"Starting tonight, do not rip my dresses like usual... They are very expensive and took a long time to make one! I will remove them for you..." She declared and slowly stripped out of her clothing!

Prince Andrew gulped while seeing her slowly get rid of her clothing, piece by piece! His heart beats faster and soon he could not help but lick his lips in anticipation! After she removed the last piece of her clothing, he immediately grabbed her, embraced her tightly, and kissed her eagerly as he positioned himself on top of her! There is no way he is going to allow her to reject him now after teasing him so much! He will make her pay for all of his difficulties these days! And so they tumbled on the sheets from night to dawn... Letting their bodies unite and express what is truly inside their hearts!

After that, they went back to their normal routine during the day and live as husband and wife every night. The motivation and happiness of Prince Andrew are very apparent as he performed his princely duties.

Every night, Prince Andrew carries her in his arms and they secretly go out of the imperial palace to visit different places like a lake, river, sea, forest, mountain, and the likes then go back to the palace at midnight. Other people refrain from strolling in the darkness of the night with only the faint moonlight as the illumination but for some reason, the darkness and coldness of the night have its charm to Beatrix, especially she is together with a very seductive and protective Prince Andrew!

Like now, they are sitting on the beach under the light of the beautiful blue moon. She leaned on his shoulder while his arm encircled on her back.

"Beatrix, my Love, why don't we marry earlier?" He convinced her to move their wedding earlier. They are already living like a married couple but he wants their union to be legal and the nature of their relationship to be open and acceptable to everyone. He does not want to hide anymore!

"What is wrong with waiting for another ten months?" She chuckled as she directed her eyes to the sea. "We should not make things difficult for everyone by moving our intended wedding date earlier than the schedule."

"You are not trying to run away from me, are you?" He seemed suddenly suspicious.

She laughed heartily then kissed him lovingly. This is her simple way of assuring him that she will marry him willingly at the right time. He responded to her kiss fervently, making her understand how much he is truly looking forward to their wedding.

In Martell's Mansion, Alrick visited his sister's courtyard.

"Sister, you are still sulking?" He asked Erica, who is still crying her eyes out.

"Brother, Prince Andrew broke my heart!" She immediately confessed to her brother then continue crying.

Alrick clenched his hands as he remembered Beatrix's words earlier. Beatrix suddenly changed! Previously, she told him that she is not willing to marry Prince Andrew and even planning to break the betrothal. He felt very happy and offered his help but she refused and told him to keep her secret. He does not know how she is going to do that but he is looking forward to the cancellation of the betrothal.

He loves Beatrix and wants to marry her but she is already betrothed to Prince Andrew so he needs to keep his true feelings and intentions for a long time and pretend that he is just her friend while secretly praying and waiting for the cancellation of her betrothal before he could ask for her hand in marriage...

But earlier, he was extremely shocked and devastated when Beatrix told him that her relationship with Prince Andrew had improved greatly and she is now looking forward to their upcoming wedding!

Not going to let it happen!!!

He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands as he thought of a solution.

"Sister, do you want to marry Prince Andrew and become a Princess and future Empress of Sky Empire?" He tempted his sister.

"Yes, but how?! Prince Andrew does not love me!" Erica wailed.

"Sister, I know what to do but I need your participation..." He told her and then slowly narrated his plan to his sister. A plan that he strongly believed to give him the leverage to marry Beatrix and his sister to marry Prince Andrew! A win-win situation for him and his sister!

Beatrix smiled as she tasted the food that she cooked for her beloved Prince Andrew. He asked her to cook one of his favorite food. The first time she cooked it, he enthusiastically ate it so she was convinced that she is a talented cook but when she tasted her cooking... She immediately got a basin and vomited all of the food she ingested earlier!

Damn! It tastes like hell! How can he eat five bowls of it when I could not even swallow one spoon?!!

Her heart ached for him so she hurriedly snatched the remaining food to throw it away before he died of food poisoning but Prince Andrew snatched it back and ate all of it!
