Loved By a Vampire King

Ayra was excited to hear about her plan. She kept staring at Jessie unblinkingly who really found it very thoughtful from Ayra's perspective. Earlier in the past, no one showed any interest to visit their mother's grave. Now that she was actually willing to let them reunited with their mother, Jessie was eager to help her out. Hopefully Ayra could find out from them.

Jessie dropped the cup down from her palms and reasoned looking absolutely serious about the matter,

" Actually our grandparents might hate us all but they can't turn down you since you're their grand-daughter- in-law. I believe that you have the ability to convince them."

Ayra was bit shocked by her words. She wasn't mentally prepared to meet someone who didn't like her husband but at the same time, she was scared that she would anger Cedric by going to this extent. But thinking about Isabella and Jessie who couldn't even visit the grave for years, her heart encouraged her to give it a chance. Ayra always believed in family, gathering and a lot more staffs. Though the first few years of her life was spent in lonely caves, she found the strong bond after reuniting with her family. Nothing could be more stronger than having a peaceful family as your support.

Jessie seemed to see through her hesitation. She sighed looking aside sadly,

" If you don't want to take the risk, you can actually.."

" No, I would love to do that.", Ayra's promising voice cut off her words. She continued thinking about every possibilities deeply,

" Actually I can go with you but his highness..I don't think he will allow us to leave."

Jessie nodded with understanding and smiled at her mischievously. She knew each and every corner of this palace. If she wanted to escape, no one could stop her from going. Jessie assured bringing the other glass on her lips,

" Cedric doesn't need to know. If you can really find the exact location, he won't naturally scold us anymore."

Ayra nodded with a smile,

" Sounds good to me! When are you planning to visit them? I can't go alone without your assistance."

Jessie pondered in deep thoughts and replied after taking a glimpse of outside,

" I think, we should go two days later. The village has festival on that day. We can get mingled with the crowd easily."

Ayra nodded her head gently and responded affirmatively,

" I have no objections. Let me know when you decide to go so that I can give him any excuse to leave from the palace."

The two settled down after few talks and decided to meet the grandparents on the day of festival. Since Cedric wasn't willing to work on any relationship that existed around him, Ayra had taken the initiative to fix everything hopefully. But she didn't know that everything wasn't supposed to go with her plans.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth was living a very boring life in Dixon Palace. In her home, she used to do a lot of chores but here, Ayra didn't let her do anything except playing cards with her occasionally. She appreciated their hostility but a woman who loved to work wasn't comfortable with such life.

Elizabeth had learnt to study through her father. To kill her leisure time, she headed for the general library that everyone was allowed to use in Dixon Palace. The library was located away from the living quarters especially to maintain the quality time of silence. The environment was quite since no noises reached on that side.

Elizabeth took some long steps into the library. Spotting the series of old books, she walked at the corner to pick few books from there but a sudden voice interrupted her action,

" It seems like you are spending a boring time here."

Elizabeth turned around in a swift and spotted Alexander in the middle. She was so engrossed in her own thoughts that his existence didn't bother her instinct. He was seated with a book in his hand. The cold look on his eyes were evident but a hint of smile could be seen on his expression as if he was happy to see her here. Legs crossed over the tea table,his imposture was looking quite comfortable.

This days, Elizabeth avoided him like a jinx. Mostly she avoided being alone with him and kept a milestone distance from him intentionally. She didn't wish to become an emotional toy for him. She was far more willing to stay away rather than getting hurt too deeply until she had no way out of recovering herself anymore.

Elizabeth didn't answer to his question and hurried in selecting the books for herself. Alexander knitted his brows together angrily. Once she decided to step out of the library, his voice rang out as command,

" Wait!! I want you to do something for me!"

Elizabeth growled inside and turned around to cast him a questioning glare. Alexander shrugged raising one of his eyebrows playfully,

" What are you looking at? Don't forget that I am the crown prince? You should treat me with respect."

Elizabeth badly wished that she could punch at his face right at that moment. She knew that he was delibaretly making the things difficult for her but she wasn't going to have him the joy of satisfaction. Elizabeth replied through her gritted teeth,

" What do you want me to do, Crown Prince?"

Alexander raised his chin arrogantly. Pointing at the book that was placed inside the shelf, he ordered coldly,

" Give me that book from shelf. I can't get up."

Elizabeth held back the urge of rolling her eyes. Postponing the idea of skipping him for a while, she compelled his order and brought the book for him. But instead of getting closer, she dropped the book at the edge of his table. Once again, she attempted to leave the room but was stopped by his loud, angry voice,

" Did I ask you to leave?"
