Tears spewd from her eyes when she uttered those words. Master Ambert stared hardly at her face. After exhaling a blissful sigh through his mouth, he gestured at her, pointing at the ground to take back her position. Plodding over on his way, Ayra sat on the ground, bringing her attention on Master Ambert whose eyebrows were knitted tightly now.
He allowed her to speak kindly,
" Tell me more, Lady. What did you see there?"
Ayra nodded wiping the corner of her eyes. She elaborated each and everything that happened in the soul land except the part that she met Nora throughout the process. She assumed that Nora's part was too emotional for Master Ambert. Hence, she decided to save it for later until they were done with her own business. The more, she pronounced each and every words that Enchantress said before she left, the more Master Ambert had lost the color from his face. His forehead prickled in fear and assumptions that he made earlier before sending her away in soul land.
After finishing her explanation in a breath, Ayra muttered through her low sobs,
" Tell me, what did she mean Master Ambert? Why did she mention love and kill together?"
It wasn't a question but debate which had left her mind puzzled. Hearing from her mother's stories, she could imagine that Enchantress had never done something good to her. Master Ambert fell into deep thoughts. His brain begun to collect the hints that she received from soul land and everything provided him only one clear meaning. His expression darkened more. He felt deeply sorrow for Ayra who wasn't taking her eyes off from his face.
Master Ambert hung his head down as he hesitated to spill out the truth in front of her. Consoling her with lies was no better option for now. Putting his hesitations away, he explained softly,
" She..she casted a complicated curse on you, Lady..If I am not wrong completely, you will be the reason for your lover's death. Not only that, you are fated to the true demon that includes your power to demolish the demon existence on earth. She..she intended to give you immense pain through your love. If I..I am not thinking wrong, that demon is your husband."
The suffocating feeling held her breath down into her stomach. She had a feeling of loosing her soul right after the moment, Master Ambert had narrated the possibilities of her curse. If he revealed it one month earlier, she would have felt happy to hear this. Right now, everything changed between them as she begun to discover the lies within him. He wasn't the cruel demon that the world envisioned until now. He was just another abandoned child who was left behind in darkeness without his mother alone in this earth. No one listened his cries when he woke up at midnight or no one sang him lullaby when he couldn't get into sleep at night. After spending days with him, she discovered all of his sides caring, loving and dangerous.
How could she become the reason behind his death after loosing her heart to this man?
Her tears poured down relentlessly as the pain begun to turn heavy into her heart like a stone. After letting out a shuddering breath, she questioned Master Ambert expectantly,
" How...how can I revoke this curse, Master Ambert? Is there any way?"
Master Ambert shook his head negatively, dissapointing her. Pulling his eyes on her, he breathed out his words truthfully,
" I am sorry, my lady. But I don't see any way either you die or he needs to be killed first. This is the only way to remove this curse. The worst part from this curse is that we don't know when it will happen. It is depending on you absolutely."
Ayra sighed out painfully. If this was the case, she needed to be killed first before she became the reason of his death. Pulling the sorrows back of her mind, she requested Master Ambert,
" Please don't tell about this anything to his highness. I don't want him to do anything impulsively."
Master Ambert agreed with her this time. From what he saw, their demon king was in love with this girl despite his arrogance, cruelty and evilness. He would go any extent to save her which held another meaning that he would risk his own life to save her possibly. Basarisk would be unprotected and as a master of goodness, he couldn't allow that. So it was best for him to keep it hidden from Cedric.
Ayra stood up from the ground, bowing at Master Ambert respectively,
" I have to return now, Master or else he will come here to get me."
She turned around to leave hastily but realization hit her hard when she remembered the staff that Nora left for him. Whirling around, she passed him the badge and explained shortly with a smile,
" Nora asked you to return this, Master. Also please don't wait for her anymore. She is happy with her love over there."
Ayra quickly dropped the badge into his plams, quickly taking her departure as Cedric was waiting for her probably. Master Ambert remained stunned at his place. Tears pricked from his eyes at her retreating back as he clutched the badge bitterly. He realized at the end of his life that being stubborn could be dangerous sometimes.
Meanwhile, Ayra soon caught up with Cedric who was pacing back and forth under a tree. As he heard her footsteps, he rushed over to her in big steps. Ayra had regained her calm composure before appearing on his sight. Cedric blurted frowning hard at her pretentious expression,
" Princess, what happened with you there? Why are you hiding it from me?"
Ayra ignored his piercing eyes as he questioned her, staring at her face suspiciously. She mumbled trying to dodge off the question,
" This is my business, Cedric. I would like to manage it on my own, please."
Hurt crossed over his expression after she indicated that he had no right to do anything with her matters. Cedric gripped her wrists tightly, pulling her closer to ask furiously,
" Then tell me, what am I to you? Your lover, your husband or just someone whom you married on force?hmm?"
