Axel and Charlotte said their sacred promise to both. Royal officials finally formalized them as a husband and wife couple.
"In front of your parents, the people, and the universe, I legalize you as a husband and wife. Please kiss your bride, "said the royal officials with joy.
Axel, who has no heart at all for Charlotte, can't do that kiss. His heart completely refused, and she remembered someone she couldn't be with right now. Axel was so indecisive, it even took him a long time to decide whether to do it or not.
Axel's father and mother were so worried about seeing their son's behavior. They were very worried if this marriage would become a rumor in another kingdom. The king and queen of Nirvana did not feel bad about the king and queen of Florin.
Axel's mother whispered to her husband about Axel's behavior on the altar. "What did he do, why didn't he kiss Charlotte?"
"Shut up, I'm as panicked as you. We'll see what he will do, I've warned him loudly, "replied Axel's father.
Axel just continued to stare at Charlotte while imagining someone in his mind standing up and becoming his current partner.
Everyone was waiting for Axel to kiss his bride. However, the prince of the Nirvana Kingdom was still silent and staring deeply at Charlotte. He still seemed unable to believe that he was getting married today.
Charlotte, who was a little annoyed with Axel's behavior, tried to remain patient and continued to smile. She couldn't help but take bold actions in front of parents, guests, and the people. Charlotte took Axel's hand and tugged a little. She brought her face closer to Axel's and kissed the man who had officially become her husband.
Axel was surprised by what Charlotte was doing, he did not expect that woman to be so brave. Not only was Axel surprised, but also his parents who were uncomfortable with the Charlotte family.
"That kid is just a shame. He let women act in public, "said king Nirvana.
"Never mind, we'll talk about this later. Just enjoy the program first, "replied the queen to her husband who was starting to get angry because of his son's behavior.
The king of Nirvana, inevitably, had to hide his shame by continuing to smile. His anger must be suppressed until this event is over. He has to teach his son a lesson. If this attitude continued, the Nirvana King could not abdicate to his son immediately. Axel looks not ready to become king, even though he has married a princess from another kingdom.
Everything did not go according to the plan of the king who wanted to make his son king immediately after marriage. He also had to postpone the rest period that would be spent traveling with his wife. This situation made the king even more depressed and again had to think about his people.

After the marriage approval ceremony took place, Axel and Charlotte sat in the space that had been provided together with their parents while welcoming the guests who had come . They get a lot of praise because the two of them are such a good match, Axel is the right complement to the beautiful and graceful Charlotte.
"You guys are a really good match. The two kingdoms are very lucky to make you a couple. I can't wait to see your baby, it will be very beautiful and handsome, "said one of the fortunate guests from another kingdom.
"Thank you. Just pray that soon the little angel who will succeed the kingdom," said Queen Nirvana.
"Come on, please enjoy another dish."
The queen welcomes and takes guests to the place where the food has been served while talking about the current state of the kingdom.
Charlotte continues to radiate her happiness and smile . It was as if he was saving Axel from the rumors of another kingdom, and trying to steal the attention so that no one would notice Axel.
''Thank me afterward because I lowered my pride to save you, Axel," Charlotte muttered in her heart.
However, Axel still looks uncomfortable and hopes this event will end soon. At this last event, Axel also tried to smile, even though it seemed uncomfortable at all to give it.

After the wedding ceremony took place, that day Charlotte had moved to the palace of the Nirvana Kingdom. She was greeted happily by the royal family and was introduced to all the workers in the kingdom.
As a new member, Charlotte will get a special lady who will help her. Some of the people were prepared to accompany the prince's wife in carrying out their daily activities. The gifts for the royal family were common to every member.
"I'm happy that there are more family members, the palace will be even busier. Especially if you already have cute babies. I hope that you will soon be blessed with babies, "said the queen.
"Thank you, mom. I am very happy to be a member of the Kingdom of Nirvana, and to be able to accompany my mother too, "Charlotte replied in a very friendly manner.
Charlotte and Axel were escorted to their bridal suite, a very spacious room with lots of luxurious furniture in it. However, Axel doesn't look happy about this room move. He thinks his room will be the bridal suite, and in that room, there is a long sofa that he can use to sleep separately with Charlotte. Like it or not, Axel also accepted what had been prepared for him, after this, he would rearrange the room.
Axel's parents left after escorting them, hoping that on this first day, the two of them could get closer and get to know more. They also hope to be able to pet the grandchildren of Axel and Charlotte soon.
Unfortunately, what Axel's parents expected is the opposite of what happened in the room. Axel was silent in a thousand languages without speaking to Charlotte. while Charlotte maintained her pride as a woman not to speak first, she felt that her pride was enough after pulling Axel to kiss him.
Finally, Axel made his voice for the first time when they were alone.
"Get some rest, you must be tired. I will go to my room. "
Axel didn't look at the woman who had just officially become his wife.
"Go to your room? Then, you leave me here alone?" said Charlotte, who began to express her annoyance at Axel. She felt that the man who had become her husband didn't have a heart at all.
Charlotte thought, at least if Axel didn't love her, that man could treat her well. They could be friends to talk to, without having to make out like other couples.
"Then, what do you want me to do? Wouldn't it be more comfortable if you were alone?" replied Axel.
"You don't see that this room is very big and outside? What if your parents suddenly come, or the maid sees that you are not in this room, instead you were in your room before?"
"If they see me, what can they do? Just enjoy your new life." Axel walked away from the room without looking and thinking about Charlotte's feelings again.
Charlotte was speechless, she let Axel go, and promised to make the prince who was her current husband melted to her. She really felt challenged this time.
