Chapter 86: Celebration!

Princess Alice didn't miss the opportunity to come back to her chamber immediately. She was feeling like she was walking but in reality, she has been running for a long time. Her breath was heavier than usual, with her entire face filled with the redness spreading alongside. 'Was that needed for him to act so rudely?' 

She can't help but feel the tight grips around her heart. Subconsciously, Alice's hand traveled to hold her chest and massage it beneath the cloth. Knowing that nothing could be changed, she found it much more impactful.

But her mind was still drawn to everything that happened back. Steeping inside her chamber, Alice had closed the door behind her. Carrying the lost expressions that have been implanted on her face, she came straightaway towards her bed to sit there, recalling the time when she had seen the lady Sharon's face. 

'She was beautiful..but...why was she so against me? And she said that we will believe in the same castle. Whose daughter is she to hold such power to live in the same castle?' it equipped her interest. 

Despite the multiple attempts to let this thought wander out from her mind, it wasn't done effortlessly. Thinking that Prince Cyrus must be still standing with the same lady, ripped her heart. "And...this...man had the audacity to literally...don't know who she is..." 

"But he said that he doesn't have feelings for anyone. So, is her feelings for Cyrus one-sided?" She can't help but mumble under her breath. To her disbelief, it wasn't as she had expected either. 

In the back of her mind, princess Alice was finding herself in the mud of confusion. Turning of emotions, carrying hundreds of thoughts, even made her senses run in their different ways. Unfortunately, Princess Alice stayed at her place, without moving an inch. 

The events were hard to pass by, but she had taken a note, mentally in her mind. "Hmm....Let's see if prince Cyrus..actually gives me any benefits explanation about today's events or not.." 

.....

The first day at the Gazelle Empire got over very soon. The night had been drawn and Princess Alice was served in her chamber for the night. It was her assigned ladies who brought food for her, and she was grateful for not leaving her secured place to meet others. 

Till now, her interaction was limited with the people. Except for the Queen and the lady Ashley, no one had personally invited her. In the hole of her heart, she was extremely pleased, as, with the time, she would proceed to interact with the other vampires too. 

After having her meal in peace, both her maids helped her to get out from her Royal dress and then into her nightgown. While sitting in front of the mirror, she stared at her own reflection, before asking. "Do you guys know when the Crown Prince will arrive?" 

"My lady, I think Crowned prince will be late. Usually, he must be discussing the strategies with general Ryan. Or probably, having some liquor with his soldiers." 

It was Isa who busted her query but that didn't change the expressions of Alice, who was still not finished. "But..is it the same with the other vampires as well?" 

"No Princess. Mostly, all the other vampires use this time to grow their powers. They spend the time with the other ladies, I mean...the concubines which have been outside in their harem and drinks....blood to strengthen themselves. But for Prince Cyrus, the same can't be said since he avoids it." 

"Why so?" 

"Because Prince Cyrus doesn't like to be involved with the others." came a simple answer from Maria, while she removed the pins from her hair.

But her answer did give many clues to Alice, whose eyes dimmed down to stare at herself again, finding herself smiling at her figure. 'Seems like he will not come sooner..' 

With this thought, she had let the maids do their work and she was soon ready to go back to the other bed. But even though it was already late in the night, she felt there was no presence of prince Cyrus. Having the hints that she has been staying in his personal chamber, it was sure in her eyes that he won't go somewhere else 'But why is he not back till yet?' 

Since the time she fought with Lady Sharon, he hadn't shown himself. Was he angry? the thought ruptured her heart. 

Yet not dwelling on the thought much, Princess Alice stayed mum and took the blanket over her body to drift back to sleep..in her dreamland... 

....

In the middle of the night, it was the noise that broke her sleep and snapped her out of the dizziness. Even though she was feeling extremely lazy in her place, the sudden noise of something being hit and breaking jolted her badly, to immediately sit back on her bed, to see the sight of the Prince, at the corner of the chamber. 

He was stumbling in his actions and the strong smell gave her the sense that he wasn't even his senses. "Cyrus..."

Removing the blanket, her legs touched the cold floor beneath before she wore her slippers to walk closer to him. Since Alice had straightaway gone to sleep, most of the lamps of the chamber were already blown off. 

But the few were kept lit since Cyrus was still not inside. 

In the pitch darkness, princess Alice walked closer to this body, where his strong scent entered into her nostril, making a frown appear, "Y-You...what.."

"Pr-Princes...Alice.....y-you..aren't...asleep?" he questioned while making a shocked face.

What princess Alice came across, was to find his nose already blazing red. In fact, his ears also contained the same color, to the extent that his eyes weren't in the same position. 'He drank with others?' she won't be surprised, since most of the Royalties have fun after the marriage..

"Did you have liquor with others?" She asked, with her half-serious tone, to which prince Cyrus vigorously gave her a nod. "It-..was..a celebration." 

"Celebration of the Alliance happening ?" till now Alice had brought her hands together in front of her chest. "It must have been good. But...what happened to you? How are you going to sleep with this…behavior?" 

"I..I..will try to sleep," he said in his stumbling voice before Cyrus made his way to the bed. Being totally unstable in his actions, he slowly and steadily, tried his best to take a fee step. 

Unfortunately, it was out of his hand when he was on the edge of being landed on the ground, only if Princess Alice's actions hadn't hit up and she didn't hold him. "CYRUS! Careful…." 

"T-thank…you.." he rotated his head to see her face. She was holding his left shoulder when Alice had already wrapped her one hand around his waist and the other on his shoulder. "Let me..guide you to the bed." 

"Hmm.." without rebelling either, Cyrus let Alice carry him to the bed. 

With the slow steps in between, Alice managed to bring him to the bed. It was hard as compared to what she had considered. 'He is truly heavy..' Moreover, his height made it almost impossible for her to manage him. 

Lying peacefully on the bed, Alice removed his boots. They were as large as she had seen of her brother but peacefully, she had attempted to let him drift to sleep. 

While she noted prince Cyrus was already deadly drunk, she was sure that he will not wake up till the next morning. 'That is good for me at least. He will not annoy me..' at the same time, she had already removed his boots and his upper arm. 

Keeping them safely on the other side of the chamber, Alice went back to the other side of the bed to finally take the blanket over her body and also pass the other side of the blanket over his. 

As Alice's eyes traced him sleeping already peacefully, her lips turned into a straight line. Moreover, the frown on her forehead had started to relax as she realized that he had no idea that she was currently staring at his face... 

'Why does he appear to be totally soft... when he sleeps?' Alice can't help but wonder.

"Sleep Now." was all she muttered, before keeping her head on the pillow and drifting out of sleep...having no idea that she was soon going to be woken up again.. 

…..

The night had gotten darker with the time. But it was soon going to be morning as well. Yet, there was still time for the sun to rise from the east, as Alice was comfortably sleeping on her bed. 

'Um...' she was purely in her dreamland when the relaxed smile had traced her lips. But then, a certain husky voice made the goosebumps appear on the back of her skin. 

"Wake up....I need to take you somewhere.."
