His Witch Queen-Chapter 161: I love Alice!
Cyrus wasn’t disturbed entirely. His eyes glittered with unspeakable gaze. He felt that there were tons of the things that needed to be cleared,right now and there.
"Tell me, your answer. Cyrus. Who will you pick now, the Army or my daughter?" King Vilas didn’t give second chance and repeated his question.
Seeing the silence of Price Cyrus had suddenly made him feel the joy in King Vilas’s heart. He knew that the Prince wouldn’t be able to answer this question so easily.
However, just when he was ready to live the joy, he concluded that his happiness was short lived.
"I choose your daughter. With her by my side, I can oversee all the situations possible. So, it’s her, not anyone else in this world." Prince Cyrus finally answered.
There was the hint of an obvious gaze that he knew what he was saying. But at the same moment, King Vilas’s heart can’t be silent. This time, there wasn’t the frown line like before but the unmiserable glitters and the spark in those gazes.
He was surprised, sadeneed, not able to do many things in the process. But more than that, he knew that neither Prince is an easy man, nor he is very simple to deal with.
"You are asking for my daughter, King VILAS’S daughter and the Princess of the Suzania Kingdom."
"Indeed. That’s whom I’m asking about." Cyrus told without tearing his gaze from the Old man.
For now, he could feel that King Villas was in the deepest shock. He wasn’t able to hold what it felt like. ’Maybe it is his father’s instinct,’ that’s what Cyrus concluded.
But on the top of that, Cyrus knew as a King, he had insecurities. What if he uses Alice as the blood bank?
Whereas, in contrast to what Cyrus thought, there were other things which were needed to manage right now. King Vilas’s worries about living somewhere else which deals with some other matters.
"You are saying you and her. But Cyrus, do you know she’s different? She isn’t a normal human, if you consider her to be." For the very first time, Vilas addressed the vampire Prince without his former title. This was a bit new to Cyrus, but he acknowledged the same, "I know. Neither am I a normal vampire."
"But she has powers,which can disrupt you. She needs to be controlled and if not, then, Alice will...nevertheless, she isn’t a simple lady. If you are wanting her, let me apprise you, she isn’t a play thing."
Hearing the sensitive topic, Cyrus suddenly realized that King Vilas was more concerned about her safety. Her feelings,which we may play with. His nature wasn’t liked by the King,and he can conclude that it was because of his title of prince, a vampire.
But this didn’t stop Cyrus from taking the stand at what he had it all, "I’m all fine with what you’re saying to me right now."
"But why?" This time, King Vilas asked, with evident worry. There were troubles in his eyes and mind. The sentiments went through a roller coaster ride throughout. In fact, he felt that it was almost not possible to find himself with the fact that Cyrus was leaning towards Alice.
She was a normal person, whom he married. Suddenly, there was affection. He saw the evident changes in Alice. Whereas he felt the cunning vampire was suddenly asking for his daughter’s hand.
What was fishy in the entire scenario? King Vilas’ lifted above.
’Don’t tell me..he..’ the thought struck King Vilas very late,but it had to opt to ask, "Why are you so bent on being with her? Just a few days in marriage and now, you are afraid to give up on the army, but not on her? Why, Prince Cyrus?"
"You can get any lady you want, a vampire too, with whom you can live your life. But with my daughter?" King Vilas left no stone unturned to investigate the cause of the same.
To this, Cyrus didn’t ’t answer immediately.
He tried to reason out, but still maintained the perfect smile to the point, answering a bit, "Straightaway talks will be fine with me, if you can."
"Tell me, do you love her?"
Hearing this, Prince Cyrus’s eyes widened. But he recovered from them and had passed King Vilas’s eyes before. The thought, the word, was almost out of his brain. The thought never crossed his mind. Yes, he was protective towards her, he wanted her, there was no denying.
But can this be what he is describing? As a love? he highly doubted but it wasn’t the negative fact either. To this point, he was likely to embrace the thought and never considered it.
"Tell me, Cyrus. Do you love Alice?" King Vilas once again asked and as usual, Cyrus had no answer. There was silence that covered their each breathe. Moreover, it was getting heavier with each second.
But it was needed, he needs to analyze it right now, here. Recalling all the events in his brain, Cyrus stood there still. But his brain worked harder than ever.
The day of his marriage, the day when he talked with Alice for the longest,the day when he slept on the same bed, her getting injured and him carrying her...it was like a reel displayed in front of his mind.
For once, he wanted to escape and not accept the truth, but it was the hardest pill to swallow. Unfortunately,there was no way to escape from this.
Finally, Cyrus took a deep breath. He lowered her eyes, and then looked back, with another unexpected courage that rose to his heart this time.
"Yes, I do love her. I love Alice, your daughter. I’m willing to do anything for her, if it means keeping her by my side."
