After the announcement was heard among the citizens, the thunderous clapping travelled from the hallway into a certain villa where a man had engrossed himself into the darkness. Ethan was receiving warm wishes from the citizens who were eager to see him on the throne.

From a certain corner, Katherine had a proud smile whenever she thought that this man was going to her only very soon. Twirling her strand of hairs, she had a wide grin continuing on her lips until the poke from her mother aside took her back into reality.

Annoyed,she jolted before shooting her mother a disappointed look. Rolling her eyes sarcastically, Katherine blurted out sounding offended,

" What???"

Her mother gritted her teeth harder and thought of her daughter's horny acting just a while ago. Closing nearer to her, she squeezed the word tightly,

" Behave !!"

Katherine shrugged off her shoulders before returning to her earlier elegant posture.

Meanwhile, Ester had numerous scars painted on his skin and face as he looked terrible. Groaning and howling in pain frustratedly on the bed, he cursed Esme numerous times and vowed to destroy the entire family today. Even though he had no one by his side, he still refused to give up as his greed for powers was sky- rocket.

When the faint tune of clapping slipped through his darkroom, his face turned darker as he kicked the vase on the table angrily. Growling in immense anger, he squeezed the word harshly,

" Ethan Chole!!!! You will be dead tonight!! Dead!!"

He repeated rolling on the bed as the door pulled open gently by Jeremy who had a poker face. After that night, he really wanted to leave Ester's side and had wished a peaceful life without this chaos. But this man showed his true color and captured his mother as soon as he returned. In compensation, he demanded Jeremy to work for him untill he ascends the throne.

Sighing deeply, Jeremy walked over his bedside before dropping the herbal medicine on the corner table. Bowing his head reluctantly, he reported as usual but the distance in his tongue was vivid,

" Master, they have announced the final term. You two have to defeat the dragon king."

Ester groaned once again as his face scrunched up on the sight of Jeremy. Enlarged, he threw a kick towards Jeremy's stomach unreasonably and roared watching him falling down,

" Do as I said! I need to bargain with the dragon king. Tell him that prince Ester is coming to make a deal with him. I want Ethan death during this final war. If he becomes the king,I will have no place in this family. He will definitely change the law in order to take back his sister into the kingdom and will persuade the higher- ups to accept that Cursed child. No!! No!! I can't let this happen all of this. Ethan must die! I am legitimate heir.!! Only I am! Tell the dragon king that what he wants in exchange of Ethan's dead body. If the dragon king kills Ethan somehow, no one will be daring to blame him. In that case, their only choice will be me. That slut Serena has dared to threaten me with her powers. Once I ascend the throne, she and that bastard child both will be death. Both!!! Anyways have you informed that old lady regarding the child's existence?"

Ester inquire shooting death glare to Jeremy who had been kicked away onto the floor. Feeling humiliated, Jeremy got up robotically and informed in a serious tone,

" Master..I can't contact her no matter how much I am trying. Even her LG group is shifting somewhere else tonight. I have heard a rumour that her position has been banned by the vampire king. Perhaps that's the reason, she is unable to communicate with us."

Ester cursed hissing arrogantly,

" Useless!! All are useless!!! She can't even tame his own son. I thought she would be able to kill the child at least. Now I can't even inform her."

Ester continued dangling his legs from the bed and repeated his command seriously,

" Forget about her! She is no use to us from whatever I have discovered! You head for the Marriott Castle and have a discussion with the dragon king. If he agrees at any cost, tell him to name a price. I can give him anything he wants!"

Jeremy nodded compherensively and suddenly felt that indeed Queen Melinda has raised a snake in her castle for all this years.

Ester is too cruel!

_MOONSHINE CASTLE_

Esme nearly forgot about the empty bottles that had prickled numerous exclamation marks inside her mind. After following the maids downstairs, she literally felt headache after finding so many guests who will be joining the engagement party tomorrow night. It was exhausting to divide the orders between them but lucky Carol was there for offering her some help.

Concerned, Carol repeatedly watched her health closely and kept standing nearer her range. Lucky Esme seemed refreshed as if nothing occurred to her last night.

After giving them breif commands,they made took their leaves while Carol asked looking down at her dumped spirit,

" My Lady,how have you been? I intially thought of taking care of your health personally. But Lord didn't let me stay."

Carol sounded bitter as if she was regretting for not accompanying her last night. Esme was already satisfied with her expression thus she replied tapping on her palm,

" It's all right, Carol. Morever the chaos had happened between me and your lord. I don't want you suffering for no reason."

Carol opened her mouth to say something but the light commotion spreading out from the courtroom interrupted her words as it indicated that court had been adjourned. Indeed Aaron walked out of the courtroom with his head high and had an aloof aura spreading through his expression.

Spotting Esme at the couch,centre of their meeting hall, his gaze melted into a water one as he took slow steps on her way briskly. Carol retreated herself considerably as she shouldn't meddle between a couple.
