Cedric cursed under his breath after taking a sharp look of that creature. At the same time, he wondered that perhaps his fate would become the same if he teased this dangerous woman any further!
Well, he couldn't help with that!
Guilt flashed from her eyes when she looked down at the painful creature. She just only wanted to scold herself for being so incapable when it came to control her own powers. This was the not the very first time of her impulsive behavior. Since her early childhood, she used to lose control of her temper. In a result, her both nature activated and made a havoc across the place.
Cedric studied her uneasy emotions. Her hands were still shaking lightly after the outcome. He asked softly clutching one of her shaking hand,
" You okay, Princess?"
His soft voice wavered her heart more. Her muffled sobs became irresistible as she whispered between her barely parted lips,
" Take.. take me..out from..here.."
Cedric obeyed and wandered his eyes around sharply. After his arrival, the place had came back to its own natural state. Because of her chaotic mind, she even forgot to notice that the sky was no longer dark as night.
Then without taking her permission, he crunched down and scooped the woman in his bare arms. Ayra didn't show any sign of stopping and clung to his shoulders willingly. She wanted to feel safe and sound. Surprisingly his embrace worked magically on her body. Her tensed nerves relaxed subconsciously as soon as she hopped on his arms.
Angelica was the most shocked person there. Her eyes stayed unblinkingly on the creature down. This creature was none other than the infamous guard "Sirius" of their world. These creatures were being used to guard any particular place which required strict observant. Even rumours said that the ancient kings of Dixon Clan had lost their lives when they went to tame them. Needless to say that they had the power of creating hallucination in front of anyone's eyes. Angelica wandered that how did she manage to hurt this powerful creatures!
It seemed like this little fairy didn't seem so weak as she thought to be!
Cedric made his way back inside the BALVINA's castle. Guards exchanged awestruck look when they saw Cedric carrying his wife in his arms. Ayra noticed their suspicious eyes. She was little embarrassed and whispered lowly,
" Put me down! They are watching us! "
Cedric didn't pause and scoffed looking disdainfully at the row of guards standing both of their sides,
" Who dare to look at us? Let me see! "
The guards trembled lightly after his words. They kept their head down longingly and didn't lift up until their back dissapared behind the door.
Seselia reacted fast when they stepped into the hallway. She cried out in surprise jumping off from her chair,
" What happened to sister-in-law?"
Robert who was busy in chatting with his butler looked up at their way. A little taken back, he stood up and asked in a worried voice,
" What happened? Did she get hurt?"
Cedric didn't pause and replied wandering his gaze across the hallway to lay her down,
" She just got hyped by your monstrous creature from Mystic Grove."
Robert was startled by the information. He wandered how did she end up entering into the Mystic Grove. Looking down at Ayra's pale face, he dismissed the thoughts momentarily and suggested leading the way of upstairs,
" Take her inside the guestroom. She needs rest first."
Cedric compelled before striding through the stairs with a dark face. He wandered what would have happened to her if he arrived a little lately.
•• WHITE CASTLE, DALASTIA••
The environment inside the familiy had finally turned usual. They finally came to a realization that their daughter was married off and they could no longer control her life.
The whole family were having breakfast together except Arthur who got out first urgently after having his breakfast. Esme was distributing foods among her children when the door opened appearing three women side by side.
Esme looked up and smiled at Elizabeth and her family. Except Elizabeth, her younger sister Elisa was also standing by their side in her floral pink gown. Elisa gave a toothy smile to the crowd when Elizabeth remained cold faced.
Esme greeted the newly arrived members with a smile,
" Mrs Castillo! Please come inside! I was thinking about visiting your house today."
Dora returned a shipping smile and entered with her daughters,
" I would be honored, Your Highness! You both looked so isolated yesterday. I thought of taking my daughters to accompany you."
Esme appreciated her kind gesture and gestured at the empty seats nearby,
" Of course, we enjoy being accompanied by your daughters. Please have a seat."
Dora walked forward to seat on the chair and greeted the other members one by one. Elizabeth was left behind and secretly casted a glance at Alexander who was eating his breakfast indifferently.
She quickly withdrawed her gaze before others could notice her. Just when she picked up her feet to move on the table, Arthur rushed in from nowhere.
He was always very open with his behavior. Without caring about others watching them, Arthur grabbed Elizabeth's arms excitedly and started to drag her out of the hallway,
" You came back, finally! I have something to show you. Come with me! I have drawn for the first time! You must see first."
Elizabeth even didn't get the time of stopping him. She was pulled and pushed by Arthur all the while. The crowd laughed at his childlike behavior except Alexander whose face suddenly sank.
He tried his best to not look at them but subconsciously his eyes travelled on the spot in where Arthur touched Elizabeth's arms. A sudden ache formed from his heart and his mood dropped visibly.
Mrs Dora didn't let go of the chance of buttering up the Royals. She spoke with a wide smile hanging from her lips,
" This two! Still so childish! Just like match made in heaven! "
Alexander paused between his drinking abruptly and swallowed the rest with discomfort. Wiping his lips off uncomfortablely, he whispered shortly before making his way out,
