Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 162 - Dragon King Part 2

MOONSHINE CASTLE,

The morning sun flickered through the loopholes of transparent curtains falling down over the girl who kept sleeping soundly. As her biological clock awakened her from sleeping, she snapped her head right and left instinctively before opening up her eyes groggily. Blinking her heavy eyelashes, she took an observant look of her surrounding as memories from last night quickly hit her realization.

Hauling up from the bed, Esme looked aside but the expectant personal was already gone. Except the memory where Aaron saved her from getting beaten up, the rest of time was blur and indistinctive inside her head.

Still having a little sour on her forehead, Esme let out a low grunt while clutching her forehead and headed for the washroom hastily.

What had happened with her? Did she unleash too much powers and caused her health harmed?

She wandering while stumbling into the bathroom and later after got out changing into a pair of neat clothes. Thinking that Aaron might be still angry on her attitude from last night, she headed for the study to find out him quickly.

As she reached near the stairs, a maid who was on the way of serving Queen Mother breakfast had informed that Aaron was already left for the courtroom. Also the castle was getting prepared for the exaggerated engagement ceremony of Athena.

Esme hummed coldly before dragging her lazy body into the study room in case she failed to coax his temper for being late. It was better to resolve everything between them before things go far.

She pulled open the door gently before walking in and had directly occupied his chair on the other side. Leaning against the chair leisurely, she waited for Aaron as her gaze randomly searched for anything to kill the meantime.

Finding nothing but her disliked books, she pushed open the drawers one by one casually untill the empty medicine bottles had caught her attention successfully. A little suspicious, she pulled out a bottle and roamed her sharp eyes on it suspiciously.

She wasn't familiar with the herbs that belonged to Vampire world. Thus she didn't get the exact meaning for having this medicine frequently. Just when she decided to inquire Aaron once he comes back from courtroom, a maid interrupted her pre planned thoughts while knocking on the door lightly.

Esme jerked lightly before putting it back on its spot and replied calmly,

" Come In !"

The maid headed in lowering her head down and reported respectively,

" My Lady, Lord has asked you to arrange the ceremony."

Esme was surprised a bit before asking back curiously,

" Mmm.. Shouldn't queen mother take the charge?"

The maid was reluctant and replied with much hesitant,

" She..she has been banished from all her rights. Now only you can supervise us. Please,the staffs are all waiting for your order downstairs."

Esme sighed as her expression surfaced with guilt. Waving her hands dismissively, she mumbled while slipping out from her chair,

" I..I get it..Let's go downstairs."

WHITE CASTLE, DALASTIA WORLD

It was an exciting day for the netizens of Dalastia world who awaited impatiently for their new king to be elected. Even though they all wished that Ethan could win the throne,still they had the usual anxiety of witnessing a deadly fight between two rightful heirs.

The cloud weren't clear in the sky and sometimes the sunlight also dimmed down as the clouds dominated it from shining. The castle was in uproar as the citizens were all looking forward towards the fight which will be going to happen at the one- third period of tonight.

As the high fairies were all arrived to report the rules, Ethan had been woken up early in the morning to join the meeting. They all gathered up in the hallway clumsily and waited for another opponent to show up.

It was Ester who was late for the first time while joining a meeting regarding their selection ceremony.

Evan was accompanying his brother in the hallway and couldn't help but feeling suspicious over Ester's calmness in this ceremony. Moving beside Ethan, Evan whispered in a low voice,

" Brother, I am having bad feelings on Ester. He seems weird from last. Even his assistant didn't accompany him from last night and is nowhere to be seen."

Ethan frowned and replied back in a low voice,

" Is that so? I wasn't aware about his tasks this days. Furthermore he shouldn't be late at this moment. Where did he go?"

The high fairies had a dissatisfied expression as they kept glancing at the wall clock frequently. Even Queen Melinda felt disappointed for keeping wait this higher ups and commanded elegantly from her queen throne,

" Mr.Rodrige , please continue reporting the terms. Someone can pass it over Ester later. We can't keep waiting for so long. He might have gotten busy with anything else."

Even though the high fairies seemed hesitant but secretly they were in relieved that they didn't had to wait for that illegitimate prince. Although his mother had gotten married with the king at the end,still they had great dissatisfaction with Ester's existence.

Mr.Rodrige bowed his head longingly and showed utmost respect towards everyone present inside the hall room. Walking into the centre of hallway, he pulled out a piece of paper piece from his side pocket and announced loudly towards the crowd,

" Everyone,after accomplishing three trials with our competitors, we have finally reached the final session of having our rightful king. We will follow the old terms of defeating the superior dragon king, Arnaldo Dixon who will come to fight against our competitors tonight. Who will defeat the dragon king will elect as our king! The only condition of winning this fight is that you can't kill the dragon king,only defeat is allowed."

The crowd cheered up clapping happily but Queen Melinda had wore a dark face as soon as the mention of dragon king was announced inside the hallroom.

She wished that they would change the terms but however no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't talk back against the group of higher ranks.

At least, who didn't know about the ruthless king?

A DISTANT LAND far away from the two parallel worlds was standing at the middle of ocean peacefully. The floating clouds above the midsized castle was darker than other clouds which were roaming nearby. The wind of ocean were random and fierce which passed through the face of a standing woman who was looking up at the luminous sky with her expectant eyes.

Her long sighs were frequent as she kept staring at the certain way blankly. The gown on her body was lavishing as she spreaded a pleasant aura around. Her eyes were hopeful as if she was expecting someone's presence for years.

Her soft palm rested on her protruding belly gently as a bitter smile formed in her lips. The butler beside him exhaled a long breath helplessly when he witnessed the purity of her face.

How could Lord treat her so badly!!

Soon after, a loud bone chilling snarling echoed in the air of Waveland breaking through the sky as the butler trembling before scurrying away hurriedly. But the smile on that woman's lips grew wider as she spotted the gigantic animal descending down from the sky flattering his long wings.

Letting out another row of thunderous snarling, the brown skinned dragon landed down on the courtyard of Marriott Castle with a thud. His footsteps left a scratch where he descended as his presence trembled each corners of castle vigorously.

Under the woman's watchful gaze,the dragon soon after turned into a man with poker face in a blink. Wearing an ancient long coat on his body, he seemed like those ancient gods who had powers but not expression. 

Patting his arms lightly, he walked into the castle ignoring the woman who had been waiting for him all the while. Just when he was nearly passed the entrance, the woman rushed over to him and called out softly,

" Hus.. husband..?"

The man paused abruptly but didn't offer her a single glance. With a heart wrenching pain, the woman spoke in a low voice pain leaped from her tongue,

" To.. today..I have reached the 11 months of my labor. Won't you complete the ritual with me?"

The man suddenly cracked into a goofy smile and turned his face sideway to inspect the man. Sneering out coldly, he spoke between his gritted teeth,

" Do you think that I will celebrate the ritual for your bastard child?"

The woman shuddered lightly as his words directly stabbed into her poor heart. Choking on her words painfully, she murmured clinging into his arms,

" Stop speaking like that!! He.he is your child after all.. You are his nominal father."

The man shoved her hands off ruthlessly causing her to back off as he enlarged like a beast,

" Don't call him my child ever!! He is a demon..he is a demon created by you and your evil magics. Don't spoil my bloodline while calling him my child. He will be never mine. The world will only hate him to death. "

The man roared and spilled out all of his harsh words in a breath before charging forward into the castle hastily.

The woman behind her roared back letting her cries wetting the carpetted floor,

" He isn't DEMON ! He is my child! Mine!! If the world hates him, I will still love him. I will..!! There will be definitely someone to love him when I am gone. There will be if God hears out my daily prayer."

She cried until her throat dried as she fell down on the floor..
