Chapter 70: Husband's Duty!

"But Queen, is that necessary for you to do?" The head maid knew that the Queen's son is the second prince of the entire Kingdom. 

It was Prince Cyrus who is Crowned Prince, next in line to get the throne. Moreover, it is also rumored that Prince's mother died during the childbirth but some also mentioned that it was due to the Witch, who had actually killed the lady who had just given birth to the prince. 

No one had really seen her, not even the Queen herself. She was married when Cyrus was already four years old. 

It made no sense since Queen Elizabeth also acted as the head of the young prince. However, the dynamics changed when Prince Alex was born and the rest was already history. 

At this stage, Queen's eyes were covered with the mist which was enough to hold the power to hide her emotions. 

No one can actually predict what was actually going inside her mind. As if, she was to lay a blank picture. 

But the maid's question was surely heard by her. She walked to the window, when she looked in the garden to speak, "I have my son, who is the eldest of all.  Prince Cyrus....his mother was nothing in this kingdom! I will never let my son be tempered as the regular Prince whereas, a son of that concubine snatched the throne from my son's hands. No, never!" 

"B-But how are we going to prevent this, Queen?" The maid's statement made the Queen's teeth grit against each other. 

Her vein had popped out as her eyes were burning with the proper rage. "We will wait for it right time.." 

Turning around, she stared at her command-in maid, who immediately lowered her eyelids when she felt her gaze at her, "Since the key of his death is already residing in our plane now..for how long can he escape? One of the other days, his wife will turn into his worst nightmare..." 

....

Whereas Cyrus had walked back to his chamber, finding the sight of Alice standing with the complicated look that had plastered on her face. 

She was holding a piece of her gown, which was yet to be rotated around her waist while the other two maids tried their best to pin it up. 

"Cough Cough...." his tone gained their attention, when both maids of Alice bowed themselves, "His Highness.... we were just helping princess with her dress for the breakfast with Royals...." 

"You both can leave.." was all that he muttered, confusing both of them. 

Even Alice's eyes widened when she was in the middle of tying her clothes. From where did he appear? And why so early? 

Thousands of wild thoughts ran inside her mind. But on the Highness's orders, both the command maids have to leave the chamber as early as possible. 

Accordingly, when Alice and Cyrus were alone, Alice rotated her eyes to look at him with her sharp gaze, "Was it needed?" 

"They weren't trying it properly." That was all he told before he kept everything present in his hand on the bed and moved in the direction. 

Initially, Alice had taken a step back when she felt his movement in her direction. it raised her guards, which were purely noticed by Cyrus as well. 

"You don't have to feel afraid... I'm not going to eat you but help you in dressing..." he told her honestly, which made Alice's mouth turn into a pout, "But those ladies were helping me with this. Was your presence even needed?" 

"Obviously, if a husband doesn't help his wife in getting ready, who will do so?" saying this, he took the remaining cloth that was still present on the ground and picked it up with his hands. 

Then, he started to wrap it around her waist, while moving around her. She appeared to be another statue who was going to be covered very soon. 

Subconsciously, Alice's hands had helped her bottom wear very tightly, where she had kept her eyes low. It was hard to even imagine how he was able to keep so calm, where his stare was so intense in her way. 

'Gosh... why do I feel goosebumps on my skin?' She was totally clueless. 

However, this ain't the end of their time. 

Prince Cyrus strongly pulled her towards him, making Alice raise her arm to fall over his body. It was difficult since she literally felt her stability being halting in the middle. "Y-You..."

"I'm just digging your clothes in," he responded naturally before Alice felt his hand gripping the cloth and making it tug inside her existing piece of the cloth.

She could literally feel his hands against her silky waist, making Alice gulp the saliva present in the mouth. 

She could feel her hands dripping with sweat and the sensation traveling into her brain. It made her feel ticklish, yet at the same time, it was hard to define that her body was reacting way too much due to his warm touch. 'No No..I can't let him be so effective towards me..'

With this thought, Alice lifted her eyes. But at this time, he didn't stay much in this position before Alice took the steps back "T-thank you for your help with the clothes. I will do the rest of them myself." 

"Are you sure?" he asked again, but this time, with fewer worries. In return, Alice gave him an affirmative shake, as the hurry to make him leave was already floating inside her heart. 

As Crown Prince Cyrus noted that she was confident in herself, he didn't persist as well. 

However, when he was ready to leave her alone to let her get ready he did come across the gifts which he had previously kept earlier on the bed. 

"Don't touch whatever I have brought. Ask your maids to throw it in the bin." 

As Alice heard the voice, she moved her gaze to see that there was another dress lying on the bed. Along with it, she could witness that there was some local jewelry, making her frown, "Why do I have to throw such precious things in the bin? I can us-"

"Are you interested in dying?" his blunt question left Alive speechless. 

Her lips were pursed into a straight line with Cyrus saw after he had turned around to look at this figure. 

"If you are, most welcome to use that stuff. Otherwise, follow what I have said and nicely, throw everything since it isn't of any use.."

"And I mean everything..." Cyrus repeated again, trying to press on his wordings. He was damn serious about this topic and Alice learned the game from his demor. 

His teasing nature had faded which was now replaced in the serious activation and Alice had no heart to give a negative answer either. "I..I..will ask them to throw it.." 

"Good, also get ready as soon as possible. We don't have much left before we go to the breakfast table. So, take the help of your maids now.." at his last words, Cyrus took the steps behind to ultimately turn around and leave the chamber. 

Whereas Alice was still not able to overcome the shock and the studness from his expressions, she could hear the small noise of the steps. 

Coming out of the daze, she saw the maid coming back before they bowed in front of her again, "Princess...do you still need our assistance.."

"Y-Yes. Please help me with the rest of the jewelry and in tugging this cloth into my hair." Alice asked for help, which they did. They brought her to the dressing table and made her sit there with tender care in their actions. Afterward, she put on the jewelry. 

Throughout they entered, Alice had sealed her lips. But when her eyes fell on the dress that was on the bed, she couldn't help but mutter, "Do you both have any idea....who can give this dress to me..?"

"Which dress are you talking about, Princess?" Emma asked with the evident doubt, to which Alice pointed behind her,"Which is lying on the bed. Can you tell me about the person?"

"Oh, that!" Emma covered her mouth before she narrowed her eyes before replying, "I guess...it is given by the Queen. It is a tradition that the Queen gives to the Daughter in the law of the castle, on the first day after their marriage. So maybe, the Queen had handed the same to the Prince..." 

"So it is given by the Queen herself...." Alice muttered, only to get a nod from her maids. 

But there was another suspicion that was now arising in her brain again after learning about the ritual itself. 

'If that is the case....why will Cyrus ask me to throw it in the bin..and not wear it?'  She knew that the prince himself wishes to make her life a  proper hell. 

But is there anyone else also planning to tamper her life here? 

The realization struck her hard at the time to feel that her life was in serious danger. Subconsciously her hand went to hold her clothes tightly before she took a deep breath to let her mind to be at a steady rate. 

'Seems like...many are getting lusty for my life too. Hopefully, God will help me and keep me away from all those people..' 

However, Alice had no idea that this was the start of the grave future with the twists and turns that are already laid on her path....
