RECOMMEND SONG: Titanium By Sia ~?
_MOONSHINE CASTLE_
Even though Esme\'s answer brought satisfaction on everyone\'s face present over there, the man who stood ahead of her shuddered lighty before shooting her an awestruck look. Just when he pursued his lips together to give her some knowledge and seriousness regarding this situation, Aaron had to back up his idea when the fighting tears in her eyes successfully caught his whole attention. As if his heart was stabbed by countless knives, Aaron breathed restlessly and with a thumping heart, he managed to look through deep into her water filled eyes.
Nothing can be more painful than the person whom you love is crying for your reason!
He barely managed to draw a deep breath as the distant glance of her eyes was killing his every intent. Allowing himself to ache deep down, he asked her like a breathless whisper,
" Why?"
He didn\'t complete the entire form of his question but the other party did know his question. Esme choked, a pain of being deceived quickly rushed over from the core of her heart. With her red eyes guled on him, she asked back with a thousand of questions, curiousity,
" Shouldn\'t I ask why?"
Aaron jolted as soon as her cold voice came out like a solid arrow stabbing at the deep core of his beating heart. Aaron forced himself to calm down, attempted to use his touch as to sooth her painful expression. In this thought, he took a slow stride to hold her but the woman instantly stepped back warning him silently to remain in his spot through her rigid eyes.
Aaron paused in his spot abruptly as he felt his heart sinking deeper and deeper. He could endure her ignorance but it was a death wish to him after seeing the flicker of hatred in her deep questioning eyes.
Squeezing his eyes shut and opening it again, Aaron suttured failing to gather up a perfect answer,
" Esme...I...I.."
He couldn\'t complete his words and swallowed hard once more to reconsider. Esme smiled bitterly as her hot tears finally broken down the last barrier in her eyes and fell down through her hot cheeks. She asked between her gritted teeth as her tears continued on their way towards the floor,
" Tell me one reason and I will take back my words."
Aaron choked after staring at her continuous teardrops and again attempted to confess after closing his eyes into a shut,
" It was all before..I..fell.."
"Enough of this rubbish! " Mr.Rogers shouted breaking off this stiff atmosphere and motioned at the guards to surround Esme at once.
With his eyes burning, he sneered looking at Aaron,
" Nonsense! I can\'t believe that you are choking over a woman\'s little play. Can\'t you see that she is definitely trying to lure you with her crocodile tears? She must have come to destroy our clan purposely. Or else why will you take liking on this mere fairy who have only little powers? Surely she has no prestigious status in her world and come down to become the queen. No ,Aaron. You can be bewitched by her but we, as the protectors of Vampire clan will never allow to stay with this white creature anymore. She deserves to get punished because of hiding her true identity."
Aaron immediately shouted hysterically as his cold back faced the raged man behind,
" No! You need permission from the king to send anyone into prison, don\'t you? Then I refuse to let her go into the prison. She will be staying with me wherever I go. No one! Absolutely no one has the right to punish her."
Aaron placed his command and faced Esme\'s tear stained face deeply. Even though he didn\'t utter any word, the man who just silenced the whole world with his one ruthless command kept staring at the woman in front of him with his pleaded eyes. He knew that if Esme insisted on accepting her punishment, there was no way out that he could save her from their malicious torture later.
Mr.Rogers and other Council members were all stunned when Aaron denied their command without rethinking. Probably this was the first time when Aaron showed off his almighty powers over them. Even though they held the powers of rulling over the world, Aaron was still the most powerful one existed in their world.
Mr.Rogers trembled violently in anger and shot behind him a death glare as if she was the sole reason behind this chaos. At that moment, Old Lord used his cunning scheme to subside both parties as his red eyes narrowed dangerously. If he revealed this information that Aaron had lost half of his soul powers, the council would definitely send him to prison for violating their order which he didn\'t want. He still wished for Aaron\'s good but he failed to determine that his good was causing only more pain to Aaron.
His cold eyes shifted on Esme whose face was pale like sheet. He could identify that the girl was on her most vulnerable state and nothing could be more blessed to use her emotions as his tool to save Aaron right now. After he successfully took all of her blood, the council could do anything to her.
As he finally reached into a well planned decision, the old lord interrupted their conversation respectively,
" Pardon, Master Rogers. I have to remind everyone that if the prisoner is willing to accept her punishment, it means that she accepts her faults indirectly. In this case, anyone should must send her to prison no matter who agreed or not. This law could be found in our history too."
This announcement created hype among the crowd who silently watched this commotion getting complicated eventually.
Aaron\'s expression darkened as his eyes once again begged Esme to deny this absurd thoughts. But Esme refused to meet his eyes and continued pondering as her whole world started shattering like a glass. Even Athena who was fighting with her own pain looked between Aaron and Esme as her heart equally ached for them.
She warned Aaron many times but her brother was too afraid to lose Esme! Now things had turned worse.
Now she solemnly prayed that Ethan could come to rescue Esme before their ruthless council could torture her to death! But how was Ethan right away? Did he go to join their final fight?
Mr.Rogers agreed with Old Lord\'s logic as his expression changed into a pleasent one immediately. The old lord sighed in relief and shot up his cold eyes to ask Esme,
" Little bitch, tell us one more time, are you willing to accept this punishment?"
Esme gulped as her eyes lazily met the cold lord and later shifted on Aaron\'s terrified face.Aaron shook his head vigorously and begged her silently but the girl was unaffected of his pleading.
Though she didn\'t get to know the exact reason behind his lying, she couldn\'t count herself completely innocent. She also buried the secret of Ayra from him. Right now, if she let Aaron accept the punishments, this kingdom would fall into disarray after loosing their king just as she feared.
How she wished that she could run away from him a long long time ago? When did desperate urge of leaving him had turned into a desperate urge of staying by his side always? Why did they had to belong to the different worlds?
She sawlloed and without anyone\'s notice, one of her hands shot up to stroke her stomach gently. She closed her eyes off to feel the creatures living inside her belly and coaxed sweetly,
" This world needs your father more than us. I know that your uncle would definitely come for us, babies. Let your father live happily here forever. We don\'t belong to this world."
After finishing her speech inside her mind, her eyes shot open in wide as she repeated her words firmly,
" I accept every punishment from lying about my identity to become the queen of vampires. Let go of the king. He doesn\'t know anything and is just trying to protect his wife. Let him go! "
Aaron gasped stumbling backwards as his gaze blankly fell on the heartless woman in front. Her only purpose of accepting this punishment had only one meaning hidden. She was letting go of their relationship willing even though she had his children inside.
If she was hating him to this extent already, what would she do after discovering the whole truth?
Aaron jolted stunningly as his eyes dropped over her stomach silently as it he was pleading those unseen babies to coax their mother.
The old lord instantly seemed happy as he gestured to the guards to capture her at once.
Right at that moment, Jasper ran into the centre of hallway panting and gasping heavily. With his shallow breathing spreaded out, Jasper informed to everyone almost shouting from his lungs,
" My Lord! Terrible News! Enchantress is coming for Silver city with her own magical black Force. We don\'t know how to break off her witch Craft. Our soldiers are dying slowly."
