Voice Of Love: " You are the only fire that I wish to be burnt willingly ~Cedric Arnaldo Dixon "
RECOMMENDED SONG: Stand Still By Sabrina Claudio ~?
Ayra couldn't understand a bit of Siemus's words who started to search her room hastily. She kept repeating the phrase that there was someone else except them inside the chamber. Just when Siemus pulled out the curtains that separated Ayra's chamber from the corridor, a black cat wailed enragingly. His eyes showed wrath when he looked up at Siemus whose face was stone cold.
Siemus barked out angrily,
" What is this thing?"
Only then Ayra tilted her head back and spotted the black cat of Cedric. Her sleeping face paled slightly after hearing his wail.
What was he doing in here?
Ayra pursued her lips together while climbing off from the bed,
" The cat... It belongs to his highness..What is it doing in my chamber? Did he leave it mistakingly?"
Siemus who kept observing the cat deeply blurted out annoymously,
" It's not a simple cat. It's a shifter like me. No wonder, I heard someone talking."
Frenchies who wasn't allowed to change his form without Cedric's order gritted his tiny teeth frustratingly. His master never mentioned that there was another shifter in White Castle. He left him purposely in order to keep an eye on Ayra but who thought that he would be discovered soon. Naturally a shifter could hear the voice of another shifter.
Siemus ordered bossily, annoyed on the fact that he was still pretending to be a normal cat,
" Shift! "
Frenchies was astounded after hearing her order and wished that he could smash her face. Since his identity got revealed accidentally, he couldn't show off his true form in front of Siemus. It was forbidden. Just then Ayra's eyes dialeted in astonishment when she remembered that she saw him shifting earlier in the hut. Her face froze as she grumbled angrily,
" You..you...You are that boy from hut..Why are you hiding in my room?"
Siemus's face darkened further. She casted a cold glare to the indifferent cat and howled impatiently,
" You won't show your true form, isn't it? Fine! Then we are going to call you pussy cat from now on."
Ayra almost brust into laughter after her hilarious comment and waved at Frenchies dismissively,
" Leave my room! I wonder how did you end up in here! Leave us alone! It seems like I don't have any privacy."
Frenchies was still fuming in anger. Before leaving the room, he wailed at Siemus dangerously and rushed outside. Siemus frowned at its retreating back and grumbled with a huff,
" Seee! Still he didn't shift in front of us! Such a pussy cat! Anyways it looks like your husband is very concerned about your safety."
Ayra gritted her teeth harder and didn't spit a order. Well, he wasn't concerned at all and only feared that she would fly away again. Just when a maid knocked on the door and came inside with her engagement gown. Thus the topic of Frenchies was diverted away naturally.
With the help of several civilians, the preparation for their engagement party was done within few hours. A formal invitation was sent to Cedric's palace earlier in the morning. Even the dowries were started to come one by one followed by the butler of Cedric. When the average people were invited once again in their engagement ceremony, they were shocked to death. Since Seth's topic was still hot in the gossip table, they didn't expect that Ayra would go for her marriage with a rumoured king so fast. Some even envied cursing that she had definitely left Seth for the sake of Cedric's status. Whatever it was, they were happy to know that the Collins family wouldn't show off their status anymore. Since the day they were preparing to enter the Royal Family as in-laws, they treated others very poorly as if they belonged to Chole family already.
Soon the long expected evening fell down. The sky changed color to bright to dark and people started to join slowly. The boys with heavy heart greeted the people and were personally looking after the guests. When the civilians saw the enormous decorations, they were beyond thrilled. King Ethan had definitely spared no effort in decorating when it came to their beloved daughter.
One of the guard shouted giving alarm of someone's entering as the people all turned their way towards the entrance. A man in black tailored suit walked in carrying his strong presenc. Two buttons of his suit was opened revealing his shiny skin that was glistening under the neon light of chandelier. Cedric looked quite charming today. A devilish smirk was playing on his sexy pair of lips that highlighted his devil like face more. He was happy about the attention that the people were giving him this time. Unlike other time, this people were watching her as the future husband of Ayra.
Cedric bowed before greeting Ethan who was chatting with some ministers,
" Uncle Ethan! "
Ethan hummed softly before peering outside. When he saw noone entering in from Cedric's side, he queired curiously,
" Where are your sister?"
Cedric smiled maintaining a calm face as he answered,
" My elder sister is pregnant. Moving around in this condition isn't suitable for her. Talking about my younger sister, she doesn't like gathering so much."
Ethan didn't doubt on his words and coaxed while patting on his shoulder,
" Don't worry! We are also your family. Let your sister visit us after she gives birth."
Cedric nodded compherensively and was glad that Ethan didn't mind. Bringing Jessie would cause more trouble thus he had to come alone. Soon Melinda came in the spot who didn't meet her grand son-in-law yet. Cedric showed utmost respect to her and soon they got along really well.
Their attention soon after diverted on the stairs when Ayra started to descend down swinging her custom maiden white gown. The gown was tightly fitted in her body highlighting each curves and she imposed like a Princess who existed in fairy tales. Her angelic appearence quickly gathered admiration from the crowd who was still gossiping about how she was going to marry someone younger than her.
Cedric almost stopped his breathing when he looked up at her way. His eyes were full of her face that beamed under the bright light more alluring. The thought of having her as his woman made him proud. When Ayra who shyly tilted her head up to see the crowd, her blue eyes met him. As their eyes met, Cedric suddenly winked at her.
She quickly hang her head down and cursed underneath her breath. Her cheeks turned hot immediately and she had to comfort herself telling that there were many people around.
Esme and Athena quickly joined on her side and guided her towards the center of hallway. When everyone was gathered around, Ethan called Cedric who was admiring his woman from far apart.
As he came to them, Ethan asked him to stand beside Ayra and he gave a brief announcement towards the crowd. His words were full of Cedric's identity and seeked blessings for them. The crowd clapped joyously and whispered among each others.
After the formal introduction, Ethan asked them to exchange the rings. Cedric's face was full of happiness as his eyes searched in a hope of finding Seth in the party but he was nowhere to be seen. A mockery of chuckle quickly left from his mouth when he thought that Seth might be recovering in his bed. Even Ayra's eyes nervously swam around hoping that Seth didn't come. She didn't wish to get married in front of Seth.
Soon the maids delivered two rings for each one of them. Cedric picked up the ring first and slipped inside her finger before squeezing her soft finger on purpose. Ayra shivered at his sensual touch and quickly sneaked her eyes around hoping that no one had seen their malicious act. Fortunately, everyone didn't pay much attention and asked her turn.
Giving him a cold glare, she reached for his ring and reluctantly slipped in his finger. Her face seemed like she was going for a war. As the ring changing was done, the crowd clapped thunderously and started to greet the new couple.
Soon background music had started to play and Arthur annoucing to the crowd that it was time for a couple dance. According to rules, Cedric and Ayra should be the one to take the lead but Ayra denied before asking.
She inteneded to leave and turned around already. The light went off for a while in order to turn on the dim lights for dance floor. Amidst the darkeness, she was pulled backward harshly and felt a tight grip on her waist. When she struggled to break free, Cedric's demanding voice came beside her ears,
" With whom you don't wish to dance, love if it
isn't me?"
Ayra froze for a while before replying back stubbornly,
" No matter whom I wish, it has nothing to do. You forced me to marry you, Cedric Arnaldo Dixon. Don't think that I have forgotten everything."
Cedric replied innocently in her ears,
" When did I say that you have forgotten everything? I haven't even started pampering you. I don't expect you to forgive me at all but It doesn't also mean that I won't force you to dance with me."
Ayra quivered in anger and growled lowly,
" Cedric...don't you..aah.."
She screamed lowly when he pinched on her waist and caused her to jump in shock. Cedric dropped his face down beside her ears and whispered lowly,
" Either you dance with me or else I will use my own way to make you dance. I promise that you won't like the way at all. Hmm,be good,okay?"
