Chapter 195 - The Source Of All Evil Powers !
As if time had stopped moving, the entire hallway fell in dense silence for a couple of moments.Before anyone could react, the average crowd started whispering as panic flashed across their expressions.
Even Aaron himself was stunned for a moment including Esme whose mouth agaped in fear. She kept staring at Aaron panicking silently but couldn't find a word to spit out.
Mr.Rogers who was delighted about her outcome quickly changed his focus and turned around to see Jasper trembling vigorously. Aaron sucked a deep breath and soon after his whole aura changed into a terrifying one.
Before Aaron couldn't pass his order, Mr.Rogers urged him and others impatiently,
" We have to stop them from entering into this city or else everyone will die."
Pausing a bit between his words, Mr.Rogers gestured towards the old lord who would be far more than happy to comply this order,
" Deal with this bitch here."
Mr.Rogers indicated this to Esme and earned a cunning grin from old Lord who had already thought that this could be the best opportunity to fulfill his intentions. As expected, Aaron's attention was slightly diverted from Esme as he instructed Jasper quickly something in a low voice.
Then turning around to face Queen Mother, he ordered coldly,
" Call off the engagement now.Everything needs to be postponed now."
Queen Mother didn't dare to rebuke his order and nodded compherensively. Turning back to Esme, his eyes flickered with complex emotions as the girl had no reaction on her face at all. At least, he hoped that she would show him a little emotion after hearing out this news but nothing came out from her side.
But her silent emotions was more killing to Aaron than her spoken words.
He gulped down his saliva nervously and whispered painfully,
" Wait for my come back please.I will tell you everything."
At that moment the girl whose heart was already racing in an unknown fear finally decided to look up at him. Her eyes quivered when she saw through the vulnerability in his eyes. Subconsciously her lips pursued together to say something but the man had already turned around to head outside.
Before his step could touch the floor, Aaron halted in his track midway and abruptly turned around slightly. Exhaling a restless sigh, he only left her with few words before scurrying away hurriedly,
" If I don't come back, please make sure that three of you can be safe and sound. You have grudges against me but not with others."
After saying his final words, Aaron headed outside while leaving the woman in her stunned state. Esme bit down her lips together in fear and forced her choking voice to hold down.
What did he mean by not coming back?
Behind Aaron, the councilmen also trailed him off closely leaving Esme's matter over Old Lord to justify alone. Queen Mother quickly gave a long bow towards the crowd and apologised sincerely,
" Pardon us,we have got an urgent situation to handle. We would like to postpone our ceremony today. I will inform everyone before picking up another new date."
The crowd nodded with understanding as fear flashed across their faces.
Who didn't know about the witch, Enchantress?
Zave's expression sullened dangerously as he shot Athena a sharp glare. Obviously he heard clearly her last words and still couldn't believe that he was humiliated by a woman in front of so many civilians.
Sneering coldly, he announced in a cold voice,
" I will also retreat from here. The border needs my presence, Queen Mother."
Queen Mother quickly waved her hand with understanding and allowed him to leave. Soon after, the crowd started to leave one by one behind Zave.
Now it was time to face Esme who still couldn't assert Aaron's last words. A part of her turned numb as the man left her with a pile of emotions.
The old Lord immediately shifted his attention back on Esme fiercely and commanded to the guards who was standing beside her dumbfounding quitely,
" What are you doing,guys? Have you gone bewitched by this woman too? Arrest her and send her to the prison now. Make sure that no one dares to provide her any food or drink."
The guards were immediately snapped out from their thoughts and quickly started binding Esme with chain like other prisoner. Esme didn't protest and cooperated with them obediently.
As the guards started dragging her out from the hallway, she only gave the old lord and Vanessa a cold glare before stepping out from there.
Athena watched her retreating back pitifully as her eyes flashed with remorse.
How she wished that she could inform Ethan right away?
After the old Lord had departed from there too, the hallway had only Queen Mother and Athena alone including Vanessa who just stood at corner like an innocent child. Taking two large stride over Athena, Queen Mother quivering in anger before landing a hard slap over Athena's cheeks.
As if she was expecting this slap, Athena didn't show any reaction and only grit down her teeth together in disgust. She heard queen mother sneering coldly,
" You think that I haven't heard you clearly? How dare you refuse to get engaged in front of so many people? Who gave you the guts to ruin my reputation in the society? You.... shameful.."
Athena suddenly laughed softly as her eyes looked up to face this cruel woman who once destroyed all the happiness from her life with her own bare hands. Stepping near Queen Mother who stepped back abruptly in fear, Athena spoke remorsefully,
" It's my misfortune that I was born from you, queen mother. Or else this shameless woman would have maiden you corpse a long time ago."
Athena spoke and shifted her attention on Vanessa who was pretending to be innocent all the time. Crossing pass the old woman whose eyes dilated in fear after hearing out Athena's tongue, Athena walked over Vanessa and spoke while carrying a cunning smile,
" Thanks to you. You have made everything more easy for them."
Vanessa was stunned and narrowed her gaze questioning silently. Athena didn't bother to spend her breathing over a shrewd like her and headed upstairs directly.
_MARRIOT CASTLE_
The cries of Jasmine didn't subside a little instead it got worsened eventually as each moment passed by. Though the pain was severe and unbearable, the expectant baby didn't show any sign of coming out.
Oscar finally reacted as his gaze flickering with hatred. He roared to a healer who was outside,
" Why is it taking so long? Just drag that shit out her stomach. Can't you see that she is having so much pain? Why must she suffer for that piece of shit ?"
The healer immediately shrieked in fear as his head dived down fearfully. The healer responded with a sigh,
" We can't do anything,milord. The babies born from blood magic has their own characteristics. I suggest you to leave for the war. He won't come in this world so soon."
Oscar's expression immediately turned more darker as he asked back hoarsely,
" Why won't he come so soon?"
The healer hesitated before replying in a low voice,
" Milord, this baby of yours is far more dangerous than any other living existed around us. I am assuming that he isn't not only evil. He is the source of all evil powers."
Oscar startled in his spot immediately and blurted out in shock,
" Reason? "
The healer didn't answer back immediately and fell into a deep dillemma.
How could he tell him about this disaster coming ahead?
