Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 471 - The Missing Tiara

Isabella's question shocked Silas who had pulled his eyes up to stare at Isabella's face disbelievingly. As long as he remembered that he erased memories of their kissing from her memory but her look told something else. Isabella kept her eyes sharp on him, waited for his answer silently. Unfortunately Silas forgot that she wasn't any average dragon offspring who was easy to deal with his simple magic. Though Isabella had her doubt, she still had her vague memories from the rooftop. She asked Silas twice but everytime he refused and gave her another kiss. Thus she had no choice but to use this game to hear his truth.

Lara and the other kids didn't know what was going on between the elders. On the contrary, Lara kept shifting her eyes back to forth between Silas and Isabella. She could feel that the atmosphere had suddenly became heavy.

Silas opened and closed his mouth hesitantly. His lying could be caught this time easily since he was already shivering in nervousness.After spending some times in this tense atmosphere, Silas pulled his eyes up to meet her obvious eyes. His lips slightly curled up into a smirk and he told surprising her thoughts,

" Yes, I did."

The time he admitted, Isabella was startled in her place. She wasn't dreaming about their kiss then. Indeed he had kissed her. As long as she heard from the maids, Silas never took any maids on his bed. So it had the only meaning that it was her who was kissed by him. Shock wrapped her expression as she struggled to understand everything.

Silas smirked pulling his eyes backs to the kids who were stubbornly waiting to play even though they were sleepy. Silas pushed Lara softly,

" Lara, take everyone inside and go to bed."

Lara looked beside her fellow members. Having no choice but to leave,she helped them to go inside and left them behind on the courtyard. Silas shifted his attention back on Isabella who was still frowning upon the matter. He spoke taking a step forward and closed the distant gap between them,

" Aren't you happy with my answer, Princess?"

Isabella bit her lips together shyly. It was awkward for her to ask him why did he kiss her initiatively. She stammered looking down at the ground,

" No, That's not..I mean.. It's just..Did you really.."

Silas took another step forward on her way. His lips pouted into a smile as he leant forward onto her face to ask her slowly,

" Why don't you find on yourself again? Let's refresh your memory."

As soon as those words came from his lips, Silas pulled her closer. He pressed his lips on her before gliding his tongue inside to initiate a real kiss this time. Isabella didn't understand what he meant until his cold lips captured her.

Her mind drifted back to those vague flash of memories in where she saw that Silas was kissing her surprisingly. But the feelings and taste were similar like those memories. By the time, she had come to her sense and raised her arms to push him away, Silas suddenly backed away when he noticed a figure rushing out from his orphanage.

Leora, the nanny of this orphanage had appeared in front of them with a dark face. Her face was in pure horror, clearly stated that she had bad news for them. Leora was inside, taking care of those infant babies who were brought by Silas not long ago. Hence she didn't know anything about Isabella and only gave her a questioning look.

Silas spoke first from his curiousity,

" What's wrong, Leora?"

Leora fought back with her tears. She loved all the babies like her own and it was hard for her to loose a single one. Leora informed panicking anxiously,

" Baby Tiara..She isn't in her crib, Your Highness! She was here few minutes ago. I am scared that her father stole her away again."

Silas had a murderous look on his expression. His eyes quickly scanned around, nostrils flared up to inhale a familiar presence nearby. His neck rolled around awkwardly, earned a deep frown from Isabella who found his actions odd yet terrifying. She heard from others that in the past, monster like werewolf humans used to spin their heads before transforming but lucky, they had no werewolf existed in their world. Perhaps it was one of Silas's action before grooming those enemies who came to harm his little babies.

Silas spoke to Isabella in a bit different tone,

" Can you look after those babies until I come back?"

Isabella nodded and silently vowed that she would protect them with all her strength. She couldn't save the unborn baby but saving this innocent child was in her hands. She questioned watching him to go,

" But where are you going? To call the guards?"

Silas chuckled lightly before turning around. One side of his lips lifted upward before answering,

" The festival needs a blood feast, Princess and I can't wait to offer them a fresh, new package of blood. Please stay with the children."

Isabella looked like she had to say something but Silas had already gone through the exit with his big, large strides. His temperature was really frightening and she believed that the man had zero chance of living if he is being caught by Silas today.

Isabella looked back at Leora whose face was full of sorrow. She asked from her curiosity,

" Who is Tiara's father? Why did he steal his own child? I mean, isn't he allowed to meet her?"

Leora shook her head, denying. She returned Isabella a horrified look, whispering truthfully,

" You don't know anything about Duke Silas. People call him mad Duke for reasons. Tiara's father was none other than but his girlfriend's husband. He killed his girlfriend with his bare hands."
