Helia groaned softly as he opened his eyes. The time was currently dark but there was enough light coming in from a fire pit outside.
Getting up he walked out of the two room building to see a beautiful girl throwing wood into the fire pit. She had on a pink shorts with a green sleeveless blouse and pink shoes.
Flora felt someone watching her and turned around to see Helia standing by the door.
"Hey." She smiled.
"Hey." He walked over to her.
"How are you feeling?" The brunette asked.
"Better now that I am with you." He wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I missed you so much." Flora hugged him.
"I missed you too." Helia leaned forward and did something he has missed out on for three months.
Flora felt his lips brush against her before they shared a kiss.
"Yeah!"
The couple parted and turned around to see the rest of the villagers cheering for them.
The pair blushed. "Sorry about this. When I told my mother who you were to me she informed the rest of the villagers."
Helia chuckled. "It's alright. Your mother sounds like an interesting person."
"You can say that."
After spending an hour with the villagers hearing some old stories about not only the village but also Linpeha on a whole Helia and Flora left them around the fire and walked to the river.
Sitting by the river bank Flora asked. "How did you find me?"
"Nabu told me how my mother paid off your relatives to send you back here." He sighed. "They told me you were dead and for months my heart ached."
"Didn't know that. They tied me up for the entire trip and never told me why." She kicked off her shoes and placed it in the water.
"When I found out where you were I packed some of my stuff and travelled almost non-stop to get here." Helia removed his shoes and placed his feet into the water. "It took me two days to reach here."
"I am just happy to see you. You don't know how many times I have dreamt of us been together and making love." Flora blushed.
"Don't be embarrassed." Helia's cheek matched Flora's. "I dreamt of us making love also."
The pair moved closer together. "When are you going back to the city?"
Helia placed his hand on hers. "Whatever time you are ready to come with me. I came for you and not leaving without you."
"Where am I going to stay? Can't stay with you much less my relatives."
"Then I will give up my title and stay here with you." He replied.
"I can't let you do that. Linepha needs their future King." Flora stated.
"And I am no good to them if I don't have my Queen beside me. I love you more than anything or anyone else. So even if means being broke for the rest of my life and leave Linepha without a King then so be it." He sounded serious.
Flora smiled. "I love you too."
"That's good because I would be depressed if you didn't return my feelings." He joked.
Flora giggled.
"How about a swim?" Helia suggested.
"The river is usually cold in the night time." Flora pointed out.
"I will have to warm you up then." He gave her a wink.
Flora rose from the ground and took off her clothes. "Coming in lover boy?"
Helia gulped seeing Flora nude. "Yeah."
He got up and removed his clothing before going into the river with his beloved.
Flora stood at the centre of the river waiting for Helia to meet her. It was colder than she originally thought. "I am freezing."
The blue hair prince wrapped his arms around her waist once he reached her. "Feel a little warmer?"
"Yes, I do." Flora nodded, locking her arms around his neck.
Moving closer to each other, the two shared a kiss.
Next Day
Flora awoke to see that she was still by the river. She and Helia were resting on a tree with his arms wrapped around her waist. Looking over she saw Helia sleeping peacefully and that both of them had on their clothes.
Thinking back to last night the last thing she remembered was her and Helia playing in the river before making love on the river bank. After that she blacked out.
It was magical making love under the stars with the one you love.
"Helia raise and shine." Flora sang.
"Good morning my flower." His eyes fluttered opened.
"Good morning to you too, sweetie." She replied. "What happened after we had sex?"
"You fell asleep." He answered. "I dried you off before putting on back our clothes then drifted off to sleep myself."
"Must have been really tried from all the work yesterday." She stated. "Last night was amazing."
"You were amazing." Helia responded. "You ready to go back home?"
"Home?"
"Yeah, your mother must be worried sick about us and we have a lot of work to do today." Helia got up.
Flora felt overjoyed when Helia called her home his. It may not be as fancy looking and luxurious as the palace but it was still a home.
Getting up she took his hand. "Let's go home."
One Week Later
The day after they made love Helia and Flora went back to the city for a day to get legally married at a small chapel with Aisha and Nabu as their witness before returning to the village to have an unofficial ceremony.
Knowing his mother she didn't care if he came back or not. More than likely she lied and told persons who were worried about his whereabouts that he was on a vacation in order for not them not to worry.
After a two week stay at Melody, the King of Linphea finally returned to his palace.
"Helia!" He called out once entering the living room.
"Honey?" His wife stormed into the room. "You are back early."
"Yes the meeting with the royal family of Melody ended earlier than planned. Where is Helia?" He questioned.
"He isn't here." She answered.
"Where is he?"
"On vacation…" The Queen lied.
"Woman, don't lie to me. Tell me where is my son!" He yelled.
"I don't know. He left over a week ago to find that Flora girl and has not returned." She came clean.
"What?!" The King yelled.
The Specialist along with some other guards rushed into the room.
"What is it, your highness?" Sky asked.
"Helia is missing. I want all of you to go look for him now!" The King turned his back to them. "As for you," He pointed to his wife. "I don't even want to see you till my son is found."
All the guards minus Riven left the room. The King exist the room soon after leaving the Queen and the purple hair hero alone.
"Thought you were going to lie to him about Helia's whereabouts." He looked at the queen.
"He knew I was lying." She replied.
"Well I better go do my job." Riven started to walk away.
"Or you could go to your room and rock my world." The Queen suggested.
Over the year Riven and the queen started having an affair, having sex whenever possible.
Since he and Musa had an on again off again relationship and the King's busy schedule made it very easy for them to sneak around.
Taking her hand the two headed to the male's room for a few hours of pleasure.
Helia and Flora sat around another bonfire at the village. The villagers were celebrating the couple's marriage.
The oldest of the village elders spoke to them. "I see a long and happy life in the future for you two." He started. "I also see challenges that the both of you will have to face in order to make your marriage as strong as possible."
"We are prepared to face those challenges together." Flora said.
"As husband and wife." Helia finished her statement.
"Here, here!" The villagers cheered.
Flora and Helia glanced at each other with a smile. "I love you, Prince Helia."
"I love you too, Princess Flora."
They leaned forward to share a passionate kiss.
