Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 118 - Blood Of King Henry

Carol shivered as thousand invisible tears slipped through her eyelids as vampires don't cry. She could only sob and prayed for the wellbeing of her family members that must be waiting for her return in other small town.

Vanessa gave a vicious smirk one last time as she pulled up her knife clutched hand in the air ready to dig out Carol's blood. Just at that moment, a sharp grip groped her fist from the back as Vanessa started spinning backwards.

Her enlarged eyes froze at the moment that she met Esme's furious eyes. Her soul almost left her body at the thought that Esme had discovered her another secret which might kill her life.

Gulping down, she managed to spit out in a trembling tone,

" E.. Esme?"

Esme's face darkened more at her damn attitude of addressing her lowly always as she gritted her teeth replying,

" Some people never change Vanessa. You have proved it very well."

Vanessa gulped still trying to try the last attempt of misleading her judgment,

" You.. you are misunderstanding..I just.. came to pay her a visit."

Esme sneered still gripping her hand tightly,

" You take me as a 3 years old child, Vanessa? You are holding a silver knife and made her curling up at a corner like a little shrimp. You still have the audacity of telling me that you just came to give her a visit? What do you think of yourself? An innocent monk or what? "

Vanessa felt her knees going numb as she kept staring at Esme blankly. For a moment, she forgot that how to escape away from this unexpected situation after all she was caught red handed by Esme. Gnashing her teeth together, she finally came up with a reckless thought that she could finish two birds in one stone. She had already convinced Zave to send the guards away from the prison area for two hours at least. So if she could kill both of them now, there won't be any witnesses to her crime.

Thus Vanessa smirked at Esme devilishly before kicking hard on her stomach as she had to let go of her hands. Staggering backwards, Esme's back hit the hard wall banging loudly as Carol gasped out feeling scared. Her gaze filled with gratitude as she saw Esme's injured figure while saving her.

How did she serve Vanessa all this years? Was she blind to harm a pure soul like Esme?

Esme looked up dangerously as Vanessa approached towards her holding the knife and growled angrily,

" You think, you can stop me bitch. Your mere human bones can't even touch my single hair. Here, you thought that you could kill me? Fool.. before you could open your mouth, I will send you soon to hell."

She spitted out viciously before charging it into her stomach as Esme subconsciously made a quick skip avoiding her obvious attack. But she momentarily forgot that her powers had been back completely and it was difficult to act like simple human now. From her way of skipping, her body emitted lightly whitened balls that caught the attention of Vanessa eventually.

As Esme passed away in another corner, Vanessa couldn't move away her eyes where she spotted the white sparks that aroused numerous questions in her mind. Quivering lightly, she sutured looking up at Esme who appeared nervous too,

" You... you.. what are you?"

Esme cursed in a low tone before replying back coldly,

" What am I, this has nothing to do with you.But you aren't allowed to step in the shell without Lord's permission nor do you have any right to kill Carol inside the prison. Get the hell out of here Vanessa before I call out others."

Vanessa was furious as she glared at Esme disdainfully and at the same time hated her proud attitude of being a royal member. She sneered ignoring the earlier incident and shouted manically,

" You don't have the right to order me like a maid. I don't belong to the maids nor castle staffs. You won't let me kill Carol, right? Fine. Then let me kill you, bitch."

She finished her words and the next moment, she charged towards Esme with a great force and directly stabbed the silver knife into her stomach harshly. 

Carol screamed out loudly as the whole shell trembled in her shrill cry, 

" Lady!!!!!! No!!!! "

She rushed forward to pull back Vanessa but flew away instantly as Vanessa threw her a vicious kick hardly. 

Esme gasped softly before lowering her gaze down and saw the knife buried into her stomach tightly. Vanessa grinned widely still holding the knife and spitted out viciously, 

" Rest well in heaven Esme Watts." 

Esme turned stiff before looking up at Vanessa's victorious face blankly. Vanessa's eyes were glowing in joy as if she had finally won a trophy after so much struggling and fighting. Her face showed no pity for Esme as she kept grinning widely. Finally her days were coming back in this castle. 

But at the moment, something unexpected happened that vanished her smile away like sudden waves. Esme unexpectedly laughed back watching Vanessa's expression like fool and smirked wryly,

" You sure, you have sent me in heaven with your vicious heart, Vanessa?" 

Vanessa froze before looking down at the spot that she stabbed her. Her eyes went wide in shock as she didn't spot a single drop of blood from her stomach. It only stuck into her stomach like a clip as she looked up Esme scanfully. Indeed Esme showed no sign of pain instead she was enjoying her victorious expression like fool. 

Pulling out the knife that had screwed her gown, Vanessa muttered stepping back slowly, 

" No.. No.. it.. it can't be.. you should be bleeding or killed.. how is it possible?" 

Vanessa mumbled stepping backwards slowly as she didn't know what was happening in front of her vision. As she thought of running away saving her life, Esme quickly reached behind Vanessa's back in a blink as she screamed out in fear. 

Esme grabbed Vanessa's own hand to reach it over her throat and threatened beside her ears whispering lowly,

" What? Where did your guys go, Miss Vanessa? What if this knife goes into your throat now?" 

Vanessa panted as she saw the silver knife just over her throat and pleaded, 

" Let.. let go of me..what are you doing? Who.. who are you?" 

She shivered watching the sharp knife that could cut her throat in a second. Vampires are highly allergic to silver that could kill any mere vampires like Vanessa in a moment. Regarding pure blooded vampires, they absorb more powers than mere vampires thus killing them through knife wasn't easy. 

Esme gritted tightening the grip over her throat and sneered coldly, 

" Why are you afraid now? Weren't you enjoying her pitiful state just a while ago?" 

Vanessa whimpered feeling her veins turning weak and mumbled fearfully, 

" Tell me, who are you! Why the hell silver knife can't hurt you!" 

Esme smirked and replied in her ears whispering dangerously, 

" Blood of King Henry don't get affected by silver, Vanessa." 

Vanessa froze before turning dumb and extremely frightened. 

Did she hear her wrong? 

WHITE CASTLE, DALASTIA WORLD 

Ethan continued mumbling and groaning lowly over the bed as Evan shed silent tears sitting side. He could still remember the day when Esme was called Slut by everyone and was blamed by the high fairies that she had given birth to an illegitimate child. 

But didn't they say that the child was killed? How can she be alive till now? 

Evan had numerous questions arising in his heart as he fell in deep thoughts. It seemed like his brother and sister hid so many secrets from him. Why? Don't they find him faithful? 

He sighed and waited for Ethan to wake up. He needed answers of this questions and couldn't wait to know that what was going on exactly. He also missed Esme deeply but didn't dare to spit out because of his mother's fear. 

On the other side, the person hidden under the curtains had slipped away from there feeling completely fool and misleaded.Ester never ever imagined that the child could still be alive after so many conspiracies. 

But where was the child now? 

After spotting Katherine and Ethan on the corridor, Ester followed them quietly in case of gathering more gossips that could defame Ethan's reputation more. But he accidentally found out more secrets that the baby was still alive. Unfortunately he couldn't hear the name of Athena clearly as Ethan spitted it out vaguely. 

Passing through the corridors and stairs, he reached at his own villa blankly as his head was bursting out in anger. If the baby was still alive, his all plans could be ruined if the high fairies found out that he had conspired against them and Esme wasn't her biological mother. Only the baby's blood could reveal the truth once it got testified by the high fairies. 

No, no, it can't be happened!! 

He roared pushing the staffs from the tables harshly and shouted loudly, 

" Ester can never fail.. never... no.. no.. I will finish everyone who will come between me and my throne." 

His eyes darkened in rage as he spitted out viciously, 

" The baby wil be death again this time by myself."
