After the wedding vows, the banquet began immediately, Lyra was already dozing off before the banquet finished, she had a really long day and she wanted to rest.
Crown Prince Lyrien smiled as he watched her doze off, he gently placed her head on his shoulder.
"Crown Prince Lyrien can't take his eyes off his wife," Prince Edward the second prince teased as he smiled and watched the new couple.
Crown Prince Lyrien stands up and carries Lyra in his arms. "Your majesty, if you will please, I would love to excuse myself now, my wife is already so tired,'' he said with a serious look as he bowed.
"What are you doing?" Lyra asked as she opened her eyes and saw that he was already holding her. She was already so embarrassed and he had to do this in front of everyone.
Emperor Nicole laughed. "Ha ha ha you children of nowadays you can't even wait until your ceremonies finish," he waved his hand. "You can leave," he said as he continued to laugh.
"Ok then," Crown Prince Lyrien bowed before leaving while he was still holding Lyra firmly in his arms.
Lyra began to struggle as they left the hall. "Put me down, I can walk, there will be rumors if anybody sees us," she said as she snapped his chest.
"They will understand that we are newly wedded, I just want to hold my wife. Is it a problem? I will help you to your chamber, and then you can move to my chamber tomorrow."
"Will we sleep together?" Lyra asked as her jaws dropped.
"Not that, we will consummate our marriage," Crown Prince Lyrien said as he smiled.
"Your Highness we will help Crown Princess Lyra to her chamber," Lady Elara said as she bowed.
"No, I will carry her to the chamber," Crown Prince Lyrien insisted, Lady Elara bowing and walking behind him slowly.
He slowly put her on the bed and then left the chamber without a word.
"Your Highness loves you so much I am sure that you are happy," Lady Elara said as she helped her to undress slowly, taking off the wedding attire.
"Lady Elara," Lyra called.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"How is my relationship with crown prince Lyrien, are we on good terms and is he going to be angry if I refuse to consummate our marriage or will he look for another woman?" Lyra asked out of curiosity she didn't even know when she was starting to get interested in Princess Lyra's past relationships with him.
Lady Elara smiled. "Your Highness might not remember her memories now but Crown Prince Lyrien will always love you so you don't have to worry about that. Also try to avoid Prince Luke and Princess Charlotte there is a rumor that she has feelings for Crown Prince Lyrien and both of you once get into a fight."
Lyra's attention was more caught when she heard that she has always loved rumors about other people. "What happened,"
"You don't have to worry about it, just avoid them," Lady Elara responded before leaving to prepare the bathtub.
Lyra sat down wondering about what had happened in the past and why she told her to be careful of those people. Lyra gasped and covered her mouth when the realization hit her. "Did I have an enemy now?"
"You don't have to worry about that because Crown Prince Lyrien will be there to protect you. You should be more worried about him instead," Lady Elara said as she got out of the bathroom and helped her to the bathtub.
She helps her change into a new white attire and redo her makeup but this time the makeup is lighter.
Lady Elara led Lyra to Crown Prince Lyrien's bedchamber, when she came in Crown Prince Lyrien was not in the room, she sat down on the bed and her face was covered with a veil while Lady Elara stood by the door.
Crown Prince Lyrien stepped into the bedchamber and looked at Lady Elara who was standing at the side.
"You are dismissed," he said before Lady Elara bowed and left the room.
Lyra bit her lip nervously, it was her first time and she was so scared.
"I will put out the light now," Crown Prince Lyrien said before turning off the candle he gently took off his clothes and sat down on the bed, he opened the veil and saw that Lyra was already closing her eyes.
He chuckled. "You don't have to pretend that you are asleep if you are not ready to consummate our marriage you can just tell me but this is a palace they will keep records of the day you get intimate with me to keep the record of pregnancy," he said as he stared at her waiting for her to open her eyes
Lyra stopped pretending immediately and opened her eyes slowly to meet with Lyrien's dazzling brown eyes.
"I am not ready yet.." she trembled with his touch as she said.
Crown prince Lyrien nodded his head. "You can take as much time as you need and you can let me know when you are ready," he said before he lay on the other side of the bed.
Lyra bit her lip as she gathered up the courage. "No, I will do it," she said before taking off her clothes.
She knows she might regret it later, but she doesn't want anybody to look down on her.
Crown Prince Lyrien opened his eyes to see that Lyra was still sleeping peacefully, he pulled her cheek and used his finger to trace her forehead down to her nose. He admired her beauty for a while before kissing her cheek.
"Good morning wifey," he said with a beautiful bright smile, he stood up from the bed gently deciding not to wake her up after a long night.
Just as he opened the door and was about to escape he met with Lady Elara who was waiting at the door.
She bowed immediately. "Your Highness."
"Don't wake her up," he instructed immediately without waiting for her to say anything.
"But, she has to say her greetings to the Empress. It is her first day as your wife, she should not be in the bad book of her majesty," Lady Elara said as she trembled.
"You don't have to worry about that, just do as I instructed you to do," he responds in a calm voice before walking away.
Lady Elara is still nervous because she knows how the Empress can be, she doesn't want Lyra to be punished by her.
