Declaration Of Love
As usual, Hans visited Elsa's room at night where everyone had already rested. And this time he was determined to express his feelings to Elsa, and he was sure this would work. Her hand knocked on the white door and slowly opened, "Hans, come in." Hans walked into Elsa's room, behind the vest he was wearing he kept a red rose, Elsa wanted to walk to the cupboard but Hans stopped her by holding her hand. "Elsa, all this time my life has only been filled with emptiness and solitude. I'm like walking in a very dark and lonely hallway, and you are the light that helps me to get out of the hallway of silence. Elsa, I know maybe this will be very crazy but I really love you" Hans's feelings were a little crushed when he saw Elsa who was only silent and looked doubtful, "Elsa, I know you don't feel the same feelings as me, I know you can't possibly feel love for me because I've been condescending—"
Her words stopped when a hand closed her mouth, the girl approached her body and looked at him with her beautiful gaze. "Finally you said about this, I've always been waiting for it." All his disappointment disappeared and he felt a warm embrace from the girl he loved so much. Hans cupped his lover's face and put his lips to hers with love, the world at that time felt very happy because finally the two of them could express their feelings. "Do you really feel the same way, Elsa?"
"Of course, honey. Maybe you've disappointed me before, but you've made up for everything by making me fall in love with you" Hans was very happy to hear the words of his lover, all this time Hans had to harbor feelings for many women because he was afraid that everything would fail miserably, but this time he finally found his true love. "Take this" Hans handed out a red rose and a small box that had a ribbon on it, "A ring ?! You're not going to propose to me right now, are you ?!"
"You think a ring only means proposing someone, I am giving this for a gift. I won't be in a hurry, I don't even know your family" Hans sat on the bed and pulled Elsa into his lap, they both stared at each other in their romantic moments."Did you buy the ring recently or used it from your ex?" Hans laughed and pulled Elsa closer to himself, his head starting to rub against Elsa's chest but Elsa prevented him. "You can't do that, we're not married yet !!" Hans teased him even more by rubbing his head against Elsa's chest harder and finally Elsa stood up and glared at Hans. "I never thought that you are a prince who thirsts for lust!"
"I've seen your naked body before we got married, right?" Hans laughed and suddenly he felt something very hard slap his cheek, he opened his eyes and found his lover who was crying. "Elsa, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—"
"Please don't touch me !!" Hans felt guilty because he reminded Elsa again about the incident that night, he only meant to joke but it offended Elsa. "Elsa, I'm sorry. I just intended to joke, I didn't intend to offend you". Hans hugged his girlfriend who was trying to hold back tears, her cheeks wet and glistening. "You don't need to apologize, Hans. But please don't remind me of that incident." Hans nodded in response, his lover's head resting on his chest lovingly. Hans saw his lover who was yawning and knew she was very sleepy, Hans had deliberately come to him at late so no one would see him. "Looks like you are very sleepy. Go to sleep, I'll be back" Hans moved away and a hand prevented him, he saw his lover who took him to bed. "You're not going to ask me to do things of sorts, are you?"
"Please clear your mind, I just want you to take care of me until I fall asleep. Then you can go when I'm asleep" Elsa tucked herself into the blanket and closed her eyes with a smile that never faded on her face, she was so happy because finally she and the prince mutually acknowledge their feelings for each other. Indeed she is only a maid, but she prays that she and the prince can unite even though they are not nobles. Maybe someone would think that she only attracted the prince's attention for treasure, but her love for the prince was very sincere. 'If only I were the Princess, I would choose Prince Hans to be my husband'
The days have passed by the princes and servants with their love, they think that in the future nothing can separate them. The prince was grateful to be with the woman he loved so much even though she was only a maid, every day decorated with laughter and love for them both. "Elsa, hurry up and prepare a drink for them, And I will prepare the food." Elsa nodded and took several glasses and put them on the tray, she poured hot tea into each glass carefully. Another servant said that there would be guests from other kingdoms visiting their place, therefore all servants were assigned to serve guests. Elsa sighed as she was about to walk towards the royal family who was sitting in the living room chatting with the king and queen, Elsa walked over and put the tray on the table. "Please drink"
"Thank you very much, Elsa. Introduce them from the neighboring kingdom." Elsa bowed respectfully to the royal family, and it was seen that they also replied with a polite smile. "And this is Princess Alexandra, she will be an arranged marriage with Prince Hans." The smile that flashed on Elsa's face suddenly disappeared, and so did her bright feeling suddenly become cloudy. "Elsa, please call Prince Hans to come here." Elsa nodded and forced a smile, her hope of being with Hans had now been swallowed up by the storm inside her. She forgot so much that she was just a maid, while Hans was a prince. His fingers knocked on the door, tears of disappointment flowed in vain. "Please come in." The voice let Elsa in and she walked in resignation, the love in her body having disappeared like dust splashed with rain. "Elsa, you came too"
A hug offered by the prince for the woman he loved, she cried silently because she couldn't say anything about this. The prince stared at the helper who was lackluster and teary-eyed, the prince already knew something was bad. "Tell me what happened, Elsa. Quick say it right now"
"Prince, maybe our love story only ends here. Sorry if I ever make you feel disappointed or anything else, I will never forget you" Hans looked surprised because Elsa, who had been apologizing for a while, her tears streamed and made her eyes red. "What do you mean, Elsa?"
"Prince, you have to get out. There are people waiting for you" Elsa ran out of the room and left the prince who was still confused, Hans obeyed the servant's words and walked into the living room. Hans saw a lot of people and his mother looked at him with a smile. "Hans, come here. They are kings and queens of Germany, and this is their daughter" Hans saluted and sat beside his mother, Hans was still confused about the guests and what his lover said. "Hans, she is Princess Alexandra from Germany. We have decided to marry you to Princess Alexandra" Hans immediately stood up and looked at his mother sharply, now he understood why his lover said that. "Mother, I don't even know her at all. And what's worse, you decide this without telling me first !!"
"I decide this !!" Hans hissed annoyed that again it was his father who was making all this trouble, his hands clenched tightly with a sharp gaze towards his father. "Whatever father decide I will never agree to !! I will not marry any woman except with Elsa !!" The German king approached Hans with a sharp gaze, "Prince Hans !! You have spoken disrespectfully to the royal guest !!"
"What's so special about that maid, Hans ?! Princess Alexandra is so much better than him !!" Hans smiled sarcastically at his father, from childhood it was always his father who destroyed all his dreams. Hans had felt the difference in affection between himself and his brother since he was little, his father always told his siblings to hate his own siblings. "Elsa is a thousand times more perfect than any princess !!"
"How dare you !! Elsa, come here !!" Elsa, who had been looking from behind the stairs walking helplessly with her head bowed, the King stared at her and made her even more frightened. "Ahhhh" Elsa's body was thrown to the floor when a hand violently slapped her cheek, her cheek hurt, especially the many maids who saw the incident. "You're still lucky my wife still allows you to work here, and now you're trying to make Hans fall in love so that Hans makes you a Princess and you will be rich !!" Elsa could only cry silently, this time her pride had been trampled on by the proud King. "Go to your room and never show your face again !!"
After all the guests from Germany left, of course Hans had to accept the babble of his father. Hans had always been immune to his father's words, and Hans never paid attention to his father's words. Hans's father and mother were in the living room with Hans, of course to scold Hans for the incident. Hans turned to the woman carrying the suitcase approaching them, all of them staring at the woman curiously. "Elsa, Where are you going?" Queen asked while approaching Elsa who was still seen holding back her tears, everyone felt sorry for Elsa except for the proud King. Elsa repeatedly saw the King but he looked scared, indeed what Elsa is always afraid of is the King. "I will go, I am very grateful to all of you for allowing me to work here. And maybe if I leave here, then your traditions will be maintained" Only one person who looked very disappointed at that time, namely the Queen Magdahlia. Queen immediately cried and hugged Elsa tightly, the queen really loved Elsa and already thought of her as her own daughter. "Please don't go, Elsa. I already consider you as my daughter, I don't want you to go"
"I'm not leaving. But I need to talk to Prince Hans for a while, privately."
