Chapter 78: Talk With Queen!

"Here, you will find many people who are lusty for your and Cyrus's blood. He has the power but that doesn't mean that he can't be killed either." 

Lady Ashley's words were more than any shock to Alice's ears. Her wide eyes were already not able to extract the information which traveled into her ears. 'Did Prince Alex really go to that extent to kill Cyrus?'

She wouldn't be shocked because at her place as well, there are many enemies residing under their own shelter.

However, this was least expected here, especially when Princess Alice wasn't expecting herself to be in the same danger as others. 

"Y-You are saying that prince Alex is... still after everything and Queen is also..supporting him?'' Princess Alice can't help but ask with her still bewildered expressions.

However, to her dismay lady, Ashley only kept a subtle smile over her face. 

"You are still new. As I told you, many things will unfold at their own pace." Ashley's words made Alice's heart jump at a rapid pace. She still has not been able to come to terms…

However, both the ladies were constantly walking around the castle. It was wide and giant, which Alice concluded.

In fact, she could understand how vast this must be to be handled by two different ladies and concubines. However, she could totally feel that Lady Ashley had a good influence... yet not as that of Lady Sierra and Lady Tia.

Probably because she is the youngest one, and when she came, she only got hatred of others. It was natural since most of the concubines and Ladies must not get along.

'Who knows how she and Lady Aura can handle things together… even when the other ladies aren't even on good terms…' At a certain point while talking and in the middle of the tour which she gave, Alice realized that at some time… she will also land in such a position...

Being the Bride of the Crowned Prince wasn't as good as she thought it to be..

When Lady Ashley noted her downcasted shoulders, she kept her hand over hers, "What are you thinking about, Alice?"

There was a softness in her voice, which invaded the guards of Alice, which were already high. Initially, she had kept her lips totally sealed in the hope of not letting herself reveal too many things either.

But the voice from inside her was telling her to speak it. Maybe, Lady Ashley will be helpful in her worries as well? Taking a deep breath, Alice maintained her composure before she opened her eyes again to look at the lady with a slightly worried grin near her lips. 

"You already know about his Alliance. Humans and vampires aren't advised to mate either. But for the throne, Kingdom will need children, to survive and be secure. Actually, Prince Cyrus will also mar-"

"...You are afraid that Cyrus will marry other ladies and you will be left in no position?" she can't help but ask, as Lady Ashley guessed her uneasiness already.

It was very much evident on her face and Alice's body language gave the same signal. 

Meanwhile, Alice gulped the saliva present in her mouth while staring at the lady with her longing eyes. "You are correct...won't that be the worst situation... I will also stand in the situation where you are...."

"I don't think so you will," answered Lady Ashley, where her confident grin had traced her lips. It gave her an unavoidable boost to her strong will, as it was of no use since she will always be someone, who has the same title... 

She can't bear children for him, neither can she actually be one of those who will remain childless. Whereas lady Ashley was giving her some confident vibe, enough to make her heart skip a beat as well. She won't deny either that it was unusual someone.... 

As Alice's brown lifted as she asked, "What do you mean to say?"

"Prince Cyrus has seen many things in his life till now. He has seen the fewd that keeps going among the different ladies and their children since his example of the same." Hearing this, Alice's lips turned into a straight line. 

Lady Ashley continued, "I don't think he will marry tons of the ladies either. Yes, to secure the lineage of the throne, he might go ahead and have one more lady on his side. You might have to bear one lady....and that too, only if you aren't able to give him children....which you might not as we all know..." lady Ashley didn't need to complete her words either. 

While Alice had to maintain her pure composure, her cheeks did turn red. She wasn't sure why but it made her feel the saddest moment in her life as if she was going to be under the heavyweight of something. 

"I understand." was all she replied back before, another maid came across them.

She, first of all, bowed down and then settled herself in the Princess's direction, "it is the Queen's message. She is actually seeking your presence in her personal garden. If you can please come, princess Alice..."

"Queen Elizabeth?" Alice once again asked, to which she got a vigorous nod. 

As the wordings trailed into her ears, she rotated herself to look at the Lady beside her, who had blinked her eyes altogether. Her jaw had uttered, as it was no very much amusing tone either. But to not come in the bad books the Queen, she finally bid goodbye to the Lady Ashley, who didn't mind it either.

Walking with the maid, she guided her towards the lobbies where they finally appeared in the personal garden belonging to Queen. It was huge, she guessed it was more vast as compared to the one she saw earlier of Cyrus's mother. 

Blinking her eyes, princess Alice had kept her hand in front of her body while keeping a faint smile that lingered on her lips.

The maid lead her to the garden where she signaled her in another direction, "Princess, please lead your way in that direction. Queen is waiting there."

"Thank you then.." Alice answered before she walked ahead to finally arrive near where the Queen was sitting on her chair and sipping out of her cup. 

Coughing a bit, first of all, Alice gained her attention, when Queen Elizabeth finally turned around to look at the Princess.

A small smile had covered her lips, "You are finally here. Come, sit with me, Princess."

"Thank you for calling me here, Queen." Alice kept it formal where she took the seat that was opposite to the Queen. 

Keeping herself in a confident manner, Alice had kept her head high despite feeling the chills down her spine for meeting with the Queen impersonal.

As the Queen stared at the lady in front of her, she couldn't help but smile at her as well, "The day you arrived, I knew that you were immensely beautiful. And today, I had a better look at you."

"Thank you, your highness, for the compliment. But I must say, you are no less." Alice had passed on the same compliment, despite not finding the Queen even so attractive either.

The lady looked at her with a soft smile, "That is kind of you to say this for me. But I appreciate your words."

In response, Alice gave her a sweet smile. Her hands had clutched together into the one but there was no trace of uneasiness either on her face. "You called me here?"

"Since you have come here as the wife of Prince Cyrus, I thought I should have a few talks with you. The conversation was supposed to be at a better and quiet place rather than with all of them together." The Queen had kept her same expressions throughout as if she had a very chief concern to convey to her.

In the back of her mind, Alice didn't trust her. But fact that she was important since she is the Queen of their Kingdom. "You're most welcome to say whatever you wish to."

"Well.. why don't you have a drink that is served.." The Queen motioned at the drink that was kept in the small cup. Her eyes traveled to stare at it with her round eyes, "T-this.. "

"Don't worry, this doesn't contain blood." Elizabeth gave her assurance.

On getting her the assurance, Alice gathered her courage to finally bring her hands forward to hold it up. Wrapping her fingers on the cup, she took it in her lap.

But when the Queen noted that she had finally taken it into her hands, she cleared her mind while having a few expressions, "Princess Alice, I heard that it wasn't you but your cousin who was supposed to marry your Prince. Is that correct?"

"Correct." Alice didn't give much insight either.

"But then what actually happened? Why would you replace her position and marry Prince Cyrus? How come the council even agreed?"
