BXBX NOVEL Chapter 460 - Redemption
Ayra ran her thumbs over the red gem. The word \'Q\' was boldly crafted as if the pendant was made for the unknown person especially. Looking at the exaggerating design, she could possibly guess that the pendant belonged to a upper class person. But her thoughts wandered about why Cedric would keep someone\'s pendant with such extreme care. He wasn\'t a man who believed it sweet love. But keeping this staff so carefully had only one meaning that the person was someone especial to him.
None of the sisters had the name starting with \'Q\'. Even their mother used to go by the name \' Jasmine\'. She couldn\'t find anyone relatable to this pendant but one thing for sure, it was deeply bothering her.
Was she jealous over a little thing?
Her thoughts couldn\'t fall deeper anymore when footsteps approached the door and familiar voice rang from the doorstep,
" Well, it seems like my wife misses a lot this days."
Her thoughts were pulled back to reality when she heard Cedric\'s calm voice. She was nervous instinctively and put back the necklace on its place as his eyes followed her action. There was a flash of unhappiness in his eyes which implicated that he wasn\'t happy with her finding his stuff.
Ayra explained before catching the attention of his coat,
" I came to meet you but you weren\'t there. Do you mind?"
Cedric hid his unhappiness with a smile. Entering in, he replied coming to stop near her,
" Why would I mind when I, myself belong to you not only my stuffs?"
Ayra blushed a little but didn\'t get angry with him today. She was slowly wrapping up with the fact that he could taunt her anytime, anywhere. Putting the subject of pendant behind her mind, her attention fell on his coat which had stain of fresh blood.
She frowned reaching out to touch his coat initiatively,
" What have you done again?"
She couldn\'t help but frowning deeper and at the same time ran her hand through the bloodstains. Cedric smiled down at her action and clutched her palm which was going to slide down,
" Don\'t touch them, Princess. This blood belongs to other man."
Ayra put her hand back and growled inside. Narrowing her eyes at him, she replied snorting,
" Why are you so possessive? Anyways how did you punish the man that the blood fell on your coat?"
Cedric laughed sarcastically at her innocence. He responded twitching his lips in amusement,
" I haven\'t punished him."
Ayra gave him a confusing glare to hear him continuing with a dark chuckle,
" I have killed him. He was flying his hands too much and left his filthy blood on my coat. Such a waste! "
Ayra\'s expression wasn\'t comfortable after learning that he had taken someone\'s life again. Cedric patted his coat lazily and reminded off the moment when he saw her holding something from his drawer. He questioned sounding casual as much as he could,
" Why did you come by the way?"
Ayra blinked and hesitated before speaking,
" Well, I saw a pendant inside the drawer. Who is the owner of it!"
Cedric skipped the question wisely. Climbing on the desk to sit down lazily, he retorted completely ignoring her curiosity,
" That wasn\'t the question, Princess. Why did you want to meet me?"
Ayra gave up asking and replied fondling with the hem of her clothes nervously,
" I want to go in Prayer with Sister Jessie on the day of festival. Can I?"
Her question brought a frown between his temples. He wondered when did their relationship developed so much that they were hanging out together. Cedric shrugged with a surprised glare,
" I didn\'t know when did my sister had become such holly creature. Are you two upto something?"
Ayra\'s eyes dilated a little before shaking her head repeatedly. If she told him the truth of visiting the grandfather, he would never allow them to leave. Cedric rested his eyes on her for a while before humming quitely. She didn\'t look suspicious and it was okay to let her have another companion.
Cedric replied looking up to meet her eyes,
" If you wish that, you can go but you must keep the guards with you."
Ayra bit her lips together and didn\'t say anything. Too many objections could arise his suspensions more. Her eyes followed his back and fell on the discarded letter once again.
Her lips parted before speaking to him,
" Did the welfare board asked for us?"
Cedric knitted his brows together. It turned out like she had seen and known too much in his absence. Cedric hummed as response and heard her asking again in a worried voice,
" Are they scary or can they do any harm to you?"
Cedric laughed at her words. Rubbing a thumb of his thigh, he replied lazily,
" They are just a bunch of arrogant puppet, Princess but not strong enough to harm me."
Ayra sighed dropping her head down and murmured lowly,
" I..I am sorry..I didn\'t mean to bring trouble for you."
Cedric looked at her longer before speaking with a smile,
" You think that you have brought trouble for me?"
Ayra nodded still keeping her eyes on the ground. She felt like her words weren\'t enough to mend her mistake. Cedric darkened his eyes at her and replied with a grin,
" Actually you are right and you should give me a redemption at least."
Ayra looked up at his smile strangely. Not understanding his words a bit, she kept frowning until he opened his mouth again and revealed his demand slowly,
" Kiss me, Princess. I have to know how much skilled I have made you in this time."
