BXBX NOVEL Chapter 134 - Chaos In Courtroom
MOONSHINE CASTLE,
After being devoured by his beasty husband, Esme fell in sleep more faster than usual. Even though she had regained her super strength and powers but she always felt that she couldn\'t ever satisfy his needs properly. Thus she kept sleeping soundly without hearing the deep words that was told right after her ears during sleep.
The longer night went passed away quickly as another morning sun appeared on the sky of Vampire World as usual. Growling in her nightmares, Esme vaguely heard some noises coming out from downhall as her beauty sleep had been shattered eventually.
Parting open her lazy eyes, she found herself over the bed as she tried to register everything inside her head. It seemed like she was taken by Aaron last night after their intercourse. Reminding that how much passionate they were last night especially she who constantly thought that she would leave him soon couldn\'t hold back her feelings anymore. A shy blush appeared on her sleepy face as she heard the noises growing stronger.
She gently sat up from the bed before scratching her head messily. Frowning hard, she called out Carol who waited for her awakening outside,
" Carol... Carol.. Are you there?"
Soon after, Carol entered the room hastily and walked over to her bedside. Her expression was puzzled that made Esme\'s tension arousing more.
Esme asked tugging off the blanket that kept her warm whole night,
" What\'s going on downstairs? Why is there so much noises today? Is your lord holding any meeting?"
Carol shook her head denying and answered hesitantly,
" No, my lady. its.. its.. the ministers who are disappointed on Lord recently. They.. they are accusing that Lord has been too focused on his personal life rather than his kingdom. Thus they are having an argument with each others even Lord was furious too."
Esme\'s expression sank as she couldn\'t help but feeling rather tensed up. Climbing down from the bed, she put on her slippers hastily and ordered Carol,
" Put out my clothes from the cabinet. I will be going downstairs. "
Carol wisely understood her intention and didn\'t delay further. Considering her public appearance in front of the minister, Carol chose a decent clothe for her and waited at the entrance of bathroom.
Very soon, Esme made her way downstairs wearing a full sleeved gown that gave her an elegant vibe accompanied by Carol behind. Reaching over the entrance of courtroom, the guards were little surprised before giving her a bow respectively.
Esme waited for a while to predict the whole situation that was happening inside. Shifting her eyes over Aaron, she could feel the tensed expression on his face.
Aaron was seated on his throne respectively looking down coldly over the ministers who dared to pinpoint over his abilities. His right arm was resting over the edge of his throne leisurely as it kept clenching into fist occasionally. The color of his eyes turned more darker as it showed his boiling rage that had been held back inside hardly.
The red haired minister who had a grimace expression stated loudly, his tone buzzing across the quite courtroom,
" My Lord, we have never interfered in your personal life but it has become such a shame to say that you have been handling your kingdom poorly now. It has become several days but there is no news of Enchantress. The citizens has been living in fear all the days but there is no process from your side."
Another minister who had some opinion regarding the matter also nodded in agreement and joined enthusiastically,
" I\'m completely agreeing with Mr.Dawson. We have seen no process in this trivial matter. What do we expect from you then, Lord? We should stay always live in fear of Enchantress and watch you being lovey-dovey with your wife in the castle."
Aaron finally interrupted their awful comments and shouted from his throne,
" Enough!! She has nothing to do with my kingdom. Don\'t bring her into this mess. I have already informed you all that my troops are searching for Enchantress everywhere. Once we find her, there will be no mercy for her wrongdoings. Why are you guys bringing the same issues again and again? "
The red haired minister snorted coldly undoubtedly challenging Aaron\'s authority,
" Huh!! Do you want us to believe that she still hasn\'t been found till now? Our clan has the best forces in the history of Vampires. Who will believe that they aren\'t capable enough to find an evil witch?"
Aaron gritted his teeth tightly knowing that they were indicating different meaning and asked in a cold voice,
" What do you exactly want to say, Mr.Dawson? Spit out straightforwardly. Don\'t beat around the bush unnecessarily. "
Mr.Dawson remained quite for a while and gestured at the white haired man who encouraged him to continue. Swallowing back his fear lightly, he swiped his gaze across the courtroom and saw everyone\'s expected eyes on him.
Taking a deep breath, he finally stated the fact clearly,
" My Lord, we are assuming that you are taking Enchantress\'s side to achieve more powers. After all, that woman performs dark magics that can provide you supreme powers than anyone. Otherwise why can\'t we find her after searching with our best troops? Moreover you own such powerful magical creatures that can definitely be helpful to Enchantress. So we... "
" Enough!!!", Aaron\'s thunderous tone buzzed across the room as Mr.Dawson shuddered in his spot fearfully.
He lowered his eyes down fearfully and knew that it was a crime to accuse a king in front of others. Even the rest of crowd were stunned after hearing Mr.Dawson\'s accusations.
How dare he suspect Aaron Richards? Is he tired of living?
The crowd wandered as they all watched Aaron\'s dark expression that was ready to send Mr.Dawson in hell. As Aaron parted open his lips to give the order of beheading this unscrupulous minister, the other minister with with white hair quickly agreed,
" Don\'t be so blind to believe him, ministers. Mr. Dawson has genuinely stated the truth. How come Enchantress is missing till now? Have you ever thought about it deeply? Furthermore Lord has married to a mere human who can\'t possibly get pregnant by him. After all, he is the most powerful one among all of us and needs a powerful lady to bore his child. How come a mere human will bore his child? What will happen to our clan then? Who will be the next thing? Have anyone thought about it? Lord has been doing everything on his own will and never regarded our opinions. Then why must we live in fear of Enchantress? "
All of sudden, the room fell in dense silence as the ministers started whispering among each others lowly. Aaron stood still tightening his lips as he felt each of his veins burning in rage.
How dare they accuse Esme in front of everyone? How dare they talk about their marital life?
Even though they all believed Aaron\'s capabilities and believed him wholeheartedly, after hearing out Mr.Dawson and other minister\'s judgment, they couldn\'t help but think about all the possibilities deeply.
Indeed it was nearly impossible to bore a child for Aaron and furthermore his wife belonged to a human clan. In their history, no human was able to give birth a vampire child successfully rather the woman died or the child. According to Aaron\'s pampered nature towards Esme, it was impossible to believe that Aaron would prefer his own child over Esme if anything like this happen in the future. Thus they all were agreeing with Mr.Dawson\'s opinion slowly.
Over the doorway, Esme remained stunned as she didn\'t think about anything so deeply. Indeed they were speaking the truth that she couldn\'t bore a child for Aaron even though she wasn\'t human. But giving birth to a cursed child would be the against the law of two worlds that would cause another disaster like Ayra\'s existence.
She held her breath hardly and clutched her clothe tightly in remorse. She shouldn\'t have fallen in love Aaron nor did she should have accepted his mark.
Biting her lips tightly, she observed each one of them\'s firm expression that was slowly turning hatred towards Aaron. Taking a deep breath, she finally decided to speak as she entered the hall holding her head high.
The guards announced loudly about her presence that made everyone\'s thought in astonishment. Even Aaron was dumbfounded too as she watched her walking over to his throne.
After reaching over Aaron, she respectively bowed a little and spoke softly,
" Can I say something here if you permit? I deeply think that I should speak up here as it revolves me too."
Aaron responded blankly and truthfully,
" Of course, you have the right to say anything here. You are queen and hold the same powers as mine."
Esme smiled gratefully but another angry voice broke out from down hatefully. Mr.Dawson was furious after watching Esme\'s presence in the courtroom as he couldn\'t hold back at anger any more.
Pointing his finger towards Esme, he shouted from his spot roaring thunderously,
" Who let this human enter in our court? Have the guards turned blind? It\'s not their living room to show shameless acts in front of us. Tell her to go back to her room, now. We aren\'t holding any party here."
Aaron and Esme both looked back at him astounding over his behaviour that he was daring to insult them so bravely.
Before Esme could give her respond, Aaron had suddenly disappeared from her sight leaving her in daze. The next moment, Mr.Dawson\'s shrill cry echoed in the room as Esme watched Aaron admiringly.
On the other side, Aaron had broken Mr.Dawson\'s index finger in a swift that was pointing on Esme a while back. Gritting his teeth together, Aaron growled coldly,
" Who gave you the courage to talk with her like that?"
Mr.Dawson howled in pain as the ministers were all stunned after watching Aaron\'s terrific aura. The white haired minister went more furious as he sneered towards Esme who stood over the throne in dilemma,
" Bewitched! She has bewitched our Lord.. Such a..."
" Shut up!", Esme rebuked instantly feeling that this ministers were acting too bold.
Glaring at him harshly, Esme warned in a loud voice emitting a threatening aura,
" Don\'t forget that you are talking with your queen. I\'m not a servant in the castle. Keep quite until I complete my words or get out of the courtroom. We won\'t lack ministers as long as we stay loyal to our tenants."
