BXBX NOVEL Chapter 391 - Followed
Nighttime fell over Basarisk Kingdom. Thanks to the heaven, weather wasn't rainy today or else it would have brought difficulties on Isabella's secret leaving from the palace. Though everything was prepared very secretly, Cedric was anxious for his sister. His worry lessened a little when the king of Richalwolf Land assured that he would personally take care of Isabella until she gives birth safely. Aunt Shelly was head over in heels to know that they were going to live in the Royal Palace. She had been living in Richalwolf Land over decades but never got the chance of entering into the palace. The palace was only opened for rich people like Isabella.
Cedric was waiting outside for Isabella to send her off. As he waited, two guards rushed inside hurriedly carrying another dead body of wolf. Dropping the light brown furred body over the floor, one of the guard informed in a slightly tensed voice,
" Your Highness! Another one! "
Cedric's eyes darkened a little. Hearing distant voices that were coming from the entrance, he quickly dismissed,
" Take it away from here. We will talk after my sister leaves. I don't want to affect her mood before leaving."
The guard compelled hurriedly and carried away the body away from that spot. Turning around, Cedric saw Ayra, Elizabeth, Aunt Shelly, Isabella all coming out together. Alexander was following them closely.
Isabella walked over to Cedric with a smile. She knew that if she became emotional, Cedric would worry about her more. Pulling him into a tight hug, Isabella assured with a wide smile,
" I will be coming back soon with your nephew, brother. Wait for us and take care of Jessie. She is living this days in her friend's house."
Cedric hummed giving her a weak smile and warned softly,
" Don't come out of palace, okay? I have arranged everything. They will send guards once you reach the capital."
Isabella nodded smiling and pulled Ayra on Cedric's side. She teased with a wide smile,
" Also don't bully my sister-in-law in my absence. Remember to treat her well."
Cedric chuckled replying back with different meaning,
" She loves it when I bully her."
Cedric spoke before reaching out to take Ayra's waist instinctively. As his hand touched her waist, Ayra shuddered before skipping away suddenly. Cedric was little taken back by her action. Thinking that she felt shy, he didn't think too much about her behavior at that moment.
Ayra embraced Isabella warmly saying,
" We will all wait for you two, sister. Come back to us soon."
After chatting for a while, Isabella boarded on the carriage and waved at her family. She was happy to feel that there was so many people to worry for her now. Bidding final goodbye to them, her carriage drove away slowly.
Going back to the palace, Cedric headed for their living room to spend his quality time with his wife finally. Only after reaching on the doorway, he saw that Ayra was coming out. He asked frowning slightly,
" Where are you going?"
Ayra replied without meeting his eyes,
" I..I want to sleep with Elizabeth.. tonight.."
Cedric refused without even thinking,
" No way! "
Ayra knew that he wouldn't let her go. She reasoned standing far away from his approach,
" Elizabeth is afraid of sleeping alone in this new place. I hope that his highness would treat my family members fairly."
Her words hit hard. In other way, she was trying to imply that Cedric would disrespect her family members if he didn't let her go. Cedric agreed through his gritted teeth,
" Fine! Just tonight! I will arrange someone to sleep with her from tomorrow."
Ayra heavied a sigh of relief. Staying no longer, she quickly walked away almost like a fly. Cedric cursed under his breath after she left.

Isabella's carriage drove away passing an uncountable number of forests. She wasn't very bore during the ride since Aunt Shelly was a very talkative person and loved to gossip for hours.
A few guards along with the carriage were going for the Richalwolf Land. The decoration of carriage was kept simple to avoid suspicious eyes. Cedric didn't want others to know that Isabella was heading for the Richalwolf Land.
Only few steps away from the border of Richalwolf Land, their carriage took an abrupt halt between its motion. Isabella gasped almost falling forward but was grabbed by Aunt Shelly luckily.
Aunt Shelly's piercing voice ran through the air,
" What are you doing morons? How can you stop the carriage so recklessly? Don't you know that princess is pregnant? This people! I am going to smack you all hard once I get down."
The rider of carriage surprisingly didn't give any answer as he was busy in watching the dark sky above. He held the reins tightly in his grip and observed the sky that took a change suddenly. The moon which was shining a little while back was hidden under a dark large shadow.
Isabella spoke worrying about what just happened in midway,
" What happened, guards? Why aren't we leaving?"
The rider swallowed hard while looking up at the sky. His prediction had turned true as he deeply observed and figured out that those shadows were belonged to dragons. Because of the darkeness, he couldn't detect their exact features but he knew that those dragons didn't belong to Basarisk.
Then..it had only one meaning...! They were being followed!
The rider annouced loud enough to let everyone hear clearly,
" We..we have been followed.."
Isabella's face turned pale in a matter of second. Placing her hand over her stomach, she had an omnious feeling suddenly.
They came for her baby!
