His Witch Queen-Chapter 160: Army or Alice?

The voice pulled the attention of both. Alice and King Vilas turned around to look at the source of the voice and it was very much intended that there was no one else but Cyrus.

At this point, Alice melted her heart racing inside her chest. ’What is the heading here?’ She was highly uncertain and this increased her alarms.

She wasn’t sure about his presence but it made her mind go through another level of easiness. Stress started to burst in her brain like a maniac.

While Alice’s worried gaze traveled to see Cyrus, King Vilas looked much more annoyed. "What are you doing here? And how did you come here?" King Vilas asked, with an evident sour tone.

In response, Cyrus took a few steps. His eyes were still at King, no tearing away, "You forget that I’m a vampire. You have been declaring me as one, but have you forgotten that except that I’m a blood sucker, there are other qualities too?"

"Such as?"

"Such as, my hearing ability is high. Moreover, I can fly, unlike all the vampires. So, you can now understand that I’m here for you." Cyrus didn’t finch back from his words and tone.

This made Alice’s heart cluster all in the cage. She held Cyrus’s shoulders firmly, while she pressed them to gain his attention. "Go away from here..I’m doing.. what I need to do..." Alice whispered into Cyrus’s ears.

She was passing him a piercing gaze, in the hurry to chase him away from the palace. But it seemed she was quiet because Cyrus had other plans.

His eyes sought access to see Alice once and then, back at King Vilas, "Ahe might be your daughter and you have all the rights. But right now, you are shouting at my wife because she is taking my stand. And I can’t hear anyone raising their voice on my wife."

"You are acting too protective towards someone who isn’t even yours, Prince Cyrus." King Vilas sneered but it brought a chuckle from Cyrus’s lips, "I’m only taking a stand for someone who is mine. I don’t like to bait my eyes on unnecessary things."

"You should leave." was all that King Vilas said when he felt that Cyrus was crossing the line. However, in response, he received a negative hook from the vampire.

He was stubborn and the glint in those eyes was passionate. There was no way Cyrus would leave until his motive was achieved.

While Cyrus’s, as well as King Vilas’s minds, worked in the same pathway, Alice’s had more to interfere with. She was worried as nervousness consumed her. She was afraid that Cyrus might break all the ways and the small emotions that she had ignited in her father.

However, before she could have even stopped him, it was King Vilas who told her, "Alice, a man-to-man talk is much needed. You should leave and wait for us inside."

"B-But."

"I said what I want, Alice." King Vilas breaching eyes shifted their attention to Alice, "Obey them peacefully so that I can talk with this...vampire husband of yours for once." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Alice was reluctant. She wanted to stay. But to her dismay, Cyrus too motioned her to leave with an assured smile that he would handle the conversation better.

She was highly doubtful, but Alice still made her way back into her castle. For once, she had decided to move far away from the garden, in the hope she would not hear a single word. Seeing both of them getting into a word battle was the last sight to witness.

As Cyrus saw her leaving from above his shoulders, he once again saw his father-in-law, who was in much angry, "What do you not know, KING Vilas?"

"You changed my daughter, didn’t you?" King Vilas’s question was out of context, but this was still bringing a wide’s grin, "I’m pleased to know that I have such an impact on your daughter. Otherwise, I would have thought that she is still a stubborn lady like you."

But the mode didn’t lighten up right here.

King Vilas’s gaze contained heaviness in them so he further asked, "Tell me, what do you want from me right now, Prince Cyrus?"

Hearing the question, Cyrus straightened up his shoulder and lifted his chin up, "I want your daughter, Alice, and your army to fight and to maintain peace."

KING Vilas’s brows lifted upwards, "Peace? How?"

To this, Prince Cyrus didn’t show much of his emotions but still narrated with smile words, trying to give insight into the large disaster that can be caused if King Almen struck him, "King Almen is planning to kill you and snatch away your kingdom."

"If I become the king of the Gazelle Kingdom, the ties between our both kingdoms will serve better than ever in the century. Your Kingdom will prevail, and so will mine. Moreover, if I die, which is very rare, your and King Almen’s fight is obvious."

"Destruction lives lost and ultimately, you will die because you will not have any major power, unlike what King Almen right now possesses," Cyrus told him in much detail and King Vilas nodded his head.

"....And in the end, the same level of power which he has, is in you."

"Correct."

King Villas can’t believe his ears. The fact that he had married his daughter to such a cunning man. ’He is surely calculative and very convincing..’ he knew exactly what King Vilas wants to listen to and what will induce him to lend him his ways.

But still, King Vilas’s cards weren’t over yet. His brows raised with the smitten smirk,as the wrong idea dwelled in his mind.

"Alright, you want my army? Then, I will give you two options, Cyrus. Select one. My army or....my daughter?"
