Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 253 - His Rumoured Demon Son

Dorgan chose his words cautiously to explain the matter to his king and queen. He stole a glimpse of Ayra's baby face sympathetically and continued with a deep mysterious voice,

" My King, Enchantress was the most ancient creature that lived in our world. In the past, this witches used to cast their own choosen curse through their spell. With this baby, she had done the same. But what will this curse cause to her, no one knows except that witch. Since she is dead, we really can't figure out what this mark means. Only after she starts to grew up, we can pay attention closely and try to find out that what changes are happening with her. But my research says that Enchantress has casted a long time curse inside her or else some symptoms would have shown up inside her already."

Esme's heart clenched into a tight knot painfully. She only felt that everything happened because of her. Only If she didn't bring Ayra with her to Enchantress, nothing would have happened to her daughter. Esme bore the sourness in her heart and hastily informed Dorgan,

" She..she is having nightmares..She says that she sees a pair of firing eyes in her dream. That's all happened to her."

Dorgan memorized everything inside and replied huskily,

" My lady.. This... this nightmares have something to do with her future. Enchantress chooses a very merciless way to torment this poor soul. She wants to push her slowly towards death or something else..We still don't know."

Aaron sighed helplessly, picked up Ayra in his arms and asked Dorgan concerningly,

" Then..What should we do now, Dorgan? We can't just sit down and watch her suffering everyday."

Dorgan answered crossing his arms tightly in the back,

" Pardon, My Lord. We really can't do anything apart from waiting for the curse to reach a certain age. My suggestion is that you all pay close attention to her until she grows up."

Esme sniffed and assured lowly,

" We will."

Aaron glanced at Esme and saw that she was fighting with her own tears. He also felt sorry for Ayra. She was implicated inside the mess because of his commotion with Enchantress in reality. Aaron pursued his lips together to say goodbye but Dorgan suddenly spoke with a smile,

" Congratulations for your new heirs, My Lord. Don't worry, your daughter will have so many protective brothers. They are enough to give her security."

Aaron was stunned before muttering out disbelievingly,

" Brothers..You meant..Esme.."

Even Esme was stupified and subconsciously looked down at her stomach. Dorgan smiled faintly and assured confidently his judgment,

" Yes! If I am not wrong, Lady Esme is pregnant with twin boys. They are very healthy."

Between this complex feelings, Esme finally found something to smile at foolishly. On the other side, Aaron's face turned gloomy. He fought tremondously to keep his dissapointment down and questioned uncomfortably,

" Boys? Is..is there no daughter in her womb?"

Dorgan couldn't help but laughing at Aaron's poor face. Unlike other kings, he was actually expecting a girl all the while. Dorgan shook his head denying truthfully,

" Unfortunately, not my Lord. You can give a try in the future."

Aaron sighed helplessly and buried his frustration inside his heart. Glancing up at Esme who had a light smile on her face, Aaron felt that it wasn't completely bad to have two boys at a time. At least, his wife was happy.

Then he turned to face Dorgan and said few words of bidding farewell before proceeding to leave the jungle.

By the time, they returned to Dalastia, it was nearly two o'clock at late night. Upon arriving, they saw that Ethan and Athena were waiting for them with worries on their faces. 

Ethan looked up at them gloomily and instantly his expression dropped when he noticed how Aaron was carrying Ayra who had her hands wrapped around his neck protectively. He wanted to snatch his niece back from that rebellious man but Athena's earlier reminder made his thoughts helpless.

Athena ran over to them hastily as they arrived. Pausing in front of them anxiously, she quired with nervousness,

" Brother.. What did they say? Have you met them?"

Aaron signalled at his sister to speak lowly. Ayra had fallen asleep fast on the way back to Dalastia. Athena immediately shut up and saw him passing Ayra to Esme whose expression was downcast. Athena could sense the picking tension in the air.

After Esme headed off for their bedroom with Ayra, Aaron held Athena's shoulders first softly and explained the words that Dorgan had said to them. Upon hearing, Athena's expression turned horrified including Ethan who couldn't believe that Enchantress could be so vicious over a little child.

Ethan whose intention was to pick an unreasonable fight with Aaron forgot every wraths in no moment. He came on Athena's side and asked with worry,

" What can I do to protect her then?"

Aaron glanced at him timidly and answered considerably,

" You should head for the wedding first then. After you two get married, you can protect her together."

Athena didn't had much say over this matter. Since Ethan had chosen to become the king, he could do anything with this wedding troubles. Athena only asked with concern,

" What about you two? You and Esme?"

Aaron sighed miserably and replied absentmindedly,

" I am still working on it. Hope, she forgives me."

Athena smiled faintly and encouraged after patting on his shoulder,

" Try Harder! "

Ethan casted a stern look at Aaron as if he was telling that if he didn't coax his sister, he could forget about coming back to Dalastia again. Ethan changed the topic first, intertwined his palms with Athena and informed excitedly,

" We will be holding the wedding next week. Do we need to discuss with your family members first?"

The question brought heaviness in the air among them. Athena and Aaron recalled that they still didn't do anything with their mother who was the main mastermind behind everything. Athena tugged on Ethan's sleeves nervously,

" What.. what about our mother? My brother has permitted your family to handle her since she caused your family harm."

Ethan's expression turned stiff for a while. After reconsidering that the woman was actually Athena's mother, he sighed and replied with humour,

" I will pass this decision over Serena. If she really goes back with your brother, she can decide whatever she wants. I have no say on that."

Athena nodded with understanding and asked her to take her back inside the room. Since she heard about Ayra's curse, her mind wasn't in peace for a moment.

Meanwhile, Aaron also followed Esme inside her room and saw a heartwarming scene after pushing open the door. Esme and Ayra were sleeping side by side with their arms wrapped against each others tightly.

A faint smile tugged on his lips delightly. He cautiously closed the door behind him, tiptoed over the bed and suddenly noticed teardrops underneath Esme's long eyelashes. His heart broke and knew that she was getting scared of Ayra's future.

He came across their bodies, planted a soft kiss on their foreheads. Then he whispered confidently,

" I will protect you two and our babies till the end of my life. Don't cry anymore,love. She will be fine."

Esme didn't hear his words but his promise was sincere and true.

On the other side, another commotion had spreaded out through the kingdoms of BRIGHTMOON world. Suddenly the ruler of Basarisk Kingdom made an announcement that he was going to resign very soon and his rumoured demon son would be taking the position when he turns 18.

This explosive news had suddenly brought fear, confusion among the citizens of Basarisk Kingdom.

Were they going to be tortured by a devil soon?
