" Do you come here too often?", Ayra questioned Jessie as they took over their position around a table inside a chaotic inn.
Yes, the place was suitable to be called as Chaotic for someone like Ayra who never visited Inn. According to her mother, a prestigious princess like her shouldn't ever visit such place like Inn ever. Ayra looked around, surprised to find out that most of the men came from prominent families. They all had one half naked woman in their arms to warm their lap. Ayra was certain about the fact that their wives weren't aware of their timing in this place. Strangely she was glad to know that at least, Cedric didn't hide his playboy attitude from her nor did he ever attempted to hide that he had bedded many women. Honesty was really the first step to slip into a woman heart and seemed like Cedric had successfully passed the initial step.
Jessie hummed tugging down the hoodie over her face more longingly. She brought two coats with hoodies on their way to enter this inn. Since the bloody incident that happened in the Inn, Jessie wandered around in disguise to avoid troubles. Now that Ayra had joined with her, she was extra careful and feared that others would recognize Ayra. As they spent more time together, Jessie began to like Ayra because she could see through her mind. Ayra was a pure soul who was always very open about her wantings. In the world or creatures, powers were the only thing that they were proud of. Even being the first born hybrid who had powers of two most powerful creatures, Ayra had never seen proud in her eyes and her concern regarding their late mother was genuine in her eyes.
Ayra's curious eyes looked around, finding the men in pitch black robes who appeared cold on expression. Her thoughts wandered about their identities but it was soon diverted away when a man came to serve them fresh wine.
Ayra noticed that Jessie's eyes shone in excitement after she saw the wine and her tongue slipped out to salivate her lips. Ayra chuckled lightly at her reaction. Though Jessie was a girl, most of her actions were similar like men and sometimes like Cedric.
Jessie passed her a single glass and heard the staff who served asking them with a big grin,
" Ladies..If you want any boy..we can also provide some to serve you.."
Ayra almost choked herself in her own saliva. Jessie who was eager to take a sip shot him a bewildering look. Bringing the glass between her lips, she muttered flashing him an awful grin,
" No need! I still wish to spend more time in this planet."
The stuff looked confused but Ayra caught the underlined meaning and shook her head helplessly. The siblings looked so distant but they knew each of their natures the best. Jessie knew the consequences if she ordered any boy to serve them. The stuff didn't interrupt their moment anymore and went back with a dissapointed look.
After a long ages, the taste of wine was heavenly inside her mouth. Ayra couldn't help but gulping down her wine greedily. Jessie was right about her judgement. After devouring wine, she was feeling lightheaded and those puzzled thoughts began to calm down eventually.
Reminding off those words that Grandpa told to her, Ayra's momentum turned a little serious. Placing the glass in front of Jessie, she questioned casually without showing any sign of seriousness on her face,
" Sister Jessie... What do you know about Cedric? I mean his powers.. or anything else?"
As they were in friendly atmosphere, Jessie didn't mind her asking more than necessary. She shrugged bringing another glass to drink,
" Nothing! You know that we don't like each others. I didn't even visit him in his childhood days. But.."
Jessie paused between her words and Ayra narrowed her eyes, giving her full attention on her words. Jessie licked the corner of her lips and replied after a painful exhale,
" Mother was full aware of his nature. I mean, she used to argue with Dad often in the past. Why do you ask?"
Ayra shurgged pondering a little before speaking,
" Just curious!!"
Ayra finally made all the conclusions inside her thoughts. Except Lady Jasmine, no one actually had any clear idea about demon like Cedric who was one on earth. She believed to see through the truths first then believe on someone's else words because a person can manipulate you with their words easily.
Ayra controlled her urge of devouring more liquor as she didn't want to go back to castle in drunk state. Cedric might suspect their private visit to Grandpa and would go mad on both of them.
To save both of them from dreadful consequences, Ayra suggested pulling her hoodie down consideringly,
" I should go back to Palace now. Your brother may suspect me, Sister Jessie."
Jessie had the same thought as they had came out too long ago. She replied loosing herself into the taste of heaven,
" Umm..Yes, Ayra..You should return now.. Don't think about me. If he asks, just tell that I have left for the inn. I would like to spend more time here."
Ayra was slightly worried for Jessie but knowing that she was familiar with this place, she agreed later on and stood up to leave after biding farewell. Lucky, no one recognized her and it was easy to leave under the veil of hoodie.
After Ayra left for Dixon Palace, Jessie ordered two more strong liquor. She deliberately didn't order them in present of Ayra as she wasn't very comfortable with wines like her.
After it was served in front of her and she reached out to grab a glass, an unfamiliar voice rang from her back, halting her action,
" Excuse me, Young Lady! May I join you?"

Clarification From Author:
Sorry about missing the mass release event. Before you start blaming me,let me say something in advance. We were in strict lockdown for the past 2 years in our country for COVID. Our institutions has just reopened from last month. During my earlier days of writing, I had nothing to do except writing and that's the reason, I used to give strict regular updates. But now I will be joining university for higher studies and is still going through several official procedures.(Last day, I was called out to give a viva and missed the mass release update) I am only 19 and haven't even entered in University until now. So you can understand my situation but I try my best to update regularly unless I am too much drained out.. To reward all, this week I will update 3 chapters per day and hope, you can understand my situation as a human being. Love you all for supporting this book~ 2 more chapters will be coming within next few hours ~
