The ceremony ended and the celebration began. A feast began in their honor, much to Ido's disliking. He wanted to take Eona away, take her to some place with just the two of them. Eona flushed, sensing his lust, his need. As if to console him, she placed her hand on his, smiling sweetly towards him. Her husband. She was just as eager as he, those brief moments they shared in the past, their heated passion, filling her mind. The newlywed lowered her gaze as Ido stroked her hand with his thumb, a silent promise of what's to come tonight. Eona found herself excited by the promise, finally able to lie with her husband for the first time. The thought of his touch heated her face, a small giggle rising from within her.

Married.

I'm married.

The woman seated at the head of the table smiled upon everyone else below. It was wonderful to see their guests dancing and celebrating the union of their Dragoneye lord and lady. The empire was celebrating. And to congratulate the newlyweds, each dragon district is preparing their finest rooms, springs, and foods for the couple on their tour of the empire. They will all be welcome to every district. Even though the kingdom still had a mistrust for Ido, they still would allow the lovers to bed, bathe, and eat there. Eona smiled down at her lap. The kindness of the kingdom was beautiful.

Beside her, there was an impatient growl. It was Ido, clearly vying for his wife's attentions. How could anyone blame him? The woman he loved was paying more attention to her lap than him. Eona couldn't help but giggle, turning to face him and stroke his cheek with her hand.

"Somebody want attention?" She teased, her humor over the years increasing. She used to be so frightened and tense all the time. Now she moved with casual grace, only thoughts of tonight in her mind.

"Yes. All of it. I will die if you do not look at only me." Ido said in a dark tone, clutching her hand on his face, bringing it to his lips. Eona shivered. If she had chosen Kygo at the ceremony, Ido would have killed him. But she chose him over power and rank. That should be enough to quell Ido's feelings of unease. The thought of Kygo's death saddened Eona. She cared for him deeply. She was and still is his Naiso, and she promised to serve him with her power and her life. Just not her body.

"When you talk like that, you frighten me, husband." Eona replied, her words truth. Ido had once been a bad man obsessed with power. But now, it was different. She flushed as she said husband, smiling at him with adoration.

"I see. Well, my apologies. I wouldn't dare frighten my wife."

His words were sweet, making her heart beat a little faster. She brought his hands to her lips and kissed them, a show of her affection and loyalty. She loved him. She really loved this man. Suddenly, their moment was lost, interrupted by Chart. He grinned at her, holding out his hand.

"Dance with me Lady Eona!" He said with happiness lacing his voice. Eona looked to Ido, whom was regarding her friend with suspicion. With a roll of her eyes, she took Chart's hand, much to her husbands surprise. He gave her a bewildered look as she was pulled from him. Eona waved, blowing a kiss as she spoke before she was gone from him for the rest of the feast.

"Tonight."
