The next morning Seren woke up and saw Drayce was not by her side in bed. She looked at the window where he was standing just like the previous morning, staring outside while looking into deep thoughts.
'I know as a king he must have a lot more things to think about, but I wonder what troubles him the most to turn him like this- so calm at the surface but inside there seems to be a storm.'
Drayce sensed her gaze at him and looked at her, "Good Morning, Seren."
She smiled pleasantly as hearing him calling her name was the best thing she could experience the early morning, "Good Morning, Dray," she said looking at him as if he was her most precious dream that she did not want to disappear from her sight.
Though Drayce could not see her smile, bright purple eyes were enough for him to understand what she was feeling at the moment. He went to her and sat at the edge of the bed.
Seren sat in the bed facing him.
"May I know the reason why you are happy?" Drayce asked as he tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ear.
Seren touched her face with her hand to check if her veil was not on her face so that he could see her smiling. 'Veil is still here then how did he know I was smiling?'
"These pretty eyes of yours are the reflection of your soul that allows me to see how you feel," Drayce replied her unspoken question, "and this veil can not stop me from doing so."
Seren understood and only looked at him. Drayce neared his face to hers and pecked on her lips lightly as he stayed like that for a few moments. It was nothing surprising for Seren and she stood still.
"What are you two doing?" A sweet voice disturbed the two.
Seren moved back immediately as she was worried Rayjin had seen them while Drayce was calm and looked at the little girl who was rubbing her sleepy eyes to get them clear.
"I was wishing her a good morning," Drayce replied and held Rayjin's hands, "You should not rub your eyes like this."
"But they won't open nicely to see clearly," she countered, feeling annoyed at her heavy eyes.
"Give it some time. They will be fine," Drayce instructed and Rayjin nodded, "Okay!" and sat up in the bed, next to Seren.
On the other hand, Seren was relieved that Ryajin didn't ask anything more and her attention was diverted to something else.
Drayce caressed the little girl's head, "Good Morning."
Rayjin smiled pleasantly, "Good Morning, Dray."
"You two can get ready. I will head back to my chamber," Drayce said as he stood up.
Drayce left Seren's bedchamber. Once the door closed, Rayjin looked at Seren. Seren offered her a light smile that Rayjin could not see and she patted her head, "Good Morning, Rayjin."
Rayjin got on her knees and pecked on Seren's lips, "Good Morning, Seren."
Seren was taken aback and heard the little girl, "Now I know why Dray wished you Good Morning like this. It feels good."
Seren didn't know what to say to this innocent girl and thought to ignore it. Just then the door of the chamber opened and the servants Marie and Eva entered the chamber.
"Good Morning, Your Majesty!" Wishing Seren, they looked at the little girl, "Good Morning, Your Highness!"
The two greeted them back and soon Marie and Eva helped them with the bath and Seren's ladies in waiting, prepared her in a nice dress.
Once two ladies were ready, they were directed to have breakfast in the dining room. Seren and Rayjing enjoyed their meal together.
Once they stepped out of the dining room, Lady Xena informed, "Your Majesty, Royals from Griven and Abetha are waiting for you."
Seren nodded as Her ladies in waiting guided her way while Rayjin turned silent. Seren looked at the little girl who was walking quietly while holding her hand.
"What happened, Rayjing," Seren asked.
Rayjin looked at her, "I am upset."
"May I ask why?"
"I have to leave today but I want to spend more days with you," Rayjin replied as her tiny lips turned into a cute pout.
Seren caressed her hand and said, "You can come here again, or I can visit you in Griven one day."
It excited the little girl, "Really?"
"Hmm!"
"That will be even better. Then I will show you everything that we talked about."
"I would love to," Seren agreed.
In the carriage, Seren and Rayjin reached the guest's residence where the last guests of the wedding, the four Royals from Griven and Abetha were waiting for them.
Rayjin and Seren stepped out of the Carriage and walked towards the group of Royals waiting for them. Rayjin went to her father and uncles while Seren went to her brother.
Arlan picked Rayjin in his arms, "Good Morning, Young Lady. Did you enjoy the stay with her Majesty?"
Rayjin nodded happily, "I enjoyed it a lot," she then pecked on Arlan's lips which surprised him and he heard her, "And good Morning, uncle Arlan."
"What is this new way of wishing me a good morning. You never did this before," Arlan said.
"Dray wished Seren liked this and even I did too. But, her lips felt better than yours. Now I know why Dray wished her like this," Rayjin replied without any restraint while others felt speechless.
Seren now understood why Rayjin pecked her on the lips and said good morning to her. She realized they had taught her the wrong thing by mistake. She turned utterly silent as her privacy was being exposed in front of her own brother and her husband's friends, while Cian smiled seeing his sister all embarrassed. All these small things were assuring him that she was having a good marital life.
Arlan looked at Drayce who was only calm, "Can't you restrain yourself a bit in front of a child?"
Drayce cleared his throat and looked at Rayjin, "You should not greet anyone like this."
"Why?" she asked.
"It's not what a good lady should do," Drayce answered, not having any other way to answer it.
"Oh!" was what Rayjin said and then she heard her father who wished to change the subject before his daughter would say anything appropriate, "Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, father. I loved sleeping with Seren. She smells like flowers. Dray is fortunate to sleep with her while I have to leave," she pouted her lips as she said something shocking again.
Everyone looked at Drayce and then to Rayjin, not knowing what to say while Seren could only feel more embarrassed.
"Dray, next time I should better keep you with me," Arlan warned he was not sure what his niece had witnessed.
"It was nothing," Drayce answered him.
"Can't wait for the next time for something to be there," Arlan countered.
Rayjin caught a few words from what Arlan said, not knowing what they were talking about, "Next time?" she looked at Drayce, "Next time I will be the one to hug Seren when we sleep with her. You did not leave any space for me to hug her. I only held her hand."
She had such accusing expressions on her face that Drayce could only agree with her, "Fine!" While others enjoyed the King of Megaris being submissive to the little girl's demands when she was unintentionally exposing his private things.
Seren who was buried under the mountain of embarrassment with each word from the little girl and her husband could not do anything to stop it, she wondered, 'When did she see us? Wasn't she sleeping so soundly till the morning?'
Little did Seren know that when she was in peaceful sleep in her husband's embrace who back hugged her, Ryajin happened to wake up in the middle of the night. She saw Drayce sleeping behind Seren and he hugged her. Rayjin felt envious and moved closer to Seren to sleep in her embrace like a baby, holding her hand even tightly.
"I think this much talk is enough to embarrass Her Majesty. We should leave now," Lenard said and others agreed.
Rayjin stepped out of Arlan's arms and went to Drayce as she held his hand, "Dray, soon have lots of babies so I can come here to play with them." Her eyes were full of hope to return there again.
Drayce could only nod again and patted her head, "Be good in the journey."
Rayjin nodded and went to her father.
The carriages were ready for them. Cian patted his sister's head who looked sad that her brother was leaving, "I am glad to see you are happy here. I can be at peace now."
"Do visit again, brother," Seren said as her voice turned emotional.
"I will," Cian agreed and finally went to Drayce. Cian bowed to him, "Your Majesty, thank you so much for taking care of my sister and treating her well."
"She is my wife," Drayce replied only this much but his tone carried the underlying meaning that Cian understood. She was his wife so there was no need to thank him. It also showed that, as she was his wife, she was solely his responsibility and others should stay away from her.
Cian only nodded slightly as he could see this domineering King was possessive of his belongings whether it was a thing or a person. But he was happy that he was such a good husband to his sister and wished for nothing more.
Finally, the Royal carriages from Griven and Abetha left as Seren waved her hand to her brother who looked at her through the glass window. Her eyes turned moist seeing her brother leaving.
Drayce stood by her side to accompany her till the carriages disappeared from their sights.
