"I just need rest that's all, I'm fine." She looked away from him but he didn't buy that, he knew something was going on with her.
"I know you're not happy with me."
"I never said so Your Highness." She replied.
"If you're happy with me Kiss me."
She looked up at him surprised cause he has never asked her for this before.
"Yes, do it." He said softly.
"No." She frowned.
"Then you're angry with me." He took her hands in his.
"I promise we will leave here as soon as we gather enough armies. I've made arrangements for that so we'd go back to the palace in three days time." Of course he knew she wasn't happy being here.
"I just don't want you to ever kiss any Princess ever again!." Her eyes became teary again then he pulled her into his embrace, comforting her.
"But I never did such." He wore a serious face wondering why she'd think that of him.
"You did! I saw it!." She cried in his chest.
"When was that?."
"Just promise never to do that again Lorcan." She held him tight.
"I promise." He rubbed her back.
"You know it's never right to break a promise Lorcan." She sobbed.
"I can never do anything to hurt you Wife, I promise never to hurt you." He patted her head.
"I'd be leaving to gather and train the armies tomorrow, we need to prepare for the fight. I'm sure Theodore has plans and he's ready to attack anytime soon."
"I'm scared, I don't want you to get hurt Your Highness."
"I would never get hurt, I'll always have in mind that I've got a beautiful wife praying for my safety, I will be more careful just please stop crying." He kissed her head.
"Can I ask something?." She pulled away from his arms and looked at him.
"Do you find Lyra attractive? And is she beautiful than me?." She didn't know when this question escaped her lips but now she just wanted to be over protective towards Lorcan. She needed to grab him and make him hers before Lyra even came close, she didn't trust her one bit.
"Yes." He replied with a grin on his face while Reina stared at him in shock.
"She's attractive and beautiful but, My Wife is most beautiful." Her was happy to see her lips slowly curved into a smile.
"But there's only one thing."
"What is it?." She asked.
"You are not ready to let me inside of you, it's been over a week after our marriage till you're punishing me."
Of course she was, she wanted to have him all to her elf but she was being selfish. She felt jealous each time he had good company but then she never gave him what he wanted.
That was the only thing men got and enjoyed on their wedding night but here she was depriving him from having what was his. Was she scared or she just wasn't ready??.
"I.." she managed to say then he cut her off.
"That's okay Wife, i will wait." He brought her hands to his lips and kissed her knuckles.
"You should go to bed, I'm not sleepy so I will be outside." He rose.
"Can I come with you?." She rose from the bed, Lorcan nodded in response and they both left the room to the guest quarters.
They spotted group of men in circles and Lorcan looked wondering what the commotion there was about.
Just then they saw someone coming to them, once he got closer they saw that it was Matthew.
"I've got news Your highness." He bowed.
"Excuse me Wife." He said to her then turned around and walked to Matthew with his arms at his back being gentle as always.
"Tell me." He said to Matthew. Reina could still hear all what they talked about cause they weren't that far from her.
"His Highness Prince Lysander has left the kingdom, the spy said that the two Princes had a huge fight and His Highness Theodore cut off His ears, so he left." He halted as he saw Lorcan's mood changed.
"Be calm Your Highness, from what I heard most of his men has left to another village with their families , they can't stand the coming war. So right now our armies are more than enough, we are only waiting for your order to attack."
"That's good news." He nodded with a frown.
"From what I'm hearing, you might be the next king Your Highness." He bowed and Lorcan creased his brows wanting him to explain.
"The women has gathered to make votes and they see you fit to be the next king of Samai and if you ask me you'd certainly make a great king."
"All I ever want is to protect My Princess and bring her to safety." He turned around to look at Reina from behind then he smiled at her and turned back to Matthew.
"Get the armies ready we might strike soon."
"Have a goodnight rest Your Highness." He bowed and left to the circle of men at the other side of the quarters.
Lorcan stood looking at something, he seemed to be lost in his thoughts then Reina noticed and walked to him as she hugged him from behind.
She didn't even care if anyone was looking at them, she only did what her heart wanted. She closed her eyes enjoying his sweet scent, Lorcan looked to his sides to find her holding him tight.
"You're learning Wife." He smiled and turned around to hug her tight.
"Then you must be a good teacher Your Highness." She rested her head on his chest, feeling grateful for having a caring husband like him.
"I wish your people would see the good side of you. You're really a good man and I agree with Matthew, you will make a good King." She looked up at him
"No Reina, people hate me and more so no one would want to be ruled by a beast."
"But they wouldn't want to be ruled by a true beast Your Highness."
"What do you mean Wife?." He asked.
"Prince Theodore." She replied.
