A/N: hey guys, sorry for the wait.
I had a writer's block and didn't know how to move with the story, hope this chapter adds the drama I want for the story.
P. S - I had changed the characters and their appearance, and put some pictures and gifs, so if you want to check it out.

Rain and love
Come with full force,
Affect everything
In the way,
And leave, taking
Everything with you.

She was so beautiful...
Her smile radiated happiness and all the good in this cruel world.
But like the star she was,
She must shine even brighter
She will become dull and die
It was unexpected,
And came at exactly at the times things began to become right again.
Nothing lasts forever no matter how beautiful and divine it is.
So was the matter with her.
———————◀◁———————
Elinor and Louis met at their secret place, one day a week, so their parents and kingdoms won't get suspicious and even worse, get another reason for the war.
But of course, no secret could be kept a secret forever as they say.
So a day at a full moon night, they met again.
Only little they knew that someone tailed after them.
"Elinor," says Louis "the situation is very bad, at the moment I'm not sure someone will win at all, this war...
It will kill all of us if we won't stop it."
"I... I know this, but I can't do anything! They don't listen to me, no matter what I say! "
"Then try harder! You are the oldest daughter, they will listen to you. "
Elinor's expression darkened like the sun went hiding behind the clouds.
"Please, you're the only one I trust with this matter, try some more, we can't lose hope! "
"I-I trie-ed"
"And? "
"I'm getting married"
Thunder loomed over them, the sky darkened and so the expressions on their faces.
"What?! They can't do this! To who?! "
"Wel-l, to Arion, my parents want to straighten our position in the court, and he is the perfect candidate for it. "
"But they won't do it without your permission, right? "
"I- I already gave permission "
"What?!"
"As you said, I needed to do something! I couldn't just sit here and watch! "
"I didn't mean anything like this! "
"I don't have another choice! "
They both panted hard from the yelling, you could see their white breathes because of the cold.
Elinor busted in tears, saying 'I'm sorry' over and over again.
Louis came and hugged her to his chest.
"We'll come up with something, don't worry love"
"B-but I -I can—"
"Shush, we'll figure it out "
"No-o it's not it, I need to tell you about m—"
"Shush, I know already. "
"About m—"
"Yes, I knew since the begging, I would still love you no matter what"
"Me too, I love you, Louis"
"Yeah, I love you too E—"
*rustle * "shit, I tripped "
They both turned fast, alerted by the new unwelcomed presence.
"Who's this?! Show yourself!"
"Sheesh, god calm down"
"Tim?! "
"Yeah princess, I see you're doing well"
"What are you doing here?! "
"I could ask the same, it isn't proper for a princess like you to be in this place, late at night and with a man at that"
"You followed me, I get it, who ordered this? "
"No, dear princess, I'm not done. Like I was saying, with a man, but not some simple man, but the royal Prince of the opposing country "
"Tim, please don't tell them about it! "
"Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
And to think you're marrying next week, what a poor man Lord Arion is, truly I pity him "
"Tim you don't understand! I'm trying to stop this war! "
"And how exactly? All you do is sitting in your tower and crying about your life"
"I'm not! I'm not her—"
Tim interrupted her, "I have my father and brothers fighting out there for our country, for you! But you don't even appreciate it! Why can't you be like your twin sister Edalene?! "
"Please let me expla—"
"No! You're not a true princess! I will tell about this to princess Edalene, then she will be the crown princess, you don't deserve this! "
With this being said, he turned around and ran back to the palace.
"What are we going to do? "
"Nothing, nothing at all"
"But they will discover us, you will be punished "
"I know, but my people will sort this out, he won't tell a thing, don't you know me? "
"Yeah it's because I know you I'm so calm"
"Hmm is that so? "
"Yes, now let's talk about what we will do about this marriage of yours"
"We don't have to "
"You know that I love you, so please don't make it complicated "
"I know, it's just I have an uneasy feeling about it"
"Hmm"
"Hey, I trust my gut feeling! "
"Yeah, I trust you too"
"Good"
"So about the marriage—"
"Oh god! Stop about it, I already planned everything, trust me"
"Fine"
He then opened his arms for a hug, "come here"
She ran to him so fast he nearly lost his footing.
"Easy there "
She giggled cutely, "sorry"
They sat on the grass under the tree, not caring about the wetness left by the rain and looked at the stars they saw in the already cleared sky.
It looked like the calm before the storm, but didn't the storm already pass?
Then why did she have such an icy feeling that something would go wrong?
It couldn't be.....
Right?

She woke up with a gasp.
"Ugh, these dreams again"
She crawled to the end of the bed, set her feet to the cold floor and walked to the kitchen.
'I need a glass of water'
With that thought, she walked quietly, so she doesn't wake up the others.
"When will this shit stop already... Each fucking night, though I don't mind seeing his handsome face and body, if I dream about this hot man why I always wake up when the best part begins?"
She drank her water and sleepily climbed back to bed, with a tired yawn escaping her she wished to meet this man in her dreams again.
