Loved By a Vampire King

Cedric assisted Ayra to climb up the horse that was prepared for them. Though he could go over there by telepathy, it would cause him to loose an extra amount of powers immediately. Unless the situation was urgent and severe, Cedric didn't use his powers of shifting from another land to others.

Cedric sat behind het, held his precious woman in his embrace. With other free hands, he fisted the horse's rope and made only verbal comments instead of whipping on its back,

" Norst Cemetery."

Ayra started feeling little uncomfortable in his embrace. At one point, she began to doubt that he was holding her on purpose. His chin rested behind her shoulders and arms groped her waist from both sides. Eyes kept laying on the road ahead as he imposed an aura of dominance. He was breathing just beside her earlobe that tingled her entire skin.

Ayra felt numb in his cage. After a series of heavy breathing, she scowled weakly,

" Can you.. just sit away a bit from me?"

Cedric stared down at her flustered cheeks. Obviously he enjoyed her powerless state and scowled back with a snort,

" Do you think that you can handle this horse without my assistance, Princess?"

Ayra looked down at the animal dumbly. It was just a horse who could be driven under proper instructions. She replied with a shrug,

" Why can't I? It is just a horse and I know how to ride. My dad always loved to watch me as a warrior princess. Though I haven't joined in any war, I know a lot of martial arts and horse riding. Do you think that I can't ride this horse?"

Cedric smiled knowingly. How could he didn't know that how badass her character is?

The difference between her and Jessie's personality was that one paid attention before behaving and the other didn't care who saw her or not. Cedric exhaled a hot sigh behind the nape of her shoulder and replied back with a proud smile,

" I am not talking about control princess. These horses all can hear me out and can be directed by my words only."

Ayra tilted her head back at him with a bewildering look. Cedric chuckled at her baffled out expression and spoke raising one of his eyebrow challengingly,

" You don't believe me? Carl, make some noises, good boy."

Before Ayra could assert what was going to happen, the horse underneath them made out an animalistic snarl and lifted its two legs up in the air happily. 

Ayra cried out in surprise and grasped the corner of Cedric's long coat instinctively. Looking up at him, she saw him grinning as his eyes grew darker in color,

" See! They all listen to me."

Ayra retreated her hand shakingly. Taking a bite of her lower lip, she muttered incoherently,

" It turned out like his highness has control over every objects in this kingdom."

His lips curled up slightly at her compliment. Placing a knuckle underneath her chin, he pushed her jaw up to look through his eyes forcefully and replied with a half smile,

" Except you, Princess. If I took my control over you, you would have become pregnant the next day of our marriage."

Ayra pressed her lips together in order to restrain her blushing cheeks. The thought of getting pregnant by his child invited butterflies in her tummy. She couldn't help but memorizing the images of their wedding night. Though they didn't go for the final stage, he had still seen her naked.

With a look of determination, she retorted breaking off his fantasy of having her in his own way,

" You will never have control on me."

Cedric laughed mysteriously. Eyes twinkled at her shy face as he replied with a mischievous grin,

" Nope! I won't even try it because you will come to me eventually."

Ayra looked up at him blankly. His overconfident nature sometimes gave her headache. Cedric's eyes kept staring at her unblinkingly untill his commander decided to act bold as they were running late,

" Cough! Your Highness! You should..get.. going now.."

Cedric withdrawed his gaze from Ayra who blushed slightly and turned her face away to focus on the path ahead of them. Cedric rested his eyes on his commander for a while and huffed,

" Now, I know why don't you have any girlfriend yet, Commander Rodriguez."

The guards around them turned speechless as they saw their king driving the horse from afar. After coming further away from them, Cedric spoke in her ears,

" Princess.. Can.. can you move away a bit now?"

Ayra who found it funny scoffed back arrogantly,

" When I asked you to move, you didn't listen to me. Why must I obey your order now? I am not moving a bit."

She spoke and pressed her back harder against his firm chest only to hear him intaking a sharp breath. Cedric responded with a husky voice,

" Princess..You...You are actually.. pressing against..my groin too much...Do..do you think that you can afford to provoke me? Hmm? If we fall down from Carl, are you going to take responsibility by riding on me?"

Ayra was rendered speechless but something kept poking against her back.

*** WHITE CASTLE, DALASTIA ***

" Let me read first. She must have missed me the most."

" No, she loved to read with me.Perhaps she was feeling bore and asked me to send her some books. I will read first."

The siblings fought among each others over the decision that who would open Ayra's letter first. Alexander gave his brother and cousin a sharp glare before stopping their argument with a straight line,

" I will open the letter no matter who is the receiver."

Arthur was going to protest again but shut up when Alexander shot him a threatening glare. Arthur and Nathan peered down at the letter in Alexander's hand as he opened it carefully.

" Dearest Brother Alex."

The starter had already broke Arthur and Nathan's heart who snorted stepping away from Alexander coldly,

" I knew it! She always loved him the most."

Arthur couldn't be less agreed with Nathan this time. He faked a snort and mumbled crossing his arms brokenheartedly,

" This girl..I was missing her badly but she just wrote to Alexander."

Alexander shook his head helplessly at his childish siblings. Ignoring their grumbling, he paid his attention back on the letter and read the each content carefully,

" Dearest Brother Alex, I miss all of you badly especially Nathan and my childish brother Arthur. I have been doing well here during this days. However, an accident happened and Aunty Siemus was injured pretty badly. She was suggested to heal by someone's active healing power. I think that you got the most powerful healing powers among all of us. I will be in relief if you can come to heal Aunty Siemus and spend few days here with me. Without you all, sometimes I feel very lonely. Oh, I forgot to ask you at the beginning. Take Elizabeth with you when you come for Basarisk. That girl might be feeling very bored without me there. See you soon, brother. I know that my best brother wouldn't dissapoint me ever."

Alexander clenched his teeth together at the last sentence of her letter. She was deliberately using emotional sentence to waver his decision. He knew her very well. But Elizabeth...

His mind suddenly froze when the image of that girl appeared in his subconscious mind. He promised her to never appear on her sight.

How could he break his promise? Besides if he didn't take Elizabeth with him in Basarisk, Ayra would definitely suspect on them.

What could he do at this moment?

** DIXON PALACE, BASARISK**

Isabella kept staring down at the red box with a tight frown. Her eyes held obvious doubts on this sudden gift but at the same time, her mind suggested her to take a look into it.

She exhaled a nervous breath and reached out to unlock the box but again retreated. She kept biting her lips together in nervousness. Her hand reached down to touch her baby bump as she muttered to her baby nervously,

" Baby, do you think that we should open it?"

She pondered over her decision and waited to reach a final conclusion but nothing felt good in her mind. Frustrated, she tiptoed back to sit on the bed and struggled inside her mind.

Was the box sent by Prince Shanz or anyone else from DAVINA? Apart from Shanz, no one actually hated her from the royal family of DAVINA.

Inhaling another deep breath, Isabella hauled up from the bed again before approaching the box slowly. When she went closer, her mind sparked in more anxiety and excitement.

Perhaps Shanz had changed his mind! 

With an abrupt mind, Isabella reached out for the lock and unlocked it with a single king. As the box was partially opened, her distracted mind missed the sound of a faint hissing noise.
