Seo-jun straightened out the cape that was around his shoulders. He was dressed in a black suit with gunmetal gray trimmings, and a matching gray silk shirt underneath. He was dressed in the colors representing the Shigaron Royal family. Adorning the top of his head was a white gold crown inlayed with black diamonds.
He took a deep breath and walked out of the parlor he was currently occupying. Standing outside the door waiting for him was Mikyle.
Mikyle was dressed in a suit with a similar style to his own. The only difference was that it was white with gold trimmings, the colors representing the Valron Kingdom. Sitting on top of his head was a small gold crown inlayed with rubies and white diamonds, a gift from his family. Seo-jun felt his breath leave him at the sight. Mikyle looked even more stunning than he normally did all dressed up like this.
A chuckle escaped from Mikyle when he saw the look on Seo-jun's face. "Keep those thoughts until after the ceremony."
Seo-jun felt his eyes scrunch in confusion. "What thoughts?" The only thought he had was how handsome Mikyle looked but Seo-jun didn't see why he had to keep those thoughts to himself.
"The thought of you wanting to jump me." Mikyle wore a self satisfied smirk and his eyes sparkled with an unveiled intensity.
Seo-jun's ears burned with Mikyle's words. He lifted a fist and punched him in the arm. "I wasn't thinking that," he huffed, "but now I am afraid of what you're thinking."
Mikyle chuckled once again, the intensity in his eyes deepening. The color and intent hidden in his gaze was making his blood heat up in a way that wasn't suitable for this occasion.
"I am thinking that I want this over so I can keep you locked up for a week while I thoroughly explore your body." Mikyle's voice was low with want. This time, Seo-jun's face turned red, matching his already red ears. He opened and closed his mouth repeatedly not knowing what to say to that, though he really should have known that Mikyle would say something like that.
A hand suddenly reached for him and Seo-jun flinched away, wary of what his horny fiance was going to do to him. "Relax. I just want to fix your crown." Seo-jun stayed still this time to allow Mikyle to fix the crown on his head. He gave Mikyle a hard stare when his hand lingered just a bit too long.
When he was done, Mikyle held out his arm for Seo-jun to take. Today marked the ending of their two year engagement. It was officially the day of their wedding.
During the two years, Seo-jun had spent them finishing up his studies at the academy and then moving into the White Moon Palace with Mikyle while Seo-jun's parents were in the Shigaron Kingdom cementing their ruling. The reason why Seo-jun hadn't gone with them was because everyone agreed that it was too dangerous at the moment.
While staying in the Valron Kingdom, they held Seo-jun and Mikyle's engagement ceremony in the Valron's royal palace since the actual wedding ceremony had to take place in the Shigaron Kingdom, with Seo-jun being the crown prince and all.
The two of them walked out of the palace's backdoors and down the path leading to the garden out back. White benches were lined up on rows on a green patch of land. Vases with various flowers were situated at the end of each bench. Sitting amongst the guests were Lianna and her parents, Selene Redna, Lucas and his fiancèe Amelia. He should probably mention that Lucas failed at becoming Nathaniel's aide but thanks to Mikyle marrying into a foreign kingdom, Queen Consort Phillipa and her father, Grand Duke Langston, agreed to make him the Grand Duke's heir.
Tessia and her father were also seated in the crowd. Both of them wore wide grins and Seo-jun was pretty sure he saw tears in their eyes.
Mikyle and Seo-jun slowly walked down the path until they came to a stop in front of Liona and Savion, who were officiating their marriage. Savion, just like his sister and father, had unshed tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Seo-jun Ratcliff Le Shigaron and Mikyle Langston Le Valron," Liona smiled, her voice carrying out to the audience. "Do you both agree to take on the responsibilities of this kingdom and its people while standing together as one?"
"Yes," the two of them said at the same time.
Another thing that had changed during those two years was his name, at least on paper anyway. His parents had fully agreed and understood where he came from when he told them that he wanted to continue going by the name Seo-jun.
"Do you promise to confide in and to rely on one another for all of eternity until you take your last breath?"
"Yes," they said once again.
"I now pronounce you as Seo-jun Ratcliff Le Shigaron and Mikyle Valron Le Shigaron," Liona beed a brilliant smile, her blue eyes twinkling with unimaginable happiness.
The two of them turned toward the guests and gave a bow. It was now time for the hard part, greeting everyone.
. . . . .
Seo-jun plopped down onto his bed face first, not even caring that he was still wearing his formal wear. "Ugh, I don't think I could ever go through that again."
Mikyle crawled overtop of him. "Good, because I was never going to allow you a second spouse."
Seo-jun turned over with a chuckle and wrapped his arms around Mikyle's neck. "I couldn't handle a second one. Your stamina is more than I can handle."
"Don't say that. We have yet to begin our honeymoon." Mikyle leaned down and pressed a kiss to Seo-jun's temple.
Seo-jun groaned. He had forgotten all about that. "Can it wait until tomorrow?"
"Sure," Mikyle easily agreed, surprising Seo-jun with how easy he gave up. . .until he spoke his next words. "I'll completely devour you tomorrow and the next day and the day after that. But for today, I'll settle for just a taste." He then pressed his lips onto Seo-jun's briefly before making his way down to the zipper on Seo-jun's trousers.
This was looking to be a long night. One that he had been secretly looking forward to for a long time.
