Loved By a Vampire King

Aaron and Ethan glanced up at Ayra confusingly after her words. They both exchanged glances after sensing the seriousness behind her voice and gestured her to continue,

" What is it, baby? Just say it."

Alexander who had great observation skills like her mother narrowed his gaze suspiciously. His red eyes subconsciously darted behind Ayra's back and saw Cedric standing at a corner. His eyes had a glimmer of happiness that made Alexander anxious unknowningly. He repeated the words of his father,

" What do you want to say, sister? Is it something bothering you?"

Though everyone forgot about Cedric's odd proposal, Alexander always felt restless when it came to Cedric. He had heard that this man was incredibly vicious and always won whatever he wished. He didn't want Ayra marrying such a devilish man like Cedric. Everyone waited patiently even Nathan stole a glimpse of Ayra's face from the pages of his book.

Cedric who kept his observation sharpened on Ayra began to feel a little worried.

Was this woman planning to reveal his acts from previous night? In that case, he wouldn't mind joining in a war with Dalastia.

Even Frenchies started to get worried on his master's behalf and started to cross his fingers worryingly.

Ayra understood that they were begining to get worried but she just couldn't spit out those words randomly. Her heart was breaking into pieces for Seth who perhaps would think her as a nasty woman or a greedy slut.

Moments afterwards, Ayra breathed heavily. Her face turned pale and she whispered loud enough to reach their ears,

" I...I would like to get married with King Cedric.. Father..I..I..suggest you to consider his proposal again..."

BANG!

Esme who was coming back with juices of trays for the boys paused abruptly after hearing her words. In this choas, she missed the balance and the tray fell over on the floor. The outsiders looked on their way unknowingly but didn't understand what was going on. Unable to detect their conversation, they whispered among themselves but didn't dare to approach since it was a royal matter.

Both Aaron and Ethan shot up from their spots hastily including Alexander and Arthur who all had disbelief expression on their faces. Ayra felt like her feet getting numb after the confession and battled to stay calm from outside. They were so much shocked that no one spoke for a while.

It was Alexander who broke the silence with his furious voice. With his eyes glimmering in rage, he shouted for the first time to his beloved sister,

" Sister Ayra, do you know that what are you saying?"

Ayra's heart broke at the coldness of Alex's tone. She knew that they were going to interrogate her decision at all. So she was mentally prepared and spoke with a forced smile,

" Ye..Yess...I..I am completely aware of that fact.."

Her family members couldn't believe what was coming from Ayra's mouth. Especially Athena whose mouth was slightly opened in disbelief. She knew that Ayra was madly in love with Seth thus it was impossible for her to believe now. She panted relentlessly placing her palms on her heart and heard Ayra's words blank headedly.

Aaron spoke first after taking two steps forward on her way,

" Ayra... What about Seth then? Did you just dump her or is there anything else going on? Tell us."

Ethan snapped back to reality after Aaron's words. Ayra wasn't that kind of girl who would treasure property,power above love. He joined with Aaron with a threatening voice,

" Tell us, Ayra. Has Seth done something wrong to you? Just speak.We can teach him a lesson or did he make you sad? Don't take marriage so lightly, Ayra. You know that it's a matter of eternity. Besides, that boy is so younger comparing to your age."

Cedric's face darkened instantly at the mention of their age gape. He thought of interrupting but reminding his position, he chose to stay quite since a familiy discussion was going on.

Ayra didn't answer any of their questions and kept hanging her head down. Facing their so much questions, she started to feel blank and came up with a low reply,

" Nothing happened..I..I just think that Cedric is right for me. Seth hasn't done anything wrong to me."

Instead I have broken his heart and trust.

Ayra told to herself and held back her tears. No one knew what was she feeling inside. Esme decided to speak finally and walked over to her daughter hastily. Pulling her arms up harshly, she asked with an enraging voice,

" Ayra, have you lost your mind? Did you fight with Seth? Is that why you are upset? What are you blabbering about? You want to marry Cedric? What about your love with Seth? Is that how you treat him? I am ashamed of you! "

Ayra couldn't lift up her eyes to meet Esme's wrath filled eyes. She knew that her mother would see through her lies once they shared eye contact. Enduring the pain in her heart, she whispered softly,

" Mommy.. It's..it's my choice.."

Athena interrupted with a cold voice from back,

" We always respected your choice but it doesn't mean that we will support you in your wrong decision too. You were in love with Seth for more than ten years. Now you are saying that you want to marry someone else? How will we believe your words? Ayra, what's wrong? Just tell us..We aren't so weak that we can't even protect our own daughter."

Ethan spoke again with arrogancy,

" Exactly! If you think that Dalastia will need the protection of Basarisk, you are absolutely wrong. We never needed any outsider's assistance. Your Papa's kingdom is strong enough to protect his people. Don't tell me that you have choosen this decision to bring more fortune to our world?"

Aaron also replied with a dark gaze,

" That's right. Besides, Vampires are always ready to help this kingdom out. What are you afraid of then? Your both mothers have remarkable position among vampires."

Ayra squeezed her eyes shut to hide her emotions and panted heavily. With her head still hanging down towards the floor, she repeated her words this time loudly,

" Father, Mother..I..I really haven't thought about it as a political marriage. I just want to get married with him. That's it.. Regarding Seth, he will understand eventually. I think that king Cedric is good for me."

Once again, everyone was speechless against her words. They didn't expect that someday Ayra would give up on Seth for the sake of Cedric. Only Alexander was calm so far and heard his sister's words attentively.

After her words, he glanced over Cedric coldly and saw him smirking lightly as if he was enjoying a show. Without any prior warning, Alexander rushed forward with his sword and charged towards Cedric who didn't even dodge.

With his sword pointing at Cedric's throat, Alexander roared beastly,

" What have you done to my sister, tell me? Tell me..You must have forced her to do it.. What did this bastard do to you, sister? Just tell us..then his head would be lying under the soil of Dalastia..Just tell us the truth for god sake.."

Arthur didn't wait any longer after seeing his brother's approach. Soon after, he joined Alexander with his own sword and aimed at it towards Cedric's waist. With his eyes glowing dangerously, he shouted at him furiously,

" I was wondering the same, brother. This led must have done something to our sister. Or else how could she think of marrying someone evil like him? It's your good fortune that your father is my uncle Ethan's friend. Or else we would have buried you alive on the day when you laid your eyes on our sister."

The calm tempered Nathan also came after them with his book and glanced at Cedric coldly. With his eyes narrowing slightly, he questioned coldly,

" Did you really do something wrong to our sister? Why is she agreeing to marry you so fast? You guys have met only yesterday."

Despite facing two swords and a whole bunch of people who were ready to kill him anytime, Cedric was calm on his face. With his lips smiling widely, he spoke indifferently,

" How lucky she is to have such protective brothers like you three! I can kill you three singlehandedly for the guts of raising your sword against me.. But..."

He paused delibaretly, shifted his eyes on Ayra whose expression turned horrified and resumed with a deep voice,

" I won't do that.. for her...Not because I am afraid of killing the heirs of Dalastia and Vampire worlds.Cedric Arnaldo Dixon was never afraid of anyone not even his own father. You all must well aware of my personality. Since she is willing to marry me, you all should bless us together. She is sensible enough to make her own choice. So don't behave like a villain of our love story. I don't want blood in my law's house."
