The party was really boisterous and able to warm Kairav's feelings. Several times the man turned to look at his wife's face and he was always stunned. It's just, he doesn't know what to talk about with Adelia.
Meanwhile, Adelia's eyes were busy looking at the area below. She was looking for Stefan's whereabouts. Adelia's anxiety can be read by Kairav. That man gently took one of Adelia's hands and intertwined their fingers.
"What are you looking for?" asked Prince Kairav.
They were close enough that Kairav's breath could be inhaled by her, fresh. When she realized, she immediately looked down. It's impolite to stare at the prince's face for so long.
Kairav lifted Adelia's chin, her eyes were a little teary. Most likely, according to Kairav, Adelia was sad. "Did I hurt you?"
Adelia shook her head, of course not that. Even though there was news about the prince being very disciplined or giving no mercy, somehow Adelia felt comfortable being by Kairav's side. She feels protected.
"Then, why Adelia?"
Adelia cleared her throat slowly, she dared to express the things that stuck in her heart. "Your Highness, I apologize in advance. But ... before being with you, I already had a lover."
Luckily it was at a party, lots of people and it was a happy day. Otherwise Kairav would have destroyed this palace. "So?"
"So, I'm afraid of hurting him because of this and she hasn't been seen before."
How big is Adelia's worry about her lover?
"Listen, Adelia. Now you are my wife and we are united not because you are cheating, but thanks to the holy fire. Believe me, he will accept," said Kairav.
Only this time he spoke at length and felt compelled to explain something. Usually he just clears his throat, raises an eyebrow, or answers with a short sentence.
"Is that so?" asked Adelia.
The girl's face was very cute, funny, and made Kairav feel flowery. This was because they had undergone the ritual and their feelings for each other would only strengthen with time.
Kairav nodded slowly with a faint smile. His fingers stretched out to caress Adelia's smooth and supple cheeks. Then, his thumb brushed Adelia's lips and pressed her lower lip. With a quick and impatient movement, Kairav released his finger from there, changed to grab Adelia's back and hold the girl's waist.
He kissed her, still with tenderness and regular movement. Kairav's lips moved very happily to crush Adelia's lips. Moreover, when the kiss was reciprocated well, he became more and more happy by inviting Adelia to exchange tongues. If only they weren't sitting on the throne and were already in the room, it is certain that Kairav would make Adelia sigh right then and there.
However, Kairav is a man who is good at holding back. He broke the kiss and saw Adelia's face, which was already as red as a tomato. He also kissed Adelia's two eyelids and said, "Don't look at other men too long, I'm jealous."
From below, several people watched the interaction of the new couple. Some of them even squealed with joy when the two of them kissed earlier.
Stevan, who stood at the very back, could only clench his fists. Especially when he saw Adelia closing her eyes because of the kiss. Damn it! He really was on fire.
Then, the echo of the emcee's voice saying that the dance program would start soon also made many people excited. Almost all the men start looking for a dance partner, including Kairav. The man invited Adelia to dance downstairs, joining the others.
Kairav's lips held a broad smile when Adelia accepted his invitation. A pair of newlyweds went hand in hand down the stairs and made many people immediately bow in respect.
When they arrived on the dance floor, Kairav immediately stood in front of Adelia and wrapped her hands around her neck. Meanwhile, Kairav immediately hugged Adelia's sexy waist.
A few moments, people stopped to stare at their movements. However, that didn't last long because then people got carried away and started to follow the rhythm of the song.
"I will try to love you, Prince," said Adelia suddenly.
Kairav looked down, looked at Adelia's face, who was looking up at that time. "Don't push yourself too hard, Adelia. I can wait."
That night, the people were satisfied with the face of the Prince, who was usually tense and expressionless, but smiled faintly.
"They get along really fast, huh?" said King Elazein.
Malvin Bloomwood—Adelia's father—nods. It can be seen that the two of them chatted or smiled at each other several times. Malvin hopes that his children will not be forced and can be happy with their marriage.
Meanwhile, Queen Tatiana, who sat on the left side of the king, stared openly with displeasure at Adelia. How could the blue flames choose a lowly girl? Even though there were princesses from other kingdoms who also came at that time.
Tatiana moved her forefinger and the maid behind her immediately moved forward. She whispered something, making the maid's eyes widen, but she didn't dare to argue back. She just nodded and immediately left the queen's side.
Down there, the dance is still going on. Several times they changed partners, but not with Kairav. He didn't let any man touch his wife.
"I'm tired," said Adelia.
Kairav slowed his movements and immediately embraced Adelia's body. There is a feeling of always wanting to touch and be close to each other, also wanting to protect and have an attitude of belonging. Kairav suspects if this is the effect of the ritual, it's really this strong.
"Let's rest in the room," replied Kairav.
Adelia's body stiffened, she suddenly stiffened and didn't know what to say. Especially when Kairav took her hand and led her up the stairs, walking straight and turning right through several doors. Then, his feet ended up at a large, majestic door.
When the guard opened the door, Adelia was even more astonished. This room has been decorated in such a way. The flower petals are neatly arranged to form a heart shape. Magical flames floated in the room.
Adelia's heart was beating faster and faster, she was like having a heart attack now.
"Come on!" asked Kairav.
When their feet go deeper, the door closes by itself. It's Kairav's magic that moves.
Adelia's hands were linked, sweaty, and cold. He was restless, afraid, and had all kinds of feelings.
Kairav immediately took off his crown and put it on the small table. He also immediately disrobed and hung it in the corner of the room. Kairav also took off his royal coat, leaving only his white shirt and trousers. His shoes had even fallen off earlier.
Kairav turned around and raised an eyebrow when he saw his wife still standing in front of the mirror.
"Want me to help?" asked Kairav.
Adelia stuttered when she saw Kairav had unbuttoned his shirt. She immediately took a few steps back and put on a worried face. "Your Highness! I ... can we not do it first?" asked Adelia.
"Why?" Adelia did not answer, she was also confused about the reasons for withholding her husband's rights.
However, Kairav immediately threw his shirt in every direction and walked towards Adelia, who was still staring at him in horror. "No problem. As long as you don't tell me to sleep separately."
Kairav then turned Adelia's body to face the mirror. He pulled down the zipper of his wife's dress so that the white shoulders were showing. Adelia's dress fell down. Leaving Adelia's inner corset and panties. She was embarrassed, but Kairav's hand that was holding her left her speechless.
Kairav's lips kissed that open shoulder. Somehow, there was such a strong urge to touch his wife.
"Change clothes, after that. After me to sleep," said Kairav.
The man turned around and headed for the large bed filled with red and pink flower petals. Adelia swallowed hard. Finally, he could breathe easily. So, she quickly took the nightgowns that had been provided from the cupboard and headed for the changing area.
After finishing, Adelia walked slowly towards the bed.
At first, Adelia sat on the edge of the bed in an uneasy position. Kairav, who was already very sleepy, was, of course, furious with Adelia's behavior.
"Sleep, Adelia. I won't force you tonight. I'm tired too," Kairav said.
Although Adelia is good at using a sword, when faced with something like this, she is also nervous to death.
"Adelia," Kairav said again. This time the man's voice was quite depressed and a little loud.
Adelia, who was a little surprised, immediately threw her body roughly so that the flower petals scattered. She also nimbly covered herself up to his chin. Kairav just shakes his head seeing that.
After Adelia closed her eyes, Kairav inched closer and hugged Adelia's body. "Don't move and protest!" he said.
