For a very few moments, Carol had lost her speeches as if she was thrown into the ocean of questions. She could feel her heart pounding faster against her chest. Her back was turning freezy cold as conclusions started gathering up.

From Valeria's knowledge on medicines, Carol knew that there wasn't any chance of lying here.Valeria was renowned inside the tribe of White witches who practiced medicines over decades and had worked for the well being of creatures.

Watching Carol's sullen expression, Valeria blinked before asking out curiously,

" What is wrong with you? Who..who drinks this portion? Taking encounter of this portion, an average Vampire can't afford this medicine except the high ranked ones. Is..is it anything related to the Royal Family?"

Valeria asked,her black eyes were turning darker in anticipation. She knew that Carol worked for Vanessa in the castle. Thus making this assumption wasn't very surreal for Jasmine.

On the contrary, Carol's kept her mouth shut as her brows were furrowing together in numerous questions.

Did Lord know her identity from the beginning so that he married her on purpose? Or it was all pre planned along with Queen Mother?

Carol's mind stopping working for a moment as she whispered from her daze state,

" Val...are you telling me the truth? This..this recovery needs a blood of white creature?"

Valeria nodded compherensively and reassured while inspecting the bottle once again in her palm,

" That's it. I can't forget the medicine that I have been researching for a long time. Carol, why did you turn so ashen? Is that medicine belonged to any special person? "

Carol ignored her questions and snapped out from her thoughts. Widening her eyes in shock, Carol sutured anxiously squeezing her palm tightly,

" Then.. then.. wouldn't it become a problem if any Vampire share a legitimate relationship with a white creature? Because we aren't allowed to marry a white creature afer all. How..how can this process work then?"

Valeria hummed and thought that Carol seemed over excited regarding this issue. As she was her good friend since childhood, Valeria didn't hide anything from her.

Drawing a long breath in frustration, Valeria explained in a deep voice,

" You got the right point, Cal. It is illegitimate in our law to get married with a white creature. As the number of jinx blooded creatures are very less and rare, we haven't witnessed such situation ever. But I have heard from my seniors that some ancient Vampires used their tricks to marry a white creature secretly. Once they got their motives after marking and sucking blood from the white creature, they killed the white creature before this news could able to leak outside. In this way, they had saved themselves from getting punished by the council."

Carol was astounded as soon as Valeria explained the entire situation clearly. Her knees were turning numb as soon as Esme's death lingered in her mind.

Breathing and panting rapidly, Carol stood up from the ground groggily without exchanging a single word with Valeria.

As Valeria pursued her lips to speak up, Carol gave her a hasty reply before scurrying away hurriedly,

" Val, I will Visit you again some other day. I must return to the castle right away. Don't tell anyone about this medicine or blood. I will get back to you soon."

Carol blabbered before flinging open the door in shot and headed for her riding horse hastily. Behind her, Valeria kept staring at her retreating back flabbergasted and couldn't understand what was going on Carol's mind.

Who have this jinx Blood in his veins?

Climbing onto her riding horse hastily, Valeria murmured to herself lowly feeling afraid for Esme's safety,

" Lady.. please wait for me..You should know everything before it's too late."

She repeated this phrase inside her mind before start driving on the way of Moonshine.

This conspiracy should be revealed to Esme!

MARRIOT CASTLE,

Jeremy mustered up the courage to look at his expression deeply but couldn't define the thoughts that he were thinking on.

Oscar was relaxed but the dark layer behind his gaze couldn't be hidden away for so long. The most disdained thought in his life was being threatened by a mere person who couldn't even match his status.

A moment of silence crept away as both parties chose to keep quiet untill a sudden laughter buzzed in the air of court Marriott. A little taken back, Jeremy gulped nervously and tried to keep his momentum calm.

Impression over Ester's guts to ask for his help, Oscar laughed really hard and poured another glass of wine as if he was enjoying a great show.

Although Oscar had hatred towards the child that was Jasmine carrying on, he never thought of getting rid of it inhumanly for the last few moments. No matter how much grudges they had, he couldn't hurt the woman whom he loved dearly. Here, he was threatened by a brainless Prince who somehow got to know the news of him having a demon baby.

Holding back the laughter and mockery, Oscar swirled the wine glass in his hand dramatically. His eyes were turning cold as he asked back Jeremy nonbothered,

" Mmm..is it? But I prefer to judge my opponent's ability before assigning him any work."

Pausing between his task, he crooked his eyebrows tightly and looked down at Jeremy asking back,

" How about I let you fight with my trained dragon? If you can win and meet my satisfaction, we can think about the collaboration. What do you say?"

Jeremy's expression turned gloomy in no moment as if someone had thrown trashes on his face. He knew that he could never win against his magical dragon let alone fighting.

Showing an embarrassed smile, Jeremy sutured,

" How..how can I have the gut of fighting against the soldier of Dragon King? How..how about we think about the either choice? We..will help you getting rid of that baby and in return, you will kill Prince.. Ethan..."

Jeremy proposed in a breath and held the breath into his lungs. As soon as he was done speaking, a loud cracking sound echoed in the giant spacious courtroom.

Looking up at Oscar, Jeremy found that his wine glass had been broken into pieces. His expression changed into a stormy one as if cyclones were going to encounter into this space.

Jeremy was scared out of his wits and solemnly wanted to fly away saving his life. But once the works had been done, he needed to face the consequences.

Standing like a sculpture, Jeremy waited for the storm to fell upon on him and sweated hard. Oscar jerked off from his throne instantly and roared thunderously,

" Who does your prince think of himself? You dared to poke in my private life? Who gave you the guts of mentioning my family? "

Jeremy shivered feeling his back turning numb in fear as soon as he spotting his lavatic gaze ready to swallow him whole. Swallowing hard, Jeremy attempted to coax his anger bringing up a reasonable explained,

" Milord..We.. have no ill intentions on your family.. Prince Ester was trying.."

His rest of words were stuck into his tongue as soon as Oscar starred striding down. Before he could turn back, Oscar's nailed fingers grasped his collarbone cheekily causing the low blooded Vampire to suffocate till death.

Oscar didn't loose his grip at all and used his all strength in an attempt to wring off his head from the spot. Gnashing his row of sharp teeth together, Oscar spoke in a bone shivering tone lowly,

" No one can hurt my family not even your brainless Prince. I intially thought of electing the rightful prince for the throne. After looking through your intentions, I will make sure that Ethan take the throne."

After finishing his words, he threw Jeremy's body backward harshly without showing a glimpse of merciness.

Before Jeremy could attempt to get up, Oscar added stepping near at his fallen body,

" Go and tell your prince that his ending has come nearer."

VAMPIRE WORLD,

The wild horse of Carol ran faster crossing the empty paths and jungle streets manically. As the owner urged him to run fast, the wild horse didn't leave any attempt to drive faster and continued running.

At the back of it, Carol dwelled in numerous thoughts and prayed that she could reach Esme as soon as possible.

As the horse reached halfway through a empty jungle pathway, a loud snarl came out from his tongue loudly. Jumping backward, it missed his pace before falling down along with Carol.

Soon after shadows started appearing out from the dense of forest...
