Loved By a Vampire King

DALASTIA WORLD,

It was a warm afternoon time as the happy birds were travelling back into their nests flying the radiant sky. At the same time two different scenes could be scene into the two parts of magnificent white castle.

In the courtyard, Queen Melinda was having a afternoon tea putting on a soft smile as the girl beside her helped pouring the tea into the white porcelain cups. Her affectionate gaze occasionally travelled behind where Ethan was playing with his sword absentmindedly.

Queen Mother took another sip of her tea as she spotted the blushing cheeks of the girl sitting in front of her. She smiled and asked pretending to be unnoticed,

" Katherine, how's your mother doing? Why didn't she visit? It's been a long time since we last met."

Katherine jolted uncomfortably before replying back with a wide smile,

" She is just busy, aunty. She will definitely attend the coronation ceremony."

Queen Melinda hummed coldly before asking out cautiously judging her expression,

" Who do you think that will be the king?"

Katherine was little taken back before replying calmly,

" Well, pardon my words Queen Melinda. You already have the answer that who is the most suitable person for the throne. But you ask about my opinion, I can say that Brother Ethan is far more mature, powerful than Brother Ester. So definitely Brother Ethan deserves the title King undoubtedly. "

Queen Melinda nodded her head blankly as she observed the flare of excitement behind Katherine's gaze.

Katherine was the daughter of Queen Melinda's childhood friend. She was born with an alluring face that could attract anyone's interest immediately. Moreover she was elegant, decent and maintained an aura of prominent lady just like her mother. She was well known with Ethan's family since her birth.

On the contrary, Ethan was swirling his sword in the air continously. His movements were skillful but his gaze was distracted and seemed to be somewhere else. With an another swift movement, he digged the sword into the soil as his eyes flared up.

In his mind, the pale face of Athena continued replaying continuously that made his heart anxious. His eyes were craving to see her just for once but unfortunately he had no way to go over there.

To avoid this distraction, he decided to play with his sword but nothing was useful comparing to her beautiful face. Sighing angrily, he turned around and intended to head outside briskly.

Queen Melinda saw his retreating back as she called out affectionately,

" Ethan, come over here. See, Katherine has come to visit us."

Ethan didn't bother to turn back and continued walking giving her a brief reply,

" I have works mother. I will see her later."

Queen Melinda's face flushed with disappointment as she smiled back at Katherine awkwardly.

This son.. Will he never listen to her?

On the other hand, Ester had locked himself inside his living room that was situated in the outdoor area of the castle. Before his birth, his father had made this little home like castle specifically for his biological mother. After she passed away, Ester started living here from his teenage age.

Even though it was a daytime outside but his living room was pitch dark as he had sealed every windows and doors angrily. Sitting down blankly on the cold floor, his eyes were bloodshot that could swallow anyone within a minute.

He had set up this trap for a long time but now all had been failed because of Ethan. He already assumed the blissful scenario of sitting on the white throne and the divine feeling of seeing everyone bowing down their heads respectively.

Everything is ruined now..! What's more can be done?

Meanwhile, Jeremy entered the darkened room cautiously and saw his pitiful state. Before he could ask anything, Ester's voice came first coldly,

" Jeremy, do you think that I don't deserve to be the king here?"

Jeremy's face turned perturbed as he mumbled fearfully,

" No.. No.. master.. you still have the chance of being the king. Above all, the main fighting will be happening soon. You can defeat the second Prince. "

Ester looked up audibly and suddenly hauled up storming towards him that horrified Jeremy,

" You think that I can't defeat the man? His powers are useless to me. But why will I have to fight with him when the throne is legally mine? "

He shouted in rage on his face,

" Why those useless vampires couldn't kill him? Tell me why? What did that old queen order? Why? "

Jeremy remained silent before answering fearfully,

" They.. they really attacked him master but someone had saved prince Ethan."

Ester pushed him hard backwards and ordered furiously,

" I don't know whom she had sent or not! Call her tonight. I need to threat her again. She has forgot that seven years ago, I did the biggest favor for her clan. "

Jeremy nodded with understand and asked lowering down his tone,

" Then where do you want to meet? "

Ester frowned hard before falling into deep thoughts.

He needed to select the best secured place. Thus his mind could only find that suitable place for their meeting and ordered shortly,

" RIVERGREEN VALLEY. Tell her to come over there."

Jeremy received his order before walking outside leaving him in pitch darkness.

VAMPIRE WORLD,

The peace inside the living vampires and few humans had been shattered just by a single piece of news that ENCHANTRESS was still live. They heard numerous terrific stories about her that could tremble a vampire or werewolf too. The ministers had all taken necessary steps to guard their valley or city according to Aaron's order. The tenants were all thrilled and avoided their bests to roam outside.

In nearly dawn time, a bunch of guards and maids entered into the old castle and started pulling out the necessary assets of Athena. Athena was surprised to see them as she heard Zasper's abrupt tone explaining, 

" Princess, Lord has been ordered to send you into our secured castle at Sasha Palace. Even Queen Mother will arrive there soon after finishing some works here." 

Athena frowned hard and asked anxiously, 

" What happened all of sudden? Is brother all right? Why is he sending us far away? "

Jasper avoided eye contact and replied lowering down his head respectively, 

" Well, recently there had been mysterious murder of Vampires in the kingdom. So the healers are predicting that ENCHANTRESS is still alive and probably targeting the royal members. So Lord wants to keep you safe all of you." 

Athena's face sank as she refused instantly, 

" What are you talking about? What about him, then? He wants to stay in danger by sending all of us away. No, I'm not leaving. Tell them to go back. Whatever happens, we will all bear the consequence. "

Jasper lifted up his gaze admiringly and knew that Athena loved Aaron wholeheartedly even though they stayed apart for a long time. Perhaps Aaron knew his sister well. Thus he had given strict order to send her into their secured castle at any cost. 

Jasper sighed before responding cautiously, 

" Princess, if you insist on staying here, Lord will be worrying about your safety all the time. Only when all of you stay in a secured place, he could focus on destroying ENCHANTRESS. Moreover I promise that if something happens to Lord, I will definitely take you back here. "

Athena wanted to refuse again but giving it a second thought, she had to compromise at the end considering the whole situation. 

So in that evening, Athena left for the Sasha Palace leaving the old castle with Jasper. 

MOONSHINE CASTLE, 

Esme hadn't seen Aaron for the rest of the day as she kept on burning in rage. She didn't even know that why was she getting enlarged over Aaron. Moreover that guy even didn't appear to coax him. 

But she didn't know that Aaron had been very busy in managing the entire kingdom after the news had been travelled to everyone.

Nearly at ten o'clock, she locked the door from inside and hopped on the bed angrily. Surely soon after, Aaron knocked on the door asking cautiously,

" Esme, why did you lock the door?" 

Esme replied indifferently,

" I want to sleep alone today. You can stay in another room." 

Aaron's expression darkened as he spoke knocking on the door hardly, 

" Don't play around. Open the door and let me talk with you. "

Esme shouted underneath the blanket, 

" No, I have nothing to discuss with you. If yoy have come to talk about sending me away, then you can go to another room. I have already given you my answer. "

Aaron was already disturbed after handling all the chaos and felt angered over her reckless attitude. He clenched his fist and answered angrily, 

" Open the damn door or I'm going to break it. You have been acting disobedient for the entire day. I'm giving you last warning. Open the fucking door or I will break it." 

Esme shrugged and replied indifferently, 

" Then break it. Its your castle by the way. You have to fix the door again. "

Aaron "..."

Aaron was really attempted to break the door but suddenly one of the guard interrupted his task. The southern part needed his presence as soon as possible as he spoke to Esme softening his tone, 

" I'm going to the South for tonight. Once you're sober, we will talk. Rest well." 

Esme's heart skipped a beat as she heard the footsteps disappearing slowly into the air. 

The man has gone! 

Sighing bitterly, she tossed and turned on the bed continuously and couldn't sleep at well.With a blink of eye, one hour had passed already without her conscious. 

As she laid down on the bed staring blankly at the celling with her puzzled mind, the door was knocked abruptly. She jolted and looked at the doorway curiously. 

Tiptoeing near the doorstep, she called out again, 

" Who is it?" 

The other party didn't give her any answer but it was knocked again. Knitting her eyebrows confusedly, she parted open the door slightly as a familiar silhouette slipped in instantly. 

Gasping loudly in astonishment, she staggered backwards as Ron quickly closed off the door. 

He was panting heavily as if he had finished a marathon race. Without waiting for any explanation, Ron urged her instantly, 

" Get ready. We will be leaving the castle now. No one is here except few guards. I can handle them." 

He grabbed Esme's hand and started pulling her out, 

" Let's go. We don't have so much time."

On the flip side, Esme's face sank as her heart wrenched in extreme pain that made her feeling suffocated.
