Loved By a Vampire King

THEME SONG: Demon Time By Aryan Shah ~?

Ayra couldn't help but wondering about the new king of Basarisk.During the past few years, she heard so many gossips revolving him that made her reluctant and utterly disgusted to meet the new king. But as her mothers taught her always. Being the Princess of Dalastia, she couldn't be so rude in front of such important guest. She could only hurry up their introduction ceremony and leave the ball as soon as possible. Then the rest of her time was binded for her boyfriend, Seth Collins. Though he could anytime visit her in the castle since their relationship was an open secret now,she still felt embarrassed in front of her family members. Furthermore dating secretly was honestly exciting.

Arthur snapped his finger in front of dazed Ayra and caused her to jump slightly. With a light chuckle, Arthur teased her jokingly,

" Hey,sista. Where did you lost? Don't tell me that you are thinking about your little boyfriend again?"

Ayra smacked his hands away, stood up and answered with a growl while checking on her outfit one last time into the mirror,

" What little boyfriend? He is already one year older than me."

Arthur continued teasing her. He adored the red blushing cheeks of his sister whenever they talked about her boyfriend,

" Appearently he looks like a baby beside you."

Ayra blushed and opened her mouth to protest but Alex soothed the situation with his urging voice,

" Okay.. Okay...Let's get over with it, guys..Or else Mom will come to beat all of us anytime soon. Let's go downstairs and greet the guests."

Then He signaled at Nathan who was still immersed inside his book,

" Nathan, follow us downstairs now. Spare your book for a while, gosh."

People's chatter were echoing in the air of White Castle. The Latin Moon festival was the biggest occasion for fairies that happened once in a year. Due to Ethan's working outside of kingdom, the white castle didn't celebrate this festival for years. This year, Athena, the queen of Dalastia insisted on celebrating grandly. Thus all the civilians and close friends were invited this time. The celebration would be going on for two days and all the accommodations would be provided from the White Castle.

The man in black coat appeared on the doorway with a boring smile. His demonic eyes glanced around lazily and barely inspected everyone's movements. His butler was the most anxious person now. If his king offended king Ethan with his rude behavior, then everything would go wrong.

The butler secretly wiped his shin sweat and started to look for King Ethan who was the reason behind this ball. He knew that Cedric had been invited by king Ethan only for the sake of former king Oscar. Thus they couldn't dare to refuse this proposal.

Just as the butler started to get worried about Cerdic's unscrupulous temper, a man's calm voice echoed from aside,

" Cerdic Arnaldo, am I right?"

Cedric snapped his head aside instinctively including the butler who sighed in relief. In opposite direction, Ethan was standing with a cup of tea between his forefingers. Though he stil looked handsome, there was a sign of older age on his face. Cedric frowned his brows in confusion and intended to ask who he was. But his butler saved their dignity wisely.

He bowed his head longingly and greeted with a polite smile,

" King Ethan! "

Cedric quickly got into the act. With a little smile, he bowed his head slightly and greeted respectively,

" Uncle Ethan! Is that what I should call you?"

Cedric's intimate greeting shocked the butler including the black cat down there. On the other side, Ethan seemed very pleased with his way of addressing. He returned his greeting with a broadening smile and welcomed coyly,

" Welcome to Dalastia! Sure, you should call me uncle. Your father and I were well accquianted in the past. I happen to see you for the first time. You are very young. I am so proud of you that you have ascended on the throne so early and handled the kingdom well."

Cedric barely smiled while replying,

" You are flattering me, King Ethan. You are the an idol for most of us."

Ethan smiled faintly and offered him casually,

" Oh, King Aaron is also here. Come to visit him anytime and please feel free around."

Cedric nodded and replied with a smile,

" Sure, I would love to have a gathering. I will be joining you two after having a look around."

Ethan nodded with understanding and left the place after saying,

" All right! You can have a look of White Castle first. Sorry, it's a bit crowded today."

Then Ethan's eyes suddenly dropped on the black cat nearby Cerdic's feet. He exclaimed amusingly,

" Oh my! You have a pet cat?"

Cedric who happened to recall the mischievous creature down there stole a glimpse of his angry cat. He replied mysteriously,

" Uh..ha..I just love to see him as a cat.."

Ethan furrowed and asked confusingly,

" Pardon?"

Cedric laughed softly and said waving his hands off dismissively,

"Just kidding, uncle Ethan. I know that you have many important guests to attend now. We can have a good chitchat later."

Ethan didn't interrogate any longer and went back into the crowd indifferently. Cedric's earlier warm expression dropped after his leave and turned into a stern one. Then he glared at his butler and growled angrily,

" What a chaos in here, butler! Why didn't you tell me in first that there will be so much people around? Damn! You can roam around on your on. I am going to grab some drinks."

Then he looked down at the poker faced cat and called out coldly,

" Frenchis, come with me. You better soften your expression or else people may find you auspicious."

He spoke but already left for the temporary bar stationed at a corner and left the butler alone behind.

Meantime, the busy crowd suddenly exclaimed with admiration while looking up at the stairs from where a group of teenager were striding down. In lead, there was a beautiful lady with maroon-colored gown followed by three teenager who was probably at their early twenties. The boys were all wearing matched outfit that looked catchy in eyes and had a noble aura emitting from them naturally. One look of them, the audience had already predicted their identities and had started arguing on the fact that who looked more handsome. 

Ayra shook her head slightly at the gossips circling around them and ignored as usual. People used to call them Devils since they had such incredible powers than any average fairy or Vampire. No matter how many ages back their fathers changed the law, they were still an eye-sore in people's mind especially Ayra who was treasured immensely by her whole family.

As soon as her last step stopped on the hallway, another beautiful figure ran over to them from nowhere. Without exchanging any words, Elizabeth,the closest friend of Ayra started to drag her inside the crowd hastily,

" Damn! Ayra, I have been waiting for hours. I haven't gotten any partner to dance till now. Come and dance with me..Come.."

Ayra staggered few steps and looked back at her brothers who silently gestured her to go ahead. Who didn't know that how nagging Elizabeth was! Thus she could only follow her into the crowd and become an obedient dance partner of Elizabeth.

Cedric found a quiet corner to sip his fresh wine. His appearence attracted a lot of audiences but as soon as they met his devil like eyes, they didn't dare to approach any further and ran away. His cat rubbed its fluffy body against his shoes which had a different meaning that could only be understood by Cedric. But the poker faced man completely ignored the existence of that poor thing down there and continued inspecting the crowd boringly.

His dark eyes fell on the ladies who all dressed either eye-catchingly or too revealing to attract some big fish. A sinister smile formed at the corner of his lips when he thought of having someone at night. They had pretty good figures honestly.

Just when he inteneded to pull away his eyes from the crowd, his breathing hitched slightly. The red wine inside his mouth stuck midway getting lost whether to go up or down. Amidst the crowd of hundreds people, his red eyes rested on girl's laughing face. She was dancing very awkwardly without caring about the crowd who sometimes gave her a stern look. She was careless about her own image in front of the crowd and appeared like she was enjoying the best days of her life.

His red wine finally rolled down to his stomach. With a suppressed sigh escaping through his lips, his lips curled up into an amusing smile. A smile that could move a woman's heart without doing anything.

His eyes kept staring at the jumping girl without moving. Without being notified by anyone, he twisted his fingers and the black cat finally got back his ability of speaking which could be heard by him only.

Frenchis panted in relief and was going to have a terrible fight with his master. But before his complaints could come out, Cedric questioned in a deep voice,

" Frenchis, look over there. Who is she?"

Frenchis, the mistreated cat wailed one more time and followed his gaze. With a surprised look on ots face, the cat responded in deep human voice,

" If my memory tells me right, that girl is possibly the elder Princess,Ayra Chole. Why?"

Cedric's lips couldn't help but smiling widely. He nudged his bottom lips seductively and replied with a mysterious chuckle,

" I just see my death in her eyes."

The black cat almost spatted blood after this comment. He kept mumbling repeatedly,

" My Lord.. Don't get too horny each time when you see a beautiful woman..She isn't your type.."

Cedric asked with a frown,

" Then what is she?"

The black cat felt speechless. He was merely trying to divert the topic but his lord seemed too persistent. The tiny creature could only grit his teeth harder angrily and blurted out impatiently,

" I meant that she is your elder sister's age and probably seven or eight years older than you."

Cedric paused a bit and inquired with an indifferent voice,

" So you think that my pennies won't fit in her just because I am younger than her?"

Frenchis "...."

All right! Pretend that I haven't asked anything! 

Cedric gulped down the last portion of his wine, brushed his lips of clumsily and started to head towards the direction of Ayra slowly.

The girl who was dancing cheerfully and was having the best day of her life didn't know what was coming for her!
