Coming back to the Palace of Basarisk, Ayra was guided by Cedric to come on the rooftop. She followed him with curiousity. Until now, she didn't understand why did they had to come on the rooftop to take a vow.
In comparison with other days, the weather was pretty clear in that night. A round moon could be seen occasionally through the sea of clouds that passed over them. It was refreshing but Ayra's mind kept wandering about their motives.
She watched Cedric walking near the railings and stopped facing her from front. His attention was on the moon which appeared and disappeared often. Ayra followed his eyes and she found nothing unusual in her eyes. Her words came out shortly,
" Why do we have to come here if we want my vow? Don't you trust me?"
Ayra couldn't help but questioning him strangely. If he wanted her blood, that could be given inside. Cedric returned his gaze on her and flashed her a smile which wasn't genuine,
" Relax, Princess. Words can be tampered and vows are as precious as wedding. It is the exact reason that I have brought you here."
Ayra blinked at him confusingly and smiled back a little. She understood his worry and honestly she couldn't put her objections on it. Cedric was raised by a pair of unloved parents who left his side one by one. It wasn't his fault that he was too much insecured regarding his loved ones.
Cedric streched out his palms on her way and asked sweetly,
" Give me your hands, Princess."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAyra hesitated before putting her hands into his palms gently. His hands were cold and she placed them into his gloves, a wave of hot air began to extinguish through his palms. Ayra almost took back her palms instantly but relaxed after taking a look of him. It was no one but her husband and mate for this life. She shouldn't be afraid of him not after meeting such caring side of him.
Cedric smiled at her easiness gladly and stole a glimpse of the moon which was now changed a bit. A layer of red marks was seen on it which wasn't present before. Ayra's whole attention was on Cedric which was the reason, she failed to notice the change on the moon.
Cedric's words resonated against the air a bit loudly so that each corner of rooftop could hear him out clearly,
" The Red Moon Day is considered to be the most auspicious day in a demon's life, Princess. If you give your words in front of the moon,it will remain null and void for eternity. Think about it! Do you really want to do this?"
Ayra hesitantly stole a glimpse of the moon. She found it nothing wrong since they were married to each others and was destined to become each others. Ayra nodded looking up at him smiling,
" If that makes you happy, I can do this. I believe that you want bring any harm on me."
Cedric grinned showing the rows of teeth inside his mouth,
" Why would I when I treasure you the most in this world?"
Her cheeks turned pink and she blushed before lowering her eyes shyly. In a matter of moment, Cedric's momentum turned serious. His palms clutched her hands tightly. His cold tone ordered pulling her closer to his body,
" Follow my words, Princess. Whatever I say, you must agree with me. You can't go back to your words, you remember?"
Ayra nodded without thinking anymore and decided to follow his way blindly. Each creature had different rules in their existence and she didn't find anything strange in giving him her words.
Cedric spoke keeping his eyes on her deeply,
" In this life, you are only allowed to give your blood to your king, your husband, Cedric Arnaldo Dixon. No matter who asks you, you won't permit him. Do you agree?"
Ayra stiffened a little uncomfortably. He sounded very strange at that moment but she did as she promised to do earlier,
" I.. agree.."
As soon as her words fell out, a loud crashing noise echoed nearby. Ayra jerked in her spot but didn't let go of his hands. The atmosphere around them changed in a minute. The winds were suddenly passing wildly as if a storm was going to fall nearby.
She looked up at Cedric in worry whose eyes were glowing like fire and she swallowed hard. Cedric seemed unaffected about everything as he continued his questions nonchalantly,
" You are giving your body, your heart and your soul to Cedric Arnaldo Dixon willingly in this life, do you agree?"
This time, his words shocked Ayra who narrowed her eyes strangely at him. She wanted to ask the meaning but Cedric had already reminded her that no interruption should be occurred during the process.
Her eyes darted back and forth uncomfortably and found the winds grew more powerful in force. After a moment of hesitation, her lips parted and she gave her words in front of the moon,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm" I...I... agree.."
Even a minute wasn't even passed when she felt a scorching pain from the bottom of her heart. Her eyes widened slightly before coughing and vomited a little blood. She lost her conscious in that exact moment but was grabbed by Cedric gently.
Everything around them began to turn normal but Cedric smiled widely looking down at her. His thumb caressed her lips and wiped the blood clean before putting the same finger inside his mouth.
Frenchies arrived at the spot almost running. He sensed the atmosphere up here and ran immediately to figure out what was going on. His face paled when he saw Cedric holding Ayra who just fell unconscious.
Frenchies questioned raising his tone,
" What have you done to her? My Lord, you...Did you ask her to...."
Cedric hussed him with a grin. Without caring about his existence, he picked Ayra over his shoulder and grinned saying,
" I told you, Frenchies. She is mine to love and mine to hurt. Whatever it is, only I can do it to her. By the way, Please track the location of my dearest father, Frenchies. We haven't played for a long time."
He began to walk for the stairs when Frenchies yelled from his back frustratingly,
" This isn't love, My Lord. You are becoming obssesed with her. Obsession is scarier than love. I beg you to let her decide whatever she wants."
