Okay, so I’m a prude. I’ll admit that. I like my characters to be married before they have sex. Besides, Sarene is right—she deserves a wedding. She’s waited since chapter two to have her big, princess’s wedding. She deserves something official. So, Raoden and Sarene spend this night apart. Besides assuaging my moral sense of decency, it works much better for the plot to have them apart.
Notice that Raoden awakes here, much in the same way that he did in chapter one. I kind of wanted this chapter to call back to that one. Both chapters open with a slight sense of peace, followed by awful discovery. Both end with Raoden being cast into hell.
