Ayra was still awestruck by his answer. When her sense returned, the man had already started picking clothes for himself.
Reminding of their next visit to BALVINA, she made her way to the cabinet to choose a better attire. One could tell after peering at her cabinet that Cedric had picked all best dresses of city for her. Sometimes she felt lost after scattering through all the lavishing dresses.
Her eyes stopped on a black gown. Without a second thought, she picked up the gown and went to change inside the washroom. Cedric's grin deepened behind her running back. He tapped on his chin dramatically and wasn't happy on the fact that Ayra still reserved herself from him.
An hour later, they both headed outside side by side. Ayra was now wearing a stone worked light black gown and was looking stunning. The crown on her head highlighted her beauty more emphasizingly. Cedric couldn't help but looking at her occasionally. His eyes beholds the admiration of her beauty.
Coming down to the hallway, they saw Isabella who was preparing breakfast for her Younger one, Jessie. Watching them together, she gave them an overwhelming smile before gesturing,
" You guys are up expected than earlier. Come have a seat."
Ayra watched her movements with a smile. Isabella looked nothing like a Princess but a loving sister who loved to work for her family. Though they had countless number of maids, she was stationing the plates with her own hands. Furthermore she was crossing her final trimester.
Ayra spoke with concern,
" Sister Isabella, you shouldn't be doing this. You are pregnant. Let the maids take care of it."
Isabella smiled widely at her concern. She answered grabbing the jar while pouring the juice down in a glass,
" Don't scold me like my brother, Ayra. I am doing nothing hard. It's just serving breakfast."
Cedric snapped his head slightly at Ayra. Though they didn't start off well, he could tell that she had a caring heart. They met only for a day and she was already caring about Isabella. A faint smile formed on his lips when no one noticed.
Cedric replied stepped forward lazily,
" Sister, we are heading for BALVINA. Uncle has invited us for breakfast with his family."
Her grip on the jar trembled a little as she looked up at Cedric with worry. Putting down the jar quickly, she spoke frowning harder,
" BALVINA? Cedric, why did you accept their invitation? Don't you know about Sienna's mother? Besides Ayra is completely new here. Don't put her in trouble at the beginning."
Cedric shrugged his shoulders off before answering,
" She will know sooner or later. She isn't that weak sister. Don't worry. We are visiting with Arcabous and Debisa."
Isabella's back stiffened after listening to him. She supported her protruding belly carefully and spoke again while walking out from the rows of chairs,
" You sure are obsessed to pull their legs. Why must you take that two?"
Cedric replied straightening his collar,
" People should know their status before come and speak to me. Anyways we are going in."
Cedric spoke and pulled Ayra's arms with him. Ayra stumbled before matching with his pace and gave Isabella a weak smile who remained dumbfounded behind.
Walking out of the hallway, they came to the open space in front of the palace slowly. Ayra saw with curiousity as Cedric stepped forward before clapping his both of palms together.
She kept staring at him as curiousity draped her face. Out of nose, an animalistic snarl broke out through the satin sky above. The velocity was too much as she felt like the entire palace got a slight tremble. Stepping backward instinctively, she looked up to see the sky.
Her eyes slightly parted in amusement when two gigantic dragons made their ways down here. She almost held her breathing when the heavy wind of their wings flapping passed across her face.
They flew over the sky few times before making their way down there. Guards faltered and left the space for their downfall consideringly.
They snarled at Cedric habitually and made a gesture of bow. Ayra saw the proud smile on Cedric's face as they landed.
She swallowed but didn't dare to approach them at once. Cedric glanced at Ayra who were standing far away from them and called out lovingly,
" Princess..Come here.."
Ayra hesitated but continued walking on his way. Before meeting the dragons, she was excited and imagined them as babies. But when the reality came, she wanted nothing else but to fly away.
She stepped beside Cedric before murmuring fearfully,
" I don't find it good idea to visit with them. What if they hurt me? They don't know me anyways."
Cedric chuckled at her response and replied while running his hand across Debisa's head,
" Scared?"
Ayra didn't feel ashamed to accept and nodded her head affirmatively. Cedric grinned before leaning his head down to whisper in her ears,
" Don't be afraid, Princess. I have already merged my scent into you. They will eventually acknowledge you as my queen."
Ayra felt a burn on her cheeks. He definitely refered to the shameful play that they had last night. She glared at him fiercely only to hear him laughing out loud in humor.
Cedric encouraged bringing her fair hand to place on Debisa's giant head,
" Come and patt his head. Let him become comforted in your presence."
Ayra wanted to take back her hand but Cedric kept it firm and put it down on Debisa's head. The dragon named Debisa snarled unhappily at first but didn't dare to act violent as Cedric's warning eyes had on him. His eyes were telling like if you dare to act rude, you are dead Debisa.
Under such heavy pressure from his master, Debisa could only allow Ayra to pat. A satisfied smile flashed across her face when Debisa stayed obedient under her touches.
Cedric sighed secretly in relief and let go of his own hands. Smiling at Ayra whose eyes were full of Debisa, he spoke with arrogancy,
" See..I told you.. Nothing won't happen.."
Ayra agreed moving on other side to touch his head again,
" Hmm..He is a good boy.."
Cedric smiled before turning around to check on Arcabous who was snarling on other side. Ayra continued staying with Debisa and studied his features excitedly. Her eyes sparkled in excitement everytime he made a snarling noise.
Everything was okay untill Ayra's hand came in view of Debisa's lavatic eyes. Something formed in his mind as his eyes suddenly started burning in rage.
