Chapter 34: What Not To Be Heard

"The Dark General they called you"

Cedric made a hmm sound.

"I haven't heard that name in years," he said as if reminiscing a lost past.

The Dark General? a name they called him? the mere name sent chills down my spine, I wondered why they called him that.

"Beowulf, what news do you have for me?"

At the name my eyes finally caught notice of the black wolf beside him, bigger than the actual size, I swallowed a breath in shock.

What in the god's name was a wolf doing here? Within the Castle walls? How did it get in?

"The Emperor's health is diminishing"

The wolf could talk, was that even possible? An animal could talk, I knew the world was strange with all magical beings but I didn't imagine a wolf itself.

Wait... did it just mention the Emperor? Was the Emperor sick?

"As expected, humans are always such fragile beings, he has carried too much for his age to bear"

What was this? He talked about it like he wasn't human himself, the way he said the words human-like he belittled them... and more his mention in the Emperor's health sounded like he knew it to happen.

I covered my mouth, did Cedric have a hand in the Emperor's illness?

Cedric raised his hand observing it.

"The laws of this world are ever constant, the heart of men is always filled with desire" he states like a poetic, this was strange, hearing him speak this way, I knew Cedric was always a strange man but now he was completely different, I couldn't understand why.

"Magnus, do you feel now?" Beowulf asked the voice sounding in bewilderment.

Was he not meant to feel? He's human after all right? They are meant to feel, why was the wolf sounding surprised.

"Are your memories back?"

"I haven't recall anything, it's still blank... but it's this feeling"

What are they talking about? Did Cedric lose his memory?

"Ever since her" his eyes narrowed.

"This desire... this hunger" his fist clenched and the air suddenly became chilly.

My hand covering my mouth fell to my side, my eyes trembling. Her? Who? For a weird reason, I felt my chest heavy, there was too much mystery in their conversation and suspicious action, and yet at the mention of her, I felt my heart heavy.

Stupid Sylvia!

☆Loud Clang Sound☆

I froze, because that sound came from me, my grip holding the candle weakened, resulting in the steel falling on the ground.

Without a moment to spare I dash out, knowing fully well they already knew someone was spying, Dear Lord! I'm in trouble now, I have to get out of here fast, or else who knew what would happen.

My chest slammed loudly in my chest, the blood rushing to my head, I was panting by the time I got to my door, I took a harsh unstable breath as I turned towards the dark hallway.

A sudden rush of fear chilled my bones, I quickly dash into my room, the door slamming shut. I pressed my back against it, my chest rose and fell.

My body shaking, this was pure fear I felt, and I didn't know where it came from.

Cedric slowly squats, reaching for the candle against the floor.

"This scent," Beowulf said sniffing the area.

"It the sliver-haired, Magnus"

Cedric continued to assess the candle with his fingers.

"She must have heard us" he added not liking the thought of it, he said too much when he spoke with his master, and now she caught it, his master's identity shouldn't be carried by the wind, it wouldn't end well.

"I'm curious," Cedric said as his green eyes fell on the dark lobby.

"Magnus" Beowulf said as his crimson eyes landed on him, he froze when he saw a faint smile against his lips, it chilled his insides, he never smiles and when he did, it never meant well, nations were meant to fall by the mere glimpse of it.

"C-Curious of what? Magnus?" he asked in a shaky tone.

"What next step she would take" he states rising to his feet.

"A curious being she is", The candle against his palm as it dissolved into nothingness.

"What Cora told her, aren't you worried she might know too much... or is this a way of finding out why she makes you feel and your powers stir?"

Cedric's cold eyes land on him.

He froze.

"F-Forgive me, Magnus, I asked too much!"

"You have work to do Beowulf, begone"

"Y-Yes, Magnus" The wolf dissolved into shadow and moved out of sight.

Cedric's cold eyes land on the dark hall.

My heart slammed more than I could bear, I was on my bed, gripping onto my sheets tightly, my wide eyes on the door, my body trembling in fear.

What if he comes? What if he finds out I was the one spying on him? If only I didn't leave my room because of that stupid pull I felt. Cora has warned me to stay clear of Cedric but I have only done the opposite and look at the mess I got myself into.

I knew the worst could happen if Cedric comes to that door, he will won't he? I gulped at the thought.

My knees to my chest as I grip on it tightly, the air was suddenly chilly, it wasn't like this before, my body was in total fear, my brain thinking of all series of things that could happen if Cedric came at the door.

"Deep breaths Sylvia, deep breaths" I tried to tell myself, but my chest only rise and fell the more, my eyes glued to the door, unable to take my eyes off it, as if I did, the door would barge open.

My nerves were unsettled, and the constant shaking of my body was becoming unbearable, or was it the chilly air? I couldn't tell, I couldn't think and the ramming thoughts in my head weren't helping either.

I tried pulling the covers more to my body and then suddenly the door opened, I gasped.
