Ayra was yet to come out from her shocking state when she heard the man's disgusting laughter. Both of them looked back to stare at Oscar who had no sign of affection on his expression. He was laughing like he heard a big lame joke.

Cedric furrowed his gaze slightly. Hated the sight of his laughter that increased the blood boiling underneath his veins. Ayra persued her lips together but couldn't find a proper form of dialogues to react at the situation. She wasn't prepared to meet former king Oscar at this moment. More surprisingly, he was the one who was digging out the graves of dead wolves.

What was the enemity between this son and father?

She had no clue about it. But she heard rumours from Ethan that Oscar had willingly given up on his throne. She didn't understand why was he speaking about reclaiming the throne again. No matter what happened, she hated the fact that Oscar had done such hemnious crime of digging out graves. These wolves had gone in heaven already.

Why did he need to use their bones again?

Oscar landed his eyes amusingly on Ayra. Sensing the powerful and dominant aura, he was a bit surprised and angry to know that Cedric had someone so powerful beside him. Oscar commented without recognizing Ayra's real identity,

" Who is she? Your new bed tool?"

Ayra bit her lips together angrily. It wasn't an expected comment from someone respectable like her father-in-law. Before she could react or say something, Cedric suddenly gazed at Oscar deeply untill he fell on his knees and began to whimper in pain.

Oscar roared arching his head up to glare at Cedric,

" You.. Demon...You...I..am.. your father..How could you...Aahh.."

Oscar let out another painful growl when Cedric used more powers to invite pain on Oscar's chest. Cedric chuckled darkening his eyes a little,

" Then you should remember that she is your daughter-in-law, father. Sometimes son needs to teach his father if it's needed. Unfortunately I hated the word that you used to describe the position of my wife. Well, she is my bed tool indeed but legally not like any underground affair."

His words only worsened Oscar's pain invisibly. Oscar howled and cried impatiently but showed no sign of speaking up. Helplessly, Ayra decided to speak, feeling sorry for Oscar,

" Let go of him! He is your father, after all."

Her voice sounded little demanding. Eyes contiously glared at Cedric as she stated her command. Cedric grinned after her comment and demanded sweetly, momentarily forgetting the fact that they were in front of their father,

" Call me husband sweetly. I will let go of him."

Ayra was stunned before becoming speechless. Shooting a glare at him, she spoke between her gritted teeth,

" Your Highness! We aren't playing here."

Cedric demanded back innocently, never stopped torturing Oscar,

" Who said that I am playing?"

His eyes were reading through her hesitations. Understanding how childish this man could be, Ayra had to give up on her stubbornness. Parting her lip slightly, she spoke with a hint of hesitation in her voice,

" Let..let...him..go.. husband.."

Cedric immediately formed into a grin. Withdrawing his powers from Oscar's body, he commented with a shrug before grinning knowingly,

" See! So easy, Princess but you intend to make it difficult."

Ayra let out a scoff underneath her breath. If it wasn't for her own sympathetic mind for this old man, she would have never agreed to call such narcissistic man ' husband'. Besides, she hated the fact that Cedric was torturing the man for her sake. At least, she had this minimum respect for her father-in-law.

Letting out a soft sigh, Ayra peered her head up in the sky. The rain wasn't showing any intention of stopping rather dripped more powerfully than before. She suggested staring back on Oscar whose face was contoured in pain,

" Let's talk inside the castle. The rain is getting heavier."

Cedric nodded affirmatively and looked down at the man hatefully. So many years, decades had passed already but he never accepted him nor did he ever do.

*****************

Back inside the half broken castle, Ayra had prepared another room for them to chat. Looking around the broken furnitures and dirt everywhere, she was highly pissed off and wanted to get away as soon as possible. Somehow, she manage to gather two chairs and stationed them far away from each others in case Cedric loses his temper again.

Cedric sat across his chair, carefully raise his gaze on Oscar who was grumbling in pain on his opposite side. Fortunately, he wasn't attacking anymore and appeared a little distracted.

Ayra as their monitorer stayed on the doorway with a worried expression. Since Oscar wasn't speaking anything, she was afraid that they would indulge in terrible fights again.

Cedric took a glance of Ayra who wasn't seating anywhere. Tapping on his thighs, he spoke naturally with a grin,

" Princess! Come, sit on my lap."

Ayra glared at him harshly and resisted her urge of cursing this man. They were in serious situation yet he had the guts of flirting with her here, in front of Oscar.

Did he had no humours left inside?

Ayra was going to deny without thinking twice but saw him sending a threatening look. She swallowed back her prepared words and tiptoed on his way slowly. Once she scooted closer, Cedric grabbed her hands and put her on his lap naturally.

Shifting his attention back on Oscar, Cedric spoke watching the hatred glare on them amusingly,

" May I know why the former king wants to reclaim his throne? What do you want exactly?"

Oscar pulled his eyes up groggily. Switching his gaze back on Ayra who was equally curious about his answer. Curling his lips up slightly, Oscar commented mysteriously,

" I want your wife now."
