Chapter 246: Returning a favour

Chapter 246: Returning a favour

Cedric was in an awfully good mood today; if it is possible he would have hummed, but if he did that, Elias would probably die of a heart attack.

Cedric and Elias made their way to The grand garden close to the banquet hall. From a distance, he could already hear the ruckus ahead. He was tempted to smile but unfortunately, his smile was reserved for just a few

The servants, alongside the entire family, were already there. Some guests that were staying in the castle for the festival were also present. Everything was perfect, Cedric thought. Elias reduced his speed the closer Cedric got to the centre of the commotion.

He could already hear a familiar crying sound. "How dare you?!" He heard a masculine voice bark angrily; this was the biggest humiliation of his life.

"I didn’t mean to; I am sorry, Eris..." Another voice cried, choking at her words, but how was she going to salvage the situation?

Everyone’s eyes were on her, Astrid was on the floor by the side of a fountain in the garden. Her clothes scattered all over the fountain while she curled up on the floor reaching out for General Eris’s shoes. Her husband.

She hugged her dress close to her chest, but everyone was more than privileged to see the body of the princess in full display.

Not too far away, a male servant who was attending to guests during the banquet was kneeling on the ground, begging for his life; obviously, he was equally naked.

Everyone who has eyes could already figure out what happened here. Astrid had cheated on her husband by shamelessly having sex with a lowly servant in such an open place.

The princess was equally confused about what happened, but this morning, close to dawn, a maid screamed out her heart when she saw the princess entangled with the servant, moaning her heart out. There was no denying it; the culprits were both covered in hickeys, and semen was literally leaking from the princess’s vagina.

Eris kicked her hand away, moving backwards. He was too embarrassed and shocked. Last night, during the banquet, Astrid had gone missing; he searched for her to no avail and later settled on the thought that she was with the queen, her mother, but he wasn’t expecting this.

It was not a duke, count or any noble, not even the least knight, but a servant. "Don’t come close to me," he warned her. Astrid’s eyes stung with tears, her voice choking. She tried to reach out for the general as she stood up the dress he clung onto to cover her bosom slipped a bit exposing them

There was a round of gasp, Astrid realized and quickly tried to cover up against her while she tried to reach for her husband.

Eris gritted his teeth, slapping her across the face. She fell on the floor. "Mother," a young voice cried out.

Astrid glanced at her daughter, who was being held by Bernice and looked away in shame. Eleanor could not bear to watch any more. She ran between Astrid and Eris covering up her daughter with her cloak.

Kaiden was embarrassed, his jaw clenched. He clicked his tongue and then left the scene with his entourage. They had guests from different nations, and they all got to see his eldest daughter’s nakedness.

"Eris, please, I am sorry.." she begged, tears running down her cheeks. Cedric could not help but laugh at the situation. His chuckle was low.

Everyone was invested in the scene. They didn’t notice Cedric except for one person. "I find it odd you enjoy this scene, brother." A particular voice that has been getting on his nerves chimed.

Cedric didn’t bother to glance at Alfonso who decided to stand by his side. "Why won’t I laugh at my haters getting a dish of what they served?" Cedric shrugged

"It is odd to call Astrid a hater when we all know she is far from that." Alfonso sneered, his eyes going back to the drama that was playing out.

"Why do I have a feeling that you had a hand in this?" Alfonso added Cedric’s expression didn’t change the slightest.

Did he have something to do with this? Yes, it was a little favour he was returning. Cedric patiently waited for a perfect day like this.

"Please don’t ever call my name with such familiarity again. " Eris snapped at her; his marriage with Astrid was political, but he still did his best to win her heart, knowing they were stuck together.

Yet Astrid never returned her love. He always knew she had someone in her heart. His eyes drew to Cedric who watched the scene like he was enjoying a theatrical

"That is enough, we will settle this as a family." Eleanor interfered. Eris’s eyes darkened.

"I don’t think we can ever call each other family. Astrid must pay for this humiliation. She had dishonoured my family in front of everyone not to forget the fact that Diana looks nothing like me "A round of gasps echoed in the crowd

Astrid’s daughter, Diana’s face went pale.." Father, what are you saying? " The girl gasped, her voice shaking.

"I have stayed silent for way too long, hiding Astrid’s infidelity, not again." Eris’s words stunned everyone except Cedric. Yes, Astrid’s daughter was not Eris. Eleanor had forced Astrid to stay with Eris to hide the truth behind her pregnancy.

The sound of skin striking against each echoed. Eleanor was fuming her face red with anger. "How dare you speak vile of your wife?" She spat out furious.

"You mean the same wife that was publicly having sex with a servant. Your Majesty, I understand your concerns for Astrid, but the deed has already been done. It is either she is trailed, and we both know that won’t end up well, or my family would handle her and the servant." Eris boldly said

If Astrid goes to trial, it would lead to her death as she not only committed adultery but also humiliated the kingdom.

"Mother, please save me; I am sorry...." Astrid burst into tears begging. Eleanor loved her children but she could not always protect them.

Her hands clutched her dress. "Fine, the Silverheart family can handle it themselves." She chose the safer option..as long as there is life there is hope. Astrid broke down upon hearing her mother’s words.
