Ayra was speechless after hearing him out. He was staring at her so intensely that she could assume him ripping her clothes mentally. His lupsided smile only increased the heat between her thighs and for a while, she forgot that there was another guest except them in the room.

Cedric waited for her answer patiently. His eyes never missed the tiny changes on her expression. He enjoyed the sight of her cheeks turning red after receiving second hand embarrassement from him. She wasn't an open minded person unlike him who didn't watch his words before speaking. He always spoke from his mind without any hesitation and shame.

An intentional cough pulled them back to reality. Startled by sudden interference, Ayra looked up only to see Alexander smiling at them awkwardly. Alexander chuckled repositioning the cards on the table in a row,

" We should play first, Your Highness and sister, I don't think that you need me necessarily to teach you how to play cards. See, the mastermind is right after you."

Cedric chuckled shamelessly accepting his compliment openly,

" So true, Princess but my price rates are quite high."

Ayra just wanted to bury herself into the ground. From the corner of her eyes, she could see that Alexander, her cold faced brother was fighting hard to suppress his laughter. Even now he had joined him in embarrassing her. It seemed like this demon had impressed everyone with his narcissistic side.

Ayra mumbled shooting a glare at Cedric,

" I better take my leave now, Your Highness. This place isn't for me."

She scowled before sitting up and headed straight for the outdoor. She better found Elizabeth to chitchat rather than being embarrassed by him in front of her brother.

Inside the study, Alexander and Cedric were ready to play a round. Alexander spoke excitedly,

" What would you like to bet, Your Highness? I should be rewarded generously as you are my brother-in-law and this is my first time visiting in Basarisk."

Cedric chuckled lightly. Tapping his fingers over the desk, he stated meaningfully,

" How about we exchange some secrets?"

Alexander wondered patting the cards over the desk,

" Secrets? You have my sister in your house already."

Cedric pondered grinning at him mysteriously,

" Having her and owning her is different, Prince Alex. I just need a little information from you. What type of boys that your sister likes exactly?"

Alexander brust into laughter. He didn't expect that Cedric was still having a tough times after marrying her. Indeed her sister's stubbornness had never failed to dissapoint anyone. Controlling his laugh for a while, he asked out of curiosity,

" But what do I get in return if I win?"

Cedric smirked evilly this time. His fingers streched out to pick up a strawberry from the bowl. Putting it inside his mouth, he replied calmly,

" A night stuck in a room with Elizabeth to end the cold war between you two."

Alexander was astounded by his proposal. He couldn't get the fact that how did Cedric manage to notice the war between them. Swallowing down hard, Alexander commented letting out a scowl,

" Your Highness! You are too cruel."

Cedric chuckled swallowing down the leaked juice from his fruit,

" So I am, Prince Alex. A win-win situation."

Ayra came down to fetch some Papayas for Elizabeth who loved to eat this fruit like crazy. Vampire was keen to use silent steps. Thus her steps became barely detectable. As she took her steps towards the kitchen, she heard few maids bickering pretty loudly at least loud enough for her to listen everything.

A silver haired girl commented snickering,

" I don't understand why the king favours the queen so much. Look at her! I admit that she is quite pretty but she is older than him."

Other maid joined her who was boiling water for Isabella,

" You don't understand? The queen comes from a powerful family background. The king must have done this on purpose to secure the position of our kingdom. Or else why would he take a liking on her? She doesn't have very good figure. Besides the king never touches a woman twice. Have you heard about this? The king had fucked everyone almost from our previous batch of maids. Aiyoo! They are so lucky. Now the queen is present in the palace, he wouldn't dare to summon us. What a shame! "

The silver haired maid bickered confidently,

" Just wait for a few days! Once the king ravishes enough of the queen and put an heir inside her womb, he will definitely call us. Do you believe that he can change his actual personality? Never! Once a characterless, always a characterless."

They spoke before brusting into laughter. All the maids wanted to approach him only because they wanted to change their luck.

Who wouldn't want to live in the king's favour?

Ayra stayed there unmovingly. Her feet felt numb as if she had forgotten how to walk away. Their words like a slow poison inside her heart. Though she had a vague feeling that Cedric changed after marrying her, their words were true. There was no reason to marry her who was elder than him.

The feelings that she felt towards him so far all became fake again. She could only visualize her future as a baby maker only. He needed someone to bore an heir for his kingdom. Co-incidentally, his eyes landed on her and he decided to marry.

Ayra didn't enter any longer. She turned around slowly and strode back upstairs with an uncomfortable pain. No woman would be able to bear such comments regarding her husband and Ayra wasn't any exceptional.

At the end of day, she had to question herself that did she really do the right thing in marrying Cedric or leaving Seth who stayed by her side for seven years?
