Chapter 32: Ring Ceremony!

Alice's grip tightened around her clothes when she felt a sudden arrow touching her heart. It was all intangible, except her feelings and senses already working in the wrong way.

'Not like I will have to bear this monster …' this was the sole thought that kept her alive at this point and not to react.

Standing behind the rest of the crowd in the courtroom, her eyes never tore from the red-eyed vampire who stood there with stagnant narrowed eyes. He was suspicious of her, but this wasn't her concern either.

"Prince Cyrus, please do the honor of claiming Princess Flora as your bride-to-be." The council head commented before a ring was brought by Alex on his side.

Extending his hand, there was a jade embed ring present in the velvet silk box. Looking from the corner of his eyes, Cyrus peaked at the same before he brought his hand to pick it up.

Staring at it for quite a few seconds, his eyes lifted just to take a look at the lady who stood behind all the people present, despite being the Royal, crowned Princess of the Kingdom.

When their eyes met, neither of them reacted. Both of them stood still, but this eye contact and delay weren't liked by either of the parts.

Alex coughed slightly to come near Cyrus's ears to whisper, "Brother..everyone is waiting. You don't want them to raise their...doubts."

As if he was brought out of his daze, he took Flora's hand into his to slide the ring into one of her fragile fingers. Rounds of applause were heard but they were all by the Human's side.

However, Alice never gave a sign of happiness. Neither did she let the sadness develop over her heart. 'This man will surely make Flora's life as one of hell..' she recalled the statement of his. What he had told her was about damaging her entire life.

Will this fall upon them? she was worried that it might impact her father's image. Yet she had no control over this alliance, at least not anymore.

"Princess Flora, please do the honor of claiming Crowned Prince Cyrus as your groom to be." The council had told her when she nodded her head. Taking the ring from her mother's hand, she took the vampire's hand to slide the ring as swiftly as possible.

When the ceremony was completed, the council head, as well both Kings stood from their respective thrones as they looked at the newly formed couple, "Congratulations to King Vilas and King Almen. This alliance shall bring prosperity and welfare for all of us.."

"To the new relationship of Suzania and Gazelle land." With this, he lifted his red wine-filled glass to raise it in the air, "Happiness over all of us!"

"Happiness" everyone loudly spoke when both the kings gave their acknowledgment.

The others came forward to congratulate the prince and the first person to do so was none other than Prince Alex who stood just behind his brother.

Coming in front of Cyrus, his face showed a bright smile before he gave him a big hug, "I'm happy for you. This is your first wedding and that too with a human girl. Well done.."

Cyrus didn't comment on the same. But on the lack of response, Alex came a little forward to whisper in Cyrus's ears, "I saw a lady.. near the door. She was beautiful, wasn't she?"

Hearing this, Cyrus's eyes narrowed when he broke the embrace to stare at Alex with his deadly glare, "They are human. You know what this means."

"Oh cmon, don't say this when you are yourself…" Alex's eyes travel towards Flora who stood beside Cyrus, not even reaching their shoulders, "...Getting a human as a bride. She will be your permanent source of blood."

"Limits, Alex.." was all that Cyrus answered before he patted his shoulders in return.

Alex didn't prey on the conversation any longer before he left the courtroom to attend to the other people.

The next in line was Prince Dominic who gave Prince Cyrus a slight nod, "I hope you will take care of her."

Hearing this, Cyrus's eyes were raised. "Is Crowned Prince showing care for his cousin,"

"She is one of our Royals. I don't want anything wrong to happen, which will hamper our relationships and the newly formed Alliance. We hope the sincerity from Vampire's side as well." Dominic answered holding a serious expression on his face.

There was no denying that he did sound too serious and worried, but the same worriedness can easily be classified as one of the care towards his father.

Initially, Cyrus didn't reply but only stared at Prince Dominic. So did Flora who seemed impressed by the way Dominic behaved towards them. 'Isn't he aware that father was the one who had planned to kill His Highness?'

From his expression, it was hard to define whether he had revealed and found the same or not. In order to not let it impact her, Flora coughed to say, "I'm grateful that my brother is coming to look afterwards me. Thank you so much, Prince Dominic."

"That is all because of my responsibilities. Now, please excuse me." Prince Dominic took their leave to leave the courtroom as well.

The people thereby came and greeted them, and in return all Prince Cyrus did was to show them one smile and thanked them for their greetings.

Amidst this all, Cyrus's eyes never failed to search for a person whose presence was long-awaited. 'Where did that human girl go!?' Knowing that Alex also noted her presence, made him slightly concerned.

Yet this concern was easily washed over when he realized the identity of the same girl. 'Nevertheless, she is a human too. One or other time, I will show her, her real place very soon..'

With this thought that crossed over his mind, Cyrus already had an idea of what to do in the future. But at the same time, Flora had already taken the peak of his well-defined face and his authority over others.

She won't deny that it did influence her a bit. Yet her fear didn't let go out of her. "Prince Cyrus, I was thinking... if we could get spend some time…"

Her eyes shifted to notice his expressions which remained unchanged, "No need for that. I have work to do and things to manage. We can talk once we get married formally." Cyrus answered, sending clear disinterest to interact with the human beside him.

Instead, another human had already stuck his interest. Too bad she wasn't present here otherwise, he would have loved to tease and test her!

At the same time, Alice had already stepped out of the courtroom to come in the corridors. Staring above in the sky, her eyes were covered with the moist when her mouth failed to reveal any single word.

She was absolutely quiet, not even muttering a single word in respect to the event since it made her impossible at this current moment.

But her silence was broken when she heard a husky and deep voice behind her.

"Are you upset over the ring ceremony, sister?"
