Loved By a Vampire King

••• ROYAL CASTLE, BALVINA •••

Ayra stared at the pale faced king who had only slight cold but the words written on their letter was too urgent. Ayra questioned once again to Robert who was now resting on his bed after he caught a slight fever,

" Uncle Robert, how are you feeling now?"

Though Robert hated Ayra at first, he was little wavered by her concerned behavior. Dropping the empty glass of his milk, he responded with a half smile,

" I am fine, Ayra. You guys thought too much. Nothing serious happened to me actually."

Ayra shook her head slightly and replied with a shrug,

" It's nothing trouble actually. We were visiting the old castle."

Robert nodded his head blankly. He wasn't still aware of the news that his soul was offered to the Murky Shadow Hunters. Worst of all, his side affect had been started without being notified.

The door of his room pushed open with a creak. Turning back their attention to the doorway, Ayra was slightly surprised to see Angelica, Sienna and Cedric walking in together. Her suspension grew furthermore when she noticed the playful smirk on Cedric's lips.

This man was in good mood which wasn't a absolutely good sign. Three of them entered into the room as Sienna and Angelica walked over the bed nervously. From their uneasiness, Ayra could assume that they were upto something. She shifted her eyes on Cedric who walked over to stand beside her. Giving her a smug smile, Cedric grinned before speaking playfully,

" Hi Princess. Did you miss me? You look so thoughtful of me."

Ayra shook her head helplessly. His uncle, Robert was sick here yet he was in full mood of flirting with her. Ayra lowered her voice down before reminding her in a cold voice,

" Can't you behave kindly for a moment please? He is sick here yet you are being playful."

Cedric grinned further untill all of his milky tooth had been showed up. With a fake tune of concern, he responded with a dark chuckle,

" Oh trust me! He is going to fall sick even more terribly."

Ayra furrowed at his words confusingly. As she parted open her lips to interrogate Cedric, she heard Sienna speaking to Robert in a worried voice,

" Father..how..how are you feeling now?"

Robert gave her a faint smile and replied taking a look of Ayra's face,

" Better now, Sienna. Princess Ayra is staying on my side ever since she came back from their visit. By the way, who informed them that I am sick? I didn't ask anyone to inform them."

Angelica swallowed before wanting to make up fake excuses. But thinking about Cedric's harsh reminder, she dismissed her thoughts and admitted wrongly,

" It..It was me..I..I was worried about your health, Your Highness! So I asked to summon Cedric."

Robert was slightly dissapointed by Angelica's decision. She shouldn't have interrupted on their private time. Understanding his glare of displeasure, Angelica tried to ease up the situation,

" I...I am sorry, Your Highness. I won't repeat this again.."

Cedric rolled his eyes and looked down at Ayra who seemed a little puzzled by the situation. To annoy her more, he arched his arm behind her back and secretly pinched on her waist. Ayra gasped softly and shot him a harsh glare.

Was this man so engrossed in being childish?

Angelica eventually wanted to run away after checking on Robert but then she felt Cedric's threatening eyes on her. She was totally doomed by this demon king.

He was indeed a demon! 

Angelica blessed her soul before pursuing her lips together to speak nervously,

" Your.. Highness...I..I actually want to confess you something.."

Robert seemed a little surprised then permitted her to speak,

" Go ahead! What is it?"

Even Ayra felt a little odd by her sudden confession. Turning her face aside to stare at Cedric, she saw his lips curving up a little mischievously. It turned out that he knew exactly what was she going to confess.

Angelica swallowed hard and eyes had already started tearing up in pure agony. Holding her breath in her lungs, she spoke out in a guilty voice,

" Your highness! Few...few days ago..You beheaded one of our maid for robbing jewels from Royal Fund. Actually.. it wasn't that maid but me..I was the one who robbed those jewels.."

Robert's face turned dark before letting out a shrill statement,

" What? What..are..you.. saying.. Angelica? You? A thief?"

Angelica nodded before sobbing hard. She was feeling so embarrassed that she felt like dying. Ayra was shocked like others and glanced at Cedric subconsciously. Cedric was giving Angelica a casual look as if the look defined that please continue.

Angelica twisted her lips in shame and decided to take a pause. Looking up at Cedric's playful expression, she wished that Cedric would ask her to stop but no. He was threatening her to spill out everything.

Having no other option, Angelica could bit down her own lips painfully and confessed afterwards,

" No.. Not only that..I..I actually stole the golden horse from your museum."

This time, all the people were speechless. She was speaking like a professional thief who was obssesed in stealing everything. 

Robert couldn't restrain his anger anymore. Clutching the left side of his chest, he roared at Angelica beastly,

" Angelica..Do you know that what are you speaking of? You have actually stolen my favourite golden horse?"

Cedric chuckled adding the fuel in fire,

" Calm down, uncle. I believe that there's more of her exceptional news."

Angelica couldn't stop her tears. Whimpering softly, she spoke again with a confident voice,

" This.. this wasn't done by me alone..It was Sienna who helped me passing the golden horse. I just wanted to confess you today, Your Highness. I really do care about you and this kingdom."

Ayra was rendered speechless. Snapping her head aside to glare at Cedric, she spoke suspiciously,

" It is all your doing. Isn't it?"
