His Witch Queen-Chapter 144: Wrong -

With the slight sunlight in the sky, it wasn’t entirely morning. However, there was still enough sunlight to dwell from the small gaps present in the castle.

As Cyrus was peacefully lying on the stone bed beside his wife, a faint smile was still present on his lips.

The rest was unimaginably beautiful. He never thought that sleeping beside someone, especially his wife, would feel this good.

It was all relaxing and he could sense his entire mind getting refreshed to this point. But the same refreshment got over very soon when he snapped and opened his eyes to find some kind of abnormalities around him.

As his one hand was still wrapped around Alice’s shoulders, his eyes withdrew to look at the door, finding routers here and there. ’Is there someone?’

He was doubtful that the possibility of someone residing here was almost impossible. Yet taking a risk in this palace, Cyrus carefully removed Alice from his embrace to get up on his feet.

Similarly, as the small sensation caused the timeous noise, Alice’s sleep was also disturbed.

Subconsciously, she opened her eyes to look at Cyrus, who wasn’t at his place but nearby the door. "Cyrus., what happened..wh."

"Shh..." he motioned her to keep herself quiet for at least now.

While Alice’s brows were curved into a direct frown, she didn’t raise the unnecessary questions either. Keeping herself in the same place, Alice maintained the same curiosity and got out of bed too.

As there was still not very much lighting in the castle and in the chamber itself it became extremely difficult for Cyrus to even take a look at a single thing. Coming near the corridors, Cyrus’s eyes glanced in the direction. Even though there was absolute darkness, his heart still didn’t rest out there immediately.

For the next few minutes, he waited..and waited..until he felt the movement.

Meanwhile, inside Alice, who noticed how Cyrus was behaving, alarmed her. She wrapped her hands around her gown to take a deep breath. ’Can someone trace us here?’ it was highly unlikely that someone even got the hint that they both have left the Empire.

After all, it wasn’t a day till yet and no one’s attention must have caught their absence unless...her maids blurted something and came to find her in the middle of the night..

’That is impossible.’

At the same time, Cyrus had kept his eyes fixed and suddenly felt a small cat appearing from the darkness. A black cat with green eyes. "Seriously..?’’ For God’s sake, Cyrus knew how relief washed over him. For a few seconds, he had believed that they were all now caught up in some kind of web itself.

"What happened Cyrus..is..there someone?’ Alice still asked in a slow voice, to get a negative response from his side, "No one is there..Relax."

Hearing this, Alice too, took a breath to let out a sigh. Then, her eyes averted to see outside from the small patches of the chamber, "It is going to be a day very soon.."

"Hmm, I think we should now move forward. get ready." was all he muttered and Alice agreed to it.

Knowing that they’ll need to be ready for their journey from now onwards, didn’t create much impatience in her heart.

After all, going to the Ontex Empire is the main mission and from there onwards, to reach as soon as possible to her father and inform him about the evil deeds of King Almen.

As Alice kept all the giant boxes ready for the soldiers to take them, Cyrus wore his armor. It was a grayish armor, unlike how the Royal armor looks like. It gave him the look to be a part of the army, but he didn’t specify either by its style.

But what was inconvenient was the strings it had to tie.

The Prince tried but he failed miserably in doing so. So, to come to a better outcome, he raised his head to look at Alice who was still doing the rest of the work.

"Alice...I need your help."

Alice turned around to gaze at him, "Yes? Which kind of help do you want?"

"This..." Cyrus pointed out the laces left untied on his armor. Since what he wore was comparatively heavy, it even had the laces in front. It became extremely hard for him to tie them even after several attempts of doing so.

Neither did Alice show any resistance. She stepped ahead to walk his way and then stood in front of his boy. Looking at the laces, Alice took one pair in her hand and then tied it with a strong grip.

Afterward, she took the next pair and tied them. This went on until she had finished tying all the laces.

At this moment, her eyes were intact at the laces to not miss it or let it stay loose, whereas Cyrus’s eyes were wandering at her face. Under the same diminished light, he can’t help but feel the gulping of the saliva. He hadn’t an idea but the vampire’s urge to let himself feel those soft flavors raised.

Just like how he wanted to learn the curiosity and truth behind his birth, so did he wish to have her....despite knowing the multiple consequences...

The Crown Prince’s eyes didn’t tear from her face and it made Alice conscious. Subconsciously, she too raised her head to look at his face like the evilest vampire. "I-Is...there..something..on my lips?"

"N-no." She could hear his hoarse voice under the deep huskiness.

It made her heart skip a beat when she passed him a nod to take a step back from their proximity and then turn around and walk to the other side. But then, Cyrus easily tugged her wrist once again and pulled her near his chest.

With a sudden jerk, Alice’s hair fell on her face as another frozen expression took her by chance. Nothing could change how she appeared right now to him.

Like any sweet meal that needs to be savored at this right moment until it’s too late for him to take another. Because there was no more control over his inner desires....

Bringing his left hand near her face, he gently removed that hair from her beautiful face. She was taken aback but didn’t fringe away from him even a bit. All Alice did was stand on her toes to gaze back in his increased eyes with the total shock that put on her head like any other jelly.

With the slow and the steady speed, Cyrus tilted his head slightly to bring his lips near her cheeks, as he first planted a small kiss on her cheeks...which flushed her even more. The temptation and shyness blinked altogether.

Yet Cyrus didn’t take the break in between either.

He kept moving his head and finally, he closed his eyes to feel the softness that belonged for so long. Her lips were the softest thing he could ever feel in his entire life till now.

Whereas, Alice’s eyes widened with shock. Her eyelashes were all widened in shock, surprise, and whatnot. An emotional surge happened, she was going to faint or not...

But Cyrus hadn’t finished his work. He kept on using his lips to bite her lower lip, get the taste, and flavors to not miss. Meanwhile, his other gip tightened around her waist even more. The time stopped and then, finally, Alice gave in to shut her eyes and do as per what he did to her right now.

It was driving her insane!

Following his lead, to his surprise, she didn’t resist pushing him either. She kissed him back too!

And this was the last bit of the threat which held beneath him which was now broken too. Using his mouth more thoroughly, to begin with, he wasn’t as professional yet the first kiss was the most beautiful experience he could get.

She tasted their saliva mixing up and wanting to merge all together.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

The sudden knock held both of them away. Immediately, Alice kept her face in his chest to hide it from the one who had appeared at their door. Whereas, Cyrus was startled in the same spot but he averted his head instantly to look behind and found that his soldier, with his head low, was waiting for them. "Prince, we all are ready. If you. And Princess..are.."

"We will be there in a few moments." was all he muttered and without the delay, the doors were closed too.

But their heavier breathing didn’t stop. Alice’s heart was beating too fast as if it will strike against her chest and hammer it all to get out.

Whereas, Cyrus had understood her awkwardness well. He coughed a bit, to find his wife clinging to him like any other koala. For the very first time, she hugged him altogether without a single gap in between.

Coughing a bit, he took a deep breath, saying to all, "I think we should go..everyone is waiting.."

"Yes! Let’s go now.."
