Zenia was still fast asleep when they arrived at the Palace of the Crown Prince. Each servant that greeted them gasped at the sight of the sleeping Crown Princess. Even though her eyes were closed, they could see how beautiful she was. These servants were the ones who seldom come inside the palace, and it was their first time seeing the Crown Princess.
Earlier, they asked the attendants, who helped Zenia prepare, what the Crown Princess looked like. But, the attendants kept mum about it. Nobody confirmed nor deny whether the Crown Princess was an atrociously ugly lady. The gossipy servants finally learned the truth. They understood the reason behind the Crown Prince's reluctance to show his bride to the entire kingdom.
Vaughn went straight to their bedchamber and laid Zenia on the bed. He called for some maidservants to help her change into comfortable nightwear. They did not discuss the sleeping arrangements, but Vaughn hoped to share the bed with his wife.
