Chapter 233 - Heading For Dalastia
Esme felt a little discomfort at the way,Ron hugged them tightly in his arms as if he was just reunited with his real familiy. Esme only used a slight push to maintain a safe distance. Ron left the two from his embrace and looked up at them embarrassingly. He had just gone out of control after being reunited with Esme. His eyes couldn\'t hide the sparkling happiness that was blooming from the depth of his heart.
No matter what unknown feelings they had, Esme had to accept the truth that Ron had helped her during her more critical stage of life. She greeted him with a faint smile,
" Ron!! "
Ron smiled back endulgingly. His own eyes couldn\'t pull away from the woman whom he desired for wholeheartedly. Even for her sake, he had abandoned his own family and spent this days here to secure Ayra. After worshipping his eyes with her natural beauty, he whispered happily,
" Serena! You are finally back."
Esme nodded her head lightly and lowered her eyes down to hide her complicated emotions from him. Giving her all attention back to Ayra, she spoke to her daughter lovingly,
" Baby, did you do well during this time?"
Ayra nodded her head repeatedly, twisted the pendant playfully on her neck and answered in her baby voice,
" Yes, mommy! Ayra has been doing very well. Do you know what Mommy? Uncle Ethan has become a king with that giant throne."
Esme still didn\'t hear out the news regarding Ethan. After receiving such news from Ayra, her smile broadened happily. She had faith over Ethan that he would definitely snatch back what belongs to him rightfully.
Esme replied raking through her blonde hairs affectionately,
" That\'s awesome, baby! Then we will have to congratulate uncle Ethan now."
Ayra nodded, gave her puppy eyes and asked unhappily,
" But Mommy, will you leave me again?"
Esme gulped before shaking her head hesitantly. Widening her lips apart, she planted a deep kiss on Ayra\'s plump cheeks and assured with a smile,
" No, baby! Mommy will never leave you again! We will live happily ever after forever."
Ayra smiled widely at her answer and wrapped her tiny arms around Esme\'s shoulders tightly. Her happiness couldn\'t be held down as she started grinning like a little fool.
The other side, Ron wasn\'t less happier than Ayra. Judging by Esme\'s tongue, he could sense that something had gone terribly wrong between Aaron and her. As long as Esme didn\'t choose to return, he could waver her heart towards him slowly.
Anna who had been forgotten by everyone felt sore in her heart. The more she heard, the more she felt her heart breaking into pieces. Pushing away those emotional thoughts forcibly, she hurried over Esme slowly and spoke after giving a short bow,
" Princess! You have come back finally! "
Esme looked up at her way smiling and greeted back,
" Anna! Yes, I have returned to my baby daughter! You are free from this burden from now on."
Anna denied with a light nod and replied sincerely while staring at Ayra\'s baby face,
" It was no trouble, Princess. I was happy to take care of her."
Esme smiled with gratitude and finally revealed her intentions,
" It seems like second brother has finally taken over the throne. Before he gets bombard around to look for me, we should head for Dalastia. I don\'t want to live any longer in veins. Now, Ayra will be introduced with the whole world proudly."
Ron\'s expression seemed troubled one as he asked nervously,
" But Serena.. what if they ground us?"
Esme didn\'t put down this possiblity from her heart completely. But she had confident on his brother\'s authority. Pulling the little beauty in her embrace more tightly, Esme replied in a deep voice,
" They won\'t dare to disregard us as long as second brother give his command. In Dalastia, no one is superior than the king."
Anna nodded in agreement and agreed with Esme,
" That\'s right, Princess. Brother Ethan won\'t let any harm coming upon on our little Princess. We should really head back now or else he will start worrying about you."
Esme nodded and urged them quickly,
" Then let\'s go back together. Ron can return to his world after meeting him."
_VAMPIRE WORLD_
"Aaaaahhh!!! ", another roar came from the backyard of Old Lord\'s Mansion which was particularly choosen for him to live whenever he paid visit in Moonshine.
The Old Lord who usually hold a mighty aura was now sweating profusely. His palms gathered sheen sweat invisibly as his light darkened red eyes looked up at the calm man shakingly.
Aaron appeared like a little flicker of fire who was ready to burn everything around him. It was told in the history that a man with powers turns violent after loosing his lover. Aaron could be told the perfect example this time.
His fingers tiptoed over the cabinet lightly. His magical voice buzzed across the room hoarsely,
" One last time, Uncle! Answer me! Where is Carol?"
Aaron questioned and held back the urge of strangling this old man who once helped his father to regain his kingdom. His patience was reaching its limit as each moment passed away. After going through all the pains, Aaron decided on settling every score with those persons who caused harm Esme purposely. At first,Carol\'s matter came in his concern as he knew that Esme had deep affection towards that little girl. Since that evening, she had gone missing mysteriously in his kingdom. After going through all the possibilities, Jasper happened to find out a piece of news that Old Lord\'s guards had been seen over the territory on that particular day.
Old Lord was had been hold under captive by Aaron\'s people completely didn\'t open up his mouth so far. He insisted on being dominant and refused to reveal anything. As Aaron still showed him the little respect of being their guardian, he didn\'t lay his hand on him. Instead he chose different way to force him. The right handed guards of Old Lord had been killed off outside one by one mercilessly. Their cries were so close that each time Old Lord had to fear thinking that he would be the next one.
Mustering up the courage that was left inside him, Old Lord scowled back nervously,
" Aaron.. you..do you think that you can rule on me by doing this? I am telling you that the councilmen will not let you go this time.. I will seek justice from them..You.."
" You should be able to live till then, Old Lord. Furthermore one of your so called councilman is death by me.", Aaron interrupted pulling his raged eyes on him flexibly.
Old Lord\'s expression sullened so much after the news that he felt difficulties in breathing. Aaron walked over to him from the side of cabinet slowly. Holding a cigarette between his two forefingers, he asked with patience coldly,
" You have only three seconds to confess after that I will have to forget that we aren\'t relatives in any ways, Old Lord."
Just as he quired, another ear piercing cry travelled inside the room. The old Lord shuddered lightly at the velocity of that cry which seemed too pathetic as if his head had been disfractured from its position.
The old Lord gulped this time, seemed utterly fearful and gave him reply lowly,
" She.. she was being..taken...in my old living house... that girl.. Carol..she is there..."
Jasper was the first one to feel relieved. Ever since Lady Esme had left his lord\'s side, the poor guy had been facing tragedies in handling Aaron\'s mood. He was becoming more and more violent in fixing people.
Aaron showed no reaction on his face after receiving this answer as if he had already expected this result. Tossing off the cigarette underneath his feet, he took few predatory steps towards the seated old lord and spoke with a smirk,
" I think, Richards family has repayed you enough in this decades."
The Old Lord including Jasper was flabbergasted at the meaning behind his words and saw him heading outside quietly. Jasper as usual trailed him off closely and left the old man alone inside the mansion.
While walking outside, Aaron asked softening his tongue a little,
" Have you received any news from Dalastia? Have they found her anywhere?"
Jasper held his breathing and replied hesitantly,
" No, Milord! They..they also haven\'t tracked her yet."
Aaron only paused slightly and replied with a bitter smile,
" It is difficult to find someone who hides intentionally, Jasper. Continue searching for her in case she chooses to come outside from her shelter."
Jasper nodded then sighed helplessly. Things could have been completely different if only Esme knew the truth.
They both reached outside together and watched the guards getting punished according to his will. Aaron signalled his own people to stop and turned around facing the mansion coldly.
Narrowing his eyes dangerously, he only passed his command to Jasper hastily,
" Burn the mansion now."
Jasper was stunned unable to proceed his words and glanced up at Aaron questioningly. Aaron revealed no trace of hesitations and repeated his words,
" BURN THE MANSION NOW! If you still haven\'t heard me Jasper Collen, I can set your body with this fire gladly."
Jasper immediately hung his head down for mercy and gestured at his guards to arrange fire quickly. Standing beside Aaron who looked like a walking dead, Jasper prayed inside solemnly,
" My Lady, Please come back to him or else countless lives will be burnt in this fire from today onwards."
ON THE OTHER SIDE.....
Sabrina shouted out loudly when she saw Linda\'s body collapsing weakly over the ground. She had spent all her powers in protecting Enchantress\'s barrier but this evil witch continued unleashing all her black magics.
Linda gasped with her noose bleeding profusely and sutured fearfully,
" Sabrina...Try to reconnect with Princess Serena..This woman is doing something behind our eyes..I seem to not understand that from where she had been unleashing so many dark powers.. Please do something fast.."
Sabrina nodded compherensively and replied back anxiously,
" I will do something.. Please Sister Linda, don\'t kill yourself while saving her.."
Linda murmured lowly clasping her painful heart,
" She..she might harm the Princess\'s familiy if we don\'t continue..Do..do something fast.."
