Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 372 - Protect Our Mate

Dora's voice rang out from indoor harshly. Having no idea about who was actually standing on the doorway, she used her harsh voice to speak to Elizabeth,

" Elizabeth!! Are you planning to stand over there for eternity? Didn't I ask you to prepare the food before 11? I have a tea party in the afternoon. Why the hell are you taking so long?"

Both Elizabeth and Alexander jerked before realization hit their sense. Upon hearing such rude voice from Dora, Alexander's eyes dimmed a little. It turned out like this woman never stopped treating Elizabeth poorly even though they had sent warning.

Elizabeth glanced up at Alexander uneasily. She didn't want her family matters to overheard by anyone but Alexander was too cunning to observe everything. Without uttering any more words, Alexander entered inside brushing off Elizabeth gently and headed directly inside without any prior warning.

Dora was going to shout again at Elizabeth but Elisa suddenly looked up at the way. She hurriedly stood up from the couch and bowed at Alexander suturing with a bashful smile,

" Prin.. Prince.. Alexander.."

Dora who still didn't notice Alexander's presence was startled by her daughter's words. Pushing the nailpolish away, she stood up embarrassingly and greeted Alexander in a trembling voice,

" Prince.. Prince... Alexander.. What a surprise! "

Elizabeth followed Alexander inside with a confused expression. Alexander didn't reveal anything that why did he had to come in her house. She was worried that her words might have offended his pride last time.

After all, who was she to scold a high profiled heir like him? No one! 

But Elizabeth didn't know that perhaps in the entire world, only she had the right to scold Alexander however she wished after his mother. Some rights can't be given by words. Either you earn it or the other person give it to you subconsciously. When we try to find the exact reason, we find nothing. Perhaps that's how stupid feelings are! 

Dora was invisibly bathing in cold sweat. She started wandering about how much Alexander overhearded of her cold voice.

Shooting her daughter, Elisa a sharp look who failed to warn her in advance, she spoke sweetly to Alexander,

" This child! I have asked Elisa to call you brother many times but she is too shy around you, Crown Prince. I mean, she thinks that it's not polite to call a prince 'brother' so casually."

Dora spoke after shooting a provoking glare to Elizabeth. Undoubtedly she was hinting at the way Elizabeth addressed the twin princes. Alexander shurgged off his shoulders and retorted wisely,

" That's totally fine with me, Mrs. Castillo. Even I don't allow everyone to call me, brother. After all, not everyone is very close to me."

Dora's fake smile dropped a little. She tried to cover up the embarrassement with another fake smile. Alexander simply represented Elizabeth as his closest person whilst Elisa as an outsider.

To skip the subject, Dora skipped to another question with a smile,

" Aah! May I know why the crown prince has given his valuable presence in our little house suddenly?"

Alexander replied taking a glimpse of Elisa's sheepish smile,

" I come here to inform you that Ayra has asked Elizabeth to pay a visit in Basarisk with me. She needs me for some confidential matters. But she is expecting Elizabeth's arrival too. I hope, you don't have any problem with that, Mrs.Castilo?"

Dora was surprised by Ayra's request. Though she badly wanted to keep Elizabeth away from Alexander, refusing him right now would make the situation worse. Dora gave an awkward smile and reasoned appearing extremely concerned,

" Of course, why would I have any problem with that? But crown prince, Basarisk is completely a new world for Elizabeth. She might get lost or feel bored without her family around. I was suggesting that how about Elisa accompany her? Obviously if you don't have any issue with that."

Alexander shot Dora cold look. He maintained a calm posture perfectly and replied with a knowing smile,

" I am sorry, Mrs. Castillo but my sister has only asked for Elizabeth. Basarisk is her in-laws house. I don't find it polite to bring anymore guest with me without her consent. Besides, aunty Siemus, Ayra and me will be there with Elizabeth. Why would she feel lonely?"

The earlier glim of happiness dissapared from Dora's face. She hung her head a little and replied through her gritted teeth,

" I..I understand, Crown Prince. I was merely concerned about Elizabeth.."

Alexander annouced paying no attention on Elizabeth's face who was struggling to find whether to agree or not,

" It's settled then. Elizabeth is going to Basarisk with me."

**** BASARISK ****

The drive was wild more than Ayra expected. Crossing the busy villages and living lands, Cedric led their horse towards the farthest land from Basarisk's villages.

Amazed by the sudden weather differenciation in this place, Ayra started wandering her eyes around the hazy forest that they were passing by. Even the haze was so deep and thick that she couldn't look on the other side of that particular forest.

As her lips parted open to speak to Cedric, an arrow suddenly flew past by her ear. Startled by the sudden attack, she only got a moment to warn Cedric before another arrow past by her,

" STOP THE HORSE! "

Cedric was mentally unprepared by the situation. He commanded his horse hastily but another arrow was shot aiming at his back directly. Ayra stopped the running arrow with her grip swiftly.

Her vampire instinct growled from inside,

" Protect our mate."

Without saying any single word to Cedric, she pushed both of them down from the horse. They both fell on the ground together. Only then Cedric noticed that a few bunches of arrows were making its way to them.

He growled attempting to get up but Ayra moved fast this time. She stood up using her vampiric motion and moved towards the arrow muttering something under her breath lowly.

After taking two steps, she sniffed her nose and spoke to Cedric loudly,

" Your highness! That.. that smell.."
