Esme was stunned before turning crimson.She didn't expect Queen Mother Melinda to find out so fast. It wasn't unexpected in reality. Being the mother of four children, she was far more experienced than anyone. Esme was a little afraid to confess the truth as her children were going to become a hybrid creature too.
After a moment of hesitation, Esme finally gave her a single nod only to be heard out her surprised cry. Esme frowned lifting up her shy eyes and watched Melinda smiling widely like a little fool. Melinda couldn't suppress her excitement any longer. She literally started to fly around Esme and constantly exclaimed,
" O my god! We are finally going to have so many heirs. Serena, why didn't you tell us earlier? It must be difficult on you during this chaos. Tell me, what do you want to eat? Women should eat carefully during this time."
Esme was left utterly speechless. She pulled her mother's arms and gave her a relaxing smile,
" Mother.. Please calm down..I am absolutely fine and there is nothing wrong with my body."
Melinda was still grinning at Esme who was shy upon seeing her excitement. Melinda changed the subject and suddenly quired in a low voice anxiously,
" Then...you are also having children. Why don't you want to go back to your husband? Let me go and talk with her."
Melinda was intending to head away for Aaron but Esme grasped her from back. Turning her face around confusingly, Melinda heard her saying softly,
" Mother, this matter is completely between us. Don't drag yourself into it. Just give me some time."
Melinda stopped considerably and asked while taking her palms into her fist,
" You hate him?"
Esme had to bite down her bottom lips hardly after this question. Gulping down a little painfully, she answered truthfully,
" No, mother..I just don't know how to forgive him."
Melinda hummed in response and formed into a warm smile. How could she didn't understand what was Esme feeling when she personally faced this troubled feelings once?
Melinda embraced Esme comfortablely and supported her with a smile,
" It's all right. Give yourself time. My grandchildren won't be less pampered in here. You can choose whatever you want. We will be here for you always."
Esme could only respond with a smile of gratitude. Her eyes invoulantarily turned moisty. How long it had been since she wished to be cuddled like this?
After their heartwarming conversation, the mother and daughter went around for a walk which shocked the entire White Castle. But people were happy after knowing that the cold war finally broke off.
Soon after, the day passed away with so much happiness floating around the air of White Castle. Queen Melinda had officially declared that she would accept Athena as their daughter-in-law very soon. She finally realised that no laws mattered to her as long as her children were happy. Then the whole castle literally jumped on doing preparations for their engagement ceremony on that night though there was two days left till then.
Inside Esme's room, she was doing Ayra's hairs when Siemus entered with an anxious expression. Bowing her head down to Esme, she hesitated before uttering nervously,
" My Lady.. have.. have you heard something?"
Esme crooked her eyebrows suspiciously and gave her a nod of denying. While binding Ayra's hairs, she heard Siemus explaining anxiously,
" Lord has been demolished the entire councilmen today. He has annouced that after today onwards, there will be no upper hands people except the king. The reason is that he has officially announced about your pregnancy today and the councilmen opposed his opinion since you have regained your past identity. Furthermore the villa of Old Lord has been burnt mysteriously. He is no more in this world."
Esme's hands froze from doing whatever she was. Her mouth agaped slightly in disbelief and she lost her capabilities of thinking straight for a while. Her heart was pounding against her chest rapidly. She just couldn't help but finding it unbelievable that Aaron had become so violent just for her sake.
Won't citizens try to demolish him from his position?
She felt guilty and sweet at the same time. She knew that she was being hard on him but she never wanted to make him suffering everyday. Thus she drew a deep breath and passed the hairball to Siemus ordering softly,
" Siemus, take care of Ayra for a while. I will be coming back later."
Siemus nodded with a light bow and immediately had a warm smile on her lips. She understood that to where Esme was heading for now. Esme left afterwards and went towards the direction of guest room.
Upon getting nearer on the doorway, she asked the guards who had their heads bowing at her,
" Did Lord Aaron arrive?"
One of the guard shook his head and replied respectively,
" No Princess. He hasn't come back yet."
Esme pondered then mumbled before going inside hastily,
" It's alright. I will just wait for him."
The guards quickly made a path to give her entrance and guarded outside as usual. Upon entering the room, Esme found it all empty. Thus she picked up a book randomly and went at a corner to read it silently while waiting for Aaron.
Half an hour of waiting, the door of guest room was pushed open with a light thud. Following up, the man with wrath radiating from his eyes entered in and threw off the jacket, sword whatever he was holding on in his bare hands.
Aaron didn't notice Esme who was sitting at corner. After kicking the bed strongly, his body dropped down over the bed clumsily. His breathing heavied as if he was battling his best to control his anger.
Esme's heart ached painfully. She closed the book off silently, got up and started to pick up the throwned things patiently. She went on difference places around the room to place them on their usual spots whilst Aaron laid down on the bed with his eyes shutting tightly together.
Esme approached cautiously and spoke in a very soft voice,
" You came back?"
Aaron snapped open his eyes in a shot and arched his head up to see the owner of that voice. His earlier raged eyes quickly dissapared away and replaced with a gentle aura like melting water. Stumbling up from the bed, he replied almost suturing on his words,
" When..when did you come?"
Esme sighed softly and replied while getting closer until she was only a few inches away from him,
" A long back! You were so devastated in venting your anger that you haven't noticed me in your room."
Aaron scratched his head awkwardly and mumbled,
" Well, I just got a little angry on my subordinates. Nothing much."
Esme stared at him for a few moments and then whispered between her parted lips,
" I have heard everything."
Aaron didn't hide anymore. He glanced up at her face blankly and replied with an assured smile,
" You don't have to feel afraid. No one will dare to disrupt your life as long as I am alive."
Esme didn't respond immediately. Instead an anger coursed through her mind. Did he think that she was worried about her own safety? Fool!
She sighed helplessly and asked with a deep voice,
" Is it really worth to fight for me, Aaron?"
This time, Aaron lifted up his head and gazed through her eyes deeply. He could see that she was blaming herself for this chaos. After a moment of silence, his lips formed into a satisfied smile and he answered with honesty,
" You are worth every fighting Esme. If you really think that I have done a mistake, you are absolutely wrong. Nothing matters to me more than you in my life even not our babies."
Esme held back those tears who were fighting to fall down and replied with a light choke,
" What if I don't go back ever? What are you gonna do with this flights then?"
Aaron pulled her towards his arms cautiously and pressed his head on her chest softly. Wrapping his arms around her body, he mumbled like a child,
" Then I guess I will spend my life waiting for you then or I will become a live-son-in-law here. What do you say?"
Esme laughed softly but didn't push him away. Hearing her laughter, Aaron felt a different kind of ease and suddenly informed her cheerfully,
" Oh, I forgot to tell you that I have found Carol."
Esme's expression lit up quickly and she urged anxiously,
" Really? When? Why didn't you bring her up with you? She must be very worried about me."
Aaron tilted his head up slightly and demanded with a mischievous grin,
" Then what do I get as reward? I will bring her on the day of Athena's engagement. She doesn't wish to get married from Moonshine."
Esme frowned knowing his mischievous smile,
" What reward? I..I don't understand."
Aaron demanded shamelessly while running his fingers on her back sensually,
" Be good and kiss me harder."
Esme's face turned pale as she muttured blushing profusely,
" What.. what..no way..You are taking advantage of me.."
Aaron blinked innocently and blurted with a sneer,
" What advantage? Who was the one turning me insane early in the morning? Didn't you kissing me back? If Ayra didn't intervene, we might have ended having sex in the washroom."
Esme hussed pressing her palms tightly on his sinful mouth,
" Huss! Huss! Don't talk about it anymore. I will kiss you, okay?"
Aaron grinned happily and arched his head up shamelessly. Esme sighed helplessly and started to bent down towards his lips nervously. She feared that they would loss control and something terrible would happen like morning again.
Just as her lips touched his cold one, Aaron froze for a moment, reached up to hold the back of her head and deepened the kiss eagerly. Esme whimpered then slowly fell engrossed between their kissing. When she was lost in his breathtaking kiss, she failed to hear her zipper going down on her back.
Meanwhile, Siemus was running all of the places of White Castle. She quired each one of the guard anxiously,
" Have you seen young Princess anywhere?"
Everyone denied and no one saw Ayra going outside. Siemus paused and started to wonder while heading outdoor anxiously.
Where did Ayra go within just a few moments? She just only went to visit Athena in another room but the little girl was gone when she came back.
