RECOMMENDED SONG: Toxic By Sofia Kerlberg (Cover) ~?

* Back inside Ayra\'s room *

The night felt like an unforgettable nightmare to Ayra. She kept sitting on the bed holding the bedpost and was unable to move her single bone for a long time. Her heart was aching so badly that she was struggling to keep her breathing steady. Whenever she recalled the betrayed feeling on Seth\'s eyes, it just killed her inside. With her muffled screams, her nails dugged inside the wood of her bedpost and left a deep scratch mark unknowingly.

Moments afterwards, all her sorrows started to come out as a muffled cry,

" Why must it happen with me? Why must you do this to me god? I have spent an entire life like a prisoner and pasted my childhood alone. Why must you steal that single person whom I love wholeheartedly? Why must you taste my patience in every single incident of my life?"

" Why!!! Why!! Why!! ", this time she couldn\'t hold it back anymore and cried out miserably. In her vulnerable state, her legs weakened and the whole person glided down to the floor. She wanted to shout madly to vent out her pains but reminding his untellable warning, she hold back the painful screams in her heart and sobbed silently. At one point, her pain excessed so much that she pressed her own palms tightly on her lips to keep her cries buried inside the room. She didn\'t want to drag her family down inside this choas. Pushing Seth into danger was already a punishment for her. Perhaps she asked much from God. With her tears rolling down, she fell asleep over the dusty floor subconsciously and the painful night passed away in a blink of eye.

Next day, Ayra\'s sleep was disturbed by an urgent knock on the door. Supporting her numb body, she pulled herself up and went to unlock the door drowsily. As soon as the door was opened, Alexander\'s gaze narrowed suspiciously when he spotted dark circles under Ayra\'s eyes.

Without uttering a single word, he asked with a concerned voice,

" Sister..you okay? Haven\'t you slept well last night?Or..."

He paused mysteriously and resumed with a cold voice,

" Someone has come to find you?"

Ayra\'s sleepy state faded away as soon as Alexander asked her in a very serious tone. Maintaining an indifferent smile, Ayra tried to keep her tone natural,

" No.. What.. what will happen to me? Who will dare to disturb your sister,huh? Don\'t you know me?"

Alexander hummed with an understanding smile and was glad that his sister wasn\'t any weak or vulnerable woman like others. She knew very well that how to defend herself. Coming back to reality, Alexander reported with a lazy smile,

" Oh here..I forgot to tell you that mommy is calling you downstairs to choose your dress for today\'s evening. Since it\'s the last day of festival, everyone will come and they want their daughter perfect."

Ayra smiled faintly and knew that how much her mothers loved to makeup her. Hence they didn\'t have any daughter except her,they adored her the most.

But how could she say that she was going to do something which would possibly break everyone\'s trust on her? Will they find her greedy?

Ayra swallowed down the bitterness feelings in her heart and replied with a forced smile,

" Ummm.. I would like to sleep longer, Alex. How about you choose one for me?"

Alexander would have loved to help her in picking suitable dress for the evening. But gazing at her dark circles, he felt something off but decided to give her some space. With a bright smile, he replied before heading off,

" Sure! But sister, you should always remember that you have your brothers behind your back."

Ayra didn\'t know what did he mean and saw him striding downstairs hurriedly. Her eyes once again teared up at his words. She knew that she had everyone\'s back but she couldn\'t become the reason of another war. Decades ago, her whole family had already faced a tragedy for her sake. She just couldn\'t drag them into another misery again. She was blessed to have such adorable brothers like them. She still remembered that day in their childhood when someone called her \'Cursed Child\'. Alex and Arthur casted so much powerful spell on that noisy fairy that she turned into a weak old from an younger woman in a blink of eye. From that day, people called them monsters behind their back but they just didn\'t care. As long as they were loved by their family, nothing else mattered to them.

Finally the expected evening fell down with another drizzling rainfall. The moon had hidden long back behind the clouds and emitted a misty aura around the nature. The last day of Latin Moon Festival was full of dances. Group of entertainers were invited by the king personally from different places of Dalastia. People were eager to enjoy such enchanting performances.

The time was tickling slowly. Cedric who was impatiently expecting Ayra\'s arrival didn\'t pull away his eyes from the stairs from where she supposed to be landing down. The black cat wailed his tail beside him and was relieved deep down. Frenchies didn\'t expect that Ayra would be so determined to save Seth from his master\'s cage that she just agreed to marry him at once. Indeed love makes people fool.

Moments later, sounds of high heels tickling started to come out from the stairs followed by a pair of long slender legs. Naturally everyone\'s focus shifted on the way where a woman with breathtaking beauty was coming down. Ayra looked stunning with her reddish gown. A gold maiden bruce was sealed over her heart\'s content that enchanted her beauty more profoundly. With her right leg peering in and out from the partition of her red gown, she unleashed a seductive aura. Her beauty was treasured by everyone astonishingly including Cedric who didn\'t miss her single movement.

With his lips curling up mysteriously, he sipped his red wine and felt more impatient regarding her announcement. As he dived in those assumptions, his eyes landed on those civilians who were still eyeing on her.

Instantly a black layer appeared on his face and his demon inside growled unhappily.

Why were they eyeing on her for so long?

Cedric snorted to that lazy cat beside him,

" I am not liking this, Frenchies."

Frenchies who felt another trouble coming on growled back in his human voice which could be beard by Cedric only,

" What? Are you finding prettier woman?"

Cedric gulped the rest of his wine and grunted arrogantly,

" What prettier woman? Do you think that my woman lacks beauty? Look at her..Who can stand against her beauty? She is one kind of fire on her own. I was stating that I don\'t like others watching at her. It is driving me crazy."

The innocent cat finally understood and rolled his eyes back sarcastically. Scratching his nose awkwardly, he stated with a puff,

" Master..She..she isn\'t your fiancee.. Officially..How could you be so posseive so fast.."

Cedric ignored his words and his gaze dimmed slightly after a deep thought. The next moment, he did something shocking that made Frenchis speechless.

As soon as he snapped his two fingers together, all the chandeliers around the white castle lit off. The entire space fell in dense darkeness so much that one couldn\'t be seen from an inch apart. Even Ayra was abruptly paused in her track and looked around stupifiedly.

What happened all of sudden?

She kept wandering on the stairs and tried to understand the situation. As she attempted to desecned down, her back froze when she felt a presence behind her. Then his alcohol mixed voice echoed beside her ears slowly,

" So much in hurry? Why? Can\'t wait to announce your fiancee?"

Ayra couldn\'t help but gnashing her teeth harder. She knew very clearly that who was the owner of this voice. With her voice lowering down, she growled restraining her anger,

" What are you doing here?"

Cedric replied with a mysterious grin,

" Of course to pay a visit to my fiancee."

Ayra was going to retort but remembering their earlier agreement, she swallowed back her cursing words. She heard him saying again hoarsely,

" Remember your words, Princess. Or else..."

Cedric paused delibaretly and continued grinning,

" The present that you will receive tomorrow morning is Seth\'s head. You don\'t dare to disobey me, do you?"

Ayra sighed shakingly and hummed weakly. Satisfied with her answer, Cedric didn\'t wait any longer and snapped his fingers again to bring back the lights. The crowd gasped surprisingly when the lights came back on its own. Since their attention were diverted, they didn\'t pay attention on Ayra anymore.

Ayra kept staring at Cedric who just passed away from her back in a blink of eye. Under his heated eyes, she inhaled deep breath to muster up her courage and went over to her fathers nervously.

Bowing her head down a little, she spoke weakly,

" Daddy, Papa..I..I have to inform you something.."
