|| RECOMMENDED SONG:
Caterpillars By Mountains Of The Moon ||
Cedric stopped looking at the dramatic scnario happening in front of him. Turning his face aside to stare at his curious wife, he gave a toothy smile before shurgging his shoulders off innocently,
" I did nothing, love. I haven't even asked her to say all of these. If she gets too frightened by this look of mine, that's not my fault. Is it?"
Ayra parted open her lips in awe and somewhere there was a hidden admiration for the man in front of her. He actually managed to threat the queen of Blavina while staying in her own Royal Castle.
How many guts he had to do something like this?
At the same time, she wondered what method he used to force spilling something like this. The great Queen Angelica of Balvina was actually confessing to the king that she had stolen treasures from their own Royal Fund.
How embarrassing!
Cedric chuckled lightly, certain about her sudden admiration and applied his flirting skill on her for the hundredth times possibly,
" Oh love! Stop looking at me like this! This shape of your lips only had one meaning for me. You are inviting me to kiss you when I am trying hard to be a gentleman around you."
Ayra immediately stopped looking at him. After meeting him, she understood that he could do anything that he wants and no one had control over it. Of course, she had yet to learn that it wasn't same goes for her.
Inside the weeping silence of that chamber, the only noise that was available Angelica's constant crying. She knew that she had doomed herself because of Cedric's trap. Robert was speechless until she stopped confessing anymore truths. The result turned out to be more awful than he expected. He had actually beheaded many innocent lives thinking that they wanted to frame Angelica. In reality, she was the one who uses others to cover up her crime.
Robert started exasperating in panic. Such news was heavy blow for his health and he couldn't understand whom he should trust from now on. After a while, Robert's thunderous voice buzzed across the stiff chamber,
" Get out! Get out of my sight! Now! "
Angelica whinned more in a hope of gaining some sympathy from Robert but he didn't spare a second glance at Angelica. Knowing that her father was devoted to her, Sienna boldly interrupted to ask favour for her mother's sake,
" Father.. Please don't be mad on mother.. She..she actually knows now that she is wrong..Why don't you forgive her once?"
Sienna's voice angered Robert more. He glared at her unfilial daughter and roared at her furiously,
" You too..Get out of my sight now! You have become just like her. You knew everything, don't you? I don't want to see you two any longer in this castle. From today onwards, only Seselia is my family. I don't want to recognize you."
Sienna was completely terrified. She didn't expect that Robert would become so hard on them. Angelica heard him and was startled before crying out in agony,
" Hubby..how can you do this to me? I have given you a daughter and always stayed by your side. I have done so wrong on others. I am ready to compensate them but please don't push me away from you. I will seriously die without you "
Despite her pleading and crying, Robert paid no attention on her words. Instead he rebuked back sharply after slamming on his thighs,
" Out of my sight! NOW! "
Angelica understood that her sweet words wouldn't work on her anymore. She whimpered one more time before trying to act exasperated and pretended like she was struggling to breath all of sudden. Her face turned pale as sheet of paper and began to take long breaths painfully.
Sienna cried out from her side after noticing her struggling,
" Mother... Mother.. what happened to you? Oh no! Mother's health is detorotating. Please father! Stop scolding her! You are pushing her to death."
Angelica acted so flawlessly that it was hard to determine whether was she acting or everything was real. She was leaning onto Sienna on purpose so that her weakness could be shown enough sincerity. Even Robert was slightly moved and looked down at Angelica worryingly. After all, she is his wife.
Except Cedric, Ayra was surprised too and frowned hard wandering how did she was suffocating all of sudden.
Cedric yawned lazily too uninterested to pay attention on her and tugged on Ayra's arms saying,
" Let's get some sleep, love. Enough of this drama. Were you entertained to your heart Content?"
Ayra glared hard at him and spoke between her gritted teeth,
" You....she must be really sick? Must you be so heartless?"
Cedric protested twitching his lips and replied with a scoff,
" Who said that I am heartless? See, you are standing in front of me."
Ayra blushed understanding his underlined meaning and almost smiled foolishly. This man really know how to hit on a woman.
Ayra was unwilling but under Cedric's demand, she had to follow him outside leaving the family to settle down their matter on their own. As they both reached on the doorway, Cedric suddenly suddenly paused and looked back to stare at Angelica's sleeping face.
Curling his lips into a smile, Cedric switched his eyes on Robert before informing casually,
" Oh uncle! I happened to know that Aunt has some connections with the Murky Shadow Hunter. Please remember to ask her when she wakes up."
As soon as his words came out from his mouth, the lying Angelica shot up her eyes disbelievingly. Without caring about anyone's, she screamed out angrily,
" Cedric!!!!!! You promised me that you won't say to him..."
Ayra was stunned before turning speechless. This woman was actually pretending her sickness.
Cedric turned his head aside to grin at fully astounded Ayra before saying,
" See, love..I didn't do anything..she is doing on her own. You still call me the culprit. How wrong! "
