Chapter 14: Together
Miles sits on the ground, breathing hard. He had his hands on his lap and heaved over. "How did a dog manage to follow me all the way out here?!"
Foy laughs and looks to the Gray haired man. "I don't know but It sure was funny."
Vivian giggles and looks to the two. "Maybe you shouldn't have shouted Mad dog."
Miles glares at the two. "It ... Isn't ... Funny"
The red-headed woman laughs. "I completely understand. I have been chased by wolves now and then."
Foy falls over on the ground laughing earning a dark glare from Miles.
Sylvia, Nole, and Lewis walks over to the trio. Lewis looks to the two that are laughing and the one that giving them both glares. "What are you two laughing about?"
Foy smirks then glances to Miles.
Sylvia shakes her head. "Alright, that's enough you two."
Vivian giggles as she calms down. Nole looks around. "Where are the kids?"
After Nole had said that they all heard a loud squeal and laughter. Following the noise of joy they found the kid playing with Sultan.
Elise and Grant walks up behind the group. The raven haired girl smile. "Hey guys."
The six adults turns and looks towards her. She smiles and puts her hand on the prince's shoulder. "Grant wanted to meet you all."
Grant smiles. "Hi, nice to meet you all."
Nole blinks. "Wait, so this is Grant?
The prince nods. "Yeah that's right."
Lewis smirks. "I didn't know royalty would be showing up."
Elise Introduce them all to her fiancé, one by one. Grant gives a greeting nod or either shakes their hands. She holds his hand and looks to the Queen. "And Queen Sylvia is also here."
The prince looks to the older woman wide eyes. "Queen Sylvia? This is where you've been for ten years?!"
Sylvia nods. "It has." Before she could to explain they all heard a noise come from the mansion. Herve was coming over, with dinner.
Elise quietly gasped and she grabs Grants arm and looks over to the dog. "Sultan, Come on!" The dog looks up to Elise and follows as she pulls Grant away from the group. The three got away far enough that they couldn't be seen but close to see Herve drops the steaming Cauldron and bowls and leaves the group.
Grant gently takes a hold of Elise's shoulders. "The stooge?" She looks at him and nods. When Methis' lackey was out of sight the couple and dog rejoins the group.
The group had sat down and ate their dinner. Elise shared her food with Grant. When they had finished eating, Elise and Grant sits together, her head on his shoulder. She looks to him. "Grant? Will you stay with me tonight?"
Grant holds Elise and kisses her head. "Of corse." Elise smiles. Grant rubs her shoulders. "It'll nice to get away from Martha for once."
Elise looks at him. "She's still at the castles?"
Grant closes his eye and sighs. "Yes. Every night since you were gone she's been acting stranger then usual." He looks to her but shrinks back in surprised when he found her with her arms folded and giving him an angry pout. "Elise, What's wrong?"
She grits her teeth angry and glances away. "I knew it."
He gently grabs her shoulders. "You knew what?"
She glares at him. "Grant. I want you to think about my situation then think about what you just said."
He blinks then thinks. "..." Elise looks at him as he was still thinking. Grant's eyes wide then he looks at Elise. "Are you saying Martha has something behind this?!"
She nods. "Sylvia said she was here on the same night Methis was at the castle. She must have followed him here."
Grant sighs annoyingly. "She has gone to far this time. I'll tell Adam then. I'm sure she'll be kicked out of the kingdom."
Elise looks to him. "Don't let him banish her just yet. I don't want any thing to happen to the others because Martha got upset."
Grant nods. "Understood. She isn't the type to just control her anger, It's like she needs to win."
Elise sighs and lays her head on his shoulder. "Lets just for get about her for now."
Grant smiles and holds her. "I couldn't agree with you more."
