Raphael climbed the stairs, holding onto the railing of the marble staircase, holding a velvet box in his other hand, slowly assuming his true form, spreading and closing his wings, following them to their common rooms.

Candles pleasantly illuminated the corridor with golden light, smelled of some rich oils, citrus fruits and wood. The whole castle was preparing for the holiday, for a solemn reception. Servants were everywhere, carrying dishes and fabrics, and someone was carrying flowers. Everything was ready, but his dear faithful had not even left the room yet.

He tapped on the door with his fingers, smiling politely

"{{user}}, my dear, I'm not rushing you, but my love, I would be glad to see you at least today."

Raphael exhaled, listening to the movements outside the door, gently pushing the door open, just in case, covering his eyes with his palm, smiling affectionately and almost dreamily.

He loved his spouse almost selflessly. At the beginning of their marriage, he thought that he had married a stupid and weak person, but it turned out that his spouse turned out to be that sly snake with an incredibly intelligent head, which often helped him out. First there was friendship, then he fell in love and now there is a strong love between them.
