Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 399 - Frenchies Being A Poor Soul

Coming Back To Dixon Palace,

The night was quite outside except the light tune of drizzle that had started pouring down a while ago. Cedric was still awake, sat beside the bonfire and was flipping through the documents in his hand. Habit was indeed a terrible thing. He tried to catch some sleep fast but whenever he laid down on the bed, he felt an emptiness around him. Only for a few days that she came here yet changed his habit so terribly.

Now the situation was so bad that he couldn't even think of going back to bring her here. She was staying in Elizabeth's room. Cedric was afraid that she would be angry on him if he went to bring her back here. Unable to fall asleep, he had only one way to distract his emotions which was working.

An exhausted sigh came through his lips as his eyes averted back on the empty bed. Though she didn't let him touch her during her sleeping time, he was contented enough to share the same bed with her.

Cedric closed the document in his hand, readied himself to go out and fetch some drink but his door was knocked from outside midway of his action. Wondering who could be appeared at this hour, he permitted in a loud voice since the door was left open clumsily.

Pushing open the doorway, Siemus entered in with a poker face. Running her eyes across the room, she didn't find Ayra anywhere that felt strange. Cedric asked turning his thighs around to face her curiously,

" Aunty..you are here at this late night? Is everything okay?"

Cedric was generous enough to show respect to his elders. Noticing the puzzle look on her face, he scared that something bad had happened but in reality, she had to come at this late because of Frenchies's nagging consistently. That black cat couldn't even let her sleep since Cedric promised to return his human form only by Siemus's approval.

Siemus bowed her head courteously with a small smile. Keeping her head low in submission, she spoke hesitately,

" Your Highness! Ah! Pardon me for disturbing you at this hour but the matter was important. Actually..I.. mean..Can you allow Frenchies to go back in his human form?"

Her demand only caused him to raise his eyebrows playfully. No wonder, Siemus had barged inside his room at this night.

Cedric chuckled parting his lips to agree quickly but he noticed the shadow of his pet cat behind the doorway. His eyes flickered in mischievous thoughts instantly.

Cedric replied trying to play with Siemus's words,

" Why did you have to come so late at night, Aunty? Are you concerned about him?"

As expected, Frenchies sharpened his ears at his questions, blindly hoping to hear some sweet concerned words from Siemus eagerly. But Siemus only widened her eyes before letting out an arrogant scoff carelessly.

She waved her hands eagerly and corrected herself,

" Hell no, Milord. He was just pissing me off daily. He wanted to get back his human form desperately. I came to seek for your help to erase this headache of mine."

Frenchies who heard her reasons felt a flip inside his heart. She sounded like she didn't care a bit whether he lived or died. Frenchies felt a discomfort deep inside his heart upon her words. Maintaining a poker face on his cat expression, he kept peering into the room.

Her words only filed Cedric's heart in amusement. He could literally imagine how dissapointed his pet cat was right at that moment.

Cedric's eyes moved on the shadow that could be seen through the tiny space under the door. Without saying in advance, He simply uttered with a cooky grin,

" All right! I can't dissapoint my dear Aunty. Let Frenchies get back his human shift."

Not even a second passed, the door was thud opened suddenly. Frenchies who was sticking his ears against the doorway didn't expect to return his human shift so fast. Thus the change of transformation caused him to loose his balance and his weight failed maintain his position against the doorway.

Siemus turned around to find Frenchies in his human shift and growled annoyingly,

" You are so fast. When did you come here?"

Frenchies shifted his eyes on his master to see him smirking cunningly. He did it on purpose to expose that he was actually evasdropping on their conversation. Frenchies scoffed patting on his arms lazily,

" I was only ensuring that you were going to ask his highness for real."

Siemus shrugged her shoulders off and replied taking her way to leave,

" Since you have gotten back your human shape, I have nothing to do here anymore. I should get some sleep now. Allow me to leave, Your 

Highness! "

Siemus spoke before taking her leave. Once she had gone outside, Cedric teased noticing the dissapointed on Frenchies's eyes,

" Tsk.. shouldn't you be grateful towards me for giving you back your human form, little pet? Or something is bothering you again? What a shame! I thought that I have done a biggest favor for you."

Cedric spoke with a malicious grin and got up to walk beside his bed. Frenchies who was ruthlessly teased by his master even after getting neglected by Siemus howled in anger and anguish. He decided to keep the matter down inside his heart but it seemed like his master asked for it.

Letting out a scoff, Frenchies replied pulling his lips into a sarcastic smirk,

" Your Highness! Instead of pulling legs of a poor soul like me, why don't you try to figure out what happened with Lady Ayra? I am sure that you have an interesting story to know."

Frenchies didn't wait over there after arousing Cedric's curiousity. Turning around, he left the room hurriedly.

Cedric turned back swiftly only to find out that his pet had flew away. But what did he mean by his words earlier? Did something happen without his knowledge so that Ayra didn't wish to stay with him tonight?
