When Esme opened her drowsy eyes, she discovered herself in a luxurious bedroom. She had no idea about when she had fallen asleep while crying with her ravaged heart. Her body felt shaky as she hadn't eaten anything even not a single drop of water since she was abducted here.

Her eyes roamed around gradually inside the room hence became dilated with amusement. There were several maids already waiting for her standing politely. Everything in this room appeared precious even the glass over the small table was made of pure gold. It was glinting in front of her eyes radiantly.

As she attempted to get up, just the next moment her elbows went numb and she fell on the bed again. The maids seemed anxious as they hurriedly held her in a mild manner and served some savoury food in front of her,

" Lady, please eat some food. Your body seems quite weak. You must have to be strong for the prenuptial ceremony."

Esme felt puzzled when she heard those words. After pondering for a moment, she tried to recall her last conversation with that cruel king. It became apparent that as soon as she agreed to get married to him, everything altered in a blink of an eye. She was no longer caged like a captive in that gloomy room and the maids from the castle were also being courteous with her.

Esme smiled bitterly. Everyone indeed had a specific intention behind their actions. But she still didn't know what was the motive of this vicious king!

Even she suspected if anyone knew her true identity, this could be a reason behind this abduction. Yet as she was living a life just like an ordinary human being, why did they still attack her?

After all, getting banned from her own world was only known to the insiders of her clan.

When she was continuously roaming inside her thoughts, the commotion brought her sense back to reality. Very soon, an elegant middle-aged woman stepped inside the room gracefully.

Esme moved her eyes from the food and found a pair of piercing eyes staring towards her. Though she was a middle-aged woman, her skin seemed so smooth almost like a teenage girl.

Esme couldn't resist frowning in confusion as she noticed the maids were bowing down their heads respectfully.

Precisely she perceived that she should also bow down her head but her numb body couldn't collaborate with her due to her frailty. After all, she was no longer a healthy and strong woman at this moment.

Queen mother was literally irate deep inside her heart but she couldn't blame her now for that. Above all the marriage hadn't happened yet. She just had to keep everything concealed inside her heart.

She ordered coldly throwing a sharp gaze towards the maids,

" How long will you guys take to makeup her?

Don't you know that the wedding should be completed before the eclipse ends?

Hurry up! "

The maids jolted in their spot and nodded vigorously. Esme was watching everything blankly.

Very surprisedly, Queen Mother didn't utter a word to her and left the room. The maids urged Esme to finish her food as soon as possible. After that, they proceeded with her towards the wedding bath.

All the while, she remained quiet and let the maids done everything with her body just like a puppet. Her mind was loaded with so many memories at that moment. Even after abandoning her own family, she found another family and the warm love of her human parents.

Everything is gone now!

Is it her fate to be parted from her loved ones?

Was it the verge of her life or new inception?

The lukewarm water fell on her head and hit her hasty thoughts instantly. She gulped all of her bitter feelings and followed every ritual.

After finishing off her bath, the maids took her in front of a wardrobe and began dressing her hurriedly.

They made her wore a long black gown that had a plethora of white stone stars on it. Just by a glimpse over it, she recognized that every star-like jewel over the gown was made of diamond. A transparent long veil was over her head to cover her glamorous face while hiding her bitter feelings from this whole cruel world. Her drawn eyes seemed more seductive because of her long eyelids. Her delicate lips were painted with deep red colour lipstick which was giving her an aura of sexiness.

The maids were all stunned and bewildered by her glamour and gave some sincere compliment,

" My lady, you look so beautiful. "

" So many women will envy you today. "

" Oh my!! Our lord will go insane just by looking at your face. "

Esme turned a deaf ear to their comments and continued drooping down her head.

Suddenly a cold voice came from outside of the room,

" Bring her to the wedding venue. "

The maids hurriedly held her gown and slowly guided her towards a way that was unknown to Esme.

Esme was not in the temperament to observe the outside properly. Very politely, she walked with the maids towards the way directed by them. After a while, they all seemed to stop in front of a giant entrance.

One of the maids asked loudly to unlock the door for them. The two chubby maids standing beside her were giggling continuously and seemed to gossip about some flirtatious and naughty things. Instantly Esme realized that they had arrived at the wedding venue hence her heart clenched hardly.

The door opened with a crack sound but Esme felt like it was the sound of her heart shattering into pieces.

One of the maids whispered in her ear,

" My lady, we have entered the wedding venue. Please walk with elegancy. There will be so many people watching over you."

Reluctantly her eyes took a peek of the wedding platform for the groom and bride and found a tall figure waiting for her..

A piece of melodious piano music started playing as the maid gestured her to keep walking..

Slowly and elegantly, she took every pace towards the wedding platform. Everyone watched her walking towards her groom but she felt herself slowly stepping towards the hell..

With her every pace, she was walking towards a living demon..

Once again, she cursed her fate !!
