“Your Highness, the Crown Princess, we shall attend to your bath.”
Two young maids of the royal palace knelt side by side to greet Serena. But she was hesitant to expose her naked body to strangers, so she naturally looked toward Anna.
“Your willingness is appreciated, but today I’ll handle my own bath. Please go check the bedroom for any necessities.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
As the maids left, Serena immersed herself in the warm water and looked at Anna.
“Thank you.”
She would get used to the new maids someday, but today, if it wasn’t Anna, she wouldn’t have it any other way. She’d thought marriage meaningless, but it was strange how suddenly she wanted to act like a newlywed.
“Really… did His Highness the Crown Prince agree to tonight’s arrangement?”
Anna asked cautiously. Lucas had never hidden his affection and desire for Serena in Astel territory. It was hard to understand how such an agreement was possible.
“Yes. He will just stay in the bedroom. Nothing will happen.”
Serena stated firmly. Normally, she would’ve wanted to give a whole lecture about what marriage was, but today didn’t seem to be the day for that.
Anyway, they were wed now, and the future was yet to be seen.
“I count on you for tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry.”
A relieved Serena briefly blinked her eyes lazily. Anna meticulously bathed her and dried her wet body with a towel.
“What should I do now?”
“Please put on the nightgown from Her Majesty the Empress, and after I comb your hair, everyone will leave the bedroom.”
The bride on the wedding night could only wear a white nightgown. It seemed like a cautionary measure from chaotic times past, lest the noble groom get injured.
Of course, Serena had left a bruise on Lucas’s calf even without a weapon, so it didn’t make much sense.
“You look truly beautiful today.”
As Anna sincerely spoke, combing Serena’s hair in front of the vanity, her unadorned appearance was pure.
“Well, I’ll go now. If the Crown Prince arrives, ring the bell… Don’t be too nervous.”
Serena nodded. What remained was a matter for them alone. Anna and the maids paid their respects to the Crown Princess, who would have her wedding night, and left the room, firmly closing the door.
“What’s the point of being nervous when there’s nothing to do?”
Contrary to her mumbling, Serena was pacing the room. Then her eyes caught something that looked very useful.
“Good.”
Serena forcibly pulled out the long cylindrical pillow that was under the adjacent pillows and placed it in the middle of the bed.
“Tonight is about setting up barriers. It’d be best not to use this, but…”
Many couples ended up making history even if they had only planned to hold hands. However, with this barrier, drawing a line was easier.
Though a mere pillow couldn’t stop him, the moment Lucas crossed the line, he would meet Serena’s violence.
“It’s just in case.”
Serena had never shared a bed with anyone before. And if it were a man, it would be utterly unthinkable.
Fortunately, the bed was the largest and most spacious she had ever seen, but lying next to Lucas, sleep would likely not come easily.
When Cedric precisely whispered to Lucas at 10 o’clock, a smile naturally spread across his face.
He particularly liked that the guests at the banquet continued to mingle, yet respectfully refrained from speaking to him. Now was the moment for the groom to finally leave the banquet hall for today’s most exhilarating moment.
“Then.”
Lucas nodded at Duke Astel and discreetly left the banquet hall. Seeing him, one of the servants was already seen hastily getting into a carriage.
“Finally, this moment has come.”
Serena had been certain that nothing would happen tonight, just as she had previously asserted that she would never marry him. So, it was not unreasonable for some expectation to arise unconsciously.
“I will escort you to the Crown Princess’s quarters.”
Usually, Lucas would have ridden a horse, but today, he obediently followed the protocol and got into the carriage, lost in deep thought ever since.
“I will take you up to the entrance and will return tomorrow morning to escort you.”
He half-listened to Cedric’s words while recalling the moment the two had just exchanged wedding vows and kissed.
According to Serena, that was something that could absolutely never happen, so what lay ahead was unknown.
The newly married couple were already dreaming different dreams.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
