He walked her through the walls of the Palace. Two maids walked to Prince Lorcan.
"Welcome, Your Highness, welcome My Lady." They both bowed and greeted in chorus.
"Get her dressed and take her to the Chamber." Lorcan ordered then he left.
"Where was he going? And get me dressed for what? Was there another Ceremony?." She asked herself.
"This way My Lady." They took her to The Chamber and Bathed her. At first, she felt uncomfortable cause the only person that saw her nakedness was Xenia and no one else but now she had to let other maids bathe her cause it was Prince Lorcan's order.
She wore a white Lingerie gown and sat in front of the Mirror while the maids combed her hair and applied scented oil to her body.
"Why applying that on me?." She asked calmly. Yes, she was never an authoritative Princess. She was nice to everyone around her no matter what they were. Her brothers always complained about the way she was too friendly to the Maids and Guards.
Yes, she was a Princess and needed to act like one But what could she do? It was her nature.
"It's your Wedding night My Lady." A maid answered.
"And this Oil is one His Majesty's likes." Another answered.
"What did they mean by wedding night? Was he going to have me tonight??." She thought.
"He can't have me tonight, can't let him have me. Isn't it too early?"
"I've gotta do something to stop him from coming close." She said to herself. Then she looked into the Mirror to see Lorcan standing behind her.
Her eyes widened. "Oh my goodness what was he doing here? And why now?." She said to herself.
"You're here Your Highness." She sat still.
"Yes." He walked to the bed and lay down but his eyes were still on her.
"Was he waiting for me to come over? Oh no..I'm not ready for this."
She waited for this day but she wasn't happy. This man was desirable, he was what she wished for. He's so god damn Beautiful but still, she wasn't free with him to let him see her nakedness.
He was her husband. That she knew. She needed to accept the fact that she was now married to him.
He was calm. She never expected him to be that way. She imagined him to be Rude and so evil and Ugly but he was the opposite.
"Were the rumors ever true?." She asked herself.
She began to argue with her mind. He should be red-eyed, have sharp claws with horns, and black big wings. She had read about those in her Fantasy books. She felt she should be happy he was the opposite. She should be thankful he wasn't as she had imagined.
"Ain't you tired?." He asked now resting his head on the pillow and his hand on his head. He saw that she was doing something but wondered what it was.
She was applying a scented oil to her legs. This made Lorcan wonder.
"I asked the Maids to get you ready tonight. Why are you doing it yourself?."
She quickly hid the oil in her underwear. Then she turned to him.
"Mm..yes, yes they did. I only want to apply more oil. My skin looks dry Your Highness." She lied.
" It's getting late. You must be tired come to bed."
"Of course." She walked to the bed and lay on the other side.
She was afraid he might touch her any second from now. She prayed in her mind hoping he wouldn't be rough on her tonight.
She found it hard to sleep. She noticed the silence in the room. Everything was just new to her. She had insomnia (inability to sleep).
This wasn't her home and it was the first time she'd been here so she guessed it was normal. Or was it??
Was it that she was scared if she slept Lorcan might do something to her? Or probably eat her up like that beast in the books she read.
After a while, she peeked to see if Lorcan was asleep. He immediately closed his eyes to watch what she'd do.
She slowly took out pillows that leaned on the headboard slat. There were four pillows there so she placed them in the middle making a line as if dividing the bed.
When she was satisfied with the arrangements she laid back.
Lorcan wasn't asleep he just lay studying her. "Was she asleep already?" He thought.
He peeked and her eyes were closed. He then lifted her and laid her in the middle of the bed with fear that she might fall.
Just then a little bottle of oil came out of her wear. It was now on the bed. It smelled so Awful. He wondered what it was so he took it in his hands and perceived it.
He knew that wasn't the body oil he asked the maid to apply on her. So what was it?.
He then read the name which was on the bottle "bad Smell scented oil."
He wondered why she'd apply it on her skin. Though he saw that she tried to hide it earlier on.
He then remembered what had happened earlier. Now it made sense to him why she divided the bed.
