BXBX NOVEL Chapter 337 - Made Of Fire!
Cedric sounded mysterious. He didn\'t turn around immediately to stare at the intruder who had been eyeing on them from distance.
Ayra swallowed down the meat in her mouth and looked up at him questioningly. Her pupils trembled slightly before darting her eyes from back to forth in an attempt of discovering the third person apart from them. When she saw no one else, Ayra parted open her lips to ask in a low voice,
" Where? Who?"
Cedric hussed pressing his index finger on her lips and at the same time, used his thumb to wipe off the juice from the corner of her lips. Ayra fell quite and sensed his fingertip gliding down through her barely parted lips. Ayra stayed numb but such sensation already aroused her goosebumps.
She kept staring numbly at Cedric and waited to hear his response. Her heart was literally thumping wildly like fire. Cedric smirked before explaining to her patiently and tugged her long hairs behind her ear,
" No matter what you hear from inside, just keep enjoying your meal, Okay?"
Ayra gave him a slight nod and asked thinking twice,
" What if the hiding person try to attack me?"
Cedric sent her a devilish grin before responded with a dark chuckle,
" Then enjoy his blood first then you can have the meal. But he won\'t come to you, sweetheart. He will have to pass me before reaching you and I am not going to let him touch my pretty wife. So rest assured and enjoy your foods."
He stood up after saying and vanished from there in no time. Before Ayra could assert his words rightly inside her head, the man had dissapared leaving no room of discussion anymore. Helpless by his comment, Ayra could only pay attention back to eat her favourite food though one part of her wondered that who had dared to sneak in this palace during their presence?
The rumors were all right! He had countless enemies to trail him off always!
Meanwhile, the shadow in undercover was astounded by the sudden dissaparence of Cedric. The couple spoke something to each others but then the other one had vanished away.
Since his main target was missing, there was no point of standing here to watch over Ayra with so much risks.
Black boots appeared out from the curtains and made his way towards the distant place from their sitting spot. Amidst the darkness, a shadow was walking towards the exit thinking of getting away before being noticed by anyone.
After taking few steps, the shadow felt like someone was watching on him. He paused in his track and whipped his head back to assure such feeling.
Finding nothing but amidst darkness,he started to continue his walk again. After going through several steps, the same feeling lingered in his mind.
Isn\'t it ridiculous to become a secret target when he was actually targetting someone else a few moments back?
The shadow was so engrossed in concentrating on those feelings that he forgot the root and took the completely opposite root that he was supposed to take in.
As the feelings didn\'t go away from his mind, he started to walk again but kept his head staring at the back. His feet continued walking forward at the the same time and kept peering at his back.
He got bumped against a hard chest after a while and gasped retreating several steps back in astonishment. Looking up through the darkness, he heard Cedric\'s low chuckle and malicious tone,
" Are you lost gentleman? Need guidance?"
The shadow stared hard in terror. He started to pant for air and asked Cedric after swallowing hard,
" How...how did you able to see me?"
Cedric exhaled a long sigh and was pissed off that his date was ruined by him. He spoke in an amusing voice,
" Murky Shadow Hunter? Is that what you guys called?"
This living creatures worked as spies for some particular families or Royal families. They possesed the power of getting vanished in the air. In other words, you couldn\'t see them if they stood by your side. There was only way to find out their existence was fire. If someone peered at their hiding spot through fireball or any candle, only then their existence could be discovered. They looked alike human in features.
The shadow got afraid by his revelation. He couldn\'t help but wandering that how did Cedric find about him.
Did his power didn\'t work out? He was so careful with his hiding.
Cedric laughed hard throwing his head back. Humming a tune sarcastically, he explained while approaching the shadow slowly,
" You guys can only be seen in fire, ain\'t it?"
The shadow swallowed and nodded in response. Cedric paused between his track and snorted before reporting in a deep voice,
" Then you must have forgotten that I am made of fire. You all can be seen in my eyes. Wanna recheck?"
After Cedric\'s words, the shadow felt like his death was getting closer. He had been warned by Cedric\'s mysterious powers many times but still dared to accept such risky mission.
The shadow man thought of saving himself first. He bent down his head a little as submission and pleaded with guilty,
" Forgive us, Your Highness! I won\'t repeat this mistake anymore."
Cedric didn\'t had any ounce of sympathy for the shadow man. Instead his expression darkened further when the shadow man began worshipping him fakingly. In his lifetime, he hated fake people who tried to bribe his sympathy through fake polishes. He encountered such people so many times that he no longer trusted on outsiders.
Cedric spoke in a lazy voice while starting to fold his arms,
" Well, I could have let you go but you ruined my date night. I am pretty much in bad mood."
The shadow man staggered one step back and muttered looking down at his folded arms,
" Your Highness! Please! "
Cedric spoke in husky voice as his eyes started to appear burning as hell,
" Let\'s try with second degree murder first!
What do you say?"
