Because of the unfair shortness of chapter 22, here are two new chapters before I stop uploading until it's finished.

Chapter 23: The Meaning of the Word

Grant looks at the sphere that the Enchantress had given her. Ever since he's been trying to figure out how it would work. He didn't question her motives of why she wanted him to face Methis. Maybe it was so she could punish him in her own way, just like how she did to the castle years ago.

He sits on his bed staring at the sphere. Minutes later there was a knock on his door. He looked over to his door then hid the sphere under his pillow. "Who is it?"

"Grant, it's me. Open up!"

The prince bites his tongue. Knowing that the voice belongs to Martha, he reluctantly let her in. "Is there any thing you need, Martha?"

She smiles. "Well Grant, I want to know if you want to sit with me outside in the garden."

Grant resists to let an annoying sigh out. "Thanks but no thanks, I'm busy today."

Martha raises an eye brow. "Oh?" Folding her arms, she gives him a look. "And just what are you busy with to the point you have no time to share with me, hm?"

Grant stands up. He bites the inside of his cheek. He can feel his anger for the Princess right in front of him rise. He informs her as he walks past her. "I'm staying all day in the Library to see If I can find anywhere I forgot to look for Elise."

Martha grits her teeth at the name. She hates Elise for keeping Grant's thoughts on her. "He should have forgotten her by now!" "Grant. Give up the search, you're never going to find her! She's long gone. Like I said before I'll be surprised if she isn't dead yet."

Grant stops. It is taking every fiber of his being to keep from turning around and giving the princess the slap she deserved. She was the cause of it and she dare to say that to him. He takes a deep breath the looks over his shoulder at her. "Martha. ... Let me tell you something. ... She isn't dead!" He looks forward. "I know she isn't dead. ... Love works that way. ... But you don't even know the meaning of the word to even understand what it does to and for people."

With that, he heads to the Library, leaving the spoiled princess behind in shock. Once he was out of her sight, her face turns red with rage. She grabs the closes object she could find lifts it over her shoulder and smashes it against the wall. "NO! WHY CAN'T HE JUST FORGET HER!" She bites her thumb nail as tears start to form in her eyes. "There must be away to make him forget her and pay attention to me!" She stood there thinking of a way. Her eyes wide when she remembers Methis. "Yeah! I'll just go and demand him to put a spell on Grant. He'll fall in love with me and forget all about Elise!" She smiles unpleasantly as she then rushes to her room to collect her cloak, then quickly leave the castle.

AN:... I think I made Elise a Mary sue with the sequel. :( sorry.
