After an exhausting night, the newlyweds did not step out of bed till late the next day. No one disturbed the pair of husband and wife, and the servants of the Crown Prince's residence merely waited outside the door ready to serve them once they were called.
At around midday, Prince Theron stirred awake first. He found himself in a daze, staring at the lovely young woman snuggled into his embrace. As gently as he could, he moved away the stray strands of blond hair covering her face. He then couldn't resist kissing the tip of her nose. Realizing that his dear wife remained peacefully asleep, a wicked smile made its way onto his lips.
'Seems like she is not going to wake up anytime soon. Shall I give her more reason to keep sleeping?'
As if she had sensed his thoughts, Esther opened her eyes, only to see a pair of dark eyes staring at her with evil intentions in them.
