It's been 3 months since we brought my uncle to justice and cleared my name. From what I hear he had served under my father and Alois for a time, and they made his life quite miserable. The Queen finally sent word for him to return to England, and he has been stripped of his title and no longer has any land to call his own. He now jumps from one noblewomens bed to the other, regardless if they're married or not. He's gonna get himself killed one of these days.

My father and my cousins stay at the Estate left to them by the Emperor until Lizzy is old enough to marry, Ciel. They see one another frequently.
Grell's Kimono shop has been bursting with customers and he has had to close down shop for a while until he can aquire more fabric.

Reaper is now captain of the police force and keeps everyone in line and loyal to the Empire. I even hear if they don't seem loyal, he tortures them and when he does loud laughter can always be heard.

Hannah and Mey-Rin have been called back to the palace to serve under a new soon to be royal and they were happy to oblige when they found out that the person they were to serve under...

Was me.

"Lady Lilly you're going to look beautiful!"

"Would you keep it down!? It's hard to concentrate on her wedding Kimono measurements with all that noise!"

"Sure is lively in here huh?"

"Hehe, it sure is."

Hannah, Mey-Rin, Grell and I all stand in the dressing room of the palace as I get measured for the wedding Kimono he's making for me.

"And done!" Grell says before gathering up the fabric and heading into the back.

"Lilly, are these flowers OK?"

Reaper comes in with a mountain of red roses, lilies, daffodils, and all sorts of other flowers. I blink at the shear amount of them all and give a nervous chuckle through a slight smile.

"I'm sure we can find a use for them all. Thank you, Reaper."

He nods with a slight grin on his face.

"LILLY! I BROUGHT YOUR JEWELRY!"

Shouts Lizzy in excitement as she rushes into the room and places a box full of jewels down onto the vanity.

"Oh my, that's quite a bit of jewelry."

"I couldn't decide which would suit you better so I brought them all!"

She exclaims while beaming up at me.

"I told you it was too much, Lizzy."

Says Ciel as he walks into the room behind her.

"I agree, but any jewel pales in comparison to Lady Lilly's beauty."

States Sebastian as he stands in the doorway of the dressing room with a sly smile.

Is it just me or is it getting awfully cramped in here?

"Ok, I've finished the touches to your- SEBASTIAN!"

Grell comes out and when he sees Sebastian, all other thoughts fly out the window. Grell has come to develop a crush for Sebastian ever since he first laid eyes on him, much to Sebastian's annoyance and irritation. He simply smiles at the enthusiastic man and bows before quickly retreating from the room.
We all laugh as a crestfallen Grell watches Sebastian's retreating figure.

Coming back to his senses, Grell walks over to me and helps me into my wedding Kimono/Dress. It's made of white silk and has little purple lilies sewn into it along the bodice and train.

"Perfect! Now all we need is the veil."

He looks around before finding the traditional Japanese wedding hat that has a veil of sheer white fabric hanging down in the front. He places it on my head to see how it all looks together and nods his head in approval.

"Well, my job here is done. I will see you all in the audience chamber."

With that he leaves as Hannah and Mey-Rin set about doing my hair and makeup. Mey-Rin puts my hair up in a bun and leaves two strands of hair to hang down and frame my face. Hannah puts a light dusting of white power on my face to make me look slightly more pale before painting my lips red and applying a lavender shadow to my eyes, she then uses a black liner and applies it to my top and lower lid, brining it to a point to make my lashes seem longer. Once they're done they nod in approval and leave the room.

Lizzy then comes up and pulls out a elegant necklace and earrings to match from the box of jewelry. The necklace is a dainty silver chain that has a beautiful amethyst shaped into a tear drop hanging from the end. Once the necklace and earrings are in place, she nods and gives me a hug.

"You look so beautiful Lilly. I'm so happy for you."

I thank her and return the hug, she smiles and then leaves the room as well.

As I'm putting on my hat/veil my father enters the room and becomes teary eyed upon seeing me.

"You look beautiful."

He says before walking up to me and helping me adjust me veil.

"My little girl is getting married. This is such a joyous day."

Wiping away his tears with a handkerchief, I smile up at him and he returns it before offering me his arm.

"You're groom is waiting."

I nod and link my arm with his before leaving the room and heading to the audience chamber where the ceremony is being held.

As we near the door, we are met by Lizzy, Mey-Rin and Hannah who are all dressed in traditional Japanese dresses the color of pink, blue and purple. They all smile when they see us and line up behind the two of us, seeing us all ready we are ushered into the audience chamber as cherry blossom petals flutter down onto the aisle.

Everyone is here to celebrate the wedding of their eldest prince, noble and common alike. As my father leads me down the aisle, I see Claude dressed in a white under shirt and a long silk black over jacket with silver dragons running up along the sides, the collar buttons up around his neck and is lined with silver around the top. He looks so handsome and I blush slightly as he watches me get closer and closer to him.

When we reach the end of the platform, my father lifts my veil and presses a kiss to my hairline before placing my veil back down and handing me over to Claude. They exchange nods before Claude leads me up to stand in front of his father.

Several moments later, the ceremony ends and Claude lifts my veil before cupping my cheeks with both hands and smiling as we stare into each others eyes.

"I love you Lilly."

"I love you too."

With that we share a sweet kiss and everyone behind us cheers, some are even crying, my father mostly, as we take one another by the hand and walk back down the aisle. Saying our thanks to everyone for showing up as we go and once we reach the doors we stop and share one more kiss before heading out to the vacation house for our honeymoon.

As we reach the house he scoops me up into his arms and carries me inside, making me blush the entire time. He then takes me into the bedroom and gently lays me down onto our new bed, curtesy of his father, before leaning down and gently pressing his lips to mine. It's such a sweet kiss that it leaves me wanting more, but before he lets me enjoy this kiss any further, his lips part from mine to trail feather light kisses down along my neck causing me to shiver in anticipation. Seeing this, a smirk comes to his lips before he leans up and nibbles on my earlobe. Soon he runs his hands down along every inch of my body and I tremble at the sensation, he then undoes the top of my dress and trails gentle kisses along my bare chest before lightly nipping at the swell of my breasts. My back arches slightly and a soft moan escapes my lips.

Seeing my reactions he sits up and begins to remove his over jacket before unbuttoning his shirt. I lay there breathing heavily with slightly glazed over eyes as I watch him, soon his fingertips run up along my outer thighs lightly which causes me to shiver once more, he then reaches a hand in between my legs and I gasp as a jolt of pleasure runs all over my body.

"You're so wet already. I wanted to try and get you even wetter but...I'm at my limit."

Saying this, he removes his pants before lunging himself deep inside me with one smooth thrust of his hips. My back arches fully and I grip his arms as he leans down and lightly kisses my eyelids, nose, then lips while stroking my hair.

"I'm sorry my love, I promise the pain will be over soon."

I nod and bite my bottom lip before moving my own hips gradually until the pain subsides, as I do this however I can see his eyes close as his face contort with pleasure and soon he can no longer stand it and begins his thrusts once more, slowly at first but then faster and harder, causing me to moan out his name breathily, I can see the blush on his cheeks and the pleasure in his eyes as he draws nearer and nearer to his limit.

"Ah...Lilly..."

"Claude..."

After a few more quick thrusts, everything turns white before my eyes as we both reach our limit. Soon he falls down next to me, breathing heavily before pulling me over into his arms and kissing my forehead gently.

Whispering sweet words to one another, we soon fall into a deep, blissful sleep and I know this is not the last time I will feel this happy. I know that as long as I am with him, nothing could make me happier.
