Chapter 59: You Don't Know Your Husband!?

Hearing his words made Alice surprised. Looking at him, with the amusement present in her eyes, she can't help but feel something amiss in his words. 

As if, he was carrying a lot of sentiments which he was also unknown.

"I understand..." Alice said with a soft mutter, "But are you close to someone in your family? Someone who has given you love?"

In return, she once again received the same aloof shook from his side, making her heart jump a bit. "So you mean....you don't like being close to anyone?"

"No one came close to me, because of many reasons. I'm the only child of my mother, all are stepbrothers or sisters and I guess, this always ignited hatred." 

His answer made Alice feel tons of emotions. Her eyes averted to see the floor of the cart where it was hard to define her own feelings. 

She always knew that Kings took the concubines and this might make everyone rebellious. 

However, she never witnessed the same. 

Her father was fully devoted to her late mother. Despite not having any idea how he was able to control his urges, she only took the assumption that his love was strong towards her. 

After all, the rumors of the King and the late Queen were floating around in the early days. 

Biting Her lower lip, Alice nodded her head. She had nothing else to ask him, except to learn that many must be lusting after his blood as well. 

Yet, then, a husky and deep voice entered into her ears. 

"You were lucky....that you never had to go through this. You had your brother as your ally.." The Crown Prince's statement made Alice turn her head in his direction when she blinked her eyes once. 

Her lips parted but no words seemed to come out to make him feel the comfort either. 

Maybe because she had never done that. He was a monster, a vampire. 

She has no clue how to mingle and deal with his temperament. 

Gulping the saliva present in her mouth, Alice gave a small acknowledgment. "You are correct...I was never put in that situation by my father..never!" 

"He is a good king, as well as father...." unlike my own father, who likes to believe in favoritism... 

But Cyrus kept the second half of the sentence baking in his mouth. 

He wasn't interested to let himself be exposed completely when they are on the edge of knowing each other. 

"In fact, in my life, there is no place for love. Maybe, it isn't meant for someone like me, as I would like to keep myself at distance from everything..." Cyrus added, making Alice quite surprised. 

No one has been so much against the matter of love. She especially believes that Love is something beautiful in one's life.

Or maybe, this was her consequence of being the only special one who will have to go through hundreds of things. 'And...even now I can't forget that I'll ever fall for someone?' 

But on the second note, her mind revolved around she recalled how her mother had told her that they both will fall for each other. 

At this time, she disregarded her words as any thin air. She had no idea, Alice thought about her mother's wish. 

They proceeded, with their entire army walking along with them. For a while, their cart was moving but soon afterward, it settled. But the deep silence between them made Alice sense awkwardness. They weren't comfortable and maybe this could be eased only while talking. 

Coughing slightly, Alice rotated her brows eyes to look at his husky face where she asked, "Will someone be waiting for us back at your castle?"

"What do you mean to say?" 

"Someone in your family, who must be eagerly waiting for your wedding? I mean, the ladies at the empire may be your....mother....aunt?" Alice muttered with the slight nervousness that reflected in her speech. 

Back in her mind, Alice already felt that at least someone would be interested to know that he was married? 

Or are, everyone just taking this wedding as any other alliance, not even showing their care that the first and Crown prince of their Kingdom is getting married? 

Maybe, his own mother must be interested to see her daughter-in-law..who is going to be human? Alice wondered. 

Soon after, her expectations melted down as she found that Cyrus wasn't answering. He was absolutely quiet as if he found her words displeasing. 

With Worry, That rotated in her head maybe that he might get infuriated by her statement, which made the possibility ring in her mind. 

Immediately, to resolve and clarify, Alice opened her mouth, "I..I...didn't mean that..."

"I don't have a mother." 

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Alice's heart was hammering against her chest. What did he mean by that? Did... it mean that he is also like her? 

Alice really wondered in her thoughts, and the answer was also given in an instant.

"My mother died when I was just born, childbirth is what they call it. She was a vampire too...but wasn't too strong to give birth to the child of the Vampire King.." Cyrus's words made Alice realize and learn about reality. 

Until now, she never cared to learn about his family background, with the thought that he was simply going to marry Flora. 

What was she interested to learn about him? 

But it seems she would have been better off if she did some research and had asked her father and brother about this vampire. 

Lowering her eyes to see her clothes, she uttered, "I..I.m sorry.."

"It's alright." Cyrus's distant voice rang in her ears. 

He was once again aloof when he recalled that he hadn't explained the details. Neither did he tell her the real truth, except the rumors. 

After all, if she ever heard about his mother in the castle, Alice will learn about his mother dying not only from mere childbirth...

However, the truth was still far from this made-up lie.... 

But Alice had felt that he was unhappy. She was highly doubtful what to do with him, or to talk further or not? Biting her lower lip, she clenched her hand together to not let her mind wander somewhere else. 

Yet it was hard, super hard. 

All Alice did was to take a deep breath and avert her eyes to see out of the cart, only to sense that it was already night. 

The darkness has fallen from the blue sky, with them walking through the forest as the trees were going across on their way. 

However, soon after, the cart was stopped, with a loud thud! It sent them both a jerk when Cyrus immediately held her hand to not let fall on the ground. 

His instant touch made Alice defensive but she held herself. 

When Prince Cyrus saw that she was all fine, did he shout to ask,"What has happened there out?! what did you stop the cart?" 

"Prince....we can't move ahead anymore until the sunrise. King has asked all of us to stop and take a rest.." 

Hearing this, both of their eyes flew towards each other before Cyrus spoke, "I will get down and see what others are planning.." 

"Alright.." 

He let go of her hand, making Alice immediately wrap it around her heart. Cyrus had tightly shut the door of the cart, making Alice feel relieved. 

They had stopped in the thick forest, which was more dangerous than anything. 

But knowingly, everyone present with her was a vampire, she was kind of relieved that it won't harm her much either. 

'With him around...it is so difficult to breathe..' Alice concluded this to herself. 

Soon after, when she was left all alone, Alice felt her curiosity to step out. Cyrus hadn't returned for long as well, but she was very much interested to peek outside and have a look at what other vampires were doing right now. 

With the courage to actually open the door of the cart to find herself seated. From far away, she looked behind their cart and found that there was a trail made up with the carts of the other vampires. 

She was safe, at least this struck her. 

But it was a lot of struggle, to actually step down out of the cart. Her eyes averted traveled to see the distance which she will have to step, as the wheels were very big. 

'But if I have to go down..I Will have to climb up..' 

With this persistent thought, Alice somehow held the other side of the door and the other of the cart. Lifting her gown from the up, she managed to come down from the cart, but not without escaping. 

Her arm was slightly sliced with a cut, making Alice simply rub it for the next few seconds, and afterward, it was found for her to not feel the pain. 

But to her disbelief, there came a man to stand by her side, whom she had seen before as well. Among anyone else, the vampire walked towards her with the slight happiness and friendliness displayed in his eyes.

"It is nice to see you, Princess Alice..." Alex's soft and sweet voice didn't melt Alice's heart, "Ye-yeah.."

When Prince Alex saw that Alice hadn't responded in a much informative way, it made him frown. 

A slight annoyance had raged his mind when he finally stared at her beauty, where her eyes were searching for her husband. 

"Seems like you are actually searching for Crowned prince.." Hearing this, Alice peeked at him from the corner of her eyes without showing any reaction. 

However, right then, a chuckle passed out from Alex's mouth before he spoke,

"Looks like you have no idea about your wedded husband, Princess Alice.."
