Chapter 518 New Transformation
Following that night, it was darkening around the sky without dark clouds on surface, something that didn't happen in years. But the creatures living on Basarisk had no idea about the danger that might come tonight. They were too occupied with their daily activities and didn't glance on the sky over their heads.
Ayra had just chatted with the guard from entrance who was in charge of taking care of her pups which were sent away by Cedric few days. She wanted to ensure that they were raising safe out there. Just when she passed the staff quarter, laughter of those newly batch maids travelled into her ears. One of them scowled sarcastically,
"' Have you heard something? His highness is staying outdoor tonight."
Another maid joined curling her lips upward into a smirk to huff at the other girls arrogantly,
" Hmph! So what if Lady chased away the maids from palace? He is a king and can get anyone that he wishes out there. Who will stop him?"
The other maid sighed shaking her head helpless,
" It's just we are poor suffering here. We could have served him if he allowed it in the palace. But he seems to act too loyal to the Lady."
Ayra pressed her lips together tightly. Last time, she ran away like a coward but this time, she determined to show them her place in this palace. Ayra walked into the kitchen gracefully, her presence horrified the maids who quickly shut their mouths. They all seemed uncomfortable after spotting her, walking inside.
" My Lady! Do you need something?"
They bowed down at her courteously,
" My Lady! Do you need something?"
Her eyes travelled on their faces, finding them stiff in fear. Ayra inched closer, her words coming out squeezed as she was trying to conceal her rage inside,
" Who am I to you all? Answer me!!"
The older maid was pushed in front to give her answer. She tugged onto her lips nervously, lowering her head slowly,
" Of course..you..you are lady..our queen.."
Ayra hummed lowly, shooting glares at the rest of them who didn't dare to meet her eyes. Stressing on her words, she spoke to them, clarifying coldly,
" Then you should also know that disrespecting your king is equal to disrespect me. Next time, if I hear you all badmouthing about him, you all will be serving the wolves from next morning. Got it?
Did you hear what I said?"
They all startled together and nodded their heads understanding. It was their first time, hearing Ayra's loud and cold voice in the palace. She was really mad this time.
After giving them reminder, Ayra headed back into the palace, spotting Frenchies who was hurrying outside. She stopped him in his track abruptly,
" Frenchies, wait!"
Frenchies stopped in middle, hearing her voice coming from back. His expression turned sullen a little after looking into her questioning eyes. Keeping his tension aside, Frenchies pressed his lips into a tight smile, walking over to Ayra to bend down courteously,
" Yes..my lady..Did you call me?"
Ayra hummed twisting her lips before asking,
" Where did your king go? Won't he come in Palace tonight? I haven't seen him ever since he left this morning."
Frenchies felt himself stuck between this king and queen. He couldn't possibly lie by looking into her eyes. After taking a gulp, he sutured forcing himself into a smile,
" He..he seems busy..He..he went for East Carnival.."
Ayra narrowed her eyes at Frenchies more suspiciously. She heard about East Carnival from Jessie who loved to join this each year. She questioned stressing on her words knowingly,
" Why are you lying to me?"
Frenchies acted innocent on surface, shaking his head negatively to convince her,
" No, My Lady..why will I.."
" East Carnival is still one week away from today, Frenchies. I heard it from Sister Jessie.", her words cut him off in middle. Her curiosity sparked more after Frenchies didn't tell her the truth. She was mentally stressed about her own dimensional curse. Now that, he acted mysterious all of sudden, her heart couldn't feel ease at all.
Frenchies cursed something under his breath and tried to brush off the topic wisely,
" I mean...I have no idea, my lady..May be...he will come back later on at night...I am running late..I should go back now.."
Frenchies didn't stay another minute in front of her. He turned and ran away for the door since he could detect that Ayra was suspecting something deep down. He was scared to get caught by her red-handed.
Ayra could only stay at her place since Frenchies had ran away, refusing to give her any clear explanation. The maids words lingered inside her mind. Although she trusted him now, her heart didn't feel ease after Frenchies ran away like a cat. She was getting more suspicious behind his actions.
Afterwards, she returned to her own room and found it rather suffocating without Cedric. He didn't ever vanish just like that. Ayra contemplated inside her mind for a long time until she decided something and went over the cabinet to bring out a long coat.
Meanwhile, Frenchies returned to the mansion that Cedric was living for tonight, accompanied by a beautiful woman right behind him. The woman looked not less than 20. She was particularly good looking especially in figure. Her eyes were shining in excitement to think that she would meet the king now.
" How long will it take to arrive, Master Frenchies?", the woman asked lowly, her eyes looking everywhere in deep curiousity.
" We are here. Remember to not make any noise!", Frenchies warned her carefully to see her blushing like a newly wed. He rolled his eyes secretly before holding the door knob to creak open the door carefully.
As soon as the door was pushed, an animalistic groan echoed inside the mansion, startling the woman behind. She shrieked in fear to gulp hardly. Frenchies didn't seem surprised to hear such gutteral growls as if he was used to it.
After closing the door behind, he walked ahead, gesturing at the woman to follow him closely. The woman pinched onto her palm in fear. Suddenly, she regretted to pay her father's debt although she was more eager to serve the king.
What if she gets pregnant? She can become the queen without any struggle!
Her greediness pushed her here and she was more than willing to pay the debts. The more they went closer, the sound of chain buckling became clear and evident. Frenchies ordered the young girl lowly,
" You wait here for my command."
The girl nodded obediently and waited away from the room that Frenchies was walking inside. She found it strange sick the mansion was awfully dark without lights. Only one or two were hanging on the walls that barely brightened the space. She didn't dare to question much as after king, everyone respected Master Frenchies the most.
Chains buckled around Cedric's body who forced himself to stay under the chain on its own. His groans were getting louder as the dark powers were all breaking out from his veins slowly and controlled his body and mind.
Upon getting closer, Frenchies didn't dare to approach him anymore and stayed on the doorway to see the new transformation of his king. Although he was facing him from back, Frenchies could imagine the demonic face that he saw once.
Feeling his breath inside the room, Cedric turned around his massive body, covered in powerful buldging muscles. His features were looking giant than his usual form. His porcelain like skin didn't shine any longer instead they were drapped in dark frame. Morever, he was panting and gruffing like a pure animal. His pair of red eyes were burning like fire. It was all a hellish sight of him. If Frenchies wasn't used of his demonic sight, he would have fainted on that place literally.
Their eyes connected and Frenchies quickly got on his knees to show his utmost respect,
" My King!"
He had his biggest lesson taught few years back. Whenever you face the demon, you should go on your knees to let him feel superior. The demons carry strange mood swings. They try to find out each flaw inside you and then punish you with that for no apparent reason. Since, Frenchies knew this things, he talked less whenever he was in his form.
Cedric raised his head in pride and looked down at his buldging muscles. His voice sounded hoarse as he spoke to Frenchies grinning,
" I like this new form of mine, Frenchies. No emotions, no bonds. It feels too good. Who is serving me today?"
Frenchies breathed out heavily and notified without meeting his eyes,
" That....a girl around 20..But I have to remind you something, my king. Lady..she is looking for you..She must be worried.."
Cedric cut him off, looking down at his hands in satisfaction,
" Let her be... I don't have time for her emotions.. bring me the girl now...We have few hours only..I have to go as soon as possible.."
