RECOMMEND SONG: Crazy In Love By Sofia Kerlberg (Cover)~🖤

Cedric's words made her whole world collapsing down in a moment. Her ears were reverberating those words repeatedly. Ayra's fist clenched aside tightly, shook in anger and agony for dragging Seth into this choas. With her ears hearing faintly the noises of woods burning down, her heart ached painfully.

Her lips pressed into a thin line and voice came out a little bit shaky,

" How...how.. longer King Cedric? For how long that you want me to serve you as a bed warmer?"

Ayra's question didn't affect on his reaction much. Initially she was stating the truth. He changed women too frequently and his personal life was a little bit corrupted. But it was all before he met her. He didn't mean to blackmail her but at the same way, he couldn't let her marry another man except him.

Ayra kept her tearful eyes stuck on his indifferent face and was breathing heavily. After a moment of silence, Cedric started to approach her slowly and brushed past behind her. With his hot breathing falling on her bare neck, he breathed a single word,

" Forever! "

Ayra sneered coldly and snapped tilting her face aside,

" Why, king Cedric? Isn't it your habit of using a woman for once? Just tell me for how long you want me, then I can decide."

Cedric breathed on her skin deeply and replied with an ambiguous tone,

" For you it's different. Yes, I want you but for eternity. This body of yours can't satisfy me once. I want to enjoy it forever."

Ayra felt a chill running through her spine when Cedric stated that he wanted her for forever. With her tears rolling down through her cheeks, Ayra mumbled between her sobs,

" What.. what do I have to do? Please...save Seth..I..I..am willing to do anything.."

Cedric complimented with a bright smile,

" That's like my girl. See, you should have just accepted it earlier. Then your so called boyfriend would have been in less pain."

Ayra urged hurriedly,

" Just stop the fire..I am doing anything for you.."

Cedric who was satisfied with his answer grinned happily and walked past in front of her from back. With his height towering on her domineerinly, he explains casually,

" Nothing much! You will just inform your fathers tomorrow morning that you are willing to get married with me, not Seth."

Ayra bit down her lips in pain so forcefully that it started bleeding lightly. With her heart wrenching in pain, she blurted few words between her choking,

" I..I promise.. Just..just save Seth.."

Cedric who heard her promise immediately smiled brightly on her face. With his eyes shinning in happiness, he averted his eyes on the fireplace and gazed through the flickers deeply. Much to Ayra's surprise, the fire lit off as soon as Cedric's commandable eyes fell on them. The after effect of smoke quickly started to spread in the air and Ayra couldn't hold back her anxiety anymore.

She picked one side of her gown and rushed her way towards the half burnt villa. As she picked only few steps, Cerdic's interrupted again coldly,

" WAIT!"

Her track halted again and with her tearful eyes, she turned around to face Cedric who stood a few steps away from her indifferently. She saw him clapping his hands together dramatically. Confused, she kept staring at his mysterious smile and followed his gaze which went over inside the darkeness of nearby bush.

Then within a moment, two muscular men come out with Seth and his aunt. Their lips were sealed with a tape and hands were tied behind their backs like a prisoner. Ayra was startled in shocked and breathed in relief at the same time when she saw them unharmed.

The most shocked person was Seth who kept switching his eyes between Ayra and Cedric. He didn't understand what was going on. When he was having midnight snack with his aunt, Meredith, this people suddenly barged inside. Then without providing them any reasonable explaination, they started binding them for no reason and dragged them inside the dark forest nearby.

Ayra almost ran over to Seth who was boring doubts in his eyes for her arrival. But before Ayra could take a single step, Cedric's icy voice stopped her track again,

" Remember your position now, Princess."

Ayra stopped and Seth with his hands and lips sealed kept staring at them muddleheaded. Cedric with a devilish smirk started to crawl towards Ayra slowly. When they got closer, Cedric's words made everyone froze around them,

" You aren't allowed to meet him anymore, Princess. Remember that you are my fiance from tomorrow onwards. Besides..."

He delibaretly paused, lifted his hand up and picked the teardrops on the tip of his fingers. With his brows tightening together, he said with a hint of warning lacing from his tone,

" This tears shouldn't fall down for this man anymore. You hear me.. fiancee?"

Cedric emphasized the last word purposely and smirked at her blank expression with a light smile. Behind them, Seth was astounded for a long time and started whimpering from his sealed lips. He appeared like he had questions for Ayra.

Ayra opened and closed her lips hesitantly and didn't dare to oppose him anymore. Her one wrong move could take Seth's life who was still in his hands. She sniffed and hung her head down helplessly. After controlling her emotions, she tilted her face aside to meet Seth's questioning eyes and murmured lowly,

" I am sorry! "

Their eyes stayed stuck for a moment and then a broke off when Cedric reminded her slowly,

" I think that you should start getting used of your behavior from now on, Princess."

Ayra quickly withdrawed her eyes from Seth and pleaded in a low voice,

" I would like to return in my castle, please."

Cedric immediately compelled gladly while taking her palms on his own,

" Sure whatever my lady wishes. Besides I don't want your eye-soring anymore."

With the saying, Cedric shifted his eyes on Frenchies who was holding down Seth and ordered with a mysterious smile,

" Take care of him."

Frenchies nodded with his head bowing slightly and saw them vanishing into air in a blink of eye. Behind them, Seth kept screaming Ayra's name between his gauged mouth miserably. He didn't fully hear what they spoke to each others exactly but he didn't like the way Cedric was looking at his girlfriend.

Meanwhile, it took only few seconds to arrive at the White Castle with Cedric's passing speed. Leaving her inside the room, Cedric intended to stay for a few moments but glancing up at Ayra's pale face, he gave up the idea and walked back to his living room which was provided by the White Castle.

Just as he reached at the doorway, Alexander found him walking around and suddenly his eyes dimmed a little. He didn't like the way Cedric earlier bargained with his sister.

Cedric smiled upon noticing Alexander and greeted politely considering their future relationship,

" Greetings, Prince Alexander."

Alexander replied with a cold smile and asked with a hint of doubt,

" Your highness! Were you looking for something?"

Cedric smirked lightly and replied with a shrug,

" Nope! I was just passing around the castle."

Alexander replied back with a smile and hummed,

" I see! I hope that my sister's room won't fall in your passing area."

Cedric laughed softly and answered with a hint of coldness,

" Such an over protective brother. But I guess that we should start getting along well from now on."

Alexander who grew suspicious on his words queired worryingly,

" Means?"

Cedric didn't explain further and only laughed with humour leaping out from his voice. He walked past Alexander and entered into his room before saying briefly,

" Goodnight, little brother-in-law."

Cedric dissapared behind the door leaving Alexander frozen in his spot. Just as Alexander intended to interrogate him further, Cedric closed the door from inside leaving no options for him rather than dying in curiousity.

As soon as he entered, he saw Frenchis waiting for him who happened to come back after releasing Seth from their captive. Before Cedric could ask any questions, Frenchis commented gloomily,

" You have hurt her too much."

Cedric reached for his coat to pull down and replied with a light smile,

" She will eventually realise that what is good for her. When the time comes,she will thank me. Not every beginning should be sweet like honey Frenchies. As long as there is a happy ending, nothing doesn't matter."

Frenchis who didn't feel ease at all inquired with worries,

" What if she doesn't agree to marry you tomorrow?"

Cedric smirked while getting out of his dirty shoes,

" She doesn't have any choice rather than compelling."

He paused midway, looked up at Frenchies and resumed with a dangerous smile,

" If she tries to back off cunningly,she would gladly welcome the worst devilish side of mine. Chil out! She is going to be mine."
