It’s been two weeks since the wedding – Baekhyun and Nami have been congratulated left and right during the wedding and after. Her people have been sending their gifts of gratitude to congratulate them. Her parents and his had asked them to move into the same chamber – or rather have Baekhyun move into her chambers temporarily. At least until they make their journey to Korea. Of course, they couldn’t object because the Kings and Queens are their parents – and they’re husband and wife.

Her coronation; however, have already taken place a week prior and her parents have stepped down as King and Queen of Astelin and Miralin. She was now the Queen of Astelin and Miralin – the first female in her family to be Queen. Everything has gone according to planned – her staff prepared a parade through Astelin, where several shouted for the new Queen. Her tiara was replaced by a crown that was double the size of the tiara she was used to. The throne seat was now hers to take a seat in rather than her parents. Everything was all so new for her. Her father’s advisors have now turned to her – giving all the rights to any war strategies, any decisions for the countries, etc.

“Can I stay here?” Nami whined while stomping over to her cousin, Dongmin, with pouting lips. Dongmin looked up from the book he had been reading as his brows rose into question. “Nana, you can’t hide from him forever. What are you going to do when I return to Veralida?” He questioned and she only whined more.

Please?” She pleaded, plopping onto his bed beside him where he leaned against the headboard. His legs crossed at the ankles with his book in his lap. The Nation’s Jewel Prince gazed at her; brows knitted.

She knew that, eventually, she was going to have to face Baekhyun. Even with their arrangements – they didn’t go as far as to be in separate chambers in Astelin. Only in Korea, whenever their journey there was. “After I return home, what are you going to do then?” “Hide from my husband forever. Goodness, the word is so foreign,” she commented, nose scrunched up at the word. Dongmin simply laughed, shaking his head. “Fine,” he replied while shaking his head once again at the sound of her logic. “just for tonight, am I clear?”

The brunette smiled, cheering with a small wiggle.

“You’re ridiculous, Nana.”

“Anna,” Baekhyun called out while looking to the maid cleaning up whatever she could in the room. She turned to Baekhyun with a bow to her head. “Have you seen the Queen anywhere?” Anna blinked, dipping her head with a nod. She finished tidying up Nami’s clothes as she turned back to the – now – King of Astelin and Miralin. “Lady Irene had mentioned that Queen A
