|| RECOMMENDED SONG:
Broken By Woren Webbe ||
The slap ended with a deep silence that passed through the space. Alexander wasn't expecting this slap. At least he believed that he would earn her forgiveness this time. This was his personality. The person who is calm in temper sometimes looses control from his action and commit an unforgivable time. He wasn't the first person to do that.
Elizabeth gave him another push before stepping away from him. Her eyes became teary and suddenly every emotions came to haunt inside her mind. These days were tough for her. Telling the person to stay away from you is nothing less than killing yourself slowly. But she did everything for her own sake. These emotions, the silent war between two brothers for her love were suffocating for her. She didn't wish to hear at the end of day that she had ruined the relationship between two brothers.
Her lips trembled before speaking to Alexander,
" What are you taking me for, brother Alex? Your property or some expensive staff that belong to you?"
Alexander looked away embarrassing. He wondered how did he loose control from his anger. Everytime his vampire side worked on surface, his behaviors turned ugly and he felt that blood was the only thing that he needed from this world. He exhaled turning around to speak to her gently,
" Elizabeth..I...was just scaring you..But we need to talk.."
Elizabeth shook her head refusing. Wiping the corner of her eyes, she began to speak through her clenched teeth,
" There is nothing to talk between us, brother Alex. Now you are trying to become all sweet with me, tomorrow you will forget it. You will push me again when Brother Arthur would come between us. But I am sorry. I am not an object to comply your order. You are so blind at pointing at my emotions that you might ask me some day to marry Arthur."
Her voice broke midway painfully. Regaining her mental strength to continue again, she continued after exhaling a deep sigh,
" You were aware of my feelings from the beginning but you still pushed me away to Arthur. I am not letting you do this anymore. Do not act like you have control over me."
Elizabeth didn't know how she walked out of the room. But she bumped into someone unexpectedly who was heading for the same library that they were. Elizabeth quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and gave a courteous bow to Cedric whose eyes were amusingly dancing on her. She walked away from there like a flee without giving him any chance to speak.
Cedric didn't call her back to ask what happened exactly. But when he entered into the library and found a numb, frozen figure of Alexander, his lips twitched into a smile. Cedric chuckled lightly,
" It seems like I have come in wrong time."
Alexander was startled by his voice. Regaining his composure quickly, he replied with a helpless sigh,
" Emotions are complicated, Your Highness. I wonder how do you handle my sister. She isn't very good with her temper. Besides she creates havoc whenever she switched on her both sides."
Cedric twitched his lips in sarcasm before walking over to the chair to sit down. He replied lazily without looking at Alexander who was waiting for his answer,
" It's a pity that you don't have charm like me, Prince Alexander."
Alexander laughed back at his arrogancy. No wonder Ayra found him annoying from the beginning. He came up with better reason before joining him on the other chair,
" I believe that her restriction of using magic in this palace is saving your days so far. Hold on, don't tell me that you did everything on purpose to keep her in control?"
Cedric gave him a long lingering look. His lips curled up mischievously before admitting,
" You are so smart!"
Alexander was speechless! He better started believing that a demon's words are never trustworthy.
The day passed in a blink of eye. Evening came out with blissful air in the weather and warmed the surface of Basarisk. Ayra made her way for Cedric's study after talking with Jessie. It was confirmed that they were going to visit Cedric's grandfather. Many years had passed and the truth behind Jasmine's grave needed to come in front light. He couldn't keep the children away from their mother's grave for eternity.
Coming in front of the closed door, she knocked twice hesitantly but nothing came out as response. This was her first time entering into his working place after coming in this palace. Having no choice, she slipped inside only to be found the room empty.
Cedric might have gone outside. In this thought, she decided to wait for him and kept wandering around. The room was neatly decorated without any single staff misplaced anywhere around. It gave her the conclusion that Cedric liked everything ordinated.
Her eyes landed on his desk that had some files and beside that it was an open letter. She didn't mean to look into it but came over at the desk just to take a glance. The first few lines horrified her and she knew that they had been asked for trial because of her action in Balvina. Guilt was the first thing that she felt for Cedric that day. Because of her actions, she had put his prestige at stake.
Her hand extended to grab the letter from the desk but withdrawed midway thinking that she was invading into his personal space. Sighing, she inteneded to walk away but noticed one of the drawer which was partially opened. It wasn't the exact thing that caught her attention. Inside the drawer, a woman's jewelry was placed over a red napkin carefully. It was a red diamond pendant with a letter on it.
She couldn't restrain her curiosity this time. Crunching down, she plucked out the pendant from the drawer and held it under her eyes. The letter crafted on it left her wondering deeply.
"Q".
