The Queen's words brought everyone around to a certain realization. It's true, Carlos will marry Elaine won't he?
The unmarried ladies were brought to a certain jealousy, why is it that Elaine gets the best?The mayor's son have been after her and now she has a prince at her feet. Why does she have all the important men following her around?Carlos paid no mind to the eyes that followed him as he left. He knew Elaine won't go back home neither did she leave in the direction of the library. He remembered Carol's words of her love to go to the lake when sad and so, he went directly to the lake.When he got there, he saw her squatting with her gaze locked on the lake, he need no one to tell him that she wasn't really looking at the lake. He gently approached her so as not to startle her.He paused, watching her before heaving a deep sigh, "I know I will find you here" he saw her flinch and knew he has her attention now, "Elaine" he paused, "I'm sorry. I know I shouldn'tCarlos picked up her hands in his, "I wanted to gain your forgiveness and after that I will," he stood up and pulled her up with him before going down on his knees whilst still holding her hands, their eyes locked, "tell you how much I really, really love you and how I can't live without you. I might be a prince already but I want to be your prince charming. To look you in the eyes and ask the one question I never thought I would ask a woman in my life. The ability to make you mine forever and to rule by my side as my queen. Elaine, I know this is not a better setting and I don't have one of the important things with me at the moment but they said it's what that it's in the heart that counts.To my people, a prince never kneels for a woman, talk more of a crowned prince" he licked his lips nervously, "but to me, you are worth more than a royal pride. I know you deserve to be asked this question in my palace with dignitaries, prestigious families and socialites surrendering us, bu
Tobias decided to suck up to the royal family and so he invited everyone to his home to be a better host to the king and queen and also to the prince who they had no idea was among them all these while and the young princess."You guys go ahead, I have a place to be first" Carlos said."Alright then, we will be waiting for you" William said as he turned with his wife to leave with the mayor and his family.Angel clung on to him and he knew no amount of what he said will make her follow their parents, so he let her be."Where are you going?" Elaine asked."To see Lucy and Ben."Sh made an 'oh' sound as he picked his sister up and they left.On getting to Ben's home, they saw Lucy sitting out in the verandah, she was surprised to see them and immediately stood up, "Tom, what happened? Hilary was here looking for you. He said the Mayor asked him to come call you and that there are people in the square who came with big cars and wants to see you" she explai
The next day, the townspeople gathered as their prestigious guests prepared to leave but this time with Tom who has now been known as Carlos the prince and Elaine, who is his fiancée as well as Amelia, her mother who couldn't stop smiling, even though her cheeks burned her.Everyone somehow found out from Angel that the day itself, was Carlo's birthday and a joyful birthday song was sang for him by all. As they got ready to leave, everyone said goodbye but not without telling them to visit again.Because of the cars they used and the wheels being handled by professional drivers, they arrived in Countryside by nightfall where they passed the night in a hotel. Their journey continued the next day and in two days time, they were back to their humble home. Carlos's home!Elaine and Amelia were mesmerized at the sight that befell them. They had always thought the mayor's house was the biggest they can see but the house before them seems to correspond with the whole of Folk
The wedding was a success. A week before the wedding, it was discovered that Elaine was pregnant. She was one month gone already. It all joined with the celebration for the Royal family.Carlos lived up to his promise, he provided transportation for all in Folk town who wanted to attend the wedding.Jasper on the other end swallowed his pride and attended, he had never been to a royal wedding before and he was not going to miss his only chance. Elaine and Carlos didn't even notice him or they pretended not to. There are things Carlos is way bigger than.After the wedding, Carlos gave Elaine her dream, a full grown garden with different types of flowers and a gardener to look after it for her. Elaine couldn't be happier and he never failed to gift her different types of wine almost every day. He didn't forget that she loves wine, but too bad she couldn’t take them because of her pregnancy so she just have a servant store them in the wine cellar for her, she will taste every
"I wonder what Tricia will do when she learns of who you are" laughed a shiny blonde guy who was sitting in the passenger's seat of a Range Rover in the middle of the night."Oh I'm sure she will come crawling back on her feet saying that she is sorry and that she didn't mean to look down on me" replied a black haired guy, he has a chiseled jaw, a perfect nose and beautiful blue eyes, his lips were thin and sexy, giving any lady who met him the urge to kiss him. He was sitting in the driver's seat of the Range Rover, smiling handsomely.The blonde with light gray eyes and baby face which made him kind of cute laughed again before asking "but really Carlos, why do you like hiding your identity from women?"The handsome man who was called Carlos smiled "any woman that wants to get into my heart have to first love me when I'm a nobody because my identity will always be my secret" he looked at his very good friend and flashed him a smile "do you think I will ever find a woman l
Folktown, a small but forgotten town with not less then four hundred population, the residents are actually the reason it was forgotten in the outside world. They rear animals, they plant crops, they plant trees, they have builders, they have a school, they have a very big church, they have a clinic, they have a library that holds all history, they have traders and so they have everything life could offer but little money, not that they care since one is ready to accept a basket of vegetables or a livestock, or four stacks of hay, or a portion of farmland or as little money as possible as payment when they work for you.Having all life could offer, they have no reason to go to the outside world except for the clinic who gets their resources from outside town and a few farmers who has customers that buys their hays in a town not bigger than theirs called Countryside, which is about four days with their rickety old trucks which is all they could find and be able to buy. Four days j
As the day came to an end, Elaine closed the library and prepared to go to the diner where she works at night. She passed a lot of people on her way and greeted every single one of them. She finally got to the diner "good evening Mrs. Parker" she greeted as she dropped her bag on the counter."Good evening Elaine, how are you today?" Asked a black haired woman, who walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray filled with foods "mind help me serving this?"Elaine nodded "of course, where is it going to?""Oh, to Mrs Tucker and her family.""Mrs. Tucker is here?""You didn't see her on your way in?""I didn't look around. I will take these to her table then" she said and walked off with the tray."Elaine!" A beautiful blonde woman called to her when she saw her. She waved when Elaine looked at her and she walked over."Good evening Mrs. Tucker, Mr. Tucker, Van and Dan" she nodded to them before serving the dishes."How are you my dear?" Mrs. Tucker asked
"I need to return back to my family. You should go home too Elaine, he will be okay, Dr. Paige said so himself, you need the rest" James Tucker said to her."Don't worry Mr. Tucker, I'm fine here" Elaine smiled."Well, if you say so. I can't force you to leave can I?" He chuckled, he looked through the glass at the man lying in the bed breathing slowly but steadily "where did he come from? I have not seen him around here before."Elaine stood up from her chair and looked at the man too "maybe he came from Countryside?""I don't think so. Look at all his wounds, all the scratches on his body, those things can only be done by tree branches. Whoever he is, I think he came running from the woods. Look at that ghastly hole in his tummy, I wonder what did that. It's great Dr. Paige said he can treat him, if not, he has to go to Countryside to receive the best treatment, that's if he could survive till he gets there."Elaine stared at the man and sighed "I hope it doesn't co
