Esme smiled at her little girl contendedly. She only wished that Ayra wouldn't discriminate herself in the future for being different from others. A princess needed to feel powerful if she wanted to survive in her kingdom proudly. That's what Esme's father had always been taught her in her childhood.
Athena had a smile of gratitude playing on her lips upon watching the warm interaction between her daughter and Esme. She couldn't pay the gratitude in this life which she had for Esme. Even if Ayra chose to acknowledge Esme as her mother for the entire lifetime, she had no objections on that. As long as Ayra stayed safe and sound, Athena was fine with anything.
Behind him, Ron forgot how to react in such a situation. It was like God had granted his wishes even before he asked. His happiness flooded eyes fell on Esme who was busy in cuddling Ayra in her arms. He couldn't be less happier in this matter that Ethan was willing to pair them up. He smiled gleefully at the thought of watching Esme in a wedding gown.
Feeling contended, he walked over to Esme's side and joined together in this happy moment. As long as he could be together with Esme, nothing else mattered to him. Athena still held doubts towards Ron's relationship with Esme. Watching them getting closer, Athena felt a little uneasy and secretly felt worried for her brother.
He was already guilty, betrayer in Esme's eyes. Now there was another rival between his journey of winning back Esme?
At a certain corner, Queen Melinda stood freezingly and didn't had the gut to approach them boldly. Her guilts towards her own children were beyond forgiveness. Even if she fell on her knees and begged forgiveness, she perhaps wouldn't get their mercy. She dwelled in her thoughts and finally left the courtroom with heaviness in her heart. She not only let her daughter down. Her death child, Edward had also been wronged by her unknowingly. If she saw through the child's origin, perhaps today they would all live happily ever after.
Katherine's Mother expression dropped once she noticed the change in Melinda's face. She could assume that Melinda had softened her impression towards the little girl. Katherine kept cursing beside her ears ogling at the happy family,
" Mother.. have you seen that? They..they all are actually together going to raise up that cursed child. What will happen to my child then?"
Katherine's Mother hissed annoyingly and blurted through her gritted teeth,
" First you figure out how to clear off this mess that you are carrying in then dream on. Ethan didn't have accepted this bastard child of yours as his own, what are you blabbering about?"
After giving another harsh glare, Katherine's mother huffed and went back into the castle without accompanying Katherine. Katherine's face darkened in anger. She fisted the hem of her clothes tightly and mumbled angrily,
" When I become the queen, I will abandon you just like today mother."
She shot another glare to Athena hatefully and stomped inside the castle angrily. In no way, she would let Athena marrying Ethan. The position of queen and Ethan all belonged to her only!
Amidst this new happiness, the person who was left with nothing was Anna. Standing distant away from them, her eyes flashed with complicated thoughts and bizarre emotions. She didn't know how she left the courtroom and hid herself inside a tiny room of white castle.
No matter what, she couldn't reveal the truth anymore! She wasn't a princess who could be accepted by the world easily nor did her....child!
_MOONSHINE CASTLE_
Metal bars cracked together loudly scaring off the bruised man inside who was breathing between reality and dream. Hearing the door being opened and finally the daylight was crawling inside this dark,dull space, Zave lifted his head up slightly.
He had been tortured ruthlessly by the guards. No matter how many times he begged to just kill him off, the guards refused and continued torturing his weak body viciously. Jasper came in his sight and spoke with a dangerous smile,
" Lord has summoned you in the courtyard, Zave."
Zave felt his entire body getting numb after knowing Aaron's order. He could see his death coming closer but he just wandered about how Aaron would manage him today.
Without caring about his response, Jasper dragged out his fragile body out of prison and took him forcibly on the discerned spot. Zave howled pleadingly but Jasper showed no mercy. He kept pressing on his fresh bruises more and more intentionally. A betrayer like him didn't deserve to get mercied by anyone.
Zave was thrown in front of a standing man who stood emitting his dominant aura around.Looking up at him, Zave's face terrified when he saw the deadly look of Aaron. His dark volcanic eyes were laying on him as if they would suck his soul out anytime soon.
Zave didn't delay a minute after meeting his death. He crawled over the ground and hugged Aaron's legs tightly while pleading desperately,
" My Lord.. Please forgive me..I..I was wrong...I just got greedy.. Please pardon me..I have served you for so many years..Have mercy on me, My Lord. I won't ever betray you anymore."
Aaron stood there unmoving and looked down blankly at his pleading silhouette. His icy voice came out lowly,
" Who has worked with you? Spit it out in case my mind changes the decision of punishing you."
Zave immediately sobered up. Without any hesitation, he blurted out everything truthfully,
" Van.. Vanessa..and Queen Mother...They have helped...me..."
Aaron was stunned upon hearing the mention of Queen Mother. His fists clenched aside together to suppress the rage. He just didn't expect that his mother would stoop so low to control his life.
Looking back at Zave murderously, Aaron inquired again coldly,
" What has queen mother done so far? Say everything to me."
Under Aaron's dagger like eyes, Zave had no choice but to reveal every single details that he remembered. From the incident of Edward's death, planning to push him the herbal medicine which could control thoughts, Zave explained every single matter clearly in this hope that Aaron could spare his life.
Aaron's face darkened more and more dangerously when each incident buzzed in his eardrums disbelievingly. He couldn't believe that his mother had killed someone innocent just to cover up her image in front of the whole world.
After confessing everything, Zave laid on the ground and didn't dare to look up. He could predict that a storm was coming soon. Few moments passed in silence and finally Aaron's hoarse voice came,
" Bring out my riding horse here."
Viviana compelled immediately and brought out his best red flaming horse. Then he ordered Jasper who was carrying a silver chain in his bag,
" Tie up this betrayer with the chain and then tie that chain with my horse's legs."
Zave felt his soul slipping out from his body after this command. He cried and begged desperately,
" My Lord... My Lord..I have said everything that I know...Why are you still doing this to me? "
Aaron's lips crooked into a mischievous glint as he spoke coldly,
" For the sake of uttering so much truths, I am sparing your life Zave. But I can't guarantee that whether you will live after this torture or not."
Then he signaled at Viviana who didn't even dare to breath loudly,
" Now ride the horse Viviana and let the world sees what is the consequences of betraying a Vampire King."
Viviana didn't dare to decline and followed his command obediently. As the horse started running, Zave's shril cry echoed in air who was getting bleeded by the silver chain and dragging over the ground ruthlessly.
The guards present in the castle shivered all over at his shril cry and kept hanging their heads lowly. When Aaron was immersed in his thoughts, one of his spy rushed over to the spot and informed hastily,
" My Lord..It..It seems like My Lady has returned to her world safely. One of our guard has just informed me."
Aaron's body stiffened lightly as his heart started thumping wildly.
