Since the wedding bouquet had been concluded, both Darius and Lila returned to their chambers. This time, he didn't teleport instead he walked hand in hand with her while she looked at the castle in awe.
..
"Why didn't you tell me you were Darius Blackwood??"
"I didn't Darius said with a straight expression which made Lila upset
"Don't take me for a dumb person Darius. Is this the reason you didnt let me roam around before the wedding?"like I said earlier it was to protect you, you'd be in anger if you roam around the palace despite being my soon to be bride."
"And it's supposed to be better now because?"
"You're a queen Lila."" Darius said and Lila froze. She was a queen now indeed. Lila wanted to tell at him for keeping her in the dark but nothing came out. She knew it was to protect her so any attempts now would be like punching cotton.
"You should have at least told me. I was so stunned that I had a hard time keeping my composure" she said removing her shoes while laying exhausted on the bed.
"I'm sorry" he said and went to the dressing room. When he came out he was dressed in another attire...
"You're going somewhere?"
"Yes I have matters to attend to" with that he left without looking back. She was so angry hat she cried. It was their wedding night even though nothing happens should he not accompany her?
..
When Darius said he was busy, he was serious. He went to the rooftop and Paul was waiting for him there
"Your highness"
"Are all the preparations made??"
"Yes your highness" they soon started discussing strategies and before anyone realised it it was past midnight
..
It was almost five when he came back to his chambers
