His Witch Queen - Chapter 93

“Yes, she is. They have been bethroated since they were young. It was her father who begged and suggested the King choose his daughter as the bride of Prince Alex. King Almen didn’t persist since he felt that Sharon was any better than any other princess. She has grown up here and can be a good wife too..”

“I understand…”

Alice mumbled under her breath with the shame taking place all over. It made her heart junk too hard to her chest. No, it wasn’t the fact why she was looking forward too. In fact, in her eyes, she never considered Lady Sharon anyone even related with Cyrus but to his young brother…

‘So bad of you Alice, you even made an assumption before even realizing….’ and she can’t help but remember how defensively Lady Sharon had acted earlier. It was still the question that lingered in her mind, but Cyrus burst it too.

“Whatever she said earlier today, that was all just a tease for you. She wanted to test you, so don’t take her word to your heart.” He answered honestly, without moving his eyes from her taken aback expressions.

Neither did Alice deny or utter anytime soon. She was all silent, in the hope of not letting herself be covered by him. Lowering her head, she simply gave him a small nod.

When Cyrus saw that they were done talking, he swiftly walked to the other side there where he had parked his horse. Moving towards the horse, caressing its back, and then soft fur.

While his eyes were early focussed on the horse, the same can’t be said for the Princess. She had still kept herself focused on his back, where the beads of the confusion were blooming in her heart.

Unbelievably, she was still having questions, but she wasn’t pleased to ask them, at least for now since they don’t have such a deep bond either toward each other…

“Prince Cyrus, you know, you are really dark inside.” Alice can’t help but mumble from behind his back, to which Cyrus didn’t move either to see her. All he did was to answer, “Indeed, I’m.”

“More than devil..you are hiding a lot in yourself.” Princess’s words seemed to make a chuckle pass out from the Prince’s lips. A glow had spread all over himself, where his eyes turned into a crystal moon.

Turning around, he rested his head in her direction where she came across the same smiling face, making her heart skip a beat again. “You aren’t wrong…and maybe, I’m worse than any devil.”

“Everyone has secrets and hurt feelings. But more than that, I’m someone whom everyone must despise. I’m not worthy of their friendship or sympathy. In this world, one has to be self-dependent and so am I’.”

His straightforward reply only made her press her lips together. Neither did she deny that whatever he was someone for whom she needed the answers but that didn’t hinder her process to conclude that he was still not the same Cyrus..

‘Something grave has happened to him. As if, he is looking forward to answers too and has many answers already within himself..’ she was curious, but then, her wits told her to stop herself.

At last, both of them had once again hopped on the horse, where Cyrus brought them back to the castle via the same route. They came across the town, the markets, and in the end the back of the castle again. There, she saw General Ryan was waiting for them.

He had helped them to get down, before taking the horse all together with him. Moreover, Prince Cyrus led her back into the castle via the back metal door, which he closed and hide with the help of the bushes again.

Despite seeing all the way to escape, Princess Alice didn’t speak. For now, her mind was overhauled with different emotions to even let this thought drive her crazy.

Once more, they had returned back to their chamber, before Princess Alice decided to get back into her soft mattress and take the blanket over her. She was tired, her eyes heavier which needed another nap.

Prince Cyrus didn’t objectify either, but he simply sat beside her on the bed. Yet there was no trace of sleep in his eye. He was intact, with his head against the board of the bed before he was lost in the trails of the past scenes that had displayed in his mind.

Subconsciously, he had closed his mind, to recall the last conversation which he had with General Ryan back in the celebration of tonight.

“Prince Cyrus, I think you should speak with the lady.” it was General Ryan’s words when he had touched the liquor glass near his lips. The cold breeze with the fire in the mid was ignited. No one except the few more soldiers was standing and enjoying their time for now.

But no one had the audacity to approach Prince Cyrus, who was only interested in talking with General Ryan, someone senior to all of them.

Meanwhile, Cyrus gazed into his eyes to find General Ryan’s serious as disturbed expressions. “Why do you think so?”

“Because you are in grave danger. She can be your ally maybe. Otherwise, you both can’t survive under one roof if you both constantly fight with each other.”

His words made something strike Cyrus’ mind, as he brought his hand near his lips to taste the liquor present in his glass. But his sly glint never left his face. “Princess Alice…she is a human, Ryan.”

“So is she your first wife and someone with whom you will need to spend your life.” Ryan was serious in his words, leaving no space for refinement from the young prince. “She is scared. Her current nature is all because she doesn’t trust anyone here yet. For now, she must be thinking who all must be actually looking forward to having the taste of her.”

“What rubbish idea!” Cyrus simply declined it in front of Ryan, but deep in his mind, he knew the fact lies in this.

She was a human. If he was wary of her, many will actually try to prey on her and use her against his own will. There were strings attached, by their connections which grew over time without him giving any attention to the same bond.

Lowering his head, Cyrus didn’t mumble any single word anymore. He was done with the others tampering over him and for God knows how long will he be able to bear the same. In the end, things will eventually evolve, and not having her by his side was the major disadvantage he can be at.

But when he was once again concentrating on his thoughts with eyes closed, Ryan spoke again, “Moreover, I know you guys can’t mate together but that doesn’t mean that there can’t be something else. We can let the priest or the other people read the books on the humans and vampires to find a way for you both.”

“Not needed. She will not be able to handle the powerful creature.” Without even going into detail, Ryan knew he meant by his child.

She was a human, and in the past, there have been several incidents where the human ladies have died, or the vampires ended up being dead next very date since the power of mating between the two different creatures was too intense for them to bear.

Mating…wasn’t any normal or ordinary thing. Sex can never be termed as mating since sex involves only two individuals coming together for their body, but mating has the several stages of heart, soul…whose power was unimaginable.

Moreover, he had neither the wish to die himself, nor letting his wife die for now.

When Ryan noted that Cyrus wasn’t answering to either thing, he can’t help but let out a sigh. Frustration was evident but more than that, he had to give another detail. “I told you that lineage will break. Maybe you can be the first one to find out how to be together with a human.”

“Princess Alice is strong. Her Body Might be human but we can always transform her into any other individual..the transformation will mean that she will lose her original form and convert into a vampire. and you both can live your life, Cyrus..”

Ryan’s words trailed into his ears but all of them weren’t very convincing either. Transforming Alice into a vampire was the last way he looked forward to. Why can’t she stay in the original form?

But the next words struck his mind hard, “Prince Cyrus, you will need to be careful too. With the ongoing war with the Fleke empire, I’m sure that..fighting is the last resort in between the Kingdom.”

“You mean to say that… ” Cyrus rotated his head against himself to find the Ryans’ concerned filled look, with his faithful eyes. “I will need to..”

“Everyone wants you as the ruler. I think it is the time for you to consider snatching the position from your father too.”
