Wife of The Demon Prince
Chapter 262: Coronation

Chapter 262: Coronation

The next day, Hamon’s coronation ceremony took place. As the throne could not remain empty for long. The ceremony was quickly organized and held in the largest cathedral in the kingdom. The high priest oversaw the proceedings, while the officials and some of the nobles of Findara gathered in one place to watch the rare generational occasion. Since it wasn’t everyday that a new king was crowned.

Soon, Hamon and Ara walked side-by-side towards the red carpeted aisle, making their way to towards the throne seats where the priest stood. Hamon wore a long red flowing royal mantle, that flowed behind him, while Ara wore a full golden dress with it’s hem sweeping the floor. The pair reached the priest and bowed at the same time, before standing before the throne seats.

The priest began the ceremony. Hamon knelt down on the aisle and made his coronation oaths, then the priest took the king’s crown from the crown pillow while saying, "I hereby present unto you Oh citizens of Findara, Hamon De Biville your new king!" He then carefully placed the crown onto Hamon’s head. The priest did the same to Ara before placing the queen’s crown on her head as well.

After crowning the new ruler, the priest’s voice echoed through out the grand, high-ceilinged cathedral, "Today marks the ascension of the fourteenth king of Findara, king Hamon De Biville!"

The moment Hamon sat on the throne after the declaration, the officials and nobles bowed and echoed in unison, "Hail his majesty, the king of Findara!"

"Hail her majesty, the queen of Findara!"

Ara watched the scene after she was seated down with emotion rising up to her throat, her eyes burned with happy tears. In their last life, the throne was seized by Cornell after his rebellion. This time, however Hamon had proudly taken his rightful place.

She glanced at her husband seated next to her, in his all glorious king’s attire and crown resting proudly on his head. Her gaze lingered over his rich, silver hair, his thick lashes towering over his red eyes, straight nose, and finally his tightly pressed lips. Her husband’s stature was above everyone else.

And his overwhelming predatory aura... He was hers forever. She mused with a faint smile.

As if sensing Ara’s gaze, Hamon turned his head towards her, and when their eyes locked, a charming smile graced his face, making his dimples press deeply. Her heart soared at this very moment. Despite all the hardships they’d both suffered in their past life, it was now worth it being together.

Ara kept her gaze fixed on him and muttered softly, "I love you." At her words, Hamon’s smile broke into a grin as if he couldn’t contain his joy, "I love you more, my wife." He muttered back, and Ara’s smile widened.

The coronation ceremony soon ended, and after it, a magnificent banquet was held in the palace to celebrate the new king’s ascension. The banquet hall was filled with guests. As the celebration soared in the hall, Hamon who was speaking to some officials managed to slip away from them. He glanced around and found his wife.

Ara, who was greeting some guests was suddenly pulled away by Hamon, he made towards the exit and they walked towards their residence. Ara was slightly bewildered as she followed him without a word.

When they reached the corridor to their chamber, all the guards standing like statues bowed at them, "Hail your majesties!"

Hamon cut the guards greeting and spoke in an authoritative tone, "Make sure nobody comes near our chamber for the whole tonight."

"Yes, Your majesty!" The guards bowed together.

Ara glanced up at Hamon, "Why did you_"

"Have you forgotten we have a contract term to complete tonight?"

Ara’s eyebrows knitted together, "What do you mean?"

"Aiya, my wife. Have you forgotten about our agreement on the contract. Now let’s go to our chamber first."

"...!" Ara blushed hotly as she realized what he was taking her to do in their room. Hamon gently pinched her flushed cheek, "So beautiful. You look more beautiful with blushing cheeks, and in this golden dress..." He caressed her cheek with the back of his hand, "You’ve been tempting me the entire time inside the hall."

"You...!" Before Ara could speak, Hamon had slightly bent over and carried her in his arms. She was startled at his sudden action, "H-Hamon, you are now a king, you shouldn’t behave like this anymore_"

"Shh, Your legs are too short, you will slow me down and we wouldn’t reach our chamber in time...I am at my limit already. Now be a good girl and stay put."

Ara pursed her lips, "Hamon, I don’t have short legs! I am taller than average women." She hit his chest.

"Alright, my wife is not short." He laughed as he received a deadly glare from his wife. Hamon eagerly carried Ara to their chamber, the moment he entered, he used his leg to slam the door shut behind them. He immediately sat her down and wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed his lips against hers in a heated kiss. It was a wet kiss, as if he wanted to quench a terrible thirst, his behavior seemed so desperate that she thought he’d devour her.

He grabbed her hips and pressed her body to his as if she wasn’t close enough. She didn’t even realize when they reached the bed until she felt the softness of the mattress against her back. He pressed his teeth light on her bottom lips, then sucked on it again. His hands skillfully began to peel off her dress, and she responded to his touch.

Heat stirred up in her body, and it settled below her abdomen. Ara’s hands found his shirt and began to unbutton it while she responded to his desperate kiss, she pulled off his shirt and threw it across the room. She ran her hands on his taut torso, she felt the hardness of his abs on her palms.

As Hamon pulled away to help her out of the dress, Ara’s eyes fell on the middle of their bed the space where the long pillow used to be, "Hamon, when did you remove the pillow?"

Hamon smirked, then swiftly pulled off the dress from her shoulders, "Didn’t I tell you I’d burn it immediately after my coronation? Well, it’s ashes now." He whispered then placed a kiss on her exposed neck.

"You really burned it?" She breathed. And he hummed against her skin, "Mhm, I was serious when I told you I’d burn it." He grinned as he pulled back to fully draw her dress down to her ankle, "I wonder how you feel in such a dress with too much layers...I can’t imagine how uncomfortable you must feel wearing it everyday." He threw the dress across the room as if it had wronged him. And Ara couldn’t help but smile,

"You’re right, it is uncomfortable, but I’m getting used it already in this lifetime..." She muttered softly. In their last life she was always in her soldier’s attire in Greenwood, but returning to the past, she’d started to get used to wearing dresses even though it felt uncomfortable.

"You don’t have to wear it if you don’t want to, I don’t mind whatever you wear. My wife is beautiful in everything she wears." He kissed her shoulder, "Tonight, I will make love to you just like we agreed in our contract terms."

"But haven’t we already consummated our marriage..."

Contrary to their so called contract terms, they’d already had their first time in the cabin, not just that, they’d had their second time at the inn.

Hamon pulled back from nibbling her neck, "It doesn’t matter whether it’s the first time or the third time, a contract is a contract and we can’t go back on it since we’ve signed it. So let’s do it like it’s our first."

"You..." She wanted to call him a cheater, but he was fast to cover her mouth with his, his tongue invaded her mouth, sucking and nibbling her lips, as his hands found her breast while his knee gently pressed between her parted thighs. Now that he knew her weakness, he played her body easier than the first time they were together, coaxing shivers down her sensitive inner skin.

His caresses and strokes were sweet, it made her toes curl up. Small moans slipped her lips as he lowered his head to lightly place kisses on her belly then down, making her shiver uncontrollably beneath him.

Hamon brought his head back to her face, and she peered at him through half-hooded eyes, and he grinned like a satisfied predator at her reaction to what he was doing to her body.

"I have been looking forward to tonight since this morning, and I couldn’t even wait for the banquet to end." He murmured against her throat, fanning her with his warm breath.

Ara pursed her lips, "You have become more naughty lately..."

Hamon chuckled, "So are you, my wife. And I can’t resist you, if it’s possible I want to make love to you everyday and night."

"You are_" he kissed her then pulled back, "I am what?" He asked in a sultry voice.

Ara looked at her husband with a bashful expression. He always acted like she was a delicacy he couldn’t resist everytime they were in bed. Although it wasn’t her first time with him, but she couldn’t help but feel shy as he gazed at her affectionately.

Hamon smiled softly and leaned down to gently kiss her eyelids, then both her cheeks, then her nose, before moving to her lips, he kissed her gently, he was so gentle that she couldn’t bear it. Her heart tickled like it was their first just like he’d said.

Therefore, she opened up to him like a flower blooming in spring. There was no more conversation between them, the whole night Hamon made love to her like it was their first and last, and they were the only ones existing in the world. Not until almost dawn did she pass out due to exhaustion, and he cuddled her in his arms.
