~AmazinglyCool~

After a couple of months have pass, Estein was miserable. Not because princesses from other kingdom want to marry him, and certainly not because he didn't want them, he just doesn't have the desire to touch another woman. All of this have been the cause of a certain blackberry princess. Her elegant tone, her amazing smile, and mostly, her genuine smile. She was the prettiest of all; Ella. Estein shake his head; he had decided to leave her alone, for now that is. To not think about her at all. But it wasn't helping. He wanted her. He wanted to touch her, feel her, and most of all, he wants to cuddle with her. Even if it's only for a mere second, he'll take his chance.

What am I doing? The king thought.

"Stop sulking," Luna said. The king look up from his desk, he had be sitting there all morning, and was indeed, deep in thought. Rose, who he hasn't seen almost a year now, stood in his door looking at him. She smirk, half smile, half pity. The king stood up from his desk, not because he was tired of sitting, but he was surprise to see her again. After a sin, lying to him about having his baby, Rose fled the castle along with Justin. About a month ago, she had come back. apologize for her sins. Explains everything to him, and finally the king had forgiven her. They were friends now. Estein couldn't forgive Rose for the things she did to Ella, but who could blame her when it was also him who had torture Ella.

"Rose."

"You don't look good. What happened to my prince charming?"

He smiled at her. She always know what to say, he thought. "Well, he's certainly not doing well. How have you been-" and before he finish, Justin walked into the room with their baby.

"Hey," Justin greeted his king.

"Wow, you guys change," the king said shockingly. He walked over to their little girl. "What's this adorable child's name?" he ask playing with the little girl's hand.

Rose turns to her daughter, "Tell uncle you name, darling."

The little girl look at the king and smile, "Sunshine."

The king smile, "That's a pretty name Sunshine." Estein then look up at the parent then back down at the kid again. "How about Uncle show you around the castle?"

Rose lightens up, "Sure, go ahead." Estien pick up the girl and strode away happily.

After he left, Rose looked at Justin. "Did you see that?" she laughed.

"I'm surprise myself. I've never thought that Estein would like baby that much, not in a million years."

"He changed."

"Indeed," Justin nod at his wife.

"But something feels missing."

"And what is that?"

"I think he miss the princess."

"You mean Ella?"

"Yeah, I think he really loves her, but just don't know what to do at the moment. I wish we can help them," she said thinking to herself. "Ah," she said as an idea came to her mind. "How about we connect those two on Sunshine's birthday party?"

He smiled at her, "You're so smart, no wonder I love you. Come mere," he pulled his wife close to him and gently kiss her. Then he scope her up in bridal style still kissing her, and when his tongue penetrate her lusty mouth, he put her down on the floor while his hand room her body.

Afterward, Rose pull away. "You know, I wouldn't want Estein to see us. I'll be embarrass," and her husband pulled her into a hug.

"I know, but you're too adorable," she chuckle in his chest while he hugged her.

~~~Back at Ella's place~~~

"Ella," the princess turn as someone called her name. It was an old servant of her, Nate.

She jumped from the surprise. Nate on the other hand went his way and haven't seen the princess in 6 month after she gave birth. After Ella gave birth, Nate confessed his dying love to her. Ella loved Nate, but didn't feel the love that he was giving to her. He was a man. A gentleman. A loving man. He was better than Estein. More caring, more gentle, and much more. But he could not replace Estein, and Ella was certain of that.

Sure, what Estein did to her was unforgivable, but Ella couldn't forget him.

It's hard to admit, but she did love him. She loved him to the very core of her heart.

If in another life, Ella had not met Estein at all, she would fall in love with Nate. She would except his love.

Nate left after Ella had told him that they can't be together. Too heart broken, he decided to stay away from her, tried if he could, and forget about the princess.

The servant man ran to her and gave her a big hug. He had missed her and she was too. She hug him back and pat his back. He was taller, bigger, and stronger. She could see the vein in his muscle. He must have been working hard. "How are you," she finally say after a long pause between the two.

He smiled, "Fine." As he pulled back from the hug, he looked at her. "I've worked myself and I'm currently living in this house that I just bought. How are you, miss?"

She raise an eyebrow and smirk. After all this time, he was still formal while talking to her. "I'm not a noble anymore," she said as she smiled. "You don't have to be formal."

"And you haven't change either," he smirk. "You still treating me like a normal person. It makes me warm on the inside."

They talked and talked, and which seemed like hours.

~~~Back At the Castle~~~

After hours of showing Sunshine around, the king was devastated. How could a child have that much energy? he thought. He smiled, was I that naughty when I was little, he could help but think.

He was sitting on his chair, well a king size chair, thinking to himself. His thought were intrigue by the knocking of the door. His servant came to his royal hall.

"Your highness," his royal servant announce.

"What is it?" the king ask curiously.

"The counselor wanted to speak with you. I'm sure you know that they wanted this kingdom to be stable, and as of now, they're not sure if you can handle the kingdom well. I'm sure you know what this is about?"

"Very well said," Estein encounter. "If they wish to talk to me, let them in."

...

The counselors enter the room; there were about 4 of them.

"My servant speaks that you're having problem with the way I rule," the king speaks.

"Your highness, we're just worried about the kingdom. As of now, your people are waiting for a heir."

The king nod at his statement. The counselors looked at the king to yell at them, but instead he just smiled for them to go on.

"Your highness, we don't mean to speak ill of you, but it would be in your favor to choose the next queen."

The king frown. "Your highness, the princess have long g-"

Estein couldn't stand this any longer as he intervene. "Long gone?"

"Yes, your highness. In order for the kingdom to move forward, we need an heir. As also in your favor, your people."

"Favor?" the king said in a harsh tone. How dare they speak ill of Ella. They're mocking him that he can't move from the past, and that upsets him. He knows that he's still in the pass. But insulting him that he needs to do as they say is another things. "I should do the favor to the people by removing you all from the counsel," he threaten them.

The counsels all had a worried on their face. "We beg for your forgiveness, your highness" they all said.

The king sigh, "I'll take all your words into consideration," as he dismiss them.

This was getting more annoying, he thought.

If only things were going his way. If only he could have Ella back. Of course, he wanted her back, but how? He sigh once more.

~~~...~~~

"Looking back, I would tell myself that this present time is a joke," Nate told Ella.

"How so," she ask while laying back on her couch. Nate sit next to her smiling.

"Thinking back, I would never thought you'll be here," he frown.

Ella knew this topic was going to come up. She had fear that someday this would come, and she wasn't going to run away from it.

"Remember when your step mother torture you. She had an ugly heart."

"Hmm," Ella smiled. It had sadden her heart to remember all those time her step mother had lock her up on her room.

"You remind me of a lot of fairytales story," he told her.

She look at her servant confused, "How so?"

"Well," he smile as he look at her. "You reminded me a lot of rapunzel, then snow white, and lastly," he pause to look at her, "Cinderella."

She look at him and stare, the next she was cracking up and laughing. "You're joking," Nate stare at her as Ella notice that he wasn't joking. "You're serious?" He nod at her and smile. "How so?" she question.

"Well..." Nate explains to her all the things that remind him of rapunzel and snow white. "Lastly," he looked at her. "You were the Cinderella that was always locked near the cinder. You had a step mother who torture you and two nasty steps sister. Remember the ball that was held for prince Estein to choose a bride?"

Ella nod, "You were being my fairy godfather," she smiled.

"And that was the night that the previous king had chosen you to be the bride of Estein."

"If it wasn't that night," she pause, "I don't think I'll be here."

Ella looked at the floor and silence swoop the room.

"Did you regret that day?"

Ella shook her head. "To be honest, yes. If I hadn't gone, I would'n't met the arrogant prince and meet his father. To be honest, the previous king was kind. I missed him, Nate." She turns and tears were on her eyes. The thought of Estien dad brought her pain. "If I stayed in the palace, he wouldn't die. If I were stronger, then..."

Nate turns and hug her, "It's not your fault that the previous king pass away. It's not your fault."

"Nate, he was the only one that supported me. During my time as being Est-" his name hurts her and tears were running out of her face. "During my time," she starts again. "He never love me," she told Nate. "I wasn't strong enough Nate. I kept telling myself that this is okay, but it's not. Nate," she cried in his arms. "After all the things he did to me..." she pause to get her breathe. "I love him. How could I be so stupid to fell in love with a... A monster like him. I'm so ashamed of myself."

"Ella-"

"You don't understand. Nate, you don't understand," and she cried into his arms. Nate was at the loss of words. He knew that Ella was suffering, but he hadn't imagine that it'll be this bad. When he sees this man, he's gonna beat the shit out of him. It won't matter this time, he won't be afraid of him. Not now. He was a jerk, and Nate wasn't going to forgive him until he fix his shit.

After hours of talking, Ella was too tired to speak.

~~~A week afterward~~~

Ella stayed in bed. It had been two months were she had been feel drowsy and was always tired. He stomach would her, and she would blame for her lack of food. There was also times where she could craved for sour food and she knew what this had meant. She was in her bathroom with a pregnant test. Her hand shakely uncover the line of the pregnant test. One line would means that she wasn't pregnant, and two would means that she was.

Her hand move slowly as they uncover the tube. She close her eyes shut afraid of what was going on her mind.

No, she thought for a minute. It had only been one time with him. It couldn't happened. NO, it's not possible. She slowly opens her eye and look at the tube. She froze at what she had just seen.

"Hey Ella," Nate called. He knock on the door. "Ella," he sound worried.

Ella fell to the floor of the bathroom. This can't happened, was the only thought on her mind. She look again at the tube on her hand which had a two line mark. How could a one night turns into this. She knew that he didn't pull out, but it was just one time.

"Ella, are you okay," Nate ask again.

"... I'm fine..." she dispose the material and opens the bathroom door.

"Did something happened?" he ask when she was out.

"No," and she walk into the hallway.

Something happened and Nate was going to find out. He looked into the bathroom, there was nothing unusual. Then his eyes went to the garbage can near her sink and saw a dispose of a pregnant test. "Why would this be in here?" he ask out loud. He knew that it was a pregnant test, but how did this get in here. One thing for sure, he would have to ask Ella.

He walked back out and into the kitchen where Ella was occupying herself with the dishes. "Ella, we need to talk," Nate said as he sat down on the chair.

She turns to face him after she had rinse the last plate on the sink. Ein had gone walking with the babysitter, and Ella stay home with Nate. He look at her so serious, and Ella was afraid of them talking. "Ella, I want you to be honest with me."

She nod at him. No matter what question he ask, she wasn't going to back out.

"Are you, perhaps... pregnant?"

Ella shock and could only stare at him. How could he know? Did he discover the tube. "No," she tried her best to not sound scared.

"You're lying," he flatly said. His look never left her, "I saw the pregnant test on your bathroom."

"Nate, I was worried about it, but the test was negative. I'm okay," she lied again.

God, she was lying to again. After leaving the kingdom and after Estein kicking her out, Ella had develope the skill to lie and suppress her feeling.

Nate knew this and wasn't going to further his question. He knew she was lying, but why? He also knew that this also include a certain jerk. Estein. He would have to ask the man.

~~~...~~~

Nate had gone to the palace of the Lotus Flower and decided to talk with the king himself.

"You highness, a peasant wish to speak with you," his servant annouce to him.

"Let him in," Estein knew clearly who this was. Nate.

Nate enters the hall and walked toward the king.

"Greeting your highness," Nate bow at the king.

Something must be up, Estein thought.

"I wish to speak alone," he announce. His servant move quickly and out of the hall. The king look at Nate. "What brought you here?"

"I want to ask you somethings, to confirm one thing."

"What is this thing you wish to ask me?"

"Let me back things up," Nate said as he stare at Estein. "Ella," he stop to look at the king. Bringing her name had brought the king's attention. "It seems that she's feeling ill," he speaks carefully and examine the kings face.

Estein face look shock. "Is she sick?" the king ask curiously.

"Yes, very," Nate said as he walk up to the king. "Perhaps we should get to the main point should we?" Estein stood up.

Something is up, and the king could feel it.

Nate went up to him and suddenly he punch the king in the face sending him down to the ground.

"Bastard," Estien called out. This was not what he had in mind.

"Bastard?" Nate mock him. "Don't call me that when you're the one being one."

"Being one?" Estein was confused.

Seeing the king being stupid, Nate lean down and grab his colar. "Did you force Ella again?"

Estein didn't reply.

"Let me reword my words again. Did you have sex with Ella again?"

Again Estein give a silent stare at Nate.

Being frustrated, he punch the king again. "You bastard," he was about to punch the king again, but decided to stop himself. "She's now pregnant with your child. Be responsible and grow up bastard. Stop being a jerk and push her away. She's hurting inside so much and you're standing here, doing nothing. You..."

Estein eyes widen. Wait, Ella's not feeling well because she's pregnant? How could this be? Was it from that night? It all had make sense.

"I'm telling you to grow up and stop being a jerk ass." Nate stood up from him and walk to the door. "I shouldn't have let Ella went to the ball. If she hadn't went to that stupid ball, then she wouldn't end up misery like this," and then Nate disappear into the door.

Estein thought to himself. Ball?

Estein had thoght for hours on what Nate had told him. Ella was pregnant with his child and the ball that had determine his life. Nate was talking about the ball that Estien's father had put to determine his future wife. That was the day that had started all of this. Thinking back, Estein had an idea.

If he could do it again, he would. And this time, he wasn't going to be a jerk ass. He called the counsel to set up a ball to determine the next queen.

To Be Continueeeeeee...

I know you all are confuse, so I'm just going to clearify somethings. The ball they're talking about is the ball that Ella and Estein first met each other. The next chapter will explain everything.

Thanks for reading my story and again review would be appreciate!
