Chapter 39: Guest at the castle
Cedric smiled at her words. She loved pushing his buttons, and maybe it was among the reasons she still had her head intact because she was not scared of the devil one bit.
Despite having a very delicate body, any man would desire and be the famous talentless daughter of the Vesper duchy and Nightshade family.
Abrielle was single till the age of 20, which was weird as noble ladies get married as early as 9 years old. The majority of ladies her age were already mothers, but yet she was the crazy noble lady who insisted on getting married to him, declining every other suitor while he was at war.
It took a lot of effort for her family to be able to get the royal decree for their marriage. The king was hesitant to marry his first son to such a prestigious family, knowing the amount of political support they could offer Cedric and even offer to make Abrielle the crown prince’s fiance.
Lady Abrielle still insisted on Cedric despite being given such an offer every other noble lady wished for. After all that, the same Abrielle suddenly decided that she didn’t want to get married to Cedric anymore.
Imagine how absurd that sounds. Cedric swallowed hard as his eyes took in her image and traced her every curve with his eyes. A seductive red witch was what he would describe her. A poison he should not taste. Before Cedric could come up with a retort there was a loud knock sound on the door.
His eyes furrowed as he glared at the door. He sat up, brushing his long fingers through his dark hair, which was as dark as a starless night, with a low groan leaving his lips.
Cedric got up from the bed and went towards the door. Abrielle had no idea who was at the door or what they were saying until Cedric dismissed the person and turned back to look inside the room.
He was stunned to realize that Abrielle was waiting by his side with her blue eyes staring at him curiously. "We are having guests during breakfast." He informed her then pulled her closer by her hand to steal a quick kiss from her lips as their mouth met shortly.
