Coming back on the path of going to Ayra, Cedric looked down at his stained clothes. Muttering something inappropriate under his breath, he cleaned himself hastily before making his way back to Ayra.
Ayra didn\'t leave her place according to Cedric\'s command. Little did she assume that he was going to kill someone again. Now few minutes back, she heard loud piercing voice of someone who probably begged for his life. Ayra wondered someone like Cedric had showed any mercy on that poor soul or not.
Dismissing those thoughts, she tried hard to keep her attention focused on her foods. Reaching out to grab the fish cutlet, she heard footsteps approaching near her room. Unlike before, Cedric appeared on her sight by walking and gave her a wide smile once their eyes met.
Cedric spoke walking over to her to sit down,
" Princess, have you eaten everything?"
He looked down to observe the dishes and to his surprise, he found them barely touched. His eyes flashed in dissapointment as he glanced up at Ayra to question confusingly,
" Why didn\'t you eat?"
Ayra gave him a blank look.
He went to fight with someone but expected her to enjoy her meal?
She put a slice into her mouth and replied dropping the fork on her plate,
" I was worried about the situation. Have you caught him? Where is he? What have you done to him?"
Cedric frowned unhappily by her series of questions. He didn\'t like it when she showed much interest in other men except him. Shrugging his shoulders off, he put a strawberry in his mouth before replying back through his chewing,
" He has been punished according to his crime. Spying on the Royals is a hemnious crime. You should only think that we are safe and sound now."
Ayra narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously. He was skipping her questions intentionally and didn\'t want her to know this matters. The more she stayed away from this Royal affairs, the more it was safe for her life.
Cedric thought that she wouldn\'t be bothered any longer and tried to bring up a warm atmosphere. Serving her some crayfish, he spoke with a distracted smile,
" Princess, try this one. This tastes too good."
Ayra didn\'t bother to speak and thought of returning her attention back to this delicious food. Just as she inteneded to shift her observant eyes from Cedric, she caught a glimpse of his sleeve. Under the bright light of candle, she clearly noticed the fresh blood stain mark on his sleeve.
Her eyes froze as she asked without diverting her eyes from his sleeve,
" Did you kill someone?"
Cedric cursed under his breath and didn\'t wish to tell her lies. He once again attempted to change the subject wisely,
" Princess! Let\'s not talk about the incident. Have this crayfish first. They are so juicy."
Ayra was angered by his indirect objections. She lost her temper within few moments and suddenly picked up the knife from her plate side. Under Cedric\'s watchful eyes, she stabbed the knife inside Cedric\'s plate with a bang and demanded her answer in a icy voice,
" I want my answer. Did you just kill someone?"
Cedric stared down at his broken plate in awe and somewhere he really started to regret for marrying this ill tempered woman.
How would he tell her the truth?
••• DIXON PALACE, BASARISK •••
Snarls of Chitahs had started to approach from their front. Brown glowing eyes started to appear from the darkeness as they made their way towards the direction of Palace.
Siemus inhaled a deep breath when she saw numerous glowing eyes in front. Her body gave out a shiver when she sensed the powers of their presence. Shifter Chitahs were naturally much more ferocious than other creatures. They are violence at night and even sometimes haunted vampires when they were hungry.
Siemus waited for Frenchies\'s arrival as he went inside the palace to look for the wolves. Lucky, he arrived on time and informed Siemus that everything was settled according to their plan. Their wolves were all ready to attack them from north. All they were waiting for Frenchies\'s next command.
Siemus nodded before decided to cast her illusory spell as they were very close to the palace. Frenchies watched her in amusement as she waved her hand in the air and soon after their front place had turned two times darker than before. Taking deep glance closely, Frenchies saw that the darkness had created a round ball shape that appeared weird from outside.
He couldn\'t help but asking Siemus out of curiosity,
" Hey Oldie! What have you done exactly? I saw nothing of your illusion world. It\'s just a black round ball."
Siemus glared at him and suggested with a daring smile,
" Why don\'t I send you inside so that you can witness the world of illusion on your own?"
Frenchies\'s face grimaced as he shook his head like rattle and forced a smile,
" No thanks! I have to work as a commander here. Let\'s call the wolves to join in fight with them now."
Siemus nodded before gesturing him to leave and looked back at her own casted spell. Her brows were tightly furrowed in concern because she never tried her spell with this Shifters.
She wondered that would it work for them as she expected or not!
Isabella came out of the room slowly. Watching no one around, she had a bad feeling and soon saw a maid on the corridor who was coming towards her room.
The maid rushed forward to hold Isabella and spoke in worry,
" Princess! Why did you bother to get up? You could have just called me once. The physician asked you to rest for the night."
Isabella waved her hands dismissively and spoke with a drained voice,
" I am well now. Why is the palace so silent? Has something happened?"
The maid didn\'t wish to tell her the real news. But Isabella would continue asking more if she didn\'t speak the truth. The maid sighed before uttering nervously,
" That.. Princess... Actually..we are attacked again by Davina\'s shifters."
Isabella\'s face turned pale as her body started to quiver slightly. Sucking a deep breath, she ordered the maid in a stern voice,
" Take me there! I hope that they would stop this fuss for the sake of their heir that I am carrying now."

Guess, what can be Isabella\'s relationship with the Shifters?
