Thinking that it would be just a temporary feeling, the Prince went back to the great hall with a blank look. His demonic characteristics will probably be shown to his wife once she handles him well. The servants had a questioning look because it was their first time to see him acting like that. The Princess finally went back there and puffed her cheeks, tugging his arm.
"You left me alone." She said, sulking a little. He started to feel bad because he didn't really mean to leave her alone in the chamber. He just didn't want to scare her.
"Can we talk for a while?" He was so serious with his tone. She flinched but smiled afterwards. They left the great hall for a while and when they arrived back to their chamber, she was surprised that he suddenly kissed her lips.
"Eh? I thought you're mad at me." She mumbled after the kiss. He shook his head and hugged her tight.
"I'm not mad. I'm just restraining myself to pounce on you. It is our honeymoon week already but it looks like you're not in the mood for it." She blushed furiously about it. She cupped his cheeks and left quick pecks on his lips.
"I'm sorry, love. I'm still adjusting. You know that everything around here is new to me. I'm not even comfortable with this dress. It is suffocating me." She said, touching her clothed neck.
She is wearing a long black turtleneck dress and it is a little tight on her. He laughed softly and pinched her cheeks before undoing the buttons of her dress. She cleared her throat and watched his hands. Somehow, she was feeling shy with it but he let her do what he wanted. He slipped the dress off her body and threw it on the couch. She closed her eyes when he started kissing her again. He traced her neck with his finger, sending shivers to her spine. She smiled softly and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"You can have me." She whispered and he nodded. Her permission always matters. Despite being a demon, he feels responsible for taking her to the underworld. He doesn't want to lose her trust in him, so he is doing the right thing.
She moved and turned to face him, resting her head on his bare chest. She knows that he is not asleep, so she shifted her body and wrapped her arms around his torso. He opened his eyes and looked at her. They finished making love a while ago and he didn't want to tire her out. She brushed his hair gently and placed a kiss on his forehead.
"I want to visit them soon." She said softly and he reached for her cheeks to caress it. He knows what she is thinking.
"Are you worried about your foster parents?" He asked and she nodded. Regardless of the wrong things they did to her, she is still worried about them.
"I'm also worried about our friends. Should I tell them about our case?" He shook his head. Humans from modern-day society are not as understanding as her.
"You are not a human anymore, Fuyu. Not everyone will be able to understand us." Her face saddened but she nodded. There are some circumstances that only them can understand and accept.
"I'm sorry if you have to go through with this." He said, kissing her lips softly. She shook her head and smiled. Their love grew in the most unexpected time and moment.
"I understand. I just want them to feel assured that I'm safe. I know that there are times that they will get worried about me and I appreciate it. They want me to be in good hands." He reached for her hand and kissed the back of it.
"Are you safe and in good hands?" He asked and she chuckled softly, nodding her head many times. She stared at him lovingly and she just kept on chuckling while he's showering her arm with little pecks.
Going back to the human world, Gia is trying on some wedding gowns but her mind is flying to somewhere else. The staff finished zipping the gown up and she just went back to reality when she heard the door opening. She smiled when she saw that it was her fiancé. She turned around and showed it to him.
"What do you think?" She asked and he walked around her to examine everything. It is a white sleeveless wedding ball gown.
"It looks perfect on you. Do you like this one?" He asked and she nodded. He watched her let out a light sigh.
"I know you miss her. She just called last week. Let them enjoy their vacation." He placed his hands on her shoulders and smiled softly.
"I know. I just want her to be with me during our wedding preparations. She is the closest to me. You know, those things like picking wedding gowns, buying accessories and shoes, having body massages and beauty rest." She bit her lips and tried her best not to cry.
"She will be back before our wedding. She promised, right?" She nodded and he hugged her tight. He kissed her forehead and when she looked up at him, he left a quick peck on her lips.
"They will attend our wedding, right?" She asked and he nodded many times, assuring her that the younger one will keep her promise.
