Emlyn giggled when her body was lifted by those strong arms. She imdiately wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his broad shoulder. There was no place she'd rather be, than here in his embrace.
"I love you," she whispered to his ear as she closed her eyes and enjoyed his scent around her. She loved him so much and this was the happiest day of her life.
"I love you too," he whispered back.
Edgar smiled faintly as he saw the loving couple leave the dining room in a hurry.
Athos and his wife were herding their two sons to go to their chambers and sleep, while Gewen got ready to pick up a certain lady he always t whenever he was in Southberry to warm his bed.
"I guess, I'll be the only one drinking tonight," Edgar shook his head seeing everyone leaving already.
Normally the n would stay up late over wine to wind down after a long day at the training field or discussing war strategy. However, now, it seed they all had other things to do.
So, Edgar took a wine jug and one cup with him to his chamber and decided to drink alone.
***
Emlyn was excited to find out how the servants decorated their bridal chamber. None of her siblings got married at ho, so she didn't know what their bridal chambers were like.
All her three sisters were sent out to marry their husbands in other lands. Emlyn only ca there for the ceremony and was not allowed to see their chambers since she was considered too young to know adults' business.
Her three brothers were not married. Prince Louis was too carefree and always found an excuse to postpone getting married. Actually, Gewen kind of reminded Emlyn of her oldest brother, Louis.
Since he was the crown prince to Winterre, Prince Louis set a really high, almost impossible, standard for his future wife. That's why on the day he died, he was still a bachelor.
However, Emlyn knew his standards were fake.? The main reason Louis wanted to postpone getting married was because he, just like Gewen, looked down on won and only thought of them as his bed warrs.
Her second brother, Liam, she suspected was gay because he never showed interest in any woman. Instead, he was very close with one of the minister's sons.
Liam never cared about how other people saw him. Since he was not the crown prince, he was more outgoing and could do whatever he wanted in life.
Killian was probably the only decent man among Emlyn's brothers.? He loved their family and was a filial son.
That's why he was willing to be sent to Glasswell to be married off to Princess Llewelynn. Sadly, before the marriage happened, Winterre was gone.
Emlyn secretly assud that her brother was kicked out of Glasswell since the alliance between the two kingdoms was basically worthless after Winterre fell.
Gosh... why did she think about her brothers on her wedding night? This was supposed to be a happy occasion for her and her husband.
Thinking about her family would only bring her sadness and suffering. She better focused on her life together with Mars going forward.
She opened her eyes and kissed his cheek.
Right at that mont, they had arrived in front of the door. Mars' steps halted and he turned to Emlyn with a big smile. "We are here."
Emlyn smiled too. She lowered one of her hands to push the door open. As soon as they saw what was inside, both gasped in surprise.
It was really the most beautiful chamber Emlyn had ever seen. She knew right away that Lily was the one responsible for designing her bridal chamber.
The huge chamber was lighted with so many scented candles and they could sll a really nice and relaxing fragrance in the air.
Emlyn could recognize the scent of musk, vanilla, and fresh cedar among others. She inhaled deeply and filled her lungs with the most amazing and relaxing aroma she had ever slled.
She made a ntal note to ask Lily for the ingredients too.? It would be nice to have this back in Draec when she was in need of relaxation during her pregnancy.
"This is amazing," Emlyn turned to Mars and motioned the man to keep walking. As the prince walked inside the chamber with candles spread on the floor and tables, Mars could feel his feet stepped on flower petals.
"Can you see those?" he whispered to Emlyn in his husky voice. Emlyn nodded softly. She was all smiles when she saw the flower petals on the wooden floor.
She knew Lily liked her a lot for going all out in decorating her bridal chamber to spend the first night as a husband and wife with the man she loved.
"This chamber is really beautiful," she whispered back. "I like it a lot."
Mars walked toward the beautiful comfortable bed in the middle of the room and gently placed Emlyn there. The bedding was made of the softest and most luxurious materials in soft blue colors.
The windows next to it were decorated with myrtle flowers, and there were so many roses of different colors in vases by the bedside tables. Emlyn felt like they were walking in a garden full of flowers.
"This would be as good as having sex in a flower field," she chuckled. "I always wonder how it would feel like."
Mars was amused when he heard her words. He climbed the bed and sat beside her. His hand tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "So, you have been fantasizing about having sex with in a flower field? I see."
Emlyn pressed her lips and stared at him with a shy smile. "I am a woman with a healthy dose of curiosity. Is that so bad?"
Mars shook his head and grabbed the back of her head and pulled her closer to kiss her luscious lips. "No.. not bad at all. I am actually wondering the sa thing."
And he claid her lips greedily.

From the author:
I'll publish one more chapter in a few hours. Btw... have you seen the announcent for the Web-no-vel Spirity Award? It's Webnovel's biggest writing competition.
I am very tempted to join since one of the awards is the opportunity to get the story adapted into a movie or TV series.
Also, I suddenly have this pressing idea that keeps nagging to write it. Uff... what do you think? Will you be interested in reading if I write a new book?
That will an I will only focus on The Cursed Prince and that new book. My other books will be updated even more slowly than they already are now. "Finding Stardust's book 2" and "The Alchemists" will have to take a back seat temporarily.
If you are interested in reading the new book before I publish it officially on Webnovel, you can send an email to my personal email:
I will include you as my beta reader and send you the files after I write the early chapters. I think I will start publishing the book in May on Webnovel so I could get a decent amount of stockpile.
What the story will be like?
It's about the loneliest man in the world, who had been living alone for over 15 centuries
He took an immortality potion so he could find the woman he loves. Where is she? Well, she was cruelly sent to the future by the evil Ti Master before he died.
Since the man didn't know when exactly she was sent to, he had no choice but to wait forever until he could see her again. He realized, he must not die.
So, the man fought 'monsters' and 'gods' to reach Olympus from the myth and got the elixir of immortality so he could stay alive until the mont he could et her again.
And so, he road the world and looked for her throughout the centuries.
Now, in the year 2045.. after being alive for over 15 centuries and witnessed the rise and fall of humankind, he finally felt like giving up.
But, on the day he decided to die, he t soone looking exactly like HER.
But is it really her?
Okay, that's what I know so far about the male lead. I haven't got a clear picture of the female lead. I also don't know their nas. I still need to sleep on it and visualize the story.
What do you think?
