The air heavied between them once Frenchies annouced the most unexpected person at this moment in front of them. Ayra was still in daze when she heard Cedric replying with a hint of irritation in his voice,
" I will be right there to greet the king, Frenchies. You may leave."
Elizabeth jerked slightly by the mockery of Cedric's tone. Since she was clueless about Oscar and his ill intentions, she didn't try to be noisy here. Ayra casted Cedric a concerned look when he turned around to walk away. Looking at his dissaparing figure, her heart heavied in worry. She didn't want to see the father and son fighting again. But at the same time, there was nothing that she could do at least.
Elizabeth's excited voice snapped her thoughts who was already proceeding towards the front garden,
" Princess, let's show this pups your castle. They would be very delighted to live in castle."
Pushing away her worries momentarily, Ayra followed Elizabeth into the back garden and solemnly hoped that Cedric would sort out his confrontation with his father.
When the time came and Cedric made his way inside one of his castle's room to meet the visitor, Oscar had his back turned towards him. His aura seemed gloomy. Crossing his arms behind his back, he was looking outside something that Cedric didn't know.
His boot clicking sound didn't affect on Oscar's standing posture. Walking over to his chair, Cedric pulled it out casually and plopped down with a thud before taking a comfortable position. As if it was his natural posture to sit down, Cedric lifted his legs to place them over the desk.
Tilting his head aside, he spoke with a dark chuckle,
" I hope, you had a pleasent vacation, father."
Oscar turned to glare at his unfilial son who had an evil smirk hanging on his face. Judging by his cold and static expression, Cedric had already assumed that his father didn't change his decision and came around to annoy him for another decade possibly.
Oscar's voice came out as cold and flat,
" You know why am I here, Cedric."
Cedric laughed throwing his head back. His composure didn't change and he replied with sarcasm lacing out from his tone evidently,
" I shouldn't be sitting here if I didn't guess why you made a decent appearance rather than a sneaky one. It's a pity that I don't like to welcome intruder or masked people."
Oscar held his rage after releasing deep breath. He softened his tone to convince Cedric with his words since he needed this favor from him only,
" Cedric! I have met your mother's soul meantime."
Cedric's expression didn't change by his response. Dropping his legs from the table lazily, he replied with a grin,
" Awesome! What did she say? Send you over there to her?"
Oscar's face darkened in anger after he made fun of his words. Loosing control from his rage, he shouted looking at Cedric hatefully,
" You shameless!! I am here talking about your mother's wish. How dare you make fun of my words?"
Cedric remained calm as if he didn't hear him yelling. He hissed annoyingly and asked raising his brows tightly,
" Quite father! That's what she should ask since you aren't in your mind this days. Tell me, what did you talk with her? I guess, it wasn't a romantic date between you two."
Oscar held back his another round of rage with difficulties. There was no point of arguing with him since Cedric was the only one who could solve this issue. Oscar opened his mouth to speak again,
" She assured me that everything that I had been asked to do was true. She can really come back to life if we give her..."
Oscar paused midway of his words hesitantly. This time, Cedric lifted his head up doubtly. Cedric gestured him to speak with his chin,
" Give her what father?"
Oscar opened his mouth coldly,
" She needs someone from vampire blood and your wife is the best choice for now. I know, someone like you doesn't care for her. It's time that you repay your mother's sacrifice, Cedric."
Cedric crossed his legs leisurely and looked up at his father calmly before saying,
" Why do you think that I should listen to you, father?"
Oscar retorted trying to make a suitable reason with her unreasonable logics,
" Because she killed you for your sake, damn it. She cut her throat in front of me. How can you still be so calm when I am telling you that your mother can come back?"
Cedric sneered coldly before replying back,
" Was it only because of me or you cornered her to death,father? Just because you couldn't protect your own wife, I should sacrifice my own. Bullshit! This is the last time I am telling. Keep..Ayra.. away.. from..our..mess..or.. else.."
Cedric's warning voice paused before falling on the nearby board that had a lot of knifes digged into it. Oscar didn't stop yelling and stepped forward with another bark,
" What? What will you do to me, Cedric? Don't forget that I can still take my throne. You.. don't..ah."
His words were stuck between his throat when he spotted several aiming knives towards him which were floating in midair. Tearing his eyes from those knives, he turned around to look at Cedric whose eyes were now burning like volcano. His demon had crawled on surface to kill the former king. Oscar knew that Cedric's one single would put an end of his life.
Oscar gritted his teeth together in burning rage. All this years, he never asked anything from Cedric but now when he did, Cedric was refusing him to give it to him
So what if his wife was killed just like Jasmine? At least, he would get his mother back.
Oscar reasoned inside his mind and was getting more angered by his actions. Turning his eyes back to glare at Cedric, Oscar taunted with a cold sneer,
" What are you to threat me, Cedric? You aren't the true Demon after all."

I am thinking about releasing a short trailer based on Silas & Isabella's side story. What do you think?
