Agenor let go of Syrena's hand and then kissed her calf. A hot and cold sensation seemed to spread from Syrena's calf to the rest of her body.
[No, Syrena! This can't happen! Killing the prince was simply impossible! But you can kill yourself if you don't want that guy to take more advantage than a leg!]
Without thinking, Syrena reached the hair decoration in the form of a comb with a pointy tip that she tucked in her hair. With teary eyes, the brunette princess's hand was about to slit her own throat. But before the pointed end of the hidden weapon pierced her neck, Prince Agenor grabbed Syrena's hand and then twisted her hand so the secret weapon it slips out of Syrena's hand.
"Are you crazy?" The prince shouted angrily.
Syrena didn't dare return Prince Agenor's gaze. She just closed her eyes with tears streaming down her face.
[How dare you try to kill yourself when you're having sex with me! You can only die if I allow it!]
The black-winged man held both sides of Syrena's face. Now they are very close. Syrena could even feel the man's breath.
"Open your eyes! Why did you do that?" snapped the prince.
Syrena was opening her eyes while crying. Suddenly the prince kissed Syrena's lips forcibly. An unusual feeling seemed to sting all over the princess's body. Her heart was beating wildly. Did the kiss lull Syrena?
[No, Syrena! Wake up! Don't let this man take more than a kiss!]
The brunette princess hit the prince's chest. However, it seemed the punch was useless. Even Syrena was almost out of breath from the kiss.
As Prince Agenor's hands touched other parts of Syrena's body, the princess screamed in her heart.
[Please stop it! I don't want this to happen! Anyone, help me!]
A moment after that, the prince's eyes dimmed. His grip loosened too. Just then, Syrena pushed the black-winged prince's body.
With the back of her hand, Syrena wiped her wet lips. Her breath was panting, and her chest heaved. After sure, the black-winged man didn't move; Syrena dared to stare at the prince. The man's eyes were closed; he looked as unconscious as in the dining room.
Worried, Syrena slightly shook the prince's body beside her. He didn't wake up.
[All right, he faints again. Now it's time for me to go.]
Unexpected. Another grip startled Syrena as she was getting out of bed. The princess turned and stared at the man lying on the bed. The man's eyes were fiery red. Syrena remembered the demon spirit she met a few days ago.
"Hi!"
Syrena was stunned. In one glance, Syrena could understand that the man in front of her was not her husband. King Dione's daughter didn't want to have a conversation with the demon spirit. The princess retracted her hand.
"Please let me go. I'll go back to my room."
"What? You're on your honeymoon!"
"Unfortunately, this honey is too bitter for me."
Nyxe couldn't not but laugh when he heard Syrena's words. The demon spirit got up and sat by Syrena's side.
"Stay in this place. That way, you can make up a story about you spent this night with him." Nyxe smirked.
"You're right. All right, I'll start this charade."
"Come here!" Nyxe got out of bed and headed to the balcony. Out of curiosity, Syrena followed the footsteps of the black-winged man.
The full moon's light shone brightly from outside the room, making the prince's black wings shine.
"Have you ever heard about the myth of making love on the full moon night?" Syrena shook her head, not understanding.
"The full moon night is the best time for kings to make love. The myth was saying that the child born will become king."
"Get straight to the point. I don't understand what you're talking about."
"This man is the son of a slave girl whom the king raped while drunk on a full moon night."
"I don't care."
Syrena didn't know what was funny. The demon spirit in Prince Agenor's body laughed again.
"He will make you a queen if you can get his heart."
"Why should I? I've never made a throne my goal in life."
"But you are the king's daughter. Power and politics will be the closest things in your life until you die."
"Please don't talk about that anymore. I don't like it."
Syrena's face stared at the full moon. The moonlight made the princess's face shine even more.
Imprisoned, the one thing Syrena hated most about alliance marriage, and it happened. That was the reason she was not passionate about the throne and politics.
"What interesting thing would you like to talk about?"
"How did you come to be in Prince Agenor's body?"
"Didn't I already say that?"
"I mean, why are you in that potion?"
"It's a long story. But the point is, I was cursed for falling in love with a human, so I lost almost all my powers. I can't appear in human form for a long time until I drink your blood. The sensation feels like it awakens almost half of my energy."
The man beside Syrena was staring at Syrena's neck for a moment, making the princess blush. The demon spirit laughed again and stared at Syrena's movements. That night Syrena and Nyxe chatted for a long time until Syrena was asleep.
"If you're sleepy, we'd better go inside."
Syrena nodded and then entered the room. It seemed that the princess would fall asleep in a matter of seconds. Before her eyes closed, Syrena was surprised by Nyxe's presence at the princess's side.
"What are you doing? We'll talk another time! I'm going to sleep!"
"I know. I want to sleep too."
"But you can't sleep here!"
"Did you forget to play an act? If this guy wakes up and doesn't sleep in bed, he won't believe you! Don't worry; I won't do anything to you." Nyxe smirked.
[Whatever you say.]
The brunette princess had her back to the winged man beside her. Sure enough, not long after that, Syrena had a dream.
Before sleeping, Nyxe took off her clothes and then threw them carelessly. The winged man then hugged Syrena from behind and whispered, "You will be mine, forever."
