The Princess Licorice
Chapter 03

"Would you come here, prince? your betrothal has been decided by the king." it hurts to see a loved one getting engaged to another woman. Christopher looked at his girl with a gentle gaze, in fact he could not leave the person he loved so much, he held both hands of his girl, so tightly, he was reluctant to let go.

Yes Christopher met the girl he loved the night before their departure to the kingdom of Zelda to discuss their arranged marriage.

"No Isabelle.I don't love that woman, all I love is you, and my heart is yours, I don't want to give it to another woman" she said, Christopher had no power to hold back his tears, now they were in sadness, unable to unite because of the circumstances, even it was very impossible to be together.

Isabelle was silent, she could not do anything, her love would not lead to marriage, this love would be lost, even her position was not in Isabelle's favor. He will be wasted and forgotten, because everything has been taken over by a girl named Licorice. It felt tight and sore, the wound was so deep that it would be difficult to recover.

"I know the prince ..I know, but we can't do anything about this, we can't be with the prince, even if we love each other."Isabelle was no longer strong, her hopes had fallen, like her tears and everything had disappeared from her.

"I'll try Isabelle for our love.If you still don't approve of my relationship with you, I'm going to run you out of the kingdom, we're going to live together forever, with no law,without any compulsion and without any pain, we'll both live a quiet life Isabelle, and build our little family." Christopher would do anything for the person he loved, anyhow.

"Can't be so prince.this is an order from the king directly, we can't refute it." Isabella could not oppose the king, for it was her absolute decision.

"No Isabelle I will stay with you, even if I marry that woman later, I will not turn away from you.I will never care about her, even if she becomes my wife."christopher's determination was unanimous, she would not care about her status which would later become her husband.

"But the prince

"Stttt..."Directed Christopher to touch Isabelle's beautiful lips.

"Have not said anything else Isabelle, that's enough, I don't want you to say sad things anymore, remember I'll be with you, we'll always be together, I love you."Isabelle smiled despite her tight heart, but she was happy that since prince Christopher still had strong feelings for her, she would not worry if prince Christopher would love the woman.

Christopher took Isabelle in his arms, he really couldn't lose his girl, he would do anything even if he had to fight the king. Isabelle tightened her embrace, there was a beautiful engraved smile on her lips.

"I won't stay silent, anyone will suffer if I take what should be mine, I don't care about the title you have a daughter, I will win." his heart's unacceptance made him want to see the pain of the woman who would later become the wife of his prince.

Christopher let go of his embrace, now that his hand had touched Isabelle's lips, then brought her closer to Isabelle, to make their bodies close together, Christopher touched Isabelle's waist, without further ado he kissed Isabelle's soft lips, Isabelle did not reject him, even accepted him with pleasure, finally she became the first woman, who enjoyed the kiss of the prince and the longing of every woman.

Tired by the breeze of the night, the atmosphere in the garden behind the palace was very quiet, making both of them carried away by the atmosphere of enjoying the strains of the night beast, with the moonlight shining, making both of them not want to finish quickly. Isabelle begins to reciprocate, they give each other a taste in each page, a love that cannot be united makes them not want to take off.

From a distance, someone noticed the two, his eyes widened perfectly to see the two interlocked, there was a sense of annoyance when the two did that embarrassing thing in front of him. Since then he had been paying attention to their debate until the end, he had heard clearly the conversation the two of them had.

He does love to be alone in the back garden of the kingdom, to enjoy a beautiful night, Mikhail is very fond of silence, and every night he is always here to just calm his mind that is too complicated.

"Based on a jerk.". "his curse then went to leave those who were drunk with romance.

Christopher released his kisses, their breaths hunted, there were beautiful smiles emanating clearly on their faces, this was a first for them. As if Isabelle was taken to the real beauty, the prince proved that Isabelle was his woman with a long kiss earlier.

"I love you Isabelle, it'll never change." they hugged back, staring at the darkening sky of starlight that spread wide across the night sky.

"I'm also a prince, I love you a lot too."

In the same sky Licorice stared blankly at the sky, a look of face with a deep heart wound, she remained silent on the grass with her seat resting on a medium-sized stone. His emerald eyes continued to look at the night sky, all feeling hollow at this moment.

"What else will happen after this? after everything I've been through, what's going to happen in the future?" she murmured, what does her future look like after marrying prince Christopher, will she be happy? or just getting hurt? two different words of meaning, which makes Licorice afraid to live it.

"Mother I hope you always watch me from up there, I hope your mother always accompanies me." There is a very difficult sense for her to explain at this time, between hate and her decision, she said, he also hated his father's decision.

The night wind brought calmness in silence, the book in his hand twitched following the direction of the wind, the sound of his paper making its own rhythm. What happened to Licorice, even he was not able to express what was in his heart, now he was resigned to all that his father had told him as king.

The king was kind, but there was a vexation of resentment and disappointment that he always looked at when Licorice looked at him, perhaps because of a painful past, which made King Benedict always look at his daughter like that,the stroke was very clearly visible as ink written on a blank sheet, and it must have been very difficult to remove it.

"I leave my father to you my brother, take care of him, lest we lose the beauty of diamonds again, just one diamond is missing, brother I expect the care of the three of you to father."

Time will reveal everything, the truth will be seen when they realize their mistake, tomorrow morning Licorice will be reunited by prince Christopher, she will see her future husband, who will be, he would see what kind of matchmaker he was betrothed to, would he be able to accept it even by force? there will probably be many storms waiting for him, perhaps the world has told him to keep fighting.

"I will definitely accept this with a light heart."
