BXBX NOVEL Chapter 271 - Be Mine
RECOMMEND SONG: Or Nah By SoMo(Cover) ~?
The night grew deeper with the cheerping of bats nearby. Ayra stayed in her room naturally and avoided meeting Cedric mistakingly as much as possible. After his open confession, her mothers warned her several times regarding that man who even dared to act all mighty in presence of her fathers. But she was glad that her family members respected her opinion and gave her a lot of comforts regarding her life choice. Unlike other princesses who bound to have political marriages, her life was much easier in this aspect.
Ayra sighed deeply at her own reflection sitting in front of the dresser in relax. She couldn't wait to tell Seth that how blessed and happy she was after the incident happened today. She was eager to tell him that no one could object their relationship anymore. Though they never did before, it had become pretty obvious after today's commotion. After all, who would decline the offer of being alligned with the king of Basarisk? His powers, influence over Dragon Dynasty was remarkable. Lucky, she was treasured by her family since her birth.
Ayra applied her skin care with a happy smile and started to get prepared for the bed. Suddenly an annoymous sound came from her corridor.
Creak!
Astounded by this sudden noise, Ayra paid attention on the sound deeply and quickly faint sound of footsteps started to echo in the weeping silence. She got curious and tensed up at the same time. Well, she wasn't afraid of meeting a rogue since their powers couldn't be matched with her from any aspect.
She sat up from her tool and started to tiptoe over the corridor silently. Cautious about the intruder's each movements, she kept her eyes glued on the way sharply. When she almost reached on the corridor, a man's face quickly appeared out from the darkness as her greatest nightmare.
Ayra gasped mostly likely in shocked and was stunned at the same time. A natural addressing quickly escaped through her lips,
" Your highness! "
Cedric smiled at the way that her face changed color. At least, she was surprised to find him here and probably would follow him up without much objections.
He gave his best smile and leant against the wall leisurely. With his lips still twitching in amusement, he questioned in a very ambiguous tone,
" Have I waken you up from sleeping?"
Ayra controlled the urge of ripping his face apart. She had to constantly remind herself that he was a demon. It wasn't a good idea to join in fight with him.
Ayra smiled awkwardly,bent a little and spoke between her gritted teeth,
" May I know that for what reason Your Highness trespassed into my room late at night without any prior notice? If I hadn't known your majesty, someone might have misunderstood it as robbery."
Despite hearing her berated words, Cedric was calm and even smiling which didn't happen in the past. He gave her a quick reply without holding back his intention,
" It's robbery. I came to rob you."
Ayra's face sank immediately. Looking away to avoid his heated eyes, she used a stern face to answer him,
" I think that things have been made clear to you, Your Highness. Since my father has explained you everything, I don't think that I have any say on that. If you have nothing else to say, you may go back to your room before others find us chatting together."
Cedric didn't move an inche instead grinned maliciously. His brows raised up naughtily as he queired teasing her more,
" Why? Nervous? Am I affecting you, Princess?"
Ayra squeezed her eyes shut in annoyance. This man definitely came over to cause trouble for her. Still she maintained a polite smile and answered whilst gnashing her teeth and fangs,
" It's not good to tease an older lady like me, is it?"
Cedric's smile dropped at the mention of their age gaping. He hardly suppressed the urge of pressing her down and proved that what could an young man like him could do to him. But he knew that it would cause him loosing her for forever probably.
He stood straight and offered with an innocent smile,
" I came here to pick you, Princess. I would like to show you something. But you have to come with me."
Ayra's eyebrows narrowed deeply at his mysterious smile. Her instincts told her that he wasn't going to do anything good for her.
Who knows that how many tricks he had in his sleeves?
Ayra instantly denied with a sharp look,
" Your highness, it's not proper to go around at this hour without informing my family members. I would request you to leave and let me sleep now."
Ayra spoke and inteneded to leave with her large stride. But her feet paused in midair when Cedric's icy voice came out from back,
" It's about your boyfriend, Seth."
Ayra's body froze and she blankly turned away to face the narcissistic man who was still grinning. When she waited for him to talk, Cedric continued tugging his fists into his pockets,
" Wouldn't you like to know what is happening with him right now?"
Ayra sawlloed hard and replied like a whisper,
" What.. what do you mean?"
Cedric grinned further and prompted stretching his palms widely,
" How about a ride with me, Princess?"
Ayra felt hesitated but she couldn't ignore his words because of the mention of Seth who just went to visit his ill aunt. Seeing her hesitations, Cedric commented with a chuckle lightly,
" Don't worry. I am not going to kidnap you at all. It's no fun to claim you as mine without knowing the world. All the relams should know that this lady only belong to me."
Ayra ignored the dominance behind his words and questioned panicking slightly,
" What are you intending to say? What.. what has happened with Seth?"
Cedric's eyes dimmed a little when she kept chanting Seth's name and ignored his stretched palm on her way. Enduring the anger in his heart, he repeated with an urging voice,
" You will eventually find out once you will go with me. Just take my hands. I can move out faster than you."
Yes, he had the superpower of travelling in a second anywhere without using his dragon wings. It was something that he was gifted with from birth.
Ayra couldn't put away her anxiety anymore. Without thinking so much, she walked ahead and clasped his palms tightly. Cedric who just got the woman's hand cursed under his breath silently. Her palms felt so soft and warm that he felt like caressing forever like this. He tugged her closer slowly whilst she kept panicking without noticing the heat behind his gaze.
Who would ever imagine that he would fall for a woman whom follow different principals than him?
Cedric wasn't boasting himself in reality. In a blink of eye, they were transferred in front of a shabby villa inside a distant city of Dalastia. Ayra was the most shocked one when she realised that this typical villa belonged to Seth's aunt. She happened to visit here many years ago when they were teenagers.
Leaving his plams as soon as they arrived, Ayra's eyes wandered around and immediately went wide in terror. The villa was on fire from the backyard and was making its way around the shade quickly.
Ayra shouted hysterically,
" SETH! SETH! O my god! What happened here? How come this house is on fire? Where is Seth? Where is my seth? How did it happen...how.."
" I did this.", Cedric's cold answer from back freezing Ayra in her spot who felt like spinning. Turning her body around blankly, she muttered between her chokes,
" What.. what just you say.."
Cedric didn't falter after being questioned by her. He simply unfolded his arms and replied with an indifferent voice,
" Well, I didn't mean to involve Seth in this choas but you forced me to do this Princess. When I asked for your hands today, your fathers should have just agreed with my proposal. Tsk..look now..an innocent boy is suffering on your behalf."
Ayra couldn't believe that what was happening in front of her. She was going insane in anger. With a sneer, her palms already started to summon powers as she roared at his face beastly,
" You think that you can suppress me with your powers. King Cedric, you have forgotten that I am the first hybrid ever born in this world."
With her words, she turned around to face the villa and summoned those fires to move out. Few moments had passed away but there was no sign of extinguishing the fire.
Her face sank as she started to murmur disbelievingly,
'" what.. what was going on...Why can't I make it stop..."
Cedric's voice came with admiration towards her,
" You are indeed powerful, Princess. But you just forgot that you are facing demonic powers."
Ayra's mouth agaped disbelievingly. With her eyes tearing up, she turned around and asked Cedric chokingly,
" What do you want?"
Cedric's face suddenly became serious as he emphasized each words domineerinly,
" Be mine...then the fire will stop.. Princess.."
