515 The Queen Of His Heart
Frenchies whipped his head back to find Jessie stepping inside gracefully. Her eyes held confusion as she glanced between Frenchies and her brother. She travelled around the castle often at night and happened to find them chatting at this late hour. Morever, she didn't know when did Cedric return to the palace today.
Frenchies muttered some profanity lowly and secretly sighed in relief. At first thought, he expected that it was Ayra who talked from behind. Jessie urged for her answer as she saw them falling silence after she came,
" Why don't you guys talk? What were you discussing about?"
Cedric shut his eyes briefly to reopen them again. It was a mistake to have discussion in this palace as it had ears all over the space. To divert her attention from their topic, Cedric tilted his head back to glance at Frenchies meaningfully. Frenchies, the loyal servant immediately caught the meaning of his stare. He brought another topic to distract her from their discussion,
" Pardon, Princess but there is something more important to notify you."
His plan succeeded and Jessie immediately glared at Frenchies in confusion,
" What is it again? I didn't even go out today."
She could detect the seriousness behind Frenchies's words. She meant to tell that she didn't indulge into any fight today. Besides, Isabella's absence in palace was making her upset day by day.
Frenchies explained calmly, keeping his head low in submission,
" Davina sent a letter to our palace, claiming that you have to go through a trial since you hit their Royal Guards. In other words, the acting King, Shanz wants to hear explaination from you."
" What!!! ", Jessie blurted out angrily, unable to believe that Shanz had actually dared to send warning in her palace. The criminals who does severe crime naturally go through trial session. But the case is related to Royal Members, they try to solve it through negotiation first. Here, Shanz had already sent her warning as if she was their criminal.
Cedric quirked his lips knowingly. At first, they sneaked around but now, he invited in his palace openly. Shanz was smart with his moves on woman. Cedric shook his head helplessly. He didn't know when the game of their hatred would come to an end. Honestly, he didn't want Jessie to do anything with Shanz but who could stop heart from loving someone?
No one! Even the person herself!
Jessie growled out furiously, casting a nervous glance at Cedric who seemed unaffected by the news,
" How dare he!! Of course, I will go but to teach him lesson. It will be his biggest mistake of life to send me warning. Just you see, Cedric!"
She stomped on the floor, turned out to walk off but paused midway, thinking of the conversation that she heard mistakingly. It was understandable that they didn't want to know her anything. After a tiresome exhale leaving from her mouth, Jessie murmured without turning back,
" Cedric, you just got a little happiness in your life. Don't loose it for your selfish motives. Just saying as your sister."
Frenchies dropped his jaw after she added the last words hesitantly. For the first time, she reffered herself as Cedric's sister and talked like Isabella. It was surreal to him. He turned around to see Cedric staring at her retreating figure emotionally.
Did she finally start considering him as her brother after years?
Cedric chuckled nervously as she left through the entrance. It was clear that he was overwhelmed by her concern. At least, she didn't pray for his death like others. He muttered looking up at Frenchies,
" Love is so fucking complicated, Frenchies. You know why she wants to go in Davina? It's because she still loves him and can't miss the chance of meeting him. Pity!"
Frenchies smiled back widely until a blurry image flashed back into his memories. He jerked his head off to clear his thoughts.
Why the hell he imagined Siemus all of sudden?
He swallowed thickly to stop his complicated thoughts. Pushing the thoughts back of his mind, he asked Cedric nervously,
" Did you receive any response from him, my king? What does he want now? He is already out of the coffin."
Cedric twisted his lips mysteriously. Turning back to watch the sky, he muttered curling his lips together,
" Was there ever an end to stop his demands?He just wants to erase his threats."
Frenchies nodded his head with understanding. He could guess what would he want this time. He asked again, staring at his back curiously,
" What if he wants Lady Ayra?"
Cedric roared without holding back his anger,
" Don't you fucking say that, Frenchies! She is mine. Every breathe she takes is mine. Her body, her heart and now her soul all belongs to me. This can't be changed and she deserves here right on my side. She doesn't need to be the queen of some fucking demons. She is already the queen of my heart."
Frenchies was a little taken back by his words. Even the air turned stiff by his possessive aura that ignited with his words. He shook his head helplessly, retorting back truthfully,
" This ain't love, My King. You are just obsessed to have her by your side. You can't trick her always to stuck you by your side."
Cedric hissed annoying over his pet's words. He rebuked with an arrogant scoff,
" There is no love without obsession. Even if she hates me, she has to stay by my side. I can't let her go..I just.. can't..."
His words were stuck in middle after he imagined a day without her. Her presence gave him peace that he never found in this place before. Just as Frenchies parted his lips to say something, a night owl flew from nowhere, landing just beside Cedric. It brought a letter in his legs.
Cedric grabbed the letter from it, knowing that who could be the sender behind this. Few lines were written in blood on the page.
" I MISSED YOU SO MUCH! LET'S MEET IN OUR FAVORITE PLACE!"
