Elizabeth narrowed her gaze suspiciously at Alexander whose expression took a massive change within a flash moment. His nostrils were stressed out, eyes darkened in deep thoughts as if he was trying to figure out something in his mind. Even he forgot to notice that they were standing at the middle of entrance awkwardly.

Elizabeth cleared her throat, bringing his attention back into reality and muttered politely,

" Brother..Alex..We should enter inside the palace."

Alexander hummed softly, dismissed his suspicious thoughts momentarily and agreed before picking his pace into the palace,

" Right! Sister should be around here."

Both of them entered together and found Isabella right at the hallway. She was instructing the maids to prepare two rooms for their guests as soon as possible. Cedric had informed before going out that they were expecting Alexander's arrival soon.

Alexander came to stand behind Isabella and greeted after giving her a long respective bow,

" Princess! "

Isabella returned him a big smile and greeted back respectfully,

" Prince Alexander! You are here finally. We were expecting your visit. Welcome to Basarisk. I hope that you had a safe journey."

Isabella spoke and shifted her curious eyes on Elizabeth who was standing closer to Alexander. Noticing her curious gaze, Alexander introduced after clearing his throat,

" This is Elizabeth Castillo, Sister Ayra's good friend."

Isabella nodded with a smile and saw her bowing courteously. She exclaimed excitedly, having so many people in the palace,

" I am so glad that Ayra will have someone to accompany him. Now it seems like a big Royal Palace. I was getting too bored here alone. "

Elizabeth received a great admiration for Isabella. After chatting with her for a while, she figured out that Isabella was nothing like arrogant princess. Instead of showing high class attitude, she was delighted that there were many people to live in their palace.

Few moments later, Cedric reached over there with Ayra following her in. As soon as they stepped in, Ayra yelled out excitedly rushing towards Alexander,

" Brother Alex! "

Alexander turned around with a wide smile and pulled her into a tight hug. He mumbled without caring who were watching over them,

" I missed you! "

Ayra grinned mumbling back lowly,

" I missed all of you."

The siblings were so emotional that they didn't even break apart after a while. Someone who was jealous over her brother came to give them a red signal,

" Well, the hug must be suffocating."

Cedric's voice came out from back with a hint of jealousy. Alexander left her embrace and chuckled bowing at Cedric slightly,

" Your Highness! My sister is yours anyways. This burning should reduce now."

Cedric liked the tag of claiming her but a discomfort was still lingering inside his heart unnecessarily. Forcing a calm smile on his face, he greeted back shooting everyone a look,

" Welcome to Dixon Palace, Prince Alexander. We are very much honoured to have you here."

Alexander smiled before looking down at Ayra to ask worriedly,

" Where is aunt Siemus?"

Ayra explained the incident shortly and took both of them upstairs. She was glad to have her family here but unfortunately her happiness was temporary.

Cedric watched how happily his wife fled away from there without caring about his others. Suddenly he had a worry that if Alexander and that girl stayed any longer, all his attention would be snatched away.

Isabella didn't miss the dissapointed look on Cedric's eyes. A satisfied smile formed on her lips when she realized that her stone cold hearted brother actually began to care for someone's emotions deeply.

Isabella laughed softly and spoke approaching him closer,

" She is always with you, brother. Let her spend time with them now. How did the investigation go on?"

Cedric heard her asking about the incident that happened in Norst. His lips pursued together to spill out the truth but suddenly his eyes fell on her growing stomach. Cedric swallowed down his words and replied skipping the topic trickily,

" Soon we will find out! How is your health now, Sister?"

Cedric's words reminded her about their aunt Shelly who was sleeping in her room. Isabella replied excitedly,

" Shit! I forgot to inform you! Aunt Shelly is here with us. She has suggested me to go with her in Richalwolf Land. After hearing about the sudden attack from Davina, she was concerned."

Cedric narrowed his gaze unhappily. Walking over the couch to lay down, he replied letting out a scoff,

" Not a chance! She doesn't live with shining armours around her that she can keep you protected, sister. Dismiss the idea! "

Isabella drew a deep breath helplessly. She was quite expectant of this answer and turned around to walk over to him. She pulled out the last trump card of convincing him slowly,

" Cedric! You know that I am going through a difficult phase of pregnancy. Richalwolf Land has more effective physicians than us. Besides no one will ever know that I am going to live in there. I don't see no harm here. Besides aunt cares about us a lot, you know that."

As expected, Cedric's face stiffened a little at the mention of her complicated pregnancy. Going through a lot of hesitations, he agreed after letting out a straight answer,

" Fine if it is your wish but..you are going stay in the supervision of their Royal Family. I am sending a letter to Richalwolf Land's king today. You and aunt Shelly will live under their supervision."

Isabella sighed out helplessly. Having no choice but to agree with his arrangements, she replied shortly,

" As you wish then, it's settled. I am going in."

Upstairs, Alexander was attempting to heal Siemus but everytime his powers unleashed, it was shoved back into his body forcefully. He felt that there was some invisible powers that were stopping him to perform his magic here and it felt quite powerful than his magic.

Alexander barked out worryingly,

" What is happening? Why can't I use my own powers?"
