Loved By a Vampire King-Chapter 470 - The Game
*** Sorry everyone! As some of you know that I was sick, I had to take this days off to recuperate fast. Here's the new updates and this days, I will try to update more! ***
A kid always had her own fantasy world. They have the minimum consciousness to see the reality. That was the reason, Isabella didn't take Lara's words very seriously. Instead she listened with great amusement and cracked a lame joke but Lara didn't give up so easily. She pleaded until the very end and Isabella had no choice but to ask Silas for once.
Silas stayed out of the mess, smoked at a corner and straightened his back as soon as he saw Isabella coming. His eyes had spark whenever she came to him initiatively. Isabella smiled taking a look of the kids who were planning to play again,
" Can you shift in front of us?"
Silas's expression turned pale upon hearing her question. His eyes swiped past to fell on Lara who pouted at his glare. It was accident from his side to show up in front of Lara in his true form. However he had no choice and made a deal with Lara that she wouldn't ever disclose this secret to anyone. But it turned out to be wrong. Isabella didn't notice his tensed muscles. She waited for his answer expectantly without tearing her eyes off. Having second thought, Silas found a suitable excuse.
He pulled his eyes on Isabella who continued waiting and asked in a low shallow voice,
" Shifting requires being naked in front of everyone. If that's the princess wants, I will be more than glad to do that."
His flirting words startled her who didn't think of this way. Her cheeks turned red in embarrassment as she coughed lightly suturing,
" It's.. Lara..She wanted to see you...Ah.. Forget it..You can show her next time.."
Silas smiled down at her. Staring at the pink dot blushes on her cheeks, he commented breathlessly,
" You look beautiful when you blush."
Before Isabella could give any reaction to his words, Lara and the rest of the kids yelled at them excitedly,
" Father, come over here. We have to play!"
Isabella didn't stay in front of him anymore and turned around before walking off to the kids as if she heard nothing. Silas gave them a dissapointed look to intervene in their private time but however they stick were his beloved kids.
The kids were all sitting in a circle. A bottle was at the center as their play tool. When Isabella came over to join them, she frowned wandering about the game that the children prepared for them. Silas later joined in with a broad smile hanging on his face. He chuckled while sitting down,
" What are we playing, Lara?"
Lara explained excitedly, rolling the bottle on the ground,
" Truth & Dare! One of us will roll the bottle and if it ends up pointing at you or someone else, the chooser needs to choose truth or dare. But the task will be given by anyone from us."
Silas narrowed his eyes,
" But it is an adults play. You are kids."
Lara protested grumbling at him lowly,
" I am not kid anymore, I am 7 now."
Silas was speechless and Isabella couldn't help but laughing out loud. Hence the game started soon with Lara who just rolled the bottle. The bottle indicated at Isabella who wasn't expecting that and was little taken back by the outcome. She looked around blankly and Lara's cheering voice echoed through the courtyard,
" It's the new Aunty. Yay! Father, you are big like her. So you should ask her."
Silas was more than glad to that since he could see her getting nervous slowly. He held down the bottle with his one hand and pulled his eyes up to lay on her before asking,
" Truth or Dare, Princess!"
The atmosphere suddenly turned heavy between them. Isabella didn't understand why the game was giving the serious vibe now. She gulped a little and answered after a moment of hesitation,
" T.. Truth.."
Her response brought a smirk on Silas's face who wasn't breaking their eye contact. His fingers tapped on the bottle lightly as his thoughts wandered for the perfect question. He questioned in a long, thoughtful look,
" Is someone from Richalwolf Land made your heart flutter ever?"
Isabella was startled by his question. Until now, she assumed that Silas was just being over friendly with her. But now the question was so obvious and the look on his eyes explained so much more. A woman has the by born ability to read a man's eyes. After the question, she could see through the emotions, the eagerness in his eyes evidently. She swallowed hard. It wasn't like she was in love with him but there was many times when her heart raced around him. She liked his company but that didn't mean that she could give her life a second chance. Someone like her wasn't worthy of Duke Silas.
However she couldn't lie in front this innocent child. She looked away to avoid his eyes and whispered lowly,
" Ye..Yes.."
Silas on the other hand startled by her response. When he just thought of asking her randomly, he didn't expect that he would be rewarded with such sweet confession. His smile broadened further as he urged Lara enthusiastically to continue the play,
" Baby Lara, Keep playing!"
Lara nodded happily, flipped the bottle one more time and this time it was pointing at Silas. Even the luck was on their favour this time. Silas didn't seem happy with him being the chooser. Because this time, Isabella would definitely ask him questions since she was the eldest here and had more knowledge than this kids.
Isabella spoke on her own while stopping the bottle with her one hand,
" I will ask questions to Duke Silas, is it okay?"
Silas visibly tensed up and nodded with a nervous smile,
" Ye...Yes..Why not?,"
Isabella hummed softly starting,
" Truth or dare?"
Silas was going to choose dare but he ended up changing midway to avoid any trouble,
" Truth!"
Isabella smirked cunningly and began to roll the bottle again before asking,
" Have you ever kissed any girl from your castle?"
