Chapter 58

• [Carnelia]
• With all of our preparations ready for tomorrow, Primus and I retired to our rooms, leaving the Sea Kingdom to their own devices as they continued to drink and gamble. Both Primus and I are so exhausted that we barely have enough energy to peel out of our clothing and climb into bed. Tomorrow is going to be another long day. So tonight hold on to one another, enjoying this moment of calm before the chaos of the morning.
• Lying on top of Primus' chest, he tells me about the wedding day There are so many steps involved in marrying royalty it is a wonder that anyone would choose this route, especially since it isn't required for the legitimacy of one's offspring. But as I see his eyes sparkle and glow as he goes over the details, I can see that this is something he has been dreaming about for a very long time. He was happy being mates, but he is so overwhelmingly ecstatic about us becoming wed. Even if it wasn't something we felt we needed to do at this moment, I think I would have had a hard time denying him this joy.
