Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 490 - The Trial --- Part 1

** 2nd Chapter**

The following morning came with a shivering cold weather. The sun wasn't so bright over Basarisk's sky and illuminated over the space lightly. Jessie had returned home safely after settling her debts with the chitahs.

In that morning, Cedric had prepared everything to go for Basarisk's trial since he couldn't delay the matter always. The board needed an explanation and he couldn't arise more of their suspensions after taking a long break.

He strode downstairs to wait for Ayra's arrival since she was coming with him for Balvina. Coming down, he saw Frenchies coming with a dull mood. He marched over Cedric and spoke after bowing at him courteously,

" Your Highness, Arcabous...He is refusing to eat anything."

Frenchies notified his master in a concerned voice. His eyes dropped to lay on the floor after his words. Cedric who had snapped his head at him to glare had mixed emotions running through his mind. As their master, he knew the reason of his hunger strike. Arcabous & Debisa both spent their childhood together and grew up as siblings. Both of them flew and spent their times together in each others company. Now that, Debisa was gone leaving him all behind, the dragon would definitely be sad.

Cedric took a while to find his answer. After exhaling a long sigh, he responded back coldly,

" If he doesn't want to eat, don't. We can do nothing for it."

Frenchies looked like he was going to say something but after second thought, he gave up his idea and proceeded with his own works, going out.

" Can't we take back, Debisa?", Ayra's voice came from his back after he had given his words to Frenchies.

Startled by the sudden voice, Cedric looked behind him to find Ayra already staring back at him. Lines of concern formed on her forehead evidently. She was feeling guilty for the loss of Debisa. That Dragon had left for her and never seem to return in this palace.

Cedric exhaled looking down. Looking up, he replied in a stern voice,

" Dragons don't take everyone's salvatory so easily, Princess. If they have any intentions of rebounding the bond, he would have come back already. There is nothing we can do if he has gone missing."

Ayra sighed with understanding after he made an explanation. But she was sorry for Arcabous who stopped eating and thought about asking Jessie later on. She didn't see her returning after last night.

Cedric took few steps on her way, used his thumb to push up her chin and asked looking into her sorry eyes,

" Why are you looking so sad? Is that because you are worried about the trial? Or are you afraid of those high masters?"

Ayra scowled at him innocently. Snapping her head around, she muttered awkwardly,

" No! I am worried about those high masters!"

A devilish laughter echoed inside the room. Cedric twisted his lips and couldn't rebuke on this fact since he didn't know that for how longer he would be able to keep his temper on control. His head tilted on the other side, eyes taking close note of her nervous feature as he hummed slowly,

" Mmm! Can't debate on that. Can we go for Balvina?"

Ayra nodded taking her eyes down and followed his footsteps outside.

***

Evening fell upon on Balvina's lands when Ayra and Cedric arrived at the place of Balvina. Robert with his entire family welcomed them at the entrance. Just by looking at their courteous behavior, Cedric figured out that Sienna and Angelica had been taught lesson by his uncle but he wondered how long they would be so obedient like this.

Angelica gave them an overwhelming smile while greeting Cedric and Ayra at the entrance,

" Welcome to Balvina once again, Cedric."

Cedric dimmed his eyes a little, replying with a low chuckle,

" Likewise, Aunt. It's pleasure to see you behaving so nicely. I hope, you stay like this always."

Embarrassement crossed across Angelica's facial expression after his straight remark as she brushed his insult away with a fake smile. Ayra shook her head lightly. 

This man would never change his way of talking!

As Angelica stepped on one side to open the path for them, Sienna came on her side to cool down her mother. She murmured in a low voice,

" Mother, don't be upset,, please. Don't forget that his wife's fate is in our hands. We can push her to dead end today."

Sienna's reminder calmed her down a little. Indeed, they didn't change after so many brutal attacks. Angelica a clever and wise woman did know when to stop or when to start. During this time, she stayed silent without doing anything so that Robert wouldn't get any bad impression on her.

Cedric's eyes looked back to find Robert standing with a cold face as he questioned sarcastically,

" Is your so called justice jury present here?"

Robert nodded his head hesitantly. If the jury really decided to punish Ayra, Cedric's all anger would be fallen upon him and his kingdom. Gulping down, Robert replied slowly,

" Uh..Yes..They.. They have already come, Cedric. Why don't you take rest first?"

Cedric lifted his one hand to stop him talking and replied with a smirk,

" No need, Uncle! Since we are the reason behind their arrival, I would like to settle the score first. Let's meet them first, Princess."

Robert agreed on that since they had come for a long time and were already getting irritated for being waited. As their back dissapared inside the indoor place, Sienna exhaled a long breath nervously.

Angelica noticed her daughter's pale face. She walked over on her side to warn her lowly,

" Don't look so panicked,Si. They shouldn't be figured out that we have notified the jury about Mystic Grove's incident or else Cedric will destroy us both."

Sienna only stiffened a smile. She didn't know why but her instinct wasn't feeling anything good about this trial.. Cedric wouldn't let anyone to punish his precious wife.
