Capítulo 22: Chapter 22 : That thing you call a son..

Nathan cupped Ella's hand in his and gently stroked it with his thumb. "Take a deep breath Ella, no one is looking at you."

"Yes they are." Ella responded.

Those hundreds of eyes glancing at her were enough to make her head hurt.

That morning Ella had tried to convince the prince that she didn't want to attend the ceremony anymore, especially after a butler had mentioned that Nathan would have to sit up front with his lady, meaning Ella, on his side.

"You're going to be queen one day," Nathan whispered, his voice gentle and soothing. "You'll have to be strong and get used to the attention alright?"

Ella folded her hand into a small fist underneath Nathan's hand and nodded. "Okay.." she responded meekly.

Prince Adam who was seated on the other side creased his brows when he heard Ella's voice. He was sure he'd heard that voice before, but how could that be? This woman was obviously from Meria, and he'd never been there so how could her voice sound so familiar, so beautiful.
