Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 424 - An Intruder

Cedric had accompanied Ayra until she was in deep slumber sleep, he made sure that she was comfortable position over the bed before making his way out of their living room. After the sadistic incident with his elder sister, his mood was a lot better after realizing that how closer they got today. He observed each and every of her reactions. A few more push, then he would be ruling her heart entirely.

How wonderful it would be to rule the person's heart that you have yearned insanely?

Such wonderful imaginations were enough to lift up his mood. Changing into a loose robe, he continued his journey downstairs straight for the dungeon. He still had to know who were those people so eager to dig their graves.

As he arrived at the entrance of dungeon, Silas's assistant, Salmon had walked out of the dungeon first. Meeting their guest king at such late hour, Salmon bowed at him awkwardly,

" Your Majesty! What brings you here so lately?"

Cedric noticed how he looked uncomfortable at his presence as if he was hiding something here. Cedric wasn't in mood of paying attention in others business. He replied looking around the guards casually,

" I wasn't in mood of sleeping tonight. Where are those rogues that attacked my sister? I want to visit them now."

Salmon was bathed in cold sweat eternally. When he thought that all the evidences had been cleared for tonight, the king had to appear at this exact moment. Salmon smiled faintly before suggesting,

" Well..they had been put in different cells, my Lord. How about you meet them tomorrow? We have entrusted more guards to secure the place. There is no chance of flying away from our captive. I can ensure you that."

Cedric chuckled lightly. This assistant of Silas surely knew how to divert people's attention from the exact thing but unfortunately he chose the wrong person. Cedric didn't comment on his words. Instead his eyes meaningfully landed on Salmon before emphasizing his words lazily,

" I said that I want to visit those rogues now, Mr."

Salmon immediately stopped rumbling anymore. He knew when to put an end and not push anymore further. Moving away from his path generously, Salmon led him the way of inside dungeon,

" Ye.. Yes.. Your Highness! Please..this way.."

Cedric smirked before following his lead inside. Cedric specifically asked him to let him meet Ford first but Salmon dwelled with the time on purpose. Later he hurried with the process when Cedric roared at him angrily.

Salmon had no choice but to let Cedric see the man named Ford who was lying on the dirty floor without conscious. Cedric's observant eyes followed the man's neck that had a large bite mark of canniens. Cedric questioned Salmon who seemed like breathing barely in nervousness,

" What happened with him?"

Salmon forced a smile on his face. Rubbing his palms together nervously, he replied suturingly,

" He..he..he was mistakingly bitten..by our wolves..He should be okay.. by tomorrow morning.."

Cedric hummed before pulling his eyes back on that huge bite mark. After examining the wound for a while, Cedric chuckled standing up from the ground.

He asked walking away from the unconscious Ford,

" It seems like someone had already fun with him before I could join. Where is your Duke? I am so bored and thought of having some chitchat with him."

Salmon replied struggling to keep an unaffected face persistently,

" He..he is fast asleep today and has ordered to not disturb him at any cost."

Cedric nodded with a smile. With another playful chuckle, he replied crossing his arms behind his back lazily,

" Surely! It isn't convenient to wander under this moonlight today for your Duke. What do you say?"

***

When Cedric was busy in the dungeon, a strange thing began to happen in Ayra's room. As night dropped and every staff had naturally gone for their bed, a figure appeared on Ayra's doorway from nowhere.

Her door was opened with caution as if the person was careful about her not waking up from her peaceful sleeping. His torch like eyes fell on her naked back as she kept sleeping on her stomach. Her body was pressed over a side pillow as she hugged it tenderly as her sole interest.

Cedric put few more woods inside the fireplace before taking his leave. The room was much brighter now and her appealing bare back was evident in his burning eyes. Thanks to Cedric's consideration, he tugged the blanket over her body to make sure that she felt warm in her sleeping. So only her bare back was shown and the rest part of her body was covered with blanket. Still her appearance was little tempting and the person quickly walked inside naturally.

Ayra was in deep sleep thus she had no knowledge of the intruder that had barged inside her room and possibly into her life. Tiptoeing over her bed side, that undefined person reached out his arms to touch her bare back but some distant thoughts stopped in midway. Somewhere in memory, Cedric's determined words kept ringing like a warning bell,

' she is mine! MINE ONLY ! '

The person dismissed his intention and gently sat by her side. His eyes followed her wrist that had mark and darkened slightly. Putting out his own hand that had another mark, he placed his wrist right beside her mark. All of sudden, both of their marks were moving together in same direction.

A smile of satisfaction had come across his sinful lips. Without saying much more, he breathed out one single word,

" Together!"
