Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 260 - Where We Started Everything!

RECOMMENDED SONG: It's You By Alie Gatie ~?

_WHITE CASTLE, DALASTIA_

Esme's eyes went wide in happiness after watching Carol safe and unharmed over the doorway.The day when she had gone missing, somehow she felt guilty for dragging her into this mess. Esme went over to them excitedly and immediately pulled her into a tight hug. Carol was stunned for a while then beamed into a wide smile.She hugged back and spoke between her choking gratefully,

" My Lady..how are you doing?"

Esme unlocked their embrace and looked up at her smiling happily. She spoke with relief feigning from her tone,

" It's so good to see you back,Carol. I never thought that I could ever see you alive in this days. I am fine as you can see. What about you and the rest of you?"

Esme inquired glancing between Carol and Viviana who appeared genuinely happy with this warm behavior of Esme. It was something that they could never expect from a queen. Viviana gave her a faint smile and replied with a bit remorse,

" We are all doing well. Except Lord, he expects your arrival soon in Moonshine."

Esme's smile dropped a little bit. With her eyes dropping down,she hid her emotions and rushed them both together inside,

" Let's take you two inside my room. The ceremony is over now."

Carol smiled faintly and inteneded to trail her off closely but Aaron's voice made them halting in their tracks. Esme paused and glanced back at him confusingly. Aaron came over to her after passing Ayra to Siemus and informed in a serious tone,

" Something cropped inside the kingdom.I will have to leave for a few days after this ceremony."

Esme frowned slightly and wanted to know what happened in the kingdom. Even the news of his departure didn't make her happy at all. She dismissed those feelings and replied with an awkward smile,

" Uhh..Go ahead..I will keep Carol here to accompany me."

Aaron's face fell a little.He expected that at least she would show any reluctantance of leaving him. Ignoring those heartaches, Aaron smiled weakly,

" All right! As you wish."

Carol glanced between the two lovers who were having cold war unnecessarily. She could now only persuade Esme to return for any cost. Esme didn't stay any longer.Dragging Carol behind her back,she headed off for her own room from the hallway. Aaron sighed miserably at his retreating back. He vowed this time that he would come back few months later until she starts missing him.

Carol had been dragged inside Esme's room who started blabbering happily about the changes that she was facing this days. One could say that how happy she was from inside because of her pregnancy with twins. Viviana stayed on the doorway and heard their chatter with a smile. It would be perfect if their Lord would be forgiven by Esme soon.

At some point, Carol finally mustered up the courage to question her,

" My Lady, aren't you planning to go back?"

Esme's face stiffened a little. She dropped those new clothes that she made for her babies and replied abruptly,

" Carol..I.. Actually I haven't thought about it.."

Carol's expression turned gloomy.She emphasized her words while hauling up,

" My Lady, you are actually hurting yourself in this process. No matter how many times you say that you are doing well, the truth is right in front of my eyes. You aren't happy without Lord here. This transparent emotions will affect your baby too. Why don't you understand that?"

Esme lost her calmness after being triggered in her sensitive spot. She sucked a deep breath and replied with a loud voice,

" I understand everything Carol. It's just..I can't forget that what he has done to me..He was deceving me everyday. I admit that he was very good to me but it doesn't change the fact that he was actually using me all this time just to save his own life..One time, Carol..If he had just asked me that he needed my blood, I would have given him all the blood of my body..But he chose to lie..He chose to lie untill my heart started hating him.. What can we do then?"

Carol went silent after her agony and was lost of words. Indeed Aaron was severely guilty this time. Just as she thought of giving up, Jasper's loud voice rang in the air from doorway,

" My Lady, then you should also know that he has saved your life. This should be a reason to forgive him, isn't it?"

Esme glanced over Jasper who was coming in to inform that they would be leaving now. His face was cold as he continued while stepping in,

" Though Lord has never mentioned about his sacrifice, after hearing your words, I couldn't stand it anymore. The reason behind loosing half of his Soul powers was you, Lady. During your mating ceremony, you were nearly death but he risked his life just to save yours. Even he had broken the rules and entered into our forbidden lake to get herbs for you. If he couldn't give you that herb on time, you would have been death by now. Is this reason enough to prove you that he actually loved you truly?"

Esme froze in her spot including Carol who kept staring at Jasper blankly to see through that was hw really speaking the truth or not. Esme opened her abruptly and muttered,

" When..when..did he do that for me.."

Jasper answered coldly,

" The day that he marked you."

Esme started to feel a little drowsy. Supporting the bedpost to stand still, her tears started to roll down invoulantarily. She couldn't believe that he had actually betted his life for her sake.

Carol got nervous upon noticing her poor state. She wanted to comfort her but Esme had already ran outside hastily. Carol shouted and wanted to chase after her but Jasper stopped with cold voice,

" Let her go..She needs to see the right side of her mind.."

Carol grunted and shot him a cold look,

" You made her cry! "

Jasper sighed softly, looked around and replied deeply,

" You need to get your heartache once in a while just to figure out what is right for you. She needed to get this bad feeling today, Carol or else they would have never reconciled probably."

Meanwhile, Esme ran through the crowd, corridors and hallway anxiously to find out Aaron. But he was nowhere to be seen. Morever the places were heavily crowded as the ceremony had come an end and they were getting served by the royal staffs lavishingly.

Athena who was greeting the elders caught a glimpse of Esme's desperate look.She whispered to Ethan softly who was busy in ensuring her safety,

" Hey, why is your sister running away everywhere? Is everything all right? Even I don't see my brother around here."

Ethan crooked his brows tightly and wandered his sharp eyes around,

" Where did you see her? Let's have a look."

Athena hummed in response. Supporting her heavy gown, she wrapped her arms around Ethan's arms and started to head outside to check on Esme who seemed anxious badly.

Meantime, Esme had already rushed outside of White Castle. Standing in front of the courtyard, she panted heavily and swiped her eyes across the surrounding anxiously.

Did he really go back without telling her?

She gasped to breath properly and finally located a familiar back in a corner hiding into the darkeness. Without wasting no more time,she ran after him and paused abruptly behind his back.

Aaron who noticed familiar footsteps turned around astonishingly and asked with concern,

" Esme..Did you just run? You are pregnant... Gosh.."

Esme didn't answer any of his words. She merely glanced at him with her tearful eyes and suddenly jumped onto him to hug. Aaron froze and didn't know how to respond for a long time.

After a few moments of silent embracing, Esme asked with a low voice beside his ears,

" Are..are you going back to Moonshine?"

Aaron felt his breathing hitched slightly. Her voice was resounding cracky and vulnerable. He whispered back painfully,

" Yes..I will go back now and won't disturb you for a long time.."

Esme's body shook a little. She gulped with her tears falling down like an endless stream and pleaded lowly,

" Can..Can I accompany you in the Moonshine?"

At a distant away, Athena finally smiled widely with relief. They didn't expect them hugging so intimately once they arrived in the courtyard. Ethan's face still remained a little gloomy. Athena poked on his waist hardly to hear out his surprised cry. Once he gave her a stern look, Athena commented with a flirtatious smile,

" Fiancee, let's travel where we started everything."
