The couple felt bliss in each other's arms. Ray felt his body relaxing with her scent and her warmth, while Zelda felt sleep taking over again. They were so lost in their world that they didn't hear the old maid entering the room.
" Good morning, Lady Barclay, His Highness. Breakfast is ready "
The prince lazily opened his eyes. The elder maid bowed, waiting for their reply.
" We will be there in a few minutes. "
" Yes, Your Highness. "
The maid left. The prince continued rubbing her silky smooth hair.
" Let's go and eat," he said slowly, trying to coax her.
" No. Let's sleep" she mumbled, pressing herself on his chest.
" You're not skipping breakfast. We can sleep after eating if you want." The prince tried to make her agree.
" Nuh-huh. We have work. You have to meet Grandma, and I have a show to do tonight. So let me sleep more" the redhead replied.
The crown prince sighed. He knew it wasn't going to be easy.
" Listen to me, okay? I'll attend your show tonight "
Zelda nodded her head, still her eyes closed, and her arms around her didn't loosen. Knowing exactly what she wanted, the electric blue-eyed man sighed before he stood up, carrying her in his arms.
" You act like a baby sometimes" Ray said, adjusting her weight. Zelda placed her face on his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeats.
" Do you mind? " She asked, snuggling into his chest.
" Nope ", the crown prince replied in a second, stepping into the dining room. The servants secretly smiled at the couple, seeing how their future king was carrying his future queen like a baby. Except for her, who had the power to make him do things that no king probably would ever do?
" Then all the more reason for me to act like a baby" the redhead cheerfully said. Ray bent down slowly to let his fiancée sit on the chair. Zelda gave a big smile happily which made the crown Prince smile. He gave her a kiss on her forehead, ruffling her hair. He sat on the other chair before looking at the servants to serve the breakfast.
They both started eating in silence. The only sounds of cutlery could be heard.
" So? "The ash-blonde hair was the one to break the silence first. He raised his head to look at the lady who troubled him as soon as he landed back in his country.
" Are you going to tell me what exactly happened there? "
The green-eyed girl was about to take a sip of her juice when she heard his voice. She looked at him, her lips touching the glass, her dark forest green eyes bigger than normal, giving her a cute, adorable look. But Ray knew better than that. He knew that she was far from what she looked, but still, he couldn't help but melt.
" Yes, I will" the future Queen secretly smirked, watching him getting flushed but hiding it very well. Except for her, no one in the room could sense his blush. He saw her smirk and knew she was teasing him. He let out a cough, furrowing his brow, a signal between them not to overdo it.
" I just went out to see a car race. I swear I didn't even think of racing" she hurriedly explained.
" What changed your mind? " He asked, his blue-orbed gaze still locked on her.
" That ......." Zelda rubbed her forehead and sighed.
She couldn't just say that she recklessly accepted a challenge. No matter how hard she tried, that side of hers was the active, risk-taker for fun, she couldn't control it.
Give her a lecture on how dangerous it was, she would make notes of the lecture because she felt bored. Tie her up, she would release herself and sneak out of the place. The only way to stop her was to make sure she was tired or when she fell ill.
Zelda gave a sheepish smile at him, awkwardly trying to set her hair.
" It was a challenge "
Ray paused eating, giving her a look. Of course, he knew how hard it was for her to hold herself back. He nodded to her to continue. She brightened up immediately when she felt no dangerous aura emitting from him.
" I sneaked into the car race and dragged Lily with me. I randomly commented on an awful car and the results were worse. They heard me and demanded an apology. Lily apologized to them, but they demanded us to spend the rest of the night with them as an apology" Ray narrowed his eyes, his look becoming icy frost. A cold dangerous aura started emitting from him.
' HOW DARE THOSE BASTARDS!!?? " He thought. People might not know who she was because of her disguise. Still, they had lecherous thoughts about her and that was enough for him to destroy them.
" When we said no they challenged us" the redhead continued" And you know how I react when someone challenges me" she said at the end, very meekly, noticing his dark aura.
" So you decided to race, destroy the whole track and your opponent then run away? "
" No! " Zelda gave a pitiful, wrong look. " I didn't want to run away, but the locket ran out of its power. I couldn't keep my disguise, so I had to make a scene and escape from there. It helped me to take out my frustration on them as well"
The Prince gave a deadpan look while his staff went stupefied hearing their future king's and queen's exchange.
The whole country was very well aware of how badly the crown prince spoiled their future queen, yet sometimes they could never get used to seeing them like that.
If someone bullied their future Queen, that would be the end of their lives.
If someone looked down on her, he would make sure that would be the end of their reputation.
If someone tried to ruin the lady's reputation, they could only try, because he would surely stop them, but he would also destroy their reputation and career without any mercy.
Not as if the future Queen couldn't defend herself. It's just because the future King loved her so much that he couldn't let her bother with these morons.
The staff understood how terrifying their crown prince was, but what they didn't know was that it was just the tip of the iceberg.
Poor souls didn't know that once when someone tried to poison her he sent that person directly to work with the most poisonous creatures in the world.
The main butler who went aside when the breakfast started returned. They had almost completed their breakfast.
Ray stood up completing his breakfast when he felt the familiar presence of the main butler. The butler straightened up again
"Your Highness, there was a call from the palace. The queen wishes to see you and Lady Barclay and stay for lunch at the palace "
Ray turned to look at Zelda, who paused drinking the freshly squeezed orange juice when their eyes met. Her eyes seemed larger than normal with the mischievous gleam shimmering in her pupils.
The blue orbs quickly turned away before the redness could spread. " Inform grandmother that we will be arriving there in an hour. "
" Yes, Your Highness. "
Ray turned around to talk with his fiancée but paused when he saw her in the same position.
' f**k! ' he cursed internally.
" You heard him. We need to get going soon" he hurriedly said before speeding up towards the stairs.
Zelda, who was innocently having her juice, finally kept the glass on the table, her lips curling up into a naughty but evil smirk. OH! How much she loved the power she had on him.
He he he he he he he he......
——————–——————————————————
Checking himself for one last time in the mirror, he decided to go out, and he also needed to look for his stubborn fiancé. She didn't even come to their room and, for all he knew, she could be sleeping on the couch.
'Well, I'll just simply carry her '
With that thought in his mind, the crown Prince stepped out of the room dressed in a solid black button-up shirt and a pair of black pants. As soon as he stepped out of the door, a hand dragged him to the corner of the floor.
Electric blue met the emerald gaze. It was at times like these that he felt like he should not let his guard down, even around her. But he could never do that because only when they were away from everyone and alone could he be in peace. Moreover, he felt it was rather fun to be cornered against a wall by someone who could barely reach his neck and had to stretch her head up. Not to mention it was also adorable.
" Don't you think that the positions should be reversed?" In a flash, he grabbed her waist and switched their positions, a loose smirk hanging on his lips" Like this? "
He tightened his grip on her waist, his leg stepping a bit towards her, leaving no space between them. He looked down at her outfit when he felt her silky smooth legs. She wore a black frill-layered dress ending a bit above her knees and paired it up with ankle-length black boots. Her crimson hair was tied into a pony, the side bags covering a bit of her forehead. He just wanted to spend the rest of the day with her. Too bad she had a show to perform.
Zelda looked straight into those electric blue eyes and felt the air changing around them. More like the air turning intensified. She just wanted to tease him but forgot that she had just crossed all the lines when teasing him.
" Getting bolder, aren't we? " He said in a low throaty voice that sent shivers down her spine. She knew what she did at the breakfast table.
Oops!!! She teased him a bit too much.
" I...I... Just wanted to play ar- "
Her sentence was abruptly cut off by a pair of lips leaning on her lips roughly. The naughty pair of hands on her waist squeezed her. She let out a moan, giving the crown Prince a chance to fully kiss her. He pulled her even closer as she let her hands go around his neck.
They both sided in the kiss, tilting their heads. Although the kiss happened suddenly, she wasn't surprised, she was just lost in the kiss.
Her sighs were driving him crazy. Touching her after a week with her teases on top, he couldn't stop himself anymore. One hand was still on her waist, the other hand on her nape, pulling her even closer if it was possible.
The kiss took a rough turn as he passionately started sucking and kissing her lips, turning her lips the shade of her hair colour. He especially liked that every time her lips turned into her hair colour instead of artificial lipstick.
Dominating her mouth, tasting every part of it was something he could never get enough of.
