Immediately the air inside Salavita Mountain had turned gloomy, stiff as if a sleeping volcano was ready to explode out anytime. Comparing to Ester's tantrum words, Oscar seemed relaxed as if his words were unheard to him. Ethan who had no clues about their conversation shot Ester a suspicious look who kept smirking at Oscar's face provokingly. One could tell from Ester's smile that he had been acting very mysterious and provocative towards king Oscar.

But poor Ester had forgotten to calculate that Oscar was one of the wise and powerful king who ever existed in the clan of Dragons. He couldn't be simply threatened or suppressed by a mere prince like him. Behind Oscar, his two personal soldiers Arcabous,Debisa couldn't tolerate this indirect insult thus they snarled at Ester warningly. 

Ester didn't stay back instead regained his confident posture telling that he had big secret of King Oscar in his sleeves.

Why was he getting afraid of him?

Oscar smiled faintly, his eyes glimmered under the occasional thundersrokes coming down from the sky. After glancing between Ester and Ethan, he spitted out mysteriously while waving at his dragons to stay calm,

" That's fine, Prince Ester. Look at my Dragons. They also bark naturally once they feel evil presence nearby them."

He finished his words with a sly smirk before turning around and proceeded towards his dragons. Behind him, Ester's face had turned ashen as soon as he mentioned about evil presence.

Was he referring to him? What about Ethan? He was also a prince like him.

Ester felt insulted as his eyes kept glaring at Oscar's standing back. One point, he had vowed to himself that he would definitely teach this dragon king a lesson after winning this fight. Besides him, Ethan kept observing at Ester's face and found the interaction between them quite weird. He only hoped that Oscar wouldn't fall in Ester's trap.

Moments later, Oscar patted on his dragons head affectionately and passed his command without uttering a word. As soon as he took off his hands from them, the dragons flew up in the sky under the scream of thunderbolts and kept flattering their large wings continuously.

Ester and Ethan both looked up in the sky and was confused about his tasks inwardly. Then they heard his husky voice while stepping onto the big stone at the middle,

" Both of you go after my dragons and bring them back after taming them."

Ethan was slightly shocked while Ester looked furious. They all knew that dragons only listened to king Oscar and didn't cause any harm to him only. Apart from Oscar, they were ferocious over everyone who tried to approach them.

Ester couldn't hold back his anger and furiously spilled out,

" What kind of task is this? How can we fairy tame your Dragon? They are ferocious as hell. This is injustice."

Oscar's expression immediately turned stiff as he rebuked back with authority,

" It seems like Prince Ester lacks logic in war tricks. When you join a fight, you must listen to those commands what's the other opponent says. As a mentor and commander in this fight, it is definitely upon me to choose the task and determine the final winner. If you still think that I am being injustice here, give up the fight and go back to your world. In that way, I can announce Ethan as their king without any troubles."

Ester trembled in rage and blurted out,

" You...."

Ethan interrupted while giving him a short bow,

" I have no objections on that, your majesty. But it would have been better if you give us a little direction as we are unfamiliar with your pets from the beginning."

Oscar smiled mysteriously and was satisfied over Ethan's courteous manner. After tiptoeing two steps back, he faced the dark ocean and spoke in a deep voice,

" You have to make them in love with your true self. If you use force, they won't let you go. But it you use love, they will give you ten folds back."

Ester felt another headache coming on their way whilst Ethan remained silent for a long time. After hearing out his little words, Ethan nodded with understanding and went to chase the dragon in the sky,

" Got it."

_MOONSHINE CASTLE_

Upstairs inside Athena's room, Siemus was grumbling at her lady for the first time was busy in changing her expensive attire. She paced back and forth at the centre of Athena's room and grumbled annoymously,

" This can't be done, my lady. Why did you call off this engagement? Because of that brat who doesn't know how to value you? He keeps bringing the past and continuously makes you feel shattered, lady. I understand that you don't want to marry Zave but that doesn't mean that you will stop this engagement for the sake of prince Ethan's safety. He has gone for the final fight with his half brother and perhaps he would come back as a winner. Then his prideful mother will let him marry into a big influencial family in their world naturally. What will you get in everything? Tell me, lady?"

Athena's hand halted midway before her whole body turned little stiff after hearing out the initial possibilities from Siemus. After swallowing down her bitter saliva, she whispered hauling up from the tool in front of her dresser,

" I just don't want to owe them anything. I need to send back Esme in a safe place, Siemus. Her life would be in danger if she stays long in this castle. Better, she leaves before his brother comes to rescue her personally."

Siemus finally came to her rational thoughts and nodded with Athena agreeing,

" Yes, you are right. Lady Esme is innocent. We should help her fast or else I am afraid that old lord would do anything to harm her seriously."

Athena hummed before headed outside along with Siemus for Esme's shell hurriedly.

Meanwhile, Esme's face had turned pale after looking at those hungry monster who had no sympathy for her poor state in this prison. Unable to stop them from approaching her, Esme inquired with authority,

" Just tell me what did you mean by compensation? Why do you guys need my blood? You can't make the queen of Vampires your mate. At least, I won't allow it."

The old lord laughed at her confident demeanor and clapped his hands together in amusement. After clapping for a long time, he spoke between his laughter whilst approaching her dangerously,

" You sure have guts little girl. We don't want to taste your dirty blood. In other way, it is your honour to save our Lord with your bitch blood. Huh! "

Esme's breathing hitched as she stumbled back abruptly. Unable to assert the exact meaning of his words, she sutured with her heart racing,

" Saving the lord? What.. what does it mean?"

The old lord smirked and was delighted immediately after looking at her broken eyes deeply. Letting out a loud chuckle, he spitted out sarcastically,

" Opss! This little bitch didn't know that she had been toyed by Aaron so far."

At that moment, Esme's eyes turned blurry and her steps started stumbling backwards slowly.. Her ears were ringing and their laughter were piercing through her heart ruthlessly..
