Queen Melinda was stunned after hearing out Ethan's compromising words. After all, it was unbelievable to belive that Ethan could be so obedient after many ears. Because scars had turned too deep to heal after all that happened between them.

Queen Melinda smiled widely and clasped Ethan's palm in excitement. She sutured over excitedly,

" You are willing to listen me, Ethan? O my dear! I can't believe that my son has finally come back to me. Remember Ethan, I won't do anything for your harm. All I wish to see you growing more and more powerful. Katherine is the most worthy one to be your Queen, my son. She deserves to be our queen. "

Evan couldn't help but rolled out his eyes annoyingly.

Yes, Katherine was so naive that she did know how to take advantage of a drunk man! What a shameless act!

Ethan sighed deeply without uttering any words and lifted up the spoon tenderly. He urged diverting the topic,

" Mother, please have your medicine fast. Don't get over excited. You are still so weak."

Queen Melinda nodded vigorously before opening her lips obediently. Drinking the medicine fast, she ordered Evan who was speechless over his mother's excitement,

" Evan, go and call all the higher ups. I need to inform them this good news. After all, they wil get the king and queen both together. They must be very happy after hearing it out."

Evan frowned slightly before reminding cautiously,

" Mother what if Ester turns out more worthy? What are you going to do then? Will you marry up Katherine to Ester then? "

Queen Melinda was startled before contemplating in her thoughts deeply. Indeed how could she forget that there were two heirs who were worthy for the throne?

Shifting her eyes away, she replied back awkward then,

" Then I will inform them later. Let the coronation ceremony pass away peacefully."

Evan shook his head helplessly while Ethan pondered in his thoughts. Looking up at his mother, Ethan stated putting down the bowl,

" Mother, I will call out the maids to prepare healthy soup for you. You need to nourish your health carefully. "

After finishing his words, he hauled up from the bed before heading outside absentmindedly. As he crossed the door and turned left to reach downstairs, his back was stopped abruptly feeling a hard grip.

Turning back in astonishment, he saw Katherine's beaming face as if she was overjoyed. Frowning hard as he thought of pushing her away, Katherine stated smirking seductively,

" I have overhearded your words, brother Ethan. You made me the happiest girl in the earth."

Ethan ignored her words and intended to get away as he struggled to break free from her grip. A flash of pain appeared on her face as she stated stubbornly,

" Don't worry, Brother Ethan. I will make you forget that woman you love eventually. We will be living together forever after all."

Ethan sneered coldly before giving her a shocked reply,

" You will never be her nor did you have the abilities to be like her. "

He threw his harsh command before turning down and hurried downstairs.

He wasn't in mood of getting annoyed more! His mother was already dancing over his head. Moreover his girl's engagement was coming soon. How could he manage all sides? Lucky Evan was there for him to take care of Queen Melinda.

MOONSHINE CASTLE, VAMPIRE WORLD

Soon after, a day was passed by in a blink of eye as the air inside castle was stiff. In no time, the maids and staffs were all aware of the thought that their king and Queen were having cold war again. Aaron didn't visit the living room once in an entire day and rather kept busy in tasks.

Night fell down quickly but he didn't show up in front of Esme at all. On the other side, Esme wasn't too much concerned about his disappearance as she was well known about his unscrupulous attitude.

Sighing deeply, she continued writing the letters one by the one under the yellow light of lamp. Carol stayed by her side standing quietly as her gaze occasionally glanced over the door in alarm.

Esme spoke without looking up her face from her writing,

" He won't come, don't get nervous."

Carol was surprised a bit before smiling lightly and said,

" You know him too well, my lady."

Esme smiled faintly and replied while folding the letter that was just finished off,

" I am well known about his bipolar mood, Carol. He won't appear in front of me until he calms down."

Carol asked back curiously,

" Why is that? Doesn't he want to vent out his anger on you?"

Esme answered handing her the letters,

" Already did but he fears that he would hurt me more once his anger goes out of control. "

Carol was shocked and didn't expect this answer. Shaking her head helplessly, she stated truthfully,

" He really cares about you too deeply."

Esme remained silent for a while looking down at the floor as his pained words buzzed across her mind.

You are forcing me to hate you!

We can adopt a child!

I won't accept any woman as my wife except you!

You and me till death!

Carol called out loudly snatching her back into reality,

" My Lady!!!!!"

Esme jolted before looking up at Carol timidly. Gulping down, she instructed cautiously,

" You must give this letters to Ron only and tell him to guard Ayra more strictly. I don't know why this days I'm having bad feelings for her. Also remind him to give the letter that has written for Ayra. My baby must be missing me too much. Now head back for the hill fast, Carol. You will have to come back fast. "

Carol memorised everything quickly and didn't delay further. Borrowing a long coat with hoodie, she instantly headed for the Crimond Hill after pulling in her coat tightly.

As a maid and Vanessa's loyal servant, she was allowed to visit outside freely and the guards felt nothing suspicious regarding her departure. Only after leaving the castle's gate far away, Carol breathed a sigh of relief before continuing her walk through the empty road.

The path was a little foggy along with a chilling weather as she took hurried steps without looking around.

Unfortunately she didn't notice that another pair of long legs quickly trailed her off all the way secretly....

Back inside Esme's bedroom, after Carol took her leave, Esme started preparing for sleeping symmetrically. Soon after, a maid entered the room holding a cup of hot milk for her and bowed her head down respectively.

Watching that Esme was preparing for sleep and didn't ask about Aaron, the maid was feeling hesitated to speak. Giving her the cup, the maid cleared her throat before reporting nervously,

" My Lady, I.. I think that you should pay a visit to the Royal Villa."

Esme frowned asking back curiously,

" Why should I? Is anything happening over there?"

The maid bite down her lips tightly before suturing fearfully,

" Lord.. Lord has summoned his humans pet to entertain him tonight.. He.. he must be very furious and can kill them mercilessly.."

Esme's expression sank as she felt complicated emotions running through her mind.

Was he doing everything for her? Why did he need to torture those innocent souls!

She contemplated in her thoughts as the maid observed her expression deeply. Holding the cup tightly in rage, Esme responded coldly,

" Take me over there! I must see what entertainment he was having over there."

RIVERGREEN VALLEY,

Over there, Ethan was standing in front a certain place holding a pile of white flowers that had no fragrance. His gaze laid over the ground as his mind replayed the visions that he seemed through Athena's past.

His brother had been burnt here brutally! He didn't had any tomb too!

What did he do to deserve this misfortune?

Ethan sighed as he fighted with the unruly tears that were struggling to fall down. Kneeling down with one knee, he put down the flowers over the ground and patted on the spot affectionately.

Choking on his words, he whispered pitifully,

" I'm sorry... I'm sorry for betraying you, brother. I never wanted to fall in love with her but I couldn't help. She is such a special to be loved that I couldn't hold back myself anymore. I.. I know that you loved her too much more than your own life. You couldn't give her the happiness that she deserved. But I want to make her the happiest woman in the world. Please allow me to take care of her. I know that I may sound selfish but I can't leave her to any other man. I.. I know that you can't listen to me but you can hear me, brother. I believe in you. You must forgive me for this mistake. "

Ethan choked squeezing his eyes shut as his tears continously fell down over the floor slowly..His words couldn't be spoken but tears did..

Sometimes crying is the best way to express your words....
