Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211: You Should Have Died

Late at night, the moonlight glinted in the stream that was frozen solid. However, the tranquility was disrupted when a figure suddenly broke through the surface with a refreshing breath.

This was no other than Aldric who had gone to the stream to ’calm down’. It was quite hilarious in the sense that he had mocked Issac for being cockedteased by Maxi and now, here he was sharing the same punishment.

He walked fluidly out of the stream, pushing back his wet blackish-blue hair matted to his face and rivulets of water flowing down his body. It was a good thing Islinda was not here to see this, she would have suffered a nosebleed because Aldric was stark naked and he wasn’t one bit bothered that anyone could walk into the scene.

His powerful body was fully on display and Aldric looked relaxed in his environment. A certain sizable part of his body had finally cooled off after spending quite a while playing dead beneath a frozen stream. Had it been a human who attempted the same stunt, they would have drowned or died from hypothermia. But that wasn’t the case with Aldric who was chilling in his element; he was unaffected by the cold.

He squeezed the rest of the water out of his hair and picked his pants from the branch of a tree where he hung it. Aldric had just finished putting on his pants when he heard the flapping of wings and the next, a raven perched on his shoulder with ease as if this was not the first time it executed such a move.

"Hello, my babies," Aldric spoke to it like an old friend. At first, it sounded like he was speaking to just the raven, but a flock of the crows perched on various branches of the tree while a few soared through the sky, circling the area where Aldric stood, their sleek feathers glistening in the moonlight.

Their presence was menacing but Aldric was at best comfortable and looked delighted with them. The one on his shoulder cawed loudly and Aldric patted its head as if he understood the creature.

"Sorry that I haven’t visited for a while, I have been quite busy, which of course you know, since you have been spying on our new friend. Speaking of our new friend, tell me, what do you think of her?" Aldric asked, finally making a move as the birds followed after him, always ensuring he wasn’t out of their sight.

The raven cawed intelligently and Aldric laughed aloud," She’s ugly? What an interesting perspective. But then, no one is more pretty than my babies," He stroked their ego and what followed next was the birds cawing in the trees.

"However, you have a message for me," Aldric pointed out, staring down at the small paper wedged in between the Raven’s talon on his shoulder. He took it.

Rolling open the paper, he went through the message written on it and snorted in response, before scrunching the paper into a small ball and throwing it behind him without care.

"Interesting. It seems we are going to have visitors tomorrow. Do tell my brother that I would be awaiting his arrival, would you?" Aldric instructed the bird, tenderly stroking the side of its head while peering into its intelligent eye.

The raven who seemed to be in charge turned on Aldric’s shoulder and cawed loudly as if instructing the others as it flapped its wings and the next, the unkindness of Ravens took off, leaving Aldric all by himself.
