace without this freedom. It's the first time Julliane has felt this hard to let go of something.

"I'll help you. But promise me that you will take care of Ellaine with your life" said Julliane, staring fixedly at Carlos's eyes. 

The light in Carlos eyes came back again. He nodded while continuing to thank me. "I promise all my body and soul to Princess Ellaine."

Had Ellaine found out that Carlos loved her this sincerely, would she have accepted it? The most important thing is tomorrow.

"Come to the palace tomorrow night. I'll take care of the bodyguards. "

Julliane told Carlos her whole plan. The rescue of Ellaine must be done even if the saved person does not want to be saved.

***

The night tomorrow.

The palace gatekeeper lay on the ground, as Julliane promised. Carlos passed them without regard to his old comrades, they were not close at all. More precisely Carlos was not close to any bodyguards as it did not fit their idle nature, not in line with the knights it should have been. He continued to endure in order to become Ellaine's personal bodyguard, that was his only goal in this palace.

His goal changed, he would take forcefully Ellaine from this palace. Carlos treads on the main palace building. Julliane had been waiting in the living room, making sure no one knew of their suspicious actions. 

"Hurry, before anyone wakes up" Julliane ordered.

"Okay, Princess Julliane." Carlos rushed to Ellaine's room. 

The passageway to Ellaine's room was very quiet, only the sound of Carlos' feet rumbling. Fear enveloped Carlos but was easily conquered for the sake of his loved ones. Without hesitation he broke into Ellaine's room.

Ellaine squeaked on her bed, turning her head towards Carlos who was breathing. There's no sign of Beckett, as Ellaine and Beckett's engagement has been officially announced so there's no need to meet secretly.

"Why did you come here Carlos?" asked Ellaine in confusion.

Carlos grabbed Ellaine's hand gently trying not to hurt her. "I'll bring the Princess from here."

Ellaine brushes Carlos by the hand, and he turns away because he is already attached to someone else. "Did you know your actions would hurt yourself, Carlos? I already have a fiancee."

"The Princess doesn't love him."

"It's not a love affair, Carlos."

"At least think about the Princess' own feelings, will the Princess be happy with her?" Carlos raised his voice, he did not know what else to do to convince Ellaine. Dragging Ellaine to be at the last resort, she did not want to hurt her loved ones.

"I won't be happy, but everyone will be happy." Ellaine raised her voice. He already knows, he does not want to be reminded, because if he remembers he will scream for help.

"But, I am not happy Princess," said Carlos. Eyes glazed.

Ellaine's face stiffened. He closed his eyes, not wanting to see Carlos that sick. His lips were bitten to the point of bleeding.

Carlos wiped away the blood that ran down Ellaine's chin. Ellaine's body was screeching, and she opened her eyes. His eyes clashing against Carlos green eyes implied sadness.

"I love the Princess." I'm Carlos.

Ellaine was speechless. The words he had always wished for were now spoken from Carlos' lips. Had it not been this way, had he and Carlos not been his employers and subordinates he would have loved to hear that statement of love. No, Ellaine was happy, very happy just that her brain continued to resist.

"If another man can make the Princess happy, I will. But the future of the Princess with Prince Beckett there is only sadness in it. I don't want to see the Princess suffer."

"If the Princess doesn't come, I'll still be here. Princess Julliane has also taken pains to help me. I won't waste it."

'Even Sister Juli, too.' Inner Ellaine.

"I will serve the Princess while in the village. Make food, clean the room, prepare everything the Princess needs."

"..."

"If that's not enough, I'll buy jewelry and fancy dresses.  As much as possible I will find money so that the Princess can live like in the palace. So please don't waste happiness, Princess," asked Carlos in despair. 

"Carlos..." Ellaine put her hand against Carlos's face.

Ellaine's heart won. His lips were attached to Carlos's lips. The kiss was very short. Know-how Ellaine took it off. Not knowing what was going on, Carlos' eyes widened. Mind empty. Body sculpting. He doesn't believe what's going on. Ellaine kissed him, her one-handed love, was reciprocated.

Tears flowed down Ellaine's cheeks. Not because of sadness, but because of happiness. The brightest smile that could be compared was plastered on his lips. Carlos' sacrifice for him will not be wasted. Ellaine promised.

Ellaine grabbed Carlos' head touching their forehead, feeling Carlos's same breath hunting with her. 

"I love you too Carlos. Call my name."

"Elle..."

Unable to hold back his happiness any longer, Carlos brought his lips closer to Ellaine. He gently kissed his master as if he was made of glass that was easily broken. Hugging Ellaine's waist didn't want to let her go.

Tears kept flooding Ellaine's face, but she didn't want to wipe it. All the feelings he always harbored would show Carlos without any obstructions.

"Why is it so long?"

Julliane arrives at Ellaine's room worried that her plan isn't working. Suddenly he turned around with a reddened face looking at the two romancing lovebirds.

Carlos and Ellaine were embarrassed. They forgot the reason for Carlos' arrival. Ellaine immediately wiped her tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm bothering you guys" said Julliane to stay away from Ellaine's room.

"Ti-no, ki-we have to get out quickly," replied Ellaine who stuttered in nervousness. 

Carlos nodded in Ellaine's hand. There was no doubt in Ellaine's heart, she had chosen to live with Carlos.

In the living room, Julliane covered her face with both hands. Even though he is not the one who does embarrassing things, then he has seen people kissing in movies and weddings, in romance novels also do not escape such scenes, he said, but why was Julliane even embarrassed? 

I can't believe my sister could be like that either. He was only 17 years old after 1 day. Basic children today. No, royal children.

Ellaine and Carlos went down the stairs in the living room to Julliane. Ellaine didn't know what to say, so Carlos opened his voice.

"We go first, Princess Julliane."

"Hurry and make out at home" said Julliane, shaking one hand, and the other still holding her face.

Ellaine's face turned red all the way to her neck. Not wanting to stay here for long, Carlos pulled him out of the palace. All their hopes were dashed once they saw two people standing in front of the main palace.

The worst obstacle is ready. Leroy and Ophelia are ready to lock Ellaine back in.
