Jessie Arnaldo Dixon,the second princess of Dixon Clan was renowned among the citizens for her outrageous and hot tempered nature. With the status of Princess, she acted sometimes so blatantly that his brother had to take responsibilities for her wrong doings personally. It was no longer a secret that Jessie didn't like her younger brother at all. Unless she was helpless or needed something from Cedric, she wouldn't show up in front of him ever. She bore a deep hatred towards Cedric since their childhood. Neither Cedric could blame her.
After all, who will love the murderer of her mother?
Jessie secretly rolled her eyes at his trolling. He could see through her mind so easily even though she doesn't interact with him at all. Jessie hesitated to spill out the beans from her bag but a guard who was the protector of Jessie took the initiative to talk first. He made his way towards the butler with his head bowing down and whispered something in a low voice.
When the butler finished hearing,his expression turned grim. With a sigh of helplessness, he approached Cedric timidly and passed the information that he heard from that guard.
Cedric's expression remained unchanged. His forehead caressed lightly and a dark layer appeared behind his eyes. He tiptoed towards Jessie who didn't dare to meet his questioning eyes. Cedric paused, crossed his arms behind and asked coldly,
" You killed people from Davina again? Why did you go to Inn when we have a bar stationed inside the palace? You killed seven people of them, seriously?"
Jessie frowned, lifted her startling eyes up and protested herself with confidence,
" Seven? It was five, brother. Who the hell dare to lie to you?"
She blurted furiously and averted her eyes on the butler who just whispered something to the butler. The young guard was so afraid that he hid behind the butler to avoid Jessie's raged eyes. She was so engrossed in killing that she even forgot the exact numbers of people that she killed.
Cedric didn't scold her or showed any wrath on his face at all. He felt like he owed his sisters a lot. Unfolding his arms from back, he spoke softly,
" Don't get into trouble always, Jessie. Someday you might fall in great danger."
With this saying,he shifted his focus on the butler who already knew that what was coming. Holding a natural expression, he ordered coldly,
" Seal their mouths and send rich compensation to the families. If anyone talks about it,tell them that I have killed those people. Go! "
The butler quickly nodded in obedience and urged the guard to follow him around.
Cedric pulled his eyes away from his subordinates and turned around to leave. As he took two steps inside, Jessie's cracking voice echoed from back,
" Brother...Tha.. Thank..you..."
Cedric halted in his track. A rare kind of emotions floated through his expression. With his lips smiling faintly,he turned back and met Jessie's unreactive eyes that showed how much she was unwilling to call him 'Brother'. He spoke with sadness lacing from his voice,
" I would have much appreciated it if you called me 'Brother' on your own."
Jessie bit back her tongue, shocked and embarrassed to the point that she dropped her head down and heard his footsteps dissaparing into the darkeness of palace slowly.
Cedric came across the hallway groggily. When his eyes travelled into the couch,a sweet and rare smile formed into his lips. At the same time, the woman with book tilted her head up and gave her best smile that immediately relaxed his unsettled emotions.
With his arms opening wide, he made a childish tongue to embrace his eldest sister,
" Uncle wants to hug his little gummy bear."
Isabella laughed hard and supported her protruding belly to sit up. Giggling shyly, she accepted his brother's hug sweetly and snorted unhappily,
" Humph! Uncle only have times for his beauties."
Cedric laughed and placed a lovely kiss on her forehead. Isabella was seven months pregnant and was expecting a baby boy. Unlike Jessie,her younger sister, she was much more quite and calm tempered. She talked less and always very reserved regarding her own emotional feelings. Comparing to Jessie's beauty, she was different kind of beauty. With her brown eyes and pitch black hairs, she emitted an aura of elegant lady who could make anyone respect her subconsciously.
Isabella complained taking off her brother's coat and hanged it down on its hands naturally,
" Why did you stay for two days? I never knew that you are in love with Dalastia so much. Or was there so many beauties to accompany you?"
Cedric laughed mysteriously, walked over to the couch and plopped down with a light thud. With his legs crossing together, he grinned before spilling out dramatically,
" Mmm..No! Actually I am going to get married in Dalastia."
" Pfft! ", Isabella brust into laughter to the point that her stomach kept aching. Still laughing, she waved her hands saying,
" Don't joke around with me, Cedric. Marriage and you..O my god..The world will be ending that day then.."
Isabella wasn't convinced to believe that her brother who never touched a same woman twice would actually get married in this lifetime. Whenever she tried to guide him regarding love or marriage, he would simply run away from her.
Cedric's face tightened unhappily. He grunted arrogantly and replied seriously,
" Sister, I am serious. I have already fixed the date. I am going to get married with their only one Princess, Ayra Chole. You don't believe me? Ask butler! "
This time, Isabella stopped laughing with a shock written all over her face. With her eyes widening apart, she sutured disbelievingly,
" Hell no! Why do the Princess of Dalastia would like to marry a psychopath like you?"
Cedric's face turned black in frustration. With his teeth gritting together, he growled lowly,
" Whose sister are you exactly?"
Isabella chuckled lightly and waved her hands jokingly,
" Well, I am just kidding."
Then she became excited, hopped on her brother's side excitedly and started her non-stop nagging,
" Woah! Cedric Arnaldo Dixon has finally found an interesting woman to marry.. Seriously..Tell me, brother.. What happened? Did you just fell in love with her or..or.. don't tell me that you forced yourself on her and their king made you marrying her forcibly?"
Cedric was doomed to the point that he kept grunting annoyingly. Even his sister didn't believe on his character anymore.
He shot her a helpless glare and pleaded frustratingly,
" Can't you think straight for once at least?"
Isabella shook her head innocently and replied with a serious face,
" No. With your character, it is impossible for a noble princess like her to fall in love with you at first sight."
Cedric was speechless. He was now even mocked by his dear sister. Just when he pursued his lips to say something, his personal guard made a sudden appearence.
He greeted the Princess and Lord politely and reported cautiously,
" My Lord, we have found a dead wolf near the border of Basarisk. It appeared like he was killed by the shifter chitahs of Davina."
Cedric's smile dropped and replaced with a cold of danger. His eyes narrowed dangerously as if he was making conclusions inside. He leant against the couch more leisurely and gave his chilling words,
" Read a letter to the king of Davina that if this continues, his disobedient commander of shifter Chitah would be less of his problem very soon."
The guard swallowed hard and didn't expect that Cedric would impose such a threat to the king boldly. He bowed and took his leave to proceed his order. No matter what,he couldn't say any objective words.
Isabella sighed deeply after his command. No matter how much she tried, her brother's cruelty increased day by day. She wished that there would be someone to control him one day before she died.
As the air between siblings came back to its normal state, Cedric started to mention each every details regarding his marriage with Ayra. Obviously he skipped the part that he had actually forced her to accept the proposal. Isabella listened quitely with a smile and was satisfied with his decision. Even she could detect that something was growing inside her brother's heart.
Midway of their conversation, their harmonious chat was interrupted again. This time, it was butler who barged inside the hallway with an anxious face. His face was looking so pale as if he had encountered a ghost.
Cedric narrowed his gaze at his way and seemed confused. The butler even forgot to bow and reported muttering,
" My Lord..The princess..Ayra..She is missing for an hour..We just have received the news from our spy.."
Cedric hauled up from spot in a shot and looked deep through his eyes dangerously. A killing aura quickly emitted from his body. There was no sign of softness on his expression anymore. Pursuing his lips together,he murmured clenching his fist together tightly,
" It seems like Seth Chole want to depart this world fast, butler."
