Hyunjin's pov

"Long may they reign!" The guests shouted as we entered the room that was filled with guests who were invited to our wedding feast

Chan and I brightly smiled, and Chan raised our hands, and everyone cheered for us, and we sat down by a large table

We sat in the middle, and chan's side was his family; the dowager queen, the princess and the prince, and on my side were sitting my lady, Jaehaera

Some noble people congratulated us and gave us gifts, and I also saw my parents lining up and eventually reaching us and I saw my mother standing with a swollen stomach, and my father held a gift

"May the god bless the king for a long reign" my father said to the king

"May the Goddess bless you two for a long life without sickness or death and the hope for new life like she did to me " my mother smiled as she looked down at her pregnant belly and they gave us the gift and they walked away

I smiled at Chan, and he smiled, and he kissed my forehead

Soon, a dance started, and some lords invited me to dance with, but I denied them all saying, "I can't dance"

"Can I have this dance from you?" Chan joked de I giggled

"We did a dance before" he said

"Okay, you can have this, my husband" I smiled, and chan smiled

Chan took my hand, and we walked to the middle of the room, and everyone gathered around us

Chan bowed down, and he kissed my hand, and I blushed

He put on his arm behind my back, and he stretched out  with my hand, we danced

It was like the first time we danced when I met him and he didn't want to marry me for love but for duty, alliances between our houses

However, this time was different, is it love? This time

"What are you thinking, love?" He whispered as he twirled me around

"Nothing." I smiled and he smiled

Soon, the music stopped, and the men started to thank their dance parents with a kiss on their hands, chan did too

He pulled me to him, and we smiled at each other

"Let's begin the bedding ceremony!" Suddenly, someone shouted, and they started to pull away from each other

"What's happening?" I thought as few men pulling me away from chan while he got dragged away from me

"Stop this!" He said but they didn't

"STOP THIS!" He yelled, and they immediately stopped, and they let us go, so I quickly walked back to chan

He took me into his arms, and he comforted me with stroking my back

"But your grace, it's a tradition what should be followed," a wealthy Lord said, and the others discussed it

"I don't care if it's a tradition or not but can't you see you've upset my husband" Chan snapped back at him and the lord quickly shushed his mouth

"My son, it's our tradition to have a bedding ceremony.. it is too consumed the marriage" the dowager queen said while walking to us

Chan sighed

"I think it's time to break this ridiculous tradition" chan said and everyone gasped

"But son-"

"No mother, you don't make the rules anymore and I'm gonna make a rule to stop this tradition" Chan cut her off

"Are you okay, sweetheart?" He asked me and I nodded and I pulled away from him

"My first new rule is that there is not going to be a bedding ceremony anymore and the couple can choose if they want" Chan spoke while intertwining our hands

Most guests were shocked, but some were relieved about Chan's new discussion

"Now excuse us, we are going to leave" Chan said, and he pulled with him to walk away from the feast

After a few minutes

We were currently in Chan's chamber, and I sat on his bed while chan was walking back to the fourth in his room talking to himself

"Chan?" I suddenly asked, and he looked at me

"Yes, love?" He said as he looked at me

"What's a bedding ceremony?" I asked and I looked at him

"Well it's an old tradition and provide evidence if the marriage is consummated or not" he said and he walked to me

"You mean the first time?" I asked him

"Making love?" I added and he crouched down in front of me and he nodded

"Yes, my love" He said

"Why didn't you want it?" I asked him

"Because I don't like people watching us while we are doing something special, it's only meant for us, you and me." The last part, he whispered with a smile, and he stroked my hand

"And what if I want to do it?" I whispered, and he looked at me confused

"I would love too but I don't want make you feel uncomfortable or unpleasant with it and you're young" he said and I slowly put my hands under face and I make him to look at me

"I want to do it, I want to make love with you" I whispered with a smile

"You sure?" He asked me

"Yes, I'm sure my sweet king" I said and he softly smiled

"You're too gentle for this world" he whispered

"Well let's get undressed then and make love" he smiled and I smiled
