《Loved By A Vampire King》Chapter 24 - I Never Regret On My Decision !
Advertisement
A well decorated, lavishing carriage was passing through the silver city of capital.A large number of horses trailed it from behind which easily attracted the attention of passer-by.
Esme was seated inside the carriage, putting her palms together on her lap elegantly. Her curious eyes gazed outside through the transparent veil.She could easily feel that everyone was looking at her entrance.
But astonishingly, they took their gazes back as soon as they noticed the row of bodyguards behind her.
Her beautiful eyebrows knitted together as she turned her head to peek behind. Indeed her hangout was too eye-catching.
With a row of bodyguards dressing in royal guard's uniform along with a exaggerate carriage could easily draw the attention from anyone. Sighing annoyingly, she looked ahead and focused on reaching the destination that Viviana had mentioned earlier.
She hated to be the spotlight.Even in her own world, she always concealed her identity while roaming around.
Viviana mentioned that there was a beautiful, mesmerising place in the city near the river side where she should visit first.After that she will take her to visit other renowned places.So she was looking forward to see the visiting spot. At least she hoped that it would give her a little peace in her heart.
Absentmindedly she gazed ahead unknowingly remembering her past days in the human world.She was so free and frank like a bird. Even her parents never forbade her to have fun outside and she always stayed in her limits.
Suddenly the carriage stopped abruptly and she almost lost her balance from falling down.
Instantly, Vivian's roaring voice came out loud,
" What's wrong with you, Lady? Are you blind? Didn't you see the carriage? How dare you block our path? Do you want to die?"
Esme frowned curiously from inside.The voice grew louder as she wanted to have a look. Tidying up her slightly disheveled clothes, she made her way outside.Viviana was already down there burning in rage and seemed to scold a passers-by harshly.
Instantly her dazzling appearance attracted the crowd and everyone watched her surprisingly and whispered something among each others. She wore a long white gown, plain and simple as her long hairs were hanging aside.She didn't seem rich or spoiled princess but her aura emitted the beauty of an elegant lady.

Ignoring their gazes, she moved forward to see the commotion and was slightly stunned as she reached behind Viviana.
An old lady at his seventies was stood in front of Viviana lowering her head quietly.She seemed to turn a deaf ear at her harsh words and was enduring everything.
Her body was drooped down and she wore teared clothes appearing very poor and pitiful. Though Esme didn't see her face vividly, she spoke approaching near Vivana,
" Viviana, what happened here?"
Viviana was enlarged and turned away before speaking cautiously lowering down her voice than before,
" My Lady, why did you come down?"
Pointing at the old woman, she continued angrily,
" Look at this woman. She suddenly appeared on our path from nowhere and caused the carriage to stop abruptly. What if there would be an accident?King would have definitely beheaded each one of us."
This time Esme stared at the lady deeply and consoled Viviana saying,
" Let her go. Nothing happened at the end. Also it's not her fault. Perhaps she tried to cross the road and suddenly came on our way. "
Though she met Vivana only a few hours ago,she discovered that she wasn't aloof as she appeared to be. On the way of their coming out, Esme made a great bond with Viviana and almost started treating her as a friend.
Viviana looked convinced after hearing her lady and nodded before shooting a hateful glare to the old lady whose face was half covered with a shawls.
Then Esme noticed something and asked curiously,
" This lady, isn't she.. a human? How come there is a human in vampire world?"
Viviana replied looking around giving the crowd a silent warning to leave the spot,
" We do have some humans living in our world, my lady.They were only brought by our kings for any special purposes and later permitted them to live here as long as they wanted. No vampires are allowed to drink their blood and they live peacefully among vampires."
Esme hummed understandingly as Viviana gestured her to return inside the carriage while she walked first forward.
Esme took only two steps when she heard a hoarse,gruff voice,

" Leave... Leave this world..
Die.. all will die... "
Esme was stunned and turned back frowning hard at her sudden words. She was confused at the meaning of her words and approached near her frightened body gently asking,
" Did you say something?"
The old lady tensed up immediately and seemed frightened as she spoke abruptly,
" I.. I... Nothing.. nothing.. Just remember that you will get back to where you belong...only through.... the Reisan Hallow."
After saying her words, she quickly left the place not giving Esme the chance of asking anything further.
Esme parted her lips to ask something but the old lady seemed to fly away from there walking inside a jungle supporting the bamboo stick on her left hand.
Leaving her in a completely puzzled state, she disappeared from her vision as her words reverberated in her mind continuously.
Viviana's urging voice came from her back,
" My lady, get on the carriage. We have to return to the castle before evening fall down."
Esme jolted slightly and forcefully flashed away the thoughts coming across her mind before heading towards the carriage.
What answer.. what Reisan Hallow..!!!!!!
She couldn't help but recalling each words carefully before felling deep in thoughts.
Back inside the
MOONSHINE CASTLE,
Though it was daytime, the study room was half darkened without a flick of sunlight.The man on the easy chair leaned behind leisurely. His deep read eyes were slightly narrowed while he read the papers on his hand attentively.
He moved a bit in his spot before leaning forward and putting down the papers on the desk. He rubbed his sore temple and suddenly hold the left side of his chest clutching the clothes tightly.
His handsome face rapidly turned black in pain before he started taking long breathes.His body collapsed behind with his eyes closed shut tightly.The blue veins on his forehead tightened at the intense pain arousing from his chest.
His trembling hand stretched out and opened the drawer of the desk.Hastily his hand traced among the staffs and soon found a little bottle of medicine.
He stuffed the pills on his mouth before gasping out searching for some airs. Shortly after his body sobered up and leaned behind again in relax.
The door was pushed open along with the sound of boots rattling on the marble floor.
Aaron spoke with a faint smile pestering on his lips,
" You came back, Jasper?"
Jasper gave a respective bow to his master and spoke politely,
" Yes, my king. I have completed my task in the east side reign."
Jasper Graham was the most loyal and long lasted bodyguard of Aaron.He accompanied Aaron since the earlier days of his life when he was only the young prince.
Their relationship was rather friendly than master & subordinate. He was the only friend that Aaron got by his side when he was in grieve danger.Aaron valued his opinion more than everyone else.
Their bond was so deep that Aaron's slightly pale face didn't escape away from his vision as he frowned and asked with great concern,
" Your highness, are you alright?
Is the pain arousing again?"
Aaron waved his hand and spoke getting up from the chair,
" I'm alright now. Did you find him?"
Jasper shook his head and replied still gazing at him anxiously,
" No, your highness. But I got some clues about his whereabouts. I will track him down soon, rest assured. "
Aaron nodded setting the papers on the shelf and spoke with his dimmed eyes,
" I trust you, Jasper. That's why I gave you the charge of finding him. You know that I don't show mercy when it regards my reign. "
Jasper spoke giving him another deep and confined gaze,
" That's mean, you won't hesitate to use anyone if it regards your kingdom."
Aaron paused, turned back before catching the hidden meaning behind his words.His face was deadpan as he spoke in a cold tone,
" Yes, I will. I can go to any extent to achieve my motive. "
Jasper smiled faintly and watched the ruthless man blankly before adding,
" Why do I have the feeling that this time you will regret for using that person!"
Aaron seemed irritated and started putting the papers on the shelf again. He faced Jasper and spoke with a menacing voice,
" I never regret on my decision, you know it."
Jasper also replied putting on a faint smile,
" I hope, you won't. "
