After that day, everything had changed between the couples. Esme followed Aaron towards Moonshine and had finally accepted the fate of them. Perhaps she could give him another chance to love her again in this life. It wasn't a crime to love someone who had wronged you once. It's you who have to figure out that whether the person deserves second chance or not.

Soon months passed away in a blink of eye. Queen Mother was dragged away from Moonshine as per Esme's decision and never showed up on the doorway. Aaron let her go away from their lives and didn't want Esme to get worried about that woman. Vanessa was sentenced to death for using forbidden herbs on their king after Esme's return. But the questions among average citizens remained still hot and burning sometimes. Aaron had erased the whole councilmen from his world and taken over all the responsibilities alone. He didn't want anyone to control his decisions and made a vow to the citizens that he would do better alone than those unfilial bunch of men. Even he changed their ancient laws eventually which said that a white creature couldn't get married with a black creature and their child would become disaster. Using Ayra's power to destroy Enchantress, the world got an example to find out that a cursed child could be more handful than any other creatures.

It was another day when someone arised the question inside the court again.

" My Lord, shouldn't you think that you have crossed all the boundaries for the sake of a mere woman?", One of the minister accused boldly in front of whole courtroom. Aaron was seated on the throne and looked down at him coldly. His brows narrowed in further confusions when the minister didn't falter after receiving his cold glare. Bringing the topic in front of whole courtroom could only bring more disasters over them especially when average citizens were present there.

Aaron was ready to speak but Esme's voice came from the backdoor,

" Let me enter, Viviana."

Looking behind, everyone saw Esme entering with her big belly slowly. She was supporting her big belly with her palm cautiously and was climbing up on the stage towards Aaron. Aaron quickly went after to help her getting up and growled unhappily,

" Love, why did you come here? It's already very uncomfortable for you to move around."

Esme growled back with her sharp eyes inspecting the audience around who had their heads bowing lowly,

" If I didn't come, would they let you go? How dare they accuse you in front of so many people? I am not any mere woman."

Aaron frowned unhappily and shot a cold glare at Viviana outside. He didn't want to see her messing with this brainless people. Esme stood at the middle, inhaled a deep breath and spoke towards the crowd with her loud voice,

" Sorry for this interruption. I assume that it was necessary for me to show up in front all of you and clear the accusations of my husband. Before calling me a mere woman, I would like to remind you that this mere woman had helped you killing your sworn enemy Enchantress and my subordinates had also helped you vampires to defeat that evil witch. If you were so capable enough to destroy her, why did you need my help?"

In a moment, everyone's face turned dark including the rude minister and suddenly they were out of words. It was a undeniable truth that without the help of fairies, it was impossible to defeat Enchantress. Esme was pleased with their silence and continued blurting confidently,

" Regarding this children, don't forget that a hybrid,my adopted daughter has personally killed Enchantress risking her own life. Then what makes you think that my children would become useless for your kingdom? Do not forget that they have the bloodline of Richards family. Who are you to raise voice against them? Except sucking blood, what magnificent you have all done in this years? Care to inform me please?"

Everyone panicked nervously and couldn't find a word to rebuke anymore. Each one of her words were true like broad daylight. Aaron smiled at her proudly from aside and continued rubbing her back slowly to ease her arising fury.

Upon hearing their silence, she sucked a deep breath and glared at the minister harshly. She pointed her finger at him furiously and spoke with authority leaping out from her tone,

" And you...If you haven't anything useful to say in the court, don't come back here anymore."

The minister only murmured apologizotically,

" My Lady..I am..sorry..It was just some citizens who weren't happy.."

Esme didn't spent her breathing on that man anymore. She simply turned around to scan the average citizens and challenged openly,

" If anyone have any doubts regarding my abilities if becoming the queen of Vampires, you are always welcome to fight against me and see whether I am capable enough or not."

The average citizens didn't dare to look up and subconsciously retreated back.

Who will dare to fight against her after knowing that she won a fight against Enchantress?

The court was dismissed afterwards and no one dared to throw any accusations on Aaron. Inside the room, Esme had been lying down after Aaron's strict order and watched the man peeling apple for her carefully. He liked to take care of her personally.

He asked with a proud smile,

" Comfortable after venting out your anger?"

Esme rolled her eyes back and leant her head behind leisurely. She sneered coldly before opening her mouth to chew the apple,

" No..I wished to tear that pretty handsome of your minister."

A certain someone who got jealous after hearing the word ' handsome' corrected with a cold voice,

" Who is handsome? His face looks like a rotten tomato."

Esme was speechless. Fine, she wouldn't say anything from now on. Why this man got jealous on every little thing?

She changed the topic and asked chewing the apple,

" So, the wedding is finally happening tomorrow?"

Aaron hummed in response and feeded her another piece of apple. His eyes rested on her stomach as he answered softly,

" Yes, Athena has finally agreed."

Well, his sister was having terrible mood swings after her pregnancy. She changed the date of their wedding frequently and caused this late without any specific reason. 

Esme chuckled lightly and watched his cautious movements while feeding her. A sweet smile came on her lips as she leant beside his ears and whispered seductively,

" Aaron.. have I ever told you that I love you so much?"

Aaron was stunned before looking up at her blankly. His face blushed slightly as he whispered back with a flirtatious smile,

" No,just keep telling me on bed so that I can perform harder."

Esme laughed out loud and smacked on his shoulder playfully,

" Pervert! Hmmm..!! "

Before she could tease him anymore, she was being kissed by him domineerinly. No matter how many times had passed, he was still dominant with his behavior and she was blessed to be loved by this Vampire King.
