Breakfast (2)

Lowering her head, she started stuffing her mouth with food and vegetables. She hoped that her husband of hers shut his mouth and eat silently. If he shuts his mouth, then why would he become her husband?

"Her eyes look like lotus petals. So…" he said to his mother with a boyish grin that made Adira's heart skip a beat.

At this rate, her heart would stop beating at a point. And he would be the reason for her death. God! She doesn't want to die young.

"Ohhhh." serene said as she teased her daughter while she jumped into her son-in-law's boat without any delay.

Adira couldn't take it and pinched his waist making him yelp in pain.

"Ouch," he yelped.

"What's wrong?" Eudora asked looking at him with a questioning gaze.

"Nothing, a little ant was trying to pinch me," he said with a smirk that made Adira want to wipe it off with a slap.

"Oh, Then I support the little ant to bite you more," Eudora said with a smirk that made Adira turn redder in embarrassment.

"Hmm, It's lively today," Serene pointed with a smile.

"Of course, I got with the best view," Zaros said like a teenager who was revved in his love.

"What's the view?" Serene asked.

"Mon, Why not just eat?" Adira said for the first time feeling embarrassed. She doesn't want to remember the morning incident. That's so embarrassing. She was almost got eaten by her husband. How could she let him have a chance to tease her more?

And why the hell her mother was being so nosy today?

Didn't she hate her son-in-law?

She gave a glare at her mother and continued to eat. But her mother just ignored her and passed a smile to her son-in-law.

"My wife's face," he said with a grin that made her heart flip in her chest.

"Enough! Just eat!" Adira said with a red face.

"Mom, you shouldn't tease my wife. See, her face turned red now. Only I have the right to turn her face red," he said with a smile.

"Fine. But don't turn her eyes red," Serene said with a smile that carried a warning which perfectly understood by Zaros.

"I am not stupid to turn her eyes red," Zaros said.

"I hope it will be true," Serene said.

"Don't worry, I will keep tabs on my son," Eudora assured her in-law as she glared at her son.

The dining table suddenly turned silent as a thick blanket of awkwardness enveloped the room.

"Between where is sister-in-law?" Adira asked as she tried to break the awkward environment.

Which turned the environment more awkward unknowingly. "She will come," Eudora said defending her daughter. From Celine, she got to know she would be late in joining the dining table.

Everyone turned silent. Even Zaros turned silent when he saw the absence of his sister. They only ate food the conversation at the dining table died down as they ate.

Zaros continued to serve food on her plate from time to time when he noticed her plate was turning empty.

Just then they heard the footsteps of someone entering the dining hall. And thankfully it's her sister-in-law. She wanted to greet her but Lenora didn't greet anyone. She looked somewhat lost in her thoughts.

Adira decided not to disturb her since she looked to be in a terrible mood. She could see slight dark circles under her eyes. Adira was surprised to see a vampire with dark circles and slightly swollen eyes. Maybe every Vampire will have a different constitution. She decided to read more about Vampire and know more about them.

Then both her mother brought up the issue of coronation. Adira hoped that this time the coronation would occur without any disruptions. Last time the coronation was held back a day before D-day.

She prayed to god that nothing of that sort shall happen this time. Adira was slightly excited to take part in this coronation. This would be the last event she would take part in. And she wants to make as many as happy memories she could.

Adira has to pick clothes, gowns, footwear, jewelry, and many other things. Many things need to be taken care of. Even Zaros could feel the excitement oozing from his wife.

He smiled at his wife's childish behavior. He decided to give her the best this time. Zaros also decided to wear matching clothes and stuff on that day. Also, he needs to prepare a gift for his sister and his brother-in-law on the day of the coronation.

Maybe this was his chance to prove to her and others that he was a responsible husband to his wife.

Also, he will take this chance to prove his sister innocent in front of everyone. He has to show his stance that he would do anything to protect his sister Lenora too.

Zaros would also get to see his sister for the last time. And the last would be she won't be his little sister or a princess, but a queen. He would give his blessings from his heart and wish her happiness for one last time. He wouldn't make her or anyone else cries because of him.

Many thoughts and many things swirled in his brain for the coming coronation. And he has to admit Maximus was a meticulous person who does things systematically. He could already see the palace bustling with preparations and the festivities for the coronation. Even the city was being decorated beautifully. Only the royal announcement was left.

As a king, Zaros could say Maximus was tired but was hanging on. After the coronation, things would turn easier for Maximus too.

Maximus and his mother continued to take about the preparations of the Coronation with each other for some time.

Then Serene broke a news saying that she, Eudora, and the elders talked with the high priestess about the coronation.

"Tomorrow is it's yours and Lenora's first day," this line broke Adira's and Lenora's hearts.

First day!? as in consummating the marriage?!

Lenora was too shocked to hear that. At this moment, they were not at the stage to have sex with each other. Even Maximus looked shocked at the revelation.

"Mother, I don't see any hurry for that. We will find ways to make all the people in our race connect with our queen," Maximus said coming to Lenora's rescue.
