Alice muttered, before she gave her chair a bit of push to stand on her toes. Without even looking at anyone else, Alice ran away from the hall, to go in her own chamber's direction.
Her lightning speed made them all viewfield. They gave each other the stare above their eyes and went to see Crown Prince Cyrus, "W-what happened with her, Cyrus?" It was Lady Ashley who asked with concern.
On the other hand, Queen Elizabeth had the guilty expression,"I guess she isn't used to seeing us drinking blood. Maybe that was what triggered her..I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked about it either.."
"You...also..." Lady Aura had to control herself, to not let anger blurt. Even more to say, she never had any doubt.
But on the second note, Prince Cyrus's eyes never tore from the direction which she had left.. As if, something sparkling inside them, he knew...something happened with her...
As his eyes were converted into a crystal moon, he couldn't tell but stare at the ones,who were also staring back at him, "Don't worry, with the time she will be fine..it must be because of the drink itself.."
"Probably the same. I should have taken care...she must not be accustomed to the blood being drunk to infront of her eyes..she is a human.." It was Lady Ashley, who felt the intense heartache in her heart.
At this point, Lady Ashley held immense pressure over her heart. Not Only that, she couldn't help but realize that the reason Princess Alice ran away because of her.
But when Prince Cyrus noted that how downcasted Lady Ashley seemed right now, he can't help but come in her support, "Please don't feel down. It is fine, she will probably adjust with everything.."
"Oh surely she will. But we have to take care of the fact that she is a human as well.." It was Queen Elizabeth who muttered this, as she took the sip of the blood again from her glass, without tearing her gaze from Prince Cyrus.
However, through the talks, King Almen had kept himself quiet. He didn't say anything in regard to the same event that happened right now. Instead of uttering anything else, he was more fixed on his own meal and had intrigued to eat it. Neither did he sound too worried about the situation. "She has left. We should now complete breakfast. We all have work to do.."
"Sure father. But I can sense that the brother doesn't regard his wife's choice much.." it was Prince Alex who commented back, to get a sharp reply too.
"Doesn't concern you. You should rather focus on your own fiance, otherwise she will make you a chokehold as well.." Prince Cyrus told again, before he took the knife in his hand and the fork.
Using the two, he had cut the steak that was present in his plate before he ate the food. Without the change in his expressions, everyone saw that he wasn't reacting either.
After they all sensed that things were resuming to the current scenario, they all once again started to continue the rest of the breakfast.
However, no one knew what was going inside his brain. He had kept the same expressionless face throughout, but to not display either he had kept himself mum.
'I guess....I should pay a visit to her as well..'
...
On the other hand, Princess Alice had run to her chamber where she immediately rushed inside. Her breath was extremely heavy, as the sweat covered her entire face.
Infact, she appeared to be no less than any lady who was too scared recently.
"T-they... drink blood?" Princess Alice knew that she should have been alarmed beforehand.
This wasnt any other joke itself, since it was very much clear to her. They all are vampires, they have the natural needs to be filled and they all get power from this drink as well.
But she had least expected them to drink it so openly as well. That was the last thing she was looking forward to seeing today, however she did and now it makes her feel he churns in her own stomach.
It was as if there was any other knot present inside.
"Gosh..." Princess Alice had taken the help of the shelf. She walked closer to her bed to sit on the bed after removing the transparent net that had surrounded her entire bed.
Her entire self was already shivering to the next extent where her face had started to turn paler.
"I can't just see that drink...." she can't help but feel somewhat guilty.
Subconsciously, her hands traveled to hold her entire face in her palms. Engulfing her face into her palms, she had closed her eyes to let her nerves calm down so that it didn't end up burning her mind as well.
However, her silence and peace didn't last for much long either when she felt the door of her chamber once again being opening. Without the need to remove her hand from her face, she peakds through her fingers, to find no one else but her Vampire husband!
Without even muttering anything, she heard him closing the door behind him before he walked closer to her, but stopped at a certain distance, "Was there any need for you to run away from there?"
"What else do you expect me to do? Stay there and see you all drink the blood..out of any human?" Alice can't thelp but mutter, in a low voice.
Her words brought a smile on his lips where he immediately shook his head, "As if you had no idea that we Vampires need blood for energy? You have been married into the vampire land, Princess Alice. You're Not simply into the Humanland anymore here where you expect that there won't be any more changes..."
"Changes were expected...but you're not understanding my position either, Prince Cyrus. I know that you must have been embarrassed by me, but I can't just stand there and see you all drink blood..."
"That's not the right reason..."
"Is that so?" Princess Alice got up on her toes where she stared at the man with her burning eyes to only smile at him, "You are saying that it isn't like that? Cyrus, I'm a human! Do you expect me to just smile, when you guys drink the blood of a human?"
In response, a scoff left out from Cyrus's lips. His eyes are containing the same fury, where he saw that she was putting all the blame over him.
Innitially, he had no idea why he had even come out here, since his mind was talking against it.
He wanted to leave her alone, since she wasn't his headache. Yet his heart was the one who got heavier over his mind and dragged his feets to this, leaving his meal in the middle as well.
No one questioned him either, since they all believed that the Crowned Prince must have gone to have a check over his wife's condition.
However, he himself was deeply confused about the reason for him appearing here...
Tugging his hand behind his body, he took another step closer to the burning face, "Princess...I expected you to be brave enough to handle everything. But seem like I was wrong..."
"You were wrong? I think Prince Cyrus thinks too highly of me. But let me remind you, my behavior, my taste and preferences are all according to what we call, birthplace. I can and will get accustomed. For today's sudden leave, I gave my apologies but...don't expect me to sit there and see you all drinking that blood.."
"That's what we all do. You are going to be the Queen, how will others comment when they see that their Queen isn't even getting used to this real life?" Cyrus was getting annoyed. She was on his nerves right now!
If he had to take the oath of being the King one day, she would have to take the position beside him. That was the last resort, since she is the first married wife. But how can he let her be the Queen when she is too much reluctant?
Hi annoyance had reached the certain limit where was left with no other option around him but to finally calm his nerves. It was getting out of his hands to control his sentiments which were at the edge of getting out of his mind..
The fierceness was very much evident on his face which was hard to let go from Alice's eyes as well. She found him to be acting unreasonably.
What was the need for him to create the blunder of the nowhere issues?
"Prince Cyus is overreacting now..." Alice can't help but mtter but in return, she got a reply too, "Forget about it... you aren't worthy of being said something even.."
Saying his sentence, prince Cyrus took the few steps back where his eyes never tore from the lady herself. While Princess Alice was shocked by his wordings, it did sound very much rude. But before she could have even answered back, he again told her...
"At the end of the day, you are still a human. A human mind and body, I can't even expect same understanding from someone like you...."
