514 The Secret Behind Their Marriage


    Her words came out slurring, broken and a deep pain hidden behind her tone. But it was clear enough to reach Cedric''s ears who halted between his actions. His heart stopped beating for a second when she cried confessing that she might be in love with him.


    His eyesid on her under the gleam of moonshine. That felt surreal to him but he knew that he was hearing her correct. The following moment, he muttered some profanity of curses and scooped his arms around her waist to hoist her up from the ground. That position streched her more as she groaned out painfully and clutched onto his shoulders to lean on.


    No words needed to say how did he feel exactly at that time. His head bent down to im her lips into a searing kiss, shutting down all her cries as he moved inside her wildly. Ayra could no longer feel the pain of her heart as the pleasure consumed her body and soul. She melted onto his arms, leant onto his shoulders to hear his sharp breathing into her ears slowly.


    After a long round of love-making, she fell unconscious without knowing for how long he imed her in theke. Only few words were left to buzz into her ears when she wasid on the bed,


    " I know, you will love me someday, Ayra. But you must know that what I do is to protect and keep you with me."


    Cedric teleported to Basarisk that night without notifying King Robert and his family that they left Balvina all of sudden. Sienna peeked at the roads outside from her corridor. A long night had passed yet Cedric and Ayra didn''t return to their pce. The thought of doing something intimate out there made her heart sour and fueled in jealousy.


    Why did he love Ayra? Was it because she was a powerful hybrid and here, she was an adopted princess?


    Sienna bit her lips together painfully. Because of her safety, Cedricpletely degraded her feelings for him and forced her to look into her parents shameful past. After waiting for a while, she heard a guard saying at the entrance,


    " Tell King Robert that his majesty has left withdy from Balvina. They won''te back."


    The other guard asked back curiously,


    " Ah! Why all of sudden? Has something happened?"


    The guard who came to inform in the pce seemed a bit awkward. He reasoned with a dry cough, looking around ufortably,


    " Well, that doesn''t seem like that. They...they.. looked..a bit... tired.. actually..."


    Sienna who was listening to them from the corridor clenched her teeth together hardly. It could have been them instead of Ayra but that damned hybrid had snatched everything from her life. Tears rolled down through her cheeks as she looked up in the sky. Her emotions had given her only one conclusion.


    She needed power to earn Cedric''s love! She wanted her power just like Ayra!


    Back in the castle of Basarisk, Cedric left her sleeping in their bed. She looked exhausted mentally and physically. He strode outside of her room, letting her sleepingfortably.


    He turned around and stalled over the corridor that started from the end of their floor. Late night breeze weed him but somehow he didn''t feel anything except the unfamiliar emotions that he felt after hearing the word '' love '' from her mouth. No one ever told him that they loved him. It was all new feeling to him. Ever since, his mother took her own life for him, everyone called him vex or demon or devil even sometimes cursed that he had brought misery in this family. But no one ever tried to read through his mind or tried to understand the broken pieces of his heart.


    Footsteps echoed behind his back slowly. Without turning his head, he knew that who it was. Frenchies bowed at him courteously. His brows were tightly furrowed together since he could feel the uneasiness in his Lord''s mind. Frenchies spoke from his concern, staring at his back curiously,


    " My king, you are back so sudden. You look.. tense..Has everything went well?"


    " She said that she loves me!", Cedric blurted, shutting Frenchies whose face darkened instantly. Cedric continued looking away in distance,


    " She means it.. Frenchies.."


    Frenchies smiled bitterly at him. He knew that this day woulde one day but it happened earlier than his expectation. Frenchies replied in a sarcastic voice,


    " It would be more easier for you, my Lord. Isn''t it? She is the destined yer and biggest weapon for you. Now that, she loves you, she will do anything for you. Then she will give you back your carefree life with other women. Isn''t it much smoother?"


    Cedric shut his eyes off briefly. He was hitting the truth but it was no longer okay with him. The thought of letting her go from his life was aching his heart painfully. He muttered back, mming his fists against the railings,


    " Enough, Frenchies! Just..be..quiet..I know it.. It''s just..I am afraid that she might get hurt through the process. She is my responsibility. How can I put her life on risk?"


    He lied through his clenched teeth. He knew that it would tear her apart if the truees in front light. Maybe she would ask a divorce from him too. Frenchies observed his expression for a while before stepping forward to stand behind him. His lips curled up into a bitter smile as he spoke in a serious tone,


    " My king, are you afraid of her safety or you are afraid that she won''t love you anymore after knowing that you married her because you knew from the beginning that she is the destined yer of true demon?"


    Right at that time, another voice travelled from the entrance, startling Frenchies who spoke a bit loudly just a while ago,


    " Who is the yer of true demon? What are you guys talking about at this time?"
