Chapter 77: Killing Cyrus!

"This is....prince Cyrus's mother's garden?" She can't help but ask in shock. 

As far as she recalled, his mother had died during the time of childbirth. Moreover, his distant fae never gave her enough courage to ask about the same topic. 

It infuriated him she had concluded. 

But now that Lady Ashley had brought this in front of her eyes, her mind had revolved around the different possibilities too. 

Subconsciously, she had grabbed her own shawl around to not tear her eyes from Lady Ashley. 

In response to her, she smiled before averting her gaze back to the garden to stare at the blossoming flowers, "This is in the middle of the entire castle, till that time, neither castle had been made. We all have limited information about her but this belongs to her, we all are aware."

Without even saying anything else, Alice rotated her head to look down from where they stood. 

Down, there was a big garden, full of greenery. Knowing that each lady and the concubine in the entire castle is given her own space, she was doubting whether she will receive one like this? 

"It is still beautiful...even after her death.." Alice muttered. 

"Because Cyrus makes sure that this is maintained as before. But this Garden also holds a different sentiment in my heart." Hearing this from lady Ashley, she saw her remote expressions, "What sentiments, do you mean to say lady Ashley?" 

A small smirk pulled on her lips where she kept herself, mum. However, when she closed her eyes, Alice's stare went once again to see her, as lady Ashley was immersed into the dreamland of reclaiming her own sweet moments.

Making Alice gulp the saliva present in her mouth, she can't help but bring her hand kept on Ashley's shoulders, "Lady Ashley.."

"The reason is that, when I came to this castle for the very first time, I met Cyrus here only. He was only a few years old, although very old in his vampire state but in his physical appearance, he was still a small kid. He was sitting in this garden, trying to put a flower in the sand." 

"Back when I used to live, I had a close bond with my step brother's children. However, when I settled here, I found out that most of them were hostile. Too much..." Alice heard Ashley's words with her shocked eyes. 

She wasn't expecting her to be this close, to the extent where she remembers the time when she met prince Cyrus for the very first time. 

At this point, she would guess that lady Ashley does possess a warmth value in Cyrus's heart. 

Whereas, Lady Ashley had not finished when she continued to say, "I met him...he was really lost. later, I found out that no one actually takes care of his well-being except the few assigned maids. And the reason was very much simple, he was motherless, as well as, not the son of the Queen even."

Whereas Alice had kept her lips sealed but she can't help but feel a bit closer to the bond that she had linked her with Prince Cyrus.

Alice e knew what it meant to grow up without your mother's love. In fact, somewhere she was very much grateful that her mother and father were married. 

Her mother was once a Queen as well, making her and her brother the only children of their father as well, next to the throne too. 

But the same can't be said for Cyrus, whose mother bore no such status. "H-His mother.... who was she? Her title?"

"I don't have many hints about that. There are many loopholes around the corner and if you think that Prince Cyrus is very young then you're wrong. He is aged...quite aged. But he stopped aging..."Lady Ashley had to choose every word with great difficulty. 

She knew now that she can't just blurt out everything to the newly Princess either. 

The reason was very much simple, all because she was still new and had no trust. Similarly, Lady Ashley didn't wish to give the personal details of Prince Cyrus. 

However, in the hope that there would be a peaceful relationship between the couple,, she had at least tried her best to give a hint to the lady so that she can adapt herself to Prince Cyrus's sentiments and emotions. 

While Alice's lips had turned into a straight line, she couldn't help but feel the emptiness in her heart. 

It is as if she was facing any other issue that is needed when her own feelings were kind of similar to others. 

But rather than talking about everything at once, lady Ashley had suggested that they walk to the other side of the castle as away. 

Going through the lobbies at their slow pace, it was Princess Alice who endured, "How do you know that Prince Cyrus is not that old? King Almen does look old as well..."

"King Vilas is old but if we talk about Prince Cyrus.. then he is quite old in his vampire state. Due to certain things which I'm not aware of as well, his aging stopped. Like when I met him, he wasn't old much but...later when I discussed it, I found out that he was born very early." 

"Just when the King took over this land and that was years ago. I mean centuries maybe..." Lady Ashley's words were filled with uncertainty. 

But What Alice found shocking was the fact that Prince Cyrus was so old?  How is that possible? "This Kingdom was built up I guess, the period is already fading.."

"A new generation has taken over, or maybe new to next. But King Almen had managed to stay in such a position for so long. Sometimes, I even wonder who the man I have been married to but that is not my place to ask." Lady Ashley commented again, making Alice be present in the mud of doubts

But in the back of her mind, she found all this information to be useful as well, which made her realize that Prince Cyrus wasn't someone ordinary either. 

'I used to consider him as any other ordinary vampire. Seems like I was truly wrong...' 

Princess Alice kept the same expressions throughout with the same intact face. She was looking absolutely calm, with the new things floating around her. 

But Lady Ashley had more to say when she continued ahead, "I met Cyrus, and he was also looking for some love and care. Just when I met him, I had a deep attachment to him. It was out of its own….but I believe it was what it meant to be because later on, I never had any child of my own either with the King." 

"Y-You don't have your children?" Princess Alice asked, with amusement.

The fact that she was still regarded highly in the entire castle, despite not having any other son of the King was another tale. 

She couldn't help or come to terms with it. 

Meanwhile, Lady Ashley had smiled to answer, "Because I had Crowned prince and me. I had loved him so much that I was still not overwhelmed with not having children. Neither the King asked me since I was taking care of Cyrus from the start..." 

"I had regarded him as my son, even though he addressed me formally with the time. But in this life, I only want him to cherish and achieve everything.." Lady Ashley's words gave Alice the reason behind understanding many things. 

She had kept her head down, not even lifting her eyes. Taking the smaller steps, Alice was still not interested to show her emotions but in her mind, she could feel that they were something on the same page. 

'I can understand, he had a father who must always be busy with the official affairs and with other ladies, whereas, no one else and dead.. mother...Prince Cyrus surely had a tough life...' Alice concluded. 

She won't deny that her heart did bulge for him. He was after all, innocent in all the mess that was created. 

However, Alice's doubt was still racing in her chest regarding his age. How old is he? What actually happened to him which made him so old and still look and appear so young? 

It was so unusual for him to be one since she saw his face and the physical appearance.. he looks damn sexy in her eyes. 

How can she say that he was older than twenty or twenty-five in the human age? 

Even princess Alice can't come to the same reality even, where she found this thing extremely lewd in her eyes. 

Yet Alice never put an expression on her face either. 

Meanwhile, Lady Ashley was on her way giving her the peaks of inside the castle. Whether it be the right-wing of the castle or the left, she made sure that nothing was left.  "So here, me and lady Aura gather to have our meals sometimes, in the  evening.."

"And therein the center wing, there is the chamber of King Almen and Queen Elizabeth. In The adjoining Wing, you will find the room of Prince Alex, since the Queen mother always likes to keep Prince Alex in her observation…" Lady Ashley explained. 

But it makes a frown curve on Princess Alice's head, "What is this? Is she so protective?"

"Well..." Ashley had to take a deep breath before she rotated to look at princess Alice with her serious turn of expression, "I should tell you this..."

"Prince Alex is the second in line to have the throne after Crown Prince Cyrus. When Cyrus was declared as the Crowned Prince, it was no one else but Queen Elizabeth and her dear son, who had done much of the revolt against the same.." The information made Alice's eyes sparkle. 

Whereas, Lady Ashley continued to speak, which finally made Princess Alice raise her guards, "Prince Cyrus has been a wall for them....and the major threat. And once, Prince Alex had tried to Kill Cyrus.... to take over  his title and throne.."
