Chapter 388 - Unrestrained Powers ----- Part 2
Ayra was a little afraid once Cedric entered into the scene. She still couldn\'t get out of the aftermath effect that she felt after the heat spurted out from her body. With her eyes still carrying the astonishment, she kept staring down at the venomous snake.
Isabella spoke getting herself up from the ground. She was a wise woman and soon her eyes followed the box that was left partially opened. Even though Ayra hadn\'t spoken yet, Isabella could assume that what just happened.
Isabella gasped shooting Cedric a nervous look,
" Brother! I assume that the snake came from this box and Ayra.."
Her eyes shifted on Ayra who held a bewildering expression and continued,
" Ayra managed to save me on time. Isn\'t it, Ayra?"
Only then Ayra came back to reality. Pulling her eyes up to stare at Isabella, she confirmed letting out a sigh of relief,
" That\'s right! Sister Isabella, are you okay? When I entered, I saw the snake over your bed. I was so freaked out that I couldn\'t do anything and then..."
Her voice cracked into a slow whisper afterwards. Eyes following the dead burnt snake, Ayra muttered having no clue of what happened here,
" It..it just happened..."
Cedric\'s expression turned dark in rage and an absolute urge of killing someone who dared to send this snake here. He growled letting out a hiss,
" Who sent this to you, Sister?"
Isabella muttered hatefully,
" The present came from Davina. I believe that Prince Shanz is behind this malicious plan, brother."
Cedric cursed pulling his lips into a predatory smirk,
" It seems like prince Shanz wants me to deal with him personally, Sister."
Cedric spoke before ordering a guard to take away the snake from there. Shifting his attention back on Ayra who was in state of daze, he asked hoarsely,
" Princess! How did you manage to use your powers? "
Ayra answered shaking her head unknowingly,
" Pardon me, Your Highness! I..I just don\'t understand how did it happen."
Isabella coaxed frowning at her brother unhappily,
" Don\'t scare her, Cedric. At least, it happened and she saved me. Ayra, I owe you a big favor from now on."
Ayra smiled weakly before answering,
" It is nothing, sister. Aren\'t we sisters?"

Cedric took Ayra back inside their living room. Letting her sit over the bed to clam down her anxious heart, he asked passing her a glass of water,
" Feeling better now?"
Ayra stretched out her arm to grab the glass of water. Taking a long mouthful gulp, she replied letting out a long sigh,
" A bit."
She felt a little hesitated that Cedric was upset on her for using magic without his permission. Raising her head to glance at him, she asked nervously,
" Do..do you mind that I have used magic unknowingly? Actually I wasn\'t in my mind."
Cedric smiled at her meaningfully. Crunching himself down to drop on his knees, he replied taking one of her palm to rub soothingly,
" Not a chance! Do not worry about your magics much, Princess. Only keep this in your mind that you have saved two lives. How can I dare to become angry on you?"
Ayra\'s gaze softened a little. She picked on his words to play along,
" So you mean that I would be punished if I used my magic mistakingly in other situations?"
Cedric stared at her for a while. Pinching on her palm slightly, he replied with a cunning smirk,
" Do you remember what I said to you, Princess?"
Ayra raised her questioning eyes. Cedric continued tingling the skin over her palm slowly,
" Even if you kill someone, I will help you to bury his body."
This time, Ayra smiled at him genuinely and for the very first time, she suddenly thought that it wasn\'t not so terrible to marry him at the end. At least, he tolerated her madness. In her entire span of life, she had only one worry that others would get scared of her powers and push her away. Loneliness scared her the most since her most parts of life was spent hiding from caves to mountains. No one wished a complicated life but sometimes fate betrays.
Cedric was a little taken back by her smile. His eyes admired her genuine smile for a while before asking her softly,
" Sleep Princess! I don\'t want you to perform a sadistic show with your bikini tonight. Let\'s keep it wrapped for tomorrow. Hmm?"
Ayra blushed at his comment. Pushing his hands away shyly, she scowled weakly,
" Get off! You always have this in your mind."
Cedric walked out of the room after coaxing his wife. Finding Isabella out of their room, he warned his anxious sister,
" Sister! I told you to sleep."
Isabella stopped pacing after his voice. She came to check on Ayra who looked shocked after the incident. She asked peering at the closed door behind,
" Is she okay?"
Cedric assured giving her a soft smile,
" Yes, she is! Princess Ayra has the breed of most rare creatures across the world, sister. Having some unrestrained powers isn\'t uncommon in her character. Now go back to sleep! I can handle everything."
Isabella was convinced by Cedric to walk back inside her room. As she left the spot, his calm eyes darkened a little.
Away from the kingdom of Basarisk, Davina was having a silent night out there. Even the Royal Castle was totally asleep without any noises around.
Footsteps began to approach inside the room adjusted to the court. Two of the guards dropped a huge box in front of a man who was sitting inside the darkeness.
One of the guard informed respectfully after bowing at the man courteously,
" Your Highness! We have received a return gift from Basarisk."
