Chapter ?274 It's A Big Day For You

A shock of white feathers caught Tania's movement. She peeked above at the sky and saw that Anastasia was flying over the orchards, her wings spread out wide open. Her lips curled up and she felt like joining her right now.

Eltanin kissed her forehead as he chuckled. "You can fly too once I have proclaimed you. I want people to get the shock of their life that you are a half fae and my mate." He said proudly. "After today, you can just be what you are." This was one of the reasons that he wanted to reveal it to everyone, so that she didn't have to resist her natural instincts.

"Thank you, Elty," she said with a smile and wrapped her arms around his chest. "I love you!"

Suddenly, smoke and shadows burst behind her and she stepped away from Eltanin.

Ileus and the very disgruntled Fafnir and Alrakis emerged from them. While Fafnir stumbled on the ground as soon as the shadows faded, Alrakis leaned against a tree and caught his stomach to gulp in air and pop his ears.

"This is the last time I am saying Prince Ileus," grunted Alrakis. "You will not carry me like this anywhere."

Ileus smirked. "Get used to it, Alpha Alrakis. This is what I am always going to do when I am around."

Fafnir caught his chest as he rose to his feet. Appearing and disappearing with Ileus was getting crazy. Over the last two days, Ileus had taken him everywhere in the Draka Kingdom only in this way. He would find himself surrounded by the shadows and smoke and then travel at such a high speed that it threatened to crack him bones, but the time he would be at the intended place, he would end up retching. For the first few times, he vomited. He even requested Prince Ileus not to do it with him, but the man was so arrogant that Fafnir was on the edge now.

Fafnir managed to gulp in lots of air before he could even see around. Once he settled against a tree trunk, he looked at Eltanin. He dipped his chin in order to bow to him because if he would have actually bowed, he was sure he would have fallen to the ground.

In a hoarse voice he said, "I have already started the preparations of the ceremony. The priest will be here in an hour. The whole palace is in complete shock. But we are managing it." Fafnir's gaze finally landed on Tania and he smiled. She had beautiful wings which he wanted to inspect. He was too scared to go near Princess Anastasia because of her ever-growling husband. But Tania—she was like his sister. "Those are mesmerizing. Can I touch them?"

Before he could go to her, Alrakis was already there. "I am so glad that things turned out the way they did," he said as he placed his hands on her shoulders. The glow on his son's face was evident. The blue aether that would appear only sometimes, seemed to be a permanent feature. His features were so prominent and he looked… divine. "I can't thank you enough for doing what you did for Eltanin. No other woman would have given this gift to him and though I used to be angry with him all the time for not getting married, now I think that was the wisest decision he took. He waited for you."

Tania blushed at the open praise that she received from her father-in-law. "I had to do it for him. He is my mate."

"You are so different from your father…" Alrakis remarked affectionately. The irony was not wasted on him. After Eltanin had mind linked with his father and Fafnir about his decision to declare Tania as his queen, the first thing that Alrakis did was to send a message to Pegasii about it. "It reminds me that they will be coming here very soon."

"Thank you!" she rasped.

Anastasia landed on the ground. Tucking her wings at her back, she rushed to meet Tania. "You look lovely!" she said and hugged her. "And your husband looks like the way he should have looked, always!" Tania laughed. But she knew what Anastasia meant.

"Come," Alrakis said to them. "We all must go to the palace where I am sure things are going to get out of control unless I don't go back!" He had taken the responsibility on his shoulders to carry out the ceremony. It goes without saying that Fafnir was the one who got most of the brunt.

Ileus was about to burst in the shadows when Alrakis glared at him. "No!" he shouted, but it was too late. They found themselves in the main hall with Alrakis shouting, "I am going to kill this wolf one day!"

All the servants stopped at that time as they looked at their king. More than that, they stared at the little fae who was standing by his side. And she was blushing heavily. They all knew that she was the Princess of Pegasii, but it was the first time they saw her with her wings. Excitement ran through all of them. She was so much better than Princess Morava. Standing beside their king, she looked like his perfect match.

"Go about your work!" Alrakis yelled at them and they all dispersed immediately.

Eltanin turned to her, grinning. He said, "Go and get dressed, love. The treasures of Draka are open for you. You can wear as much jewelry as you want. It also belongs to you now."

Tania was still feeling surreal. This was happening and wasn't a dream. She was finally recognized as Eltanin's wife. "What about you?"

"I will be in the throne hall, waiting for you."

"Won't you get dressed too?"

Alrakis intervened. "It is customary for the king not to see the queen until coronation for at least two days. In your case, it would be no more than two hours."

"Oh!"

Anastasia grabbed her hand and winked. "Come. Let's get you dressed. I have to create portals for your parents after that. It's a big day for you, Tania."
