The lights in the Banquet Hall were suddenly turned off, except for the one near the entrance door. The remaining light focused on a lady wearing a red gown, her long wavy hair cascading down her waist.
Her beauty was ethereal. All eyes were focused on her, most especially Cedric's. The woman looked very familiar. She was not the Stella whom he saved from the vampires.
After a while, Cedric finally recognized the woman whom Dominique called Princess Stella. 'Wait! That's Marceline Zhou! What is she doing here?'
The murmuring of the other guests in the banquet hall could be heard.
"Oh my gosh! Is that our Princess Stella?"
"She has a great resemblance to our Queen. There is no doubt! She is our werewolf princess!"
"I want to see her wolf form!"
"Me too. I wonder what the color of her fur is! Is she as big as Prince Dylan once in wolf form?"
"Is she strong as well?"
"She looks fragile and weak to me."
"Hey, stop saying that. She might hear you!"
Marceline, also known as Princess Stella, became the center of attention for tonight's banquet. Many werewolves were amazed to see her. She was the most beautiful woman in the banquet and werewolves were hoping that one of them could be the werewolf princess's mate. It was the wishful thinking of the men inside that banquet hall.
"How could this be possible? What is going on here?" Cedric was still confused, his eyes fixed on Marceline's beautiful face.
Cedric just found himself walking towards her. He needed to know what happened. Was this some kind of scheme? Where was the Stella they saved before?
Cedric was about to grab Marceline when someone captured his hand. "Don't you dare touch my sister!" A stern cold voice was heard.
Cedric's body stiffened after hearing that familiar voice. When he turned to look at him, Cedric's eyes widened in stupefaction.
'Dylan?! He is still alive!' Cedric's expression had a mix of shock and anger. How could this happen? Dylan was alive and he returned to the Kingdom of Phantasia together with Marceline who was now introduced by Dominique as Stella, the missing werewolf princess?!
'Where did everything go wrong?' Cedric asked his own self as he watched Dylan in disbelief.
On the other hand, Dylan was enjoying the surprised look on Cedric's face. He didn't expect to see Dylan tonight. This was a great shock to him.
"Game over, Cedric. You will never be the King!" Dylan whispered to him, tightening his grip on Cedric's hand. The werewolf fighters were now surrounding him. No escape route for Cedric.
Since Cedric hadn't recovered his wits yet, he failed to notice that he was completely surrounded by other werewolf fighters. They were there to catch him.
Dominique still had an important announcement related to Cedric Morgan, his beloved werewolf general.
Princess Stella (Marceline) stood next to Dylan as she faced Cedric with her head held high. This guy was the one who killed her adopted parents in the Zhou Family. She wanted to punish him. She would like to see him suffer.
"I have another important announcement. Since everyone is here... I want to move on to a serious matter." Dominique continued talking.
"As of today, I hereby declare that I am stripping Cedric Morgan as my werewolf general. He will no longer be my General. He committed a serious crime. He tried to assassinate my son, Dylan! And as punishment, he will be sent to the underground prison and suffer daily torture until he dies!"
After Dominique announced those things, the werewolf fighters along with Dylan, captured Cedric, immobilizing him. They would not allow him to fight back!
"No! That was a lie! You can't do this to me, my King!" Cedric tried to struggle as he pleaded innocent. "You don't have proof! Someone is framing me!" Cedric tried to feign innocence, convincing Dominique.
"My words are the proof!" Dylan declared, giving him a mocking smile.
"And so my words," Marceline added, supporting Dylan's claim.
Everyone gasped after hearing this revelation. They didn't expect that Cedric Morgan, their strongest werewolf general would commit such a crime. Killing the werewolf prince? That was unforgivable!
"No! I didn't," Cedric tried his best to break the chain. He was caught off guard and he failed to avoid the sneaky attack of the werewolf fighters.
With the help of Dylan, they were able to chain Cedric's hands, feet, and neck using magical silver chains that would stop him from transforming into his wolf form.
Cedric could be a troublesome fellow once he transformed into his wolf form. So they sealed his wolf right away through these magical silver chains. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
Cedric fell to his knees, grinding his teeth. He thought he was one step closer to his goal of becoming a Werewolf King when Dominique agreed to his request. But who would have thought that he already planned on capturing him?
Dylan returned so Dominique found out what he did to his son. After a while, Cedric's sinister laughter echoed in the banquet hall. He didn't want to admit defeat but he was in a hopeless situation. He let his guard down.
"It's now time to pay for your sin," Marceline mumbled, giving him a sharp look.
"This is not the end, Marceline. I will get out of prison. And once I escape... get yourself ready. I'm coming for you! I will get you no matter what!"
Dylan punched Cedric's face. He wouldn't allow this man to touch even a strand of hair of his twin sister. "I will kill you first!" Dylan declared to him.
"Get him out of here! Bring him to the prison cell now!" Dylan ordered the guards.
Cedric just sneered at the twins. "You will regret this. I will make everyone pay for betraying me!" Cedric declared to them. He turned to look at his Werewolf King, Dominique.
'I will kill the Silvano Family and annihilate everyone who is loyal to them!" Cedric swore to himself as he left the banquet hall. He was now being escorted to the underground prison cell of the castle.
When Cedric was delivered to the prison cell, Dominique announced the continuation of the banquet and the celebration of the return of Dylan and Stella.
