"Do you need any help?" Lilac found Keira, early in the morning, in the throne room, checking the preparations for the ceremony that would take place in the evening, right an hour before the sun set. She was a dedicated Lycan. No wonder Jedrek gave this task to her. She was very detail oriented and simply a perfectionist.
Actually, Lilac didn't know much about the ceremony, but thanks to Keira, she gave her a rundown of the entire event and let her memorize it.
Though Lilac didn't feel nervous before, but seeing that this ceremony was actually going to happen tonight, made her slightly dizzy. Especially when she witnessed the enthusiasm from all the people in the city last night and a few important figures in this realm that had come to attend this ceremony.
Now, seeing how majestic the decoration in this throne room, she felt slightly intimidated and reluctant. If she was given a choice right now, she wanted to postpone this event as long as she could.
Lilac didn't think she wanted this.
"Oh, my lady, you woke up early. Or, should I address you as my queen?" Keira asked in a respectful tone.
"Can you just call me by my name?" Lilac asked. She didn't feel comfortable to be addressed in that peculiar way.
"Of course I can't do that," Keira smiled softly, but her eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. It was easy to see that she couldn't wait for the ceremony tonight.
"I guess so," Lilac murmured. This was not her first attempt to ask Keira to call her by her name only, but the female lycan rejected it every time Lilac asked her. "What can I do to help? I woke up early and can't fall asleep again, I hope there would be something that I can do here."
Keira looked surprised, but then she smiled softly and touched Lilac's shoulder. "Thank you for your offer my queen, but you shouldn't be here."
Lilac cringed with the way Keira addressed her, but didn't bother to correct her again, she wouldn't listen. "All of you seem busy, why can't I help?"
"You will do no such thing." Jedrek walked into the throne room with a man with blonde hair, who was staring at Lilac.
She didn't like the way he looked at her.
"Why can't I?" Lilac's brows furrowed. She didn't like it when Jedrek was so adamant about her doing or not doing certain things, but she did know that once he had made up his mind it was hard to say otherwise.
"The ceremony is for you, you will not do such things." Jedrek walked closer and Lilac needed to crane her neck to maintain eye contact with him. "Bring her back to her room."
Lilac's frown deepened. She felt like Jedrek wanted to usher her away from this place.
If Jedrek didn't want her to help with the preparations, she could understand, but what was this feeling that as if Jedrek wanted to lock her away and didn't want her to roam around the castle? Or, is it just her imagination?
"What is your name, my lady?" the blonde man caught up with Jedrek and looked at Lilac with interest.
"She is your queen, not your lady," Jedrek corrected him, but Lilac sensed something in the way he talked to this strange man. "And her name is Lilac."
"It suits you well," he complemented her. "You are indeed a beauty."
"Thank you," Lilac mumbled and Jedrek didn't seem happy to hear that too.
"I will see you at the ceremony tonight," Jedrek said in a light tone, but from his eyes, Lilac could see that he didn't want her to stay any longer there.
A young servant approached her and smiled timidly. "My queen, over here please…" she said in a soft tone.
Despite understanding Jedrek's gestures, she didn't feel like she wanted to go back to her room and stay there until evening. It was still several hours left before the ceremony.
Lilac folded her arms across her chest and took a step back, she tried not to feel intimidated under Jedrek's fierce glare. However, before she could protest, Jedrek had closed the distance between them and leaned over.
Other people would think he was kissing her cheek, but actually the king was whispering something in her ear.
"If I find out you are not in your room, you will regret it," he said with some force and his tone was laced with urgency.
Lilac was still trying to understand the message behind his words, and fought her curiosity to find out more, though Jedrek didn't really treat her nicely, but he never threatened her that way.
When Lilac still didn't move, Jedrek gently pressed a kiss against her temple and her nose.
"Go back now," he said and let her go.
The young servant immediately walked toward her and grabbed her arm lightly so that she could lead the way out of the throne room.
This time Lilac obeyed his order and let the young servant drag her to leave, but she made a mental note to ask about this when she was alone with Jedrek.
==============
The young servant stayed inside Lilac's bedroom to make sure her future queen wouldn't sneak out and cause any more trouble.
"You can leave now," Lilac said exasperatedly. At this point, she became familiar with Jedrek's method to keep her inside her room.
Before, he used Tordoff to look after her and then Warlock and now this young servant, who seemed too timid to even make a sound.
"I am sorry my queen, but the king told me to stay here and look after you if you need something," she said in low voice, lowering her head the entire time.
Lilac didn't remember Jedrek was saying something to her, but then she realized, they must have communicated through the mind- link.
How convenience to be able to do that.
"Do you know the man from earlier?" Lilac asked her, perhaps she knew something. She wanted to find out more about this man, since she couldn't get rid of the way she felt when that blonde man looked at her.
