The Magical Spell to Wake the Sleeping Prince

"Oh dear, why aren't you up yet?"

Aemeath looked at A-Yan, who was determined to play the role of 'Sleeping Beauty' to the very end, and she was absolutely charmed by his cuteness.

Since he so desires to enjoy being awakened, she, as his soon-to-be wife, naturally has to fulfill his wish.

Aemeath stopped drawing circles on Lu Yan's chest.

She slightly raised her head, the cunning and mischievousness in her eyes fading, replaced by an intense, unyielding tenderness.

She gazed at the face before her, a face she could never tire of looking at, and murmured a whisper that only she could hear, "I just can't do anything with you, my little darling."

Aemeath placed a finger on her chin and muttered to herself, "Since His Highness is sleeping so soundly that he can't even hear the princess calling... then we'll have to use magic to wake him up."

Without hesitation, Aemeath leaned down and gently kissed the sleeping prince who was lying there.

The moment her soft lips touched Lu Yan's, she could clearly feel Lu Yan's body tremble violently.

The kiss was neither passionate nor aggressive; it was as pure and refreshing as dew.

Aemeath's lips gently lingered and caressed Lu Yan's lips.

She felt the warmth and softness of his lips, and his slightly rapid breathing from being kissed.

What started as a tentative attempt to awaken him turned into a prolonged kiss because of the special nature of the day.

It wasn't until Aemeath felt Lu Yan's hand, which had been restless and pretending to be dead, suddenly tighten and grip her lower back, trying to press her completely into his arms and turn the tables on her.

Like a kitten, Aemeath quickly ended the kiss a second before Lu Yan was about to take the initiative, and nimbly stepped back a distance.

"Pop."

Their lips parted, producing an ambiguous sound.

Aemeath looked at Lu Yan, who was still lying in bed but could clearly no longer pretend, and clasped her hands together in front of her chest.

She raised her chin, a bright smile on her face, and announced loudly in an exaggerated tone, as if she were performing a fairy tale:

"Ding ding ding ding~ Time's up!"

Little Aemeath has given the sleeping prince a kiss of true love. The spell is off, prince, it's time to wake up!

Hearing these sweet words, Lu Yan gave up pretending to be asleep.

His eyes snapped open instantly, devoid of any lingering sleepiness, filled instead with the pleasure of triumph and his love for her.

"Since Her Highness the Princess has personally offered a kiss, then as a prince, there is indeed no reason for me to continue sleeping with her."

As Lu Yan spoke, he braced himself on the mattress with both hands and sat up completely.

His pajamas were slightly disheveled from Aemeath's earlier movements, revealing his collarbone and chest.

But he didn't care at all; instead, he turned his head and looked at Aemeath sitting next to him.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something amusing, a mischievous glint flashed in Lu Yan's eyes.

He adapted to Aemeath's character setting.

Lu Yan straightened his back with great deliberation, then raised his arms, bent his elbows, and struck a pose in mid-air to show off his biceps.

He deliberately tensed his arm muscles to make the lines more defined, then turned his head, raised an eyebrow at Aemeath, and said with a teasing smile:

"Hmm, the princess's kiss really works."

Lu Yan maintained that pose while nodding earnestly. "I feel incredibly energetic right now, full of power. I feel like I could fight a dragon right now!"

Aemeath paused for a second, then a clear, melodious laugh finally escaped her throat.

"Pfft... Hahahaha~~~"

Aemeath laughed so hard she almost fell over, tears welling up in her eyes.

She laughed as she reached out and lightly patted Lu Yan's outstretched arm without any hesitation.

"Oh my god, A-Yan, you look so silly! You're not a prince, you look more like a bodybuilding coach!"

Aemeath laughed so hard she fell onto the bed, her long pink hair spreading out on the pillow like a blooming pink cloud.

Lu Yan looked at her adorable, unrestrained laughter and wasn't annoyed. Instead, he simply stopped the pose.

He leaned forward, placing his hands on either side of her body, partially encircling her in his shadow. He looked down at her, his smile as gentle as a spring breeze.

"As long as it makes the princess happy, it doesn't matter what I am." Lu Yan's voice, slightly hoarse from just waking up, echoed softly above her.

Seeing Lu Yan's handsome face so close to hers, Aemeath's laughter gradually subsided.

Her cheeks were flushed with a beautiful blush from the laughter and the distance between them.

She reached out and gently placed her hands on Lu Yan's chest, feeling his heartbeat. His heartbeat, like hers, was much faster than usual.

Okay, okay, I'll stop fooling around.

Aemeath's voice softened, her tone dropping the joke and becoming more serious and solemn.

She looked into Lu Yan's eyes, his clear features reflected in them.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement.

Today is a very, very important day! We still have so much to do.

As Aemeath spoke, she gently nudged Lu Yan's chest, urging, "Hurry up and get out of bed to wash up. Then we need to have a big breakfast, otherwise we'll be hungry if we have to wait in line when we get there."

Sensing the expectation in Aemeath's tone, Lu Yan's teasing expression gradually subsided.

Following Aemeath's momentum, he stepped back from above her and sat up straight again on the edge of the bed.

The sunlight outside the window had just pierced through the clouds, casting even brighter light into the room.

The light fell on Lu Yan's profile, illuminating the affection in his eyes clearly.

He didn't get up from bed immediately, but instead grabbed the hand that Aemeath had just used to push him, and held it tightly in his warm palm.

Lu Yan gently stroked the back of Aemeath with his thumb, his gaze fixed intently on her.

"Um."

Lu Yan responded with an extremely soft yet forceful voice.

He looked at Aemeath before him and said, word by word, solemnly:

"Today... is the most important moment of our lives."

Yes, the most important moment of my life.

Looking into Lu Yan's deeply affectionate eyes, Aemeath grasped his hand and nodded firmly.

"Okay! Let's go, A-Yan!"
