Don't Fear The Reaper By Denmark & Winter ~?
Shock appeared on Silas's face evidently. He didn't expect her to take such serious decision within just a night. He thought that he had his time to reconsider of his action that he had done without taking her consent. But it turned out like Isabella was in hurry to leave Richalwolf Land.
When silence prevailed between them, Isabella missed the sight of his clenched fists. He solemnly prayed that his posseive nature wouldn't come in front light. He didn't want to scare her with his rough behavior when she didn't even learn anything about their____ bond.
Composing his reaction inside his mind, Silas turned around slightly to look at Isabella who moved back consideringly after he turned around to face her. He questioned again, hoped that he had heard her wrong,
" What? Are..you... really..."
Isabella nodded without a second thought with her eyes laying on the bedsheet. When she pulled her eyes to meet his green ones, rage radiated from her eyeballs which were hidden for the past good few years. Even she, herself didn't think that one day, her broken soul would crave for that bloody throne. Isabella's voice rang out with determination and the pain of loosing everything,
" I have sacrificed enough for others, Duke Silas. All I want to pay back those people who took away everything of my life. DAVINA's people only deserve death sentence for making me loosing my child. I know their laws. Since the heir is gone now, my husband made a statement for my future that I can be the queen for his people if I don't give birth to any heir."
Silas observed the fury in her innocent which wasn't present when he saved her in that night. Pain can make you anything that you didn't want to be ever. Her motherly love became so strong that her character had changed in overnight. She no longer wished to live a peaceful, normal life. Going through this tough phase of her life, she learnt that without powers, people will only push you down.
Silas was little distressed over her decision. As a crowned Duke and future heir, he knew pretty well how bloodthirsty the play of throne was. He tried to calm her nerves down wisely,
" Princess Isabella! Taking over a throne isn't an easy task. You have to rebuild everything and you might never know when you will be killed."
Isabella chuckled bringing her eyes away from his face,
" I have nothing to loose now but I must punish those people who made me loosing my child personally."
Silas parted her lips to say something but thinking about her pains, he hold them back. Perhaps she would change her mind when she calms down. He didn't want to see her getting hurt anymore.
A sound of door creaking open interrupted their conversation. A maid appeared with her head hanging down and reported to them carefully,
" Your Highness! His Majesty is waiting for you in the breakfast table. King Cedric is also expecting Princess Isabella's arrival downstairs."
Silas dismissed the maid, standing up from the bed lazily,
" You can leave now. We are joining in a minute."
The maid dissapared not before shooting a suspicious glance over them. They were sitting close together which gave her few wild imaginations.
***
By the time, Silas and Isabella came together to join the breakfast table, everyone were gathered around already including Aunt Shelly, Cedric, Ayra, Queen Mary and King Draco. The breakfast table was full of people and it delighted Queen Mary who always wished to bear more children. But unfortunately after Silas, the couple didn't had another child.
As they both kept striding through the stairs, Queen Mary's casted a suspicious glance at them.
Were they together?
Her thoughts were intervened when King Draco welcomed them with a loud voice,
" Come here, Child. You shouldn't stay hungry for so long. Servants!"
King Draco was being extra careful with his actions especially when Cedric was present there. Everyone wanted to maintain a good relationship with Basarisk and he wasn't any exceptional.
Cedric's eyes softened when he saw Isabella's bright face. Her appearance told that she was doing much better than before. Aunt Shelly didn't spare them any glance since she was mad at Isabella. Commoners like her treasured throne like a moon from the sky. She only thought that Isabella wasn't being cautious to protect her child.
Silas walked over to take the chair beside his father whilst his mother took the spot opposite of him. Only the seat beside Aunt Shelly was vacant and Isabella walked down hesitantly to sit beside her. She tried hard to not recall those words that had been said by Aunt Shelly early in the morning.
Shelly cringed a little slightly by Isabella's presence. Her aching bones kept reminding her that how badly she was beaten up by those rogues. Queen Mary's sugarcoating voice rang in the breakfast table who was following the trend of her husband,
" How are you doing now, my child?"
Mary asked passing a concerned look to Isabella who just sat there in silence. Isabella put a small smile on her lips before answering,
" Yes, Lady Mary. I am better now. Even I am thinking about returning to Davina today."
All the people from breakfast table had looked up at her bewilderingly. Cedric who thought that he heard wrong asked dropping his spoon down,
" Sister, it should be Basarisk, isn't it?"
Isabella prepared herself mentally for this moment. To calm down her anxious heart, she reached out to grab the juice glass from the table and spoke after taking a gulp,
" I have thought about it already, Cedric. I am going to take over Davina's throne. Besides I believe that Vincent would have wanted the same if he was here."
Cedric was silent for a moment including Ayra who tried to understand her words. As a woman, she could feel her pain but taking over the throne wasn't something easy to earn. Silas gripped his knife so hard that it could be broken anytime soon.
Aunt Shelly's taunting voice came out first when she heard Isabella's words,
" Don't be silly, Bella. You have lost their Precious heir and you think that you can now just go over there and claim the throne. Only fools will be allowed you to do that. No one wants a widow.."
Her words were stuck in mid-tongue when Cedric voice came from the other side with a smile on his face,
" I think that my aunt has lost some parts of her brain cells after the attack. I believe that she should be sent to our kingdom's mental asylum for a while. What do you say, Milady?"
Cedric's head tilted aside to question at Ayra who choked on her juice after his words fell out. She knew that he wasn't absolutely joking around. She had seen him caring for his sisters closely and she knew that it wouldn't even matter to him if he had to execute aunt Shelly or someone else.
Ayra only rolled her eyes. But thinking about the harsh words that had been come out from Aunt Shelly's mouth in front of everyone, Ayra agreed dabbing a fresh napkin on her stained lips,
" Whatever the king says, Milord. I have no comments on that."
Aunt Shelly's eyes widened in horror. She bit back her tongue and wished that she could slam her own head with something hard like walls.
Why did she dare to curse Isabella in front of Cedric?
The people from Vallod's family were in silence since it was their kind of family matter and they didn't feel it right to comment on that. But Silas left no chance of holding her back here for few more days.
He cleared his throat, bringing everyone's attention on him politely,
" My apologies for the sudden interruption, Your Highness but I believe that Princess Isabella should stay few more days in Richalwolf Land. Though she looks okay, her internal organs are still very weak. As we have the best medicines available always, she should be recovering fast if she stays here. But obviously if you feel it right, we can arrange more nurses to look after her health always."
King Draco agreed understanding that Isabella had gone through a critical state of her life,
" Silas is stating the facts, King Cedric. Princess should stay few more days to recuperate."
Isabella looked reluctant to stay here since everyone was unfamiliar around here and she solemnly wished to have a fair battle with Shanz this time. She parted her mouth to protest,
" But Cedric..I can't really.."
Cedric cut her off with a deep frown,
" Sister, Please! You can decide whatever you want after you recover completely. You will stay here as long as the physician suggests. I will be at ease if you stay in Richalwolf Land rather than Basarisk."
When everyone went back their attention on eating, the corner of Silas's lips curved up slightly. The rest of their breakfast went quite peacefully as Aunt Shelly didn't even breath loudly.
Silas was the first to leave the breakfast table. After he walked far away from them, Salmon appeared by his side to hear him say,
" Bring the physician to me."
