Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94: Not Trusting Aldric

What does he want from her? Islinda’s mind was all over the place. Just because Aldric flirted with her and pretended to be easygoing tonight doesn’t mean he has let go of his not-so-secret agendas. He had ulterior motives for bringing her to this party and it was to harm Valerie, she believed.

However, if what the Fae guards said about Valerie, then it wasn’t going to be easy killing the crown prince. Aldric harming Valerie would be treason against the crown and as strong as Aldric was, he wouldn’t be able to fight against an army of Fae coming for him.

Perhaps, she was thinking too much and needed to take a breather. Who knows, Aldric was only trying to torment her? But why? She had taken good care of him in the human realm. But then, does the psychopathic Fae need a reason for the things that he does?

Islinda needed to relax and entering the grand hall was just the remedy she needed as her mouth fell open at the awe-inspiring surroundings. The room was very large and breathtaking with its soaring ceilings, and exquisite chandeliers lit with strange lights. It was decorated with precious stones, magical artifacts, and rare flowers and plants. The decorative paintings must be enchanted because they moved, depicting stunning scenes and memories.

Her mind was blown away but it was just the beginning. The grand ballroom was full of colors with the Faeries dressed in loud and striking attires. To be honest, Islinda was moderately dressed compared to the majority of the female Faeries she had seen here. It seems their kind has no problem with showing skin.

There were many courts of Fae nobles, attendants, and magical creatures present and for the first time, Islinda found out there were Faeries with different complexion and features too. One Fae was blue-skinned and it took everything in Islinda not to go over and touch his skin to see if the color rubbed off. Another Fae was luminant you would think she was only made of light.

Another set of Faeries were dark-skinned; purple-skinned; the last of them shimmered. Other notable Faeries had horns on their head; some with grooves instead of feet; Faeries with tails on their butt; finally, ones with breathtaking scales on various parts of their skin.

"Wow.... Wow.... Wow...." Islinda gushed out at the beauty, magic, and mystery of the Fae realm. It was breathtaking. No, explosive! If any of her family had lived to see her enjoy this luxury, they would have gone mad with jealousy.

Islinda didn’t even notice leaving Aldric’s side, her feet leading her to the middle of the room as she took in her surroundings open-mouthed, like a novice. She could absorb the beauty of this place all night and would not even get tired.

Refreshments were being passed around and instead of Fae servers, it was done by a pixie. Islinda’s eyes widened at the sight, she had often heard of the small, mischievous fairies from the bedtime stories, and seeing one, in reality, was like a dream come true.

So many of her dreams were coming true, tonight. Dear gods, what was she going to do? She wanted to scream! Jump! Do everything all at once! She was elevated.

To make it even better, one of the creatures no taller than three feet flew towards her with a tray in hand.

"Burgundy wine," The pixie said with its high-pitched voice pushing the wine in her face.

Islinda had to lean back from the sudden intrusion, and stared at the creature, wondering how its small body was able to carry the drink. The pixie wore clothing made from leaves and its fairy wings flapped as it hovered in the air, waiting for her response.
