BXBX NOVEL Chapter 285 - Murderer!
** 2nd Chapter Of Mass Release Event **
The night passed away quickly. Having a demonic presence around, Ayra had a lot of struggling in falling back to sleep but she forced herself as it was the only way to escape away from his Perverted nature.
Cedric chuckled mysteriously at the sight of Ayra squeezing her eyes shut and was trying to sleep badly. He didn't want over to her anymore. He had played with her enough and all the time were left for their future together.
Extinguishing the last lamb of her chamber, he strode over the fluffy couch and made himself comfortable reluctantly. Before consuming into deep sleep, he smiled gleefully at the girl who was fast asleep.
Cedric left for Basarisk early in the morning. As a groom, they had rituals from their side and he didn't want to make Ayra embarrassed in front of her own family. Morever he wasn't willing to delay their marriage at all.
_Dixon Palace, Basarisk Kingdom_
The sun was dimming lightly in that morning. Cedric's carriage was parked in front of the main door with a swish. There was little noises coming out from the palace. Knowing that his sister might have woken up already, Cedric hurried his steps towards the palace.
As he expected, Isabella was reading a newspaper. Her brows were tightly caressed as if she was in deep thoughts. Hearing familiar footsteps coming inside, Isabella arched her head up to glance on the way and soon hauled up anxiously.
Supporting her big belly to move around, she asked with worry leaping out from her voice,
" Where did you go? What happened to the Princess? Don't tell me that it has something to do with your enemies."
Isabella knew that Cedric had an uncountable number of sworn enemies who always seeked a rare opportunity to cut off his head. The number of enemies increased further because of his outrageous nature. He behaved recklessly without fearing anyone and always was full of himself. His character gave her the most worries.
Cedric smiled faintly at his sister's concern and assured after putting off his coat,
" No,sister! She just went outside for a while and worried others."
He didn't want to pressurize his pregnant sister anymore and hid the commotion regarding Seth. As they both started to chitchat, Jessie spotted them together while striding through the stairs. She vaguely heard about Cedric's marriage last night. When she wanted to know more details, she saw Cedric storming outside hastily.
Standing on the stairs, this time she heard more and finally got to know that Cedric was going to marry the princess of Dalastia.
How could those people take liking on Cedric who was known as Demon among the worlds?
Jessie couldn't understand and was enraged for no reason. She strode downstairs slowly and went over to fetch the juice indifferently. But her ears were sharp and were listening each of their words.
Cedric was speaking to Isabella while settling himself comfortably on the couch,
" Sister, you should send the dowry from our family today. I have decided to marry her tomorrow."
Isabella smiled while sitting beside him excitedly,
" Of course! I have already prepared everything as soon as you told me about your marriage."
She took a pause and glanced up at Jessie who was drinking juice absentmindedly. Waving her hands at Jessie, she called out nervously in case she got angry,
" Ah! Jessie is also here. Jessie, come over here! We are discussing about Cedric's marriage. Why don't you join?"
Jessie secretly rolled her eyes and gulped the leftover drink inside her stomach. As she looked up at Isabella's expectant eyes, she just couldn't turn her down and walked over to them reluctantly.
Cedric continued chatting with Isabella without paying much attention on Jessie whose face was full of displeased layers. Middle of their conversation, Jessie suddenly blurted out of her irritation,
" Princess from Dalastia? Isn't she called the cursed child? How can I make alliance with such a bad reputable woman?"
Jessie's vicious words broke off the harmonious air between them. Even Isabella was slightly stunned by her words and didn't expect her to become so rude. When she parted her lips to speak, Cedric gently squeezed her palms.
Isabella stopped and looked up at Cedric nervously hopping that he wouldn't get mad on Jessie. Cedric merely smiled, raised his eyebrows amusingly and replied with self mockery,
" You don't think that your brother is a well reputated person,is it, Jessie?"
Jessie's face sank after his comment. Indeed her brother had the most bad reputation across the worlds. She was persistent on protesting and blurted out without meeting his eyes,
" We never had an alliance with a bloodsucker. I just hope that her presence won't bring shame on your family."
Cedric's eyes narrowed further dangerously. He could tolerate his insult from Jessie but blaming Ayra for any particular reason wasn't pleased in his ears. Isabella panicked noticing the storm on her brother's face and tried to ease up the situation with a beaming forced smile,
" Don't be so harsh on her, Jessie. As long as she becomes a worthy queen of our brother, nothing else won't matter. Just wait! She will definitely win over your heart."
Jessie sneered coldly and looked up at her elder sister likely as if she was a little fool. Chuckling in a low voice, Jessie bickered with a nasty smile,
" Seriously sister! Only you can be so excited with the marriage of a murderer who didn't even spare your own husband."
Isabella's smile quickly faded away. Even Cedric's body stiffened a little as he looked up at Isabella worryingly. Unable to control his anger, he casted a cold glare at Jessie who immediately knew that she went too further.
She slightly bit her lower lips and got up to leave but Cedric's cold voice made her halting in her track,
" Jessie! "
Jessie's back stiffened a little and she didn't dare to move her single bone. Only when Cedric becomes too angry, he calls her name so coldly. This time, he was using the same voice.
Jessie didn't dare to step forward and turned around blankly. Cedric rested his dark eyes on her and emphasized each words in a threatening manner,
" I don't expect you to respect me or accept me as your brother. But remember my words that I have taken Princess Ayra as my wife willingly. If you are thinking that you would be disrespectful with her too, I wouldn't tolerate it ever. Perhaps I deserve your hatred but she doesn't have anything to do with our grudges. Either you will behave well with her or else I will personally teach you how to behave politely."
Jessie stared at him harshly as her lips persued in extreme anger. She opened and closed her mouth hesitantly but couldn't form a word. In the end, she huffed and stormed upstairs arrogantly.
After her departure, Cedric shifted his eyes on Isabella who suddenly went silent. He understood that Jessie had hit her most weakest spot. Placing his palm on her clenched fists, Cedric murmured weakly,
" Sister...do..do you blame me too?"
