Alice and Dominic felt the chills down their spine. Or it was hard to resist the aura that Prince Cyrus was vomiting at his point.
"Prince Cyrus, why are you trying to threaten us?" Alice asked very openly with her narrowed eyes.
She wasn't able to comprehend, why was this prince so concerned about them, being his enemies?
Turning around, he looked at the princess to smile, "So, is Princess Alice interested to die here?"
The frown on her forehead deepened, "I never said that."
"Doesn't matter."
He simply brushed her words before he looked again at her brother, Prince Dominic, and eyed with a straight glint present in his eyes, "So, tell me, Prince Dominic. Do you agree?"
With the hard way, Prince Dominic found it hard to refute. Moreover, letting anyone be aware of their visit to this place will surely cause an unnecessary uproar. '...Already Alice was attacked...'
Keeping everything in his mind, he made a distant expression before he had to signal Alice to hoop behind him. She was deeply reluctant but on the second note, her mood soured at the thought that they found nothing in their hands.
With a lot of resistance and hardships to convince herself, Princess walked closer to her brother before she held him from behind and his horse to sit behind him.
Lowering her eyes, she saw Prince Cyrus's smirk widening when they agreed to his words.
"Prince Cyrus. you should follow us too.." Dominic told Cyrus to which Cyrus went back to his horse and sat on its back.
Both the Prince once again ran their horses from where they came. The deep forest was as thick as before but with three people together, it became less scary.
Princess Alice kept her hand over her brother's shoulders when her head was still down. Never was she able to believe that they were returning back to their castle, just because of this vampire prince!
'If not because of him…maybe I would have got something on my hands…' but on the second note, she can't put this out of her reminder that this vampire saved her life… otherwise, she would have laid dead there.
After some time, the three of them entered their stable to come down from their respective horses.
Their horses were put in their positions when Alice adjusted her shawl behind her to look straight at Prince Cyrus.
"We came as you wanted. Now, you better keep your mouth shut!" her fierce voice made Cyrus laugh, "Shut? Is Princess Alice scared of me?"
"You? Hah, better if you remove this misconception from your brain. Good night!" Saying this, Alice stomped her foot on the ground before she walked back in her chamber's direction with dismay.
She was heavily disappointed with tonight's episode. It ruined her mood and increased her worry for her own father.
Unfortunately, she had no idea that the danger lingers over her head…
On the other hand, Cyrus simply stared at the lady's back before she disappeared from his sight.
A smirk pulled over his lips which didn't fade with the time until Prince Dominic approached him there itself.
Coming to face him, he coughed to gain his attention, "Prince Cyrus…today's visit shall be removed from all of our minds."
Hearing this, Prince Cyrus turned around to face the other prince with the same aloofness, "True. You kept my words and I will keep yours. This will be between us and no one else. Prince Dominic can rest assured and.."
A faint smile covered his lips to the extent where his eyes turned slightly red when Cyrus continued, "...Do the preparation of the wedding. After all, you are the Crown Prince of the Suzania Kingdom."
Hearing this, Prince Dominic was alarmed. He didn't show his expressions yet he was already feeling the smirk of Cyrus,
"You don't have to worry about that. Preparations are going at a rapid pace."
"That Is good to hear." saying this, Cyrus removed himself from the clothes before he told, "I will be going back to my chamber. Get yourself some sleep, Prince Dominic. Tomorrow might be a long day for you as well..."
With this, he left, making Dominic's eyes narrow. He behaved as usual but his heart told him that there were some major things he was missing out on.
But he had no idea what that might be.
And since they got nothing out from where they went, he had no other option but to let things go and not let anyone aware about their visit to the dark forest at the back.
"....And hopefully, nothing will happen to Alice and father in this..."
