Ayra felt herself almost going insane at the thought of those chaos that were happening in front of her. Cerdic's threatening eyes made her extremely nervous and she was afraid that something terrible would happen if she didn't stop them right now. Even the guests who weren't understanding the exact reason behind this chaos were stunned when they saw the young princes rushing forward to start a fight.

Ayra was the one to interrupt first with her loud voice shaking in anxiety,

" STOP! STOP THIS! I said,stay back. Alex, Arthur..all of you.."

The twin gritted their teeth harder but let go of their swords when they all heard Ayra's urging voice. Cedric still didn't make a move and simply smirked at their retreating hands. He didn't expect that his soon-to-be wife would have so much influence over this boys.

They retracted and looked back at Ayra coldly. Before anyone could speak, Ayra shouted from the top of her lungs confidently,

" Don't fight with him, anymore. I am repeating my words that he has caused no harm to me. I am willing to marry him on my own wish. Please all of you calm down now."

Alexander still didn't seem convinced at all. He kept staring deep into Ayra's eyes but couldn't seem through her mind since she kept telling that she wasn't forced at all. Nathan could be considered the most calm tempered man among the siblings. After he heard Ayra's each words, he turned around and said to Arthur and Alexander slowly,

" I think that we should support her decision since she is willing."

Though Arthur didn't say a word, Nathan's words seemed to give him a little conscious. He sighed and glanced up at Alexander meaningfully who was still panting heavily.

Meanwhile,the onlookers were all shocked after the explosive news that they heard from Ayra's mouth. They started to gossip at once and some even tried to detect Cedric's identity impatiently. As he wasn't very familiar in Dalastia, no one assumed that he was the rumored Demon King of Basarisk.

Aaron's face was still black as ink. Though he wasn't quite sure that whether Cedric had used any cheap trick to lure his baby daughter or not, he wasn't pleased with Ayra's decision this time. Even Ethan,the noble king seemed to have a hard time concealing his anger and gave his one short powerful command,

" Guards, escort the guests into the second hallway. We need privacy."

The guards quickly compelled and respectedly asked the guests to follow them outside. In that entire hallway,only the Chole Family and Cedric with his butler were left alone. Cedric straightened up from his position and faced everyone boldly. His lips couldn't help but smiling slightly at the thought that Ayra was able to shut off their mouths with just few words.

Great! He needed such fiesty woman like her!

Knowing that her men were all boiling in anger, Esme decided to speak first and walked over Cedric bravely. With their eyes locked, Esme questioned in a serious tone,

" Are you seriously about our daughter? Don't think her as your play tool like other women. She isn't someone with whom you can afford to play with."

Cedric knew that Esme wasn't boasting at all. With the powers of her family, they could destroy a kingdom easily. Cedric smiled politely and bowed his head down a little. Taking in consideration that she was Ayra's mother, Cedric was extra respectfully and explained patiently,

" Of course! I am taking her as a slave or concubine. She will be my nominal wife legally. I can guarantee her safety in my castle. She will be treated as the queen without any doubts."

Esme hummed softly and came up with another question,

" But my daughter hates royal marriages. In a word, she isn't very preferably comfortable having concubines beside her. So how are you going to deal with this issue since It is an open secret that you have many women outside?"

Esme's straightforward question brought anxiety in the air and a little relief on Ayra's face. She hoped that at least Cedric would give up on her after this words.

He wouldn't leave his whole harem for her sake, would he?

But Cedric's didn't seem getting becoming tensed up at all. He smiled gleefully at Esme and answered seriously with his head bowing down respectively,

" From the day your daughter would start to carry my name beside her, I promise that my soul,heart and body will solemnly belong to her only. If I ever break this promise, she will be allowed to leave me anytime and there won't be any obstacles from our side."

After his sincere vows, the room fell in dense silence. The most shocked person was his butler who already thought that their end were very nearer. He never ever imagined that someday his arrogant king would take a liking on an elderly woman. But he really thought that god had given his greatest mercy on him. He would no longer have to clear Cedric's bad reputation anymore. But how did the Princess agree so easily? Did he really something do behind his back?

His butler's suspension grew stronger when he noticed the confident look on Cedric's eyes as if he knew that this was going to happen. He..he even agreed to not touch any woman except Ayra..

Was he going insane?

Even Ayra looked up at Cedric disbelievingly. She didn't expect that Cedric would agree with Esme's words so easily.

Why on earth he was so desperate to have her?

Esme was a little taken back. Just as she opened her mouth to say something, Alexander roared from back anxiously,

" Mother..For god sake..are you really thinking about this marriage? He is just luring you with his words. Don't believe on his words."

Cedric gave a silent look at Alexander who was disgusted with him. His look defined like this boy was persistent of becoming the villan of my love story.

Esme was angered and shot her hot-temptered boy a harsh glare. She ordered him sharply,

" Don't talk between us. When I am talking with him personally, just keep your mouth shut. I am sensible enough to judge between right and wrong or else I would have doomed long back by your Vampire monsters. Keep quiet until I talk."

Alexander attempted to speak but at the end gave up knowing his mother's rage. Cedric was contended after her warning and started to pay deep attention towards his words.

Esme shifted her attention back on Cedric and dimmed her eyes a little. Paying deep attention on his facial expression, she questioned again coldly,

" What compensation would you give to my daughter if you fail her? I have heard that you don't share harmonious relationship with your other family members. What if someday you fall in danger and die, my daughter would be in grief danger without any support."

Esme wasn't being greedy here. She simply wanted to make sure Ayra's furture prosperous. Being in a Royal Marriage, she knew very well that how difficult was it to stay in your position. Hence, Ayra wasn't running for a Royal Marriage in the past, they didn't think about it. Now, this matter had become the serious point in their marriage.

Cedric pondered for a while and replied with humour,

" I know that you are insecure about your daughter well being. I will make a will of my assets. After my death, our child and she both will have the right to ascend on my throne. She will become the ruler of Basarisk. Is it worth enough to prove my sincerity towards her?"

This time, Aaron and Ethan both were shocked equally and exchanged glances meaningfully.

Was he going to give his kingdom to Ayra so easily? He was so confident about her?

Even Esme was surprised a little and fell in dillemma. She didn't find a clue to reject this proposal instead Cedric gave her more satisfying answer than she expected from him.

Esme sighed helplessly and turned around to face Ethan who was still astounding. After a while, she spoke to the people standing in front of her,

" Well, I don't think now that we should stop them from getting married. Besides, Ayra is willing too."

Athena agreed with Esme's decision and spoke coming towards her,

" I feel the same. Since our daughter think that Cedric is right man for her, why must we reject? Ethan, you should start taking preparations soon."

Since the mothers had agreed, Ethan or Aaron couldn't deny the proposal anymore. They could only do underground investigation on Cedric to know that he didn't had any ulterior motives behind this marriage.

Athena asked with a slight smile to Cedric,

" So king Cedric, when are you planning to marry my daughter?"

Cedric smirked and replied shamelessly,

" As soon as possible."

Athena laughed as Ayra turned crimson in embarrassement. She never knew that Cedric had such blatant mouth. With a deep voice, she spoke snatching back their attention on her,

" I would like to have a private chat with his highness for a while."
