Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 405 - Worried About You!

Ayra casted frequent glances on Cedric who was going outside to instruct his guards. The entire Dixon Palace was shook by the News that they received from Richalwolf Land. Isabella had lost her child and had fought a battle between survival and death.

Ayra was equally hurt. She was looking forward to welcome the baby in their palace but who knew that her plan would be failed? 

Ever since Cedric received the news, he was oddly silence. This made hard for Ayra to see through his emotions. His gaze was vacant as if nothing there to see or read through it. She was literally scared of him. The man who believed in violence had become suddenly mute which wasn't a good sign. People say that weather becomes calm before storm comes.

Cedric's calm voice brought her back to reality. Standing beside him, she heard him instructing his group of guards,

" Find everyone who are behind this attack! I want to know each one of them."

Ayra observed his calm countenance. After trying several times, she just couldn't get his emotions that were running inside. Cedric without saying anymore word made his way for the exit angrily. His steps were dominant as he swayed his long coat against the air and paced forward.

Mustering up her courage, Ayra finally called him from back, making him halt in his track midway,

" Cedric! "

Cedric stopped in his way numbly. Snapping his head back, he casted Ayra a blank glare. Ayra sucked a deep breath, walked over to stop in front of him and spoke looking into his emotionless eyes,

" Are you.. okay?"

This was the first time that she expressed her concern, emotions towards him openly. Hearing such question from her, Cedric had still no change of expression on his face. When people get hurt, they become too unresponsive to express his feeling.

Cedric swallowed hard and tilted his head on the other side. The darkness of night didn't help much to hide his face. Ayra could see his adam apple bobbing up to down as if he was forcing himself from something inside.

Cedric's response came out as whisper as he changed the topic,

" Let's go. We have to reach before morning."

He was unwilling to give her any response. He feared that if he shared his weakness with her, she might find him vulnerable just like his father called him always in the past.

Watching him attempting to leave, Ayra couldn't stop herself anymore. Dismissing all the negative thoughts from her mind, she blurted out worryingly,

" I'm worried about you. You..are you really okay?"

This time, Cedric turned around completely with a surprised look on his face. Her eyes kept staring at him stubbornly as if she wouldn't let go of this matter until he told her the truth.

A change occurred in his gaze amidst the darkeness. His eyes that were purely the definition of demon had suddenly became a pool of waters. Out of Ayra's expectation, a teardrop slipped from his left eye. His voice came out as vulnerable as a broken piece of glass,

" I am not, Princess."

*********

Vallodisan Castle, Richalwolf Land

Silas stepped out of his room after spending a while. Since Isabella's condition was quite stable now after his blood was invaded into her body, she was sleeping soundly.

Coming out of the room, Silas spotted his parents whose expression were plastered with worries. King Draco came forward to ask his son,

" How is she doing?"

Silas responsed with a deep sigh,

" Better then before. She will come back to sense by tomorrow morning, father. Have you informed the king?"

King Draco nodded hanging his head in worry,

" Yes, I did. They must be on their way to Richalwolf Land. Silas, what will I say to them? I am so embarrassed about the entire situation."

Silas coaxed his father by tapping on his shoulder lightly,

" Father, it wasn't our fault. Even it was fortunate of her that I found her before getting killed by those monsters."

His mother agreed coming forward to comfort King Draco,

" Silas is right, husband. They will consider it as blessing. Please don't stress yourself, anymore."

Silas's personal guard entered into the scene. After bowing at the king and queen, he informed Silas respectively,

" Your Highness! Those rogues have been taken inside our castle. Where should we put them now? Others who were hurt at that spot have been taken in our care already."

Silas darkened his eyes at the mention of those rogues. He couldn't wait to chop them all. He gave his order, making his way out,

" Put them all in dungeon. I am coming in a minute."

King Draco narrowed his gaze at his son. Stopping him midway, he suggested after giving it a deep thought,

" Wait, Son! You can't punish someone for the sake of Princess Isabella. Wait for King Cedric's arrival. Above all, he is her brother. Her family should take responsibility of punishing those culprits, not you."

King Draco was worried about stirring any rumours. Since Silas was the next heir for the throne, he wanted his image neat and clean.

Silas growled at his father saying,

" There is no rules in punishing someone who has killed an innocent child and push the woman into a dead end. Can you believe that they had done something so malicious that Princess Isabella has lost the ability of boring anymore child? I don't care about anyone's arrival, father. All I want to punish them together in my own heart content."

Silas gave his words and began to step for the other way. His father once again attempted to stop him from back,

" Silas! Wait! You aren't her family member. Don't do something that can stir rumours about you."

Silas paused midway abruptly and replied whipping his head back,

" Right now, I am her family member. Since I have saved her life, she belongs to me now."

Then Silas left leaving his father and mother with a look of bewilderment.. So far, they had never seen him caring for someone so much.
