Accalia stood in front of a round well in the palace backyard. She placed her two hands on it, releasing what appears to be smoke inside the well.
However, she abruptly came to a halt and waved her right hand in the air, causing a wall with a door to appear.
"Come in, brother." She murmured and King Ephrin appeared.
"Is the barrier strong enough now?" Ephrin asked, and Accalia step away from the well.
"For the time being, yes, but we both know that if word gets to him that you've found your mate, it won't last long before he break through the barrier." Ephrin sighed as Accalia spoke.
"What did you see during the dinner?" Ephrin looked at Accalia, hoping to hear something encouraging.
"I saw nothing, but I felt a strong energy that I found strange. A human with so much energy."
"You saw nothing? Ephrin asked finding it hard to believe either.
"So that means history is going to repeat itself again?" Ephrin asked, but Accalia looked away.
"I'm sorry, brother."
Ephrin frowned, turned, and left after hearing Accalia's word.
He strolled back to his room with a cold expression, but the coldness quickly disappeared as soon as his eyes landed on Raina.
"Thanks for sending my father back"
Raina said to Ephrin as he entered the room.
"Hm" he murmured and walked straight to the washroom, shutting the doorway in a sensitive bang.
Riana walked around the bed and fell on it, laying on all as she take in the emperor's scent on the bed.
"Hm, he's not quite as horrifying as society portrays him," Raina thought as her mind flashed back to what her father said outside the castle.
"Raina, the emperor, is innocent; he is not as evil as society believes. You are the key to his salvation, and the Red ones will hunt you down if they discover who you are. You must not tell anyone for the time being."
Those words lingered more important than anything else to Raina as she puff out some air.
"Is father right? If the emperor isn't evil, maybe i should endeavor to get to know him and i could prove to everyone that he's a decent man."
Raina's thoughts were disrupted when she saw two feet standing close to the bed with water spilling on the floor.
She bit by bit raised her head and her jaw dropped at the sight that she saw before her. She gulped as she stared at him.
Ephrin stood naked before Raina, a towel dangling loosely and very low around his waist, water dripping from his exposed, but very ragged chest causing Raina's hand to inch forward to feel it, but she made a strong effort to keep herself back.
She bit her lower lip, trying to keep her cool.
* Save me, Moon Goddess, and assist me in resisting this temptation*
Raina murmured as her body heated up seeing him; she doesn't know if she can fight this, even with the moon goddess's help.
* I need to run my hand over that sexy chest* Leia moaned lethargically to Raina, and Raina could almost see Leia sticking out her tongue in assumption.
Raina responded, "Me too."
*Then why are you holding it together? *Get him! * Leia exclaimed.
As if possessed by Leia, Raina bounced up immediately and moved closer to him, she reached out her hands and started reaching his face.
She shut her eyes unshakably as she was feeling his face.
Her lips quirked up in a satisfied smile yet the second was cut short and her eyes snapped open as she heard the emperor cleared his throat.
Raina got back to her senses and promptly took out her hand and made a little space between them.
"ummm.. sorry" she stuttered and cleared her throat.
Embarrassment was getting the best of her, and she wouldn't even look up.
The emperor started taking sluggish steps towards her, making her take slow steps back too.
"It seems like you can't wait to officially be my mate, right?" he asked, more like command.
"what? N-no.. you got it all wrong." Raina shook her head.
"I.. w.. was … " a shout left her mouth as she hit the bedframe and was falling.
She brought her hand out to grab the emperor's hand for help, but she got the edge of his towel and pulled it along.
A very low growl left Ephrin's mouth. Raina bounced up quickly only for her eyes to land on Ephrin's pen*s.
"s**t!" She whispered, still not moving her eyes away. perhaps her eyes were frozen.
"Have you seen enough?" his question pulled Raina back to her senses.
He snatched the towel from her and wrapped it over his waist, he pointed a reproving finger at her.
"You are… "
"I..w..was..umm..I'm sorry." she gulped.
"I better sleep somewhere else " she breathe in and out and ran out in embarrassment.

Next Morning!
Arcadia and Aurora burst through the door, skating in with joy.
They grinned when they saw Raina wearing the outfits Arcadia had chosen for her.
Aurora praised Arcadia and exclaimed, "Ooh, my beloved sister is certainly the queen of fashion."
"Greetings, your majesties." Raina gave them a slight bow in greeting.
Arcadia said to her, "Come on, you don't have to do that since you're the Queen. now."
“Oh?”
Yes, a simple "good morning" will do."
"good morning, Aurora and Arcadia.
Good morning to you, future queen." Together, Aurora and Arcadia said.
Aurora snatched Raina's hand and dragged her along, saying, "Come on, let's join the king and the other for breakfast."
Before Raina could say something, Aurora and Arcadia dragged Raina from the room.
"I believed the king and the Fairy queen are in meeting. Why is he eating breakfast right now?
He postponed the appointment with the Fairy queen that was scheduled for the morning because it was the first day he was sending you to school, and He mustn't be late, said Aurora.
Raina nodded, shut her eyes, and mentally sighed, hoping she could just snap her fingers like a fairy and be in her classroom right now.
