The silence was uncomfortable between them. Cedric didn’t meet her eyes and looked down at his feet. Every sob that she broke through was like a stab in his heart. He had nothing to say to her after knowing that it was all his fault.

Watching his expression turning pale closely, Ayra was more sure that the healer was right about her inspection. Her lips quivered together,pain getting unbearable in her heart. After everything, she still wished that her thoughts were wrong. Cedric didn’t do anything to harm her or the baby. But his silence told the different story. He was sitting right in front of her, wearing that guilty expression which she never saw before.

" Why?", she voiced like whisper, tears dropping from her swollen eyes. It was more likely a question to herself.

Why did she believe the man in first place even after knowing that he was forcing everything on her? Why did she desperately try to build a family with someone who don’t know the meaning of love?

Cedric clutched the edge of bed, his eyes laying blank on the ground. Swallowing down his pain from his throat, he could only mutter incoherently,

" I..I am.. sorry..I.. said to you..I will never do.. anything..to...harm you..."

It was the truth that Cedric didn’t want to abort her child. Before putting the medicine, he didn’t that she was already pregnant with his child or else he would have never done this to her. He had a feeling that he deserved all the punishment on earth.

A surprised smile broke through Ayra’s face. Her smile carried the pain and broken feelings that she was carrying inside her throat, a smile that didn’t meet her eyes. She was laughing at herself in self-mockery. She whispered leaning onto him slightly,

" Tell me Cedric, how are you feeling now? Victorious or happy? Which one?"

Cedric closed his eyes shut, tears threatening to spew over. He could feel that he had damaged her severely this time. After today, she wouldn’t trust him ever possibly. He started muttering in a promising voice, 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

" Princess...we..we will have a lot of babies.. later.. Please.. forget this one..It was a mistake.."

Ayra narrowed her eyes darkly at his word ’mistake’. She didn’t entirely understand what he meant by mistake but she was broken beyond repaired. A bitter smile formed on her lips and she muttered letting her tears slipping down one more time,

" Yes, it was my mistake. Today, you have proved that you are just a demon like everyone says, Cedric."

The night in Basarisk was exceptionally quiet today to Cedric. Whenever loneliness crossed his mind, he came to seek comfort from the darkness. Frenchies made his presence known, stepping inside the empty space hastily. Before he could ask his questions, Cedric spoke in a whispering voice,

" Have I really become the demon that my mother never wanted?"

Frenchies halted in his track, letting out an audible sigh. He had warned him many times but Cedric was persistent to get rid of the possibilities of being pregnant.

When will he learn that he should take things slowly with woman?

For the first time in years, Frenchies heard him, asking the question suddenly. Frenchies let out a long sigh and replied shaking his head truthfully,

" I don’t think so, my Lord. If you had become the demon, you would be ruling over demonic souls not here in Basarisk land."

His mother, Jasmine never wanted him to become the emotionless demon ever. Until now, Cedric gave all his effort to become a loving family man. Although, his actions remained cruel, he tried his best to protect his family.

Cedric muttered, dragging his eyes back into the lonely,

" She.. said.. that..I have proven... myself..as Demon... She thinks that I..am.. heartless.. Frenchies..."

Frenchies dropped his eyes, his expression turning colder slowly. He realized that a great distance had been maiden between the couple. How much time it would take to break this cold bridge, it was still unknown.

Frenchies assured hopefully,

" Lady is just.. angry..She will understand you.."

Cedric hummed in agreement and believed that everything will be fixed later on. No matter what happens, he was going to assure that Ayra was going to stay right beside him.

Frenchies slipped to another topic, notifying him in a deep voice,

" The guards have all returned, my Lord. Lady Roaxana’s belongings are all gone now. No one is ever going to find out her existence anymore."

Relief crossed on Cedric’s expression after his words. Turning his head back, he gave a satisfied smirk to Frenchies who appeared in relief too. One possibility from Hayden was taken away. Now, the rest of his threats were going to be erased too.

Having second thought, Frenchies tucked his hand inside his pocket and picked out something urgently. After gripping the chain in his hand, Frenchies spoke in a nervous voice,

" Pardon me, my lord but this..I couldn’t let them burn it..I think, you will love to have it with you.."

A deep frown appeared between his temples. Forwarding, he grabbed it from Frenchies’s hand curiously and saw that it was a familiar chain with locket which he saw many times in the past.

His expression morphed in pain and with his shaky fingertips, he grazed over the content on that locket,

" LOVE YOU, C!!"

Sighing, Cedric put the locket in his pocket and thanked Frenchies genuinely,

" Thank you, Frenchies. I nearly forgot about this. I will love to carry it with me."

Frenchies nodded with a small smile. Even in his entire life, he never saw woman like Roxana. He also respected the late lady and paid condolence occasionally.

Turning again to face the dark night, Cedric gave his order, darkening his eyes,

" Now, I want to know where Hayden is staying this days, Frenchies! I can’t let him live around longer especially when he is threat to my family."
