His Witch Queen

"I'm not any weakling. If I'm saying that I will not agree to what King Almen said, I firmly stand on my words and no one can shake my confidence." Prince Cyrus answered without moving his gaze even for a minute. 

Moreover, Prince Seb's lips were entirely sealed at the sight of his brother's such strong willpower. It never occurred to him that Prince Cyrus will never do bootlicking just for the sake of the Crown. 

For him, his self-respect comes first and there is nothing in this world that could surpass the same. 

Prince Seb's silence gave general Ryan the insight that it was his turn to actually speak and come in support. He coughed a bit to gain and lift his eyes to stare at Cyrus, "You have taken the Prince's words into the wrong manner, Crowned Prince Cyrus." 

"I haven't taken them the wrong way. I just said what I wanted." Prince Cyrus answered honestly, without bulging from his position. 

He walked in the direction of the General, where Ryan saw the fire that was actually still burning in the Crown Prince's eyes. He was not like any other vampire, who had the hang of expression on their burning state. 

But his eye-head slightly turned red and General Ryan had a hard time gulping the saliva present in his mouth. Despite the attempts to not let his horror come on his face, he wasn't successful. 

Yet, after that, he heard the husky voice, "You both are here to convince me that I shouldn't go against my own father because that can prove a disadvantage for me in the future. But I don't have any plans to let myself respect to be tempered all because of this title" 

"And..If you think that King Almen really wished to give this title to prince Alex so easily, he would have done that years ago." Cyrus laid out the analysis, which made general Ryan's mouth hope but no words came out from there.

But Prince Cyrus didn't stop in his trail of sentences, "Prince Alex....is too afraid to actually take up the responsibilities. I know when I can go against them and when I can't. So, you both can rest assured because this power..is going nowhere from my hands.." 

With this statement, Prince Cyrus put his other hand on prince Seb's shoulders to come and face him again, "You are worried, and your worries are understandable. You love your Kingdom, so do I. Don't worry, if the dangers linger, we will fight together but we will protect this Kingdom to our last strength." 

On hearing these words, Prince Sebestian's eyes glowed with the spark, "We will protect this Kingdom altogether, Crowned prince Cyrus.." 

Exchanging the word, Prince Cyrus took the leave of their to go from the place. While Prince Seb and general Ryan stared at his back, they couldn't help but talk among themselves. 

"Do you think that he is...taking this Alliance to be extra seriously, General Ryan?" Prince Seb asked, without tearing his gaze from the direction in which Cyrus left, to which, the general nodded, "I think he is. Despite knowing that she can never bring him kids and... will always be just the Queen in name, he is acting too fiercely." 

Prince Seb agreed to his wordings, "He is acting protectively towards that woman. It might cost him..." 

In contrast to the earlier serious face, a faint smile carved on the general Ryan's face which lifted the corner of his lip up, "History is the example that women are many times the example for the man's downfall.." 

"But..this time, I feel there will be the change.'' General Ryan honestly told which made Prince's eyes widen. He started his head in the general direction, to ask,"What kind of change?" 

On the question, the general's lips had neither a smile that reached up to his ears. There was the slight hint of happiness that plugged in his eyes where he brought his hands all at the back of his body to comment back.

"The change in the history and the tales.... this Princess....will be the reason for the success of Our Crowned Prince. She will never let him fall and...I can see it..." 

A sigh escaped from prince Seb's lips where he also nodded, "Let's hope this is true because if not, we all will be doomed, so will our Kingdom and heritage.." 

….

At the same time, Prince Cyrus was walking through the lobbies before his gaze passed through the nearby garden. There his eyes fell on the back of one person, which made his lips turn into a straight line. 

Without thinking twice, he changed direction and came into the garden to see the lady, who was actually sitting near the plants. Towering behind her like any other poll, he stood there with his hands on his back. 

"You are here? I wasn't expecting you to be there today, lady Sharron." 

Upon hearing his voice, the lady lifted her gaze which traveled to see the Crowned prince. A dimple had formed on her cheeks, with her eyes all around. "Neither was I thinking of coming across Prince Cyrus today." 

"How have you been?" Cyrus asked, keeping his rage under control, to which the lady didn't get up but moved those eyes back on her plants before she touched them tenderly and talked at the same time, "A lady like me, is actually roaming here and there. I don't think that someone needs to ask about my well-being." 

"You are also precious in our castle. You are going to be the lady of this Castle after your marriage." Cyrus answered, but then, the answer of Lady Sharron shocked him. "A wedding isn't done by one person, Crown Prince Cyrus. It requires efforts from both the ends and in my case, neither end is willing to come together in this union." 

….

Meanwhile, Alice had already returned to her own chamber. She had to take a deep sigh before she sat on the bed and took a bit of rest. 'Today was very hectic...' going and meeting very much drained most of her energy. 

Never did Alice expect that touring the entire castle would be so difficult. On top of that, a conversation with Queen Elizabeth had already made her exhausted. 

She can't figure out the reasons but her body was almost shaking. Even if she didn't wish to let herself be overcome by such a long task, she can't find any energy for herself. 

'Maybe a rest will do the work...' With this thought arising in her mind, did Princess Alice walk closer to the window that was present out there? 

But before that, when she had come to stand there for the fresh air, Alice's eyes fell at a certain distance from her chamber to see something and found that there were two people, conversing. 

"Wait! Is that Cyrus and... a lady?" The sight was still very much confusing but her mind told her that she was correct this time. 

The simple armor of Cyrus and his solid body language were enough to make her realize that he was there. Moreover, with another lady, who is now standing in front of Cyrus, with her mixed eyes. 'Who can be this lady?' she had no clue but it didn't mean that it didn't increase something in her heart. 

Thousands of emotions surged inside her mind when she clutched her hands onto the window's borders, where her eyes narrowed. "This...he told me that he doesn't have anyone in his life yet he is talking with a lady?" 

She highly doubted if the lady was his sister or any other Princess of at least this Kingdom. The simple look of the lady's face was enough to make her understand that there was something more.. 

It infuriated her mind but she knew how to cope as well. It Wasn't only taking a troll on her mind but also making her almost go crazy! 

'God....don't tell me that he has secret lovers here and there and he didn't tell me about them because he thought I will hurt them?' Was this the possibility or not? It wasn't enough to conclude but it cleared her. 

As her heart was hammering against her chest, she was left with no other option but at least to take deep breaths to calm herself. 

Bringing her hand back on her chest, she rotated her head again to see at the both of them, the feelings taking another toll over her mind. Something crawled under her skin, as she found it to be magical and indigestible in her mind. 

At last, with no other option that was present in front of her eyes, Alice's mind quicker to find herself in the position. "If he thinks that... he can actually lie at my face..then he is wrong.." 

"Let's see what kind of flies do you come up with, Prince Cyrus.." mumbling this under her breath, Alice instantly moved in the direction of the door of the chamber, before the entire chamber was again empty..and silence felt by....
