Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 360 - Peaceful Kingdom



Cedric's smouldering eyes found Franchies who was swallowing down his fear and was bathing in cold sweat mentally. Cedric rested his eyes on him for more than few seconds and uttered with a malicious grin,

" It seems like Frenchies has a wish of staying as a cat for decades at least."

​​

His low threatening voice shuddered Frenchies who boldly stepped forward. Palms crossed together in a sign of respect, he reported bowing at Cedric longingly,

" Your Highness! It was ordered by Princess Isabella. She didn't wish to bother you two. So I just compelled.."

Cedric waved his hands dismissively. He had to yet to learn how this attack happened during the time of his absence. Paying his attention back to the ministers, Cedric turned on his serious mood. Swiping his eyes across the hallway, he spoke with a hint of authority in his voice,

" I have to know the entire story first. How did this attack happened during my absence? Who was in charge of protecting my family members?"

Frenchies stepped forward to report him about the entire situation. Leaning beside his ears, he whispered something in a low voice, detailed each and every action that was taken from their side.

Cedric's grip tightened after he heard from Frenchies that Isabella stepped forward to use her power to stop the Shifters from Davina. Isabella was his weakness. Knowing that Prince Shanz had his eyes all the time on Isabella's unborn child, Cedric was always very worried.

After Frenchies was done with his speaking, Cedric slammed his hand over the handle of his throne angrily. Eyes watched the ministers furiously, his dominant voice bounced against the highwalls,

" It's all happened because of you. I know very well that some of you works as the mole of Davina's kingdom. Either you mend your mistake or else I will take the action personally. If I take action on my own, you all will ends up with no good. Trust me."

Mr.Derrick was the most loyal person among the ministers. He held up his head high after Cedric's accusations because he knew that he had done nothing to betray Basarisk. Others ministers appeared a little uneasy since some of them buttered Prince Shanz to stay on Davina's good side. They kept their heads low and prayed that Cedric would divert the topic.

Mr.Derrick who solemnly wished the safety of Dixon Clan came forward to speak first,

" Your Highness! To avoid the potential threats from Davina, May I suggest you something?"

Cedric allowed knowing that he would never suggest something which could be threatened to Basarisk Kingdom. Cedric breathed out a single word while rubbing his head worryingly,

" Speak! "

Mr.Derrick spoke after giving a nod and stated in deep serious voice,

" Your highness! Understanding that we have conflicts with Davina and Balvina, I would suggest you that you make up a formal friendship with Richalwolf Land. They are known as the most peaceful kingdom of our world. I think, it may give some pressure to Davina's people who think that you have no one to help you out. Considering your in-laws side, we can't seek any help from them so easily since the matter is completely among our kingdoms."

Cedric fell in deep thoughts. Indeed Richalwolf Land had never had any conflict with Basarisk. He spoke to his ministers again,

" Show me the recent incidents that happened in Richalwolf Land. Bring them to me."

On the other side, Ayra was informed once she had stepped inside the palace that Siemus was hurt after the confrontation happened with Davina's shifters group. Without heading for her own room, she made her way straight to Siemus's living room.

Siemus was resting at that time when Ayra stepped in with a full of worried expression. She cried out sorrowfully when she saw Siemus's pale face. Walking over to sit beside Siemus, Ayra started speaking between her chokes,

" Aunty..how are you doing now? I am sorry. I shouldn't have taken you here. You are suffering for me."

Siemus smiled shaking her head denyingly and clasped her hands to assure in a soft voice,

" Hey sweetie. I joined them voluntarily. It's not your fault. Besides,I am recovering well. You see?"

Though Siemus was getting better, she still looked very pale. Ayra shook her head, refused to believe her words and replied with humour,

" No! You aren't that weak to lay in bed. I can sense that your body is weak."

Having second thought, Ayra informed further after wiping her tears off,

" I heard from the maid that you need healer to recuperate yourself. I am writing letter to brother Alex. His powers is superior than mother. Hopefully, he would agree to come and help you."

Siemus smiled at her weakly. Indeed she had a golden heart and worried for everyone who were very close to her. Ayra came out of her room after chatting a while and wanted to visit Isabella.

As she walked in front of Isabella's bedroom, a maid informed that she was still sleeping. Finding nothing to do for the time being, Ayra asked a maid to accompany her and thought of paying visits in other unknown places of Dixon Palace.

The maid was an young girl and was around eighteen years old. With her dark black curls and plump cheeks, she was quite adorable who had informed Ayra about many mysterious creatures of Basarisk. Ayra happened to know that Cedric could rule over anyone.

No wonder he said to her one day that DEMON RULES EVERYWHERE.( Author Note: This is the 1st Volume name of " Loved By A Demon King").

After reviewing all the quarters of Palace,Ayra was taken inside Cedric's library which had taken an entire place of hallway. She didn't like books very much but killing time in the library was the best option for her right now.

Her eyes fell on a shelf that was stationed at the end of row with a bold tag name " Dark Magics."

Her curiousity sparked like lit fire. When she inteneded to take one step towards the shelf, the maid blocked her path.

Ayra shot her a cold glare and heard her say a little frighteningly,

" Pardon, Your Highness but His highness doesn't allow to read anyone those books."

Ayra narrowed her gaze slightly at the maid. Though she appeared innocent, she could feel that she had used a little authorative voice on Ayra.

Ayra ignored her words thinking that she was still a child and headed for the other side. Electing a book of ancient creatures, she returned to sit on Cedric's chair which he used to seat on naturally.

When Ayra was about to sit down on that chair, the maid almost yelled out, startling Ayra who thought that something happened.

The maid blurted out impatiently,

" Your Highness doesn't like it when someone else uses his chair."

Ayra was speechless as she kept staring at the girl's blushing face slightly. She was so fascinated just by uttering Cedric's name.

It turned out that every maid had their eyes on Cedric!

Ayra paused abruptly, dropped the book over the desk and walked over to the maid without sitting down. Ayra stared at her face before asking s question in a gentle voice,

" Linda, who are you in this palace?"

Linda was a little afraid before replying through her nervousness,

" Ma.. Maid.."

Ayra hummed, crossed her arms together and asked again,

" Who am I in this palace?"

Only then Linda understood that Ayra was trying to show her status in front of her. Linda suddenly looked up at Ayra sharply. Her innocent face had suddenly turned dark in anger as she berated Ayra boldly,

" Your Highness! I believe that rules are applicable for anyone. I was trying to let you know the basic etiquette of this palace. After all, this isn't Dalastia or Vampire world that you can do everything on your own. Maybe I can be a mere maid of this palace but I can proudly say that I know much more rules about Dixon Palace than you. Not only that, I know a lot about his Highness more than you. I am serving him for years and can easily distinguish what he prefers or not. As his nominal wife, you should better start paying more attention on his preference."

Ayra was literally stunned after her long lecture. At one point, she had the feeling that Linda was the queen of this palace not her. Ayra laughed softly, amused by the guts of these maids who were trying to bully her from the first day.

Before Ayra could give her a reply, an amusing sarcastic voice came from their backs startling both of them,

" Wow! I never knew that my maids had so much nerves until today."
