Loved By a Vampire King

The guards had stayed in a bowing silhouette as their king walked through the corridor tapping and hitting the floor thumping loudly. The maids shifted at a corner when they saw Aaron arriving at the doorway of Vanessa's room before entering asap.

Over the bed, the girl was sat up straightforwardly hugging her knees and appeared extremely dull in expression. Without bothering to ask her, Aaron asked Jasper who stood close beside him,

" What happened with her?"

Jasper responded in a deep mysterious voice,

" She can't see anything!"

" What?", Aaron was astounded averting his eyes on Vanessa surprisingly and knitted his sharpened eyebrows. He continued in a cold tone,

" How did it happen? Did she perform any forbidden magic or someone did this to her?"

Jasper answered him more suspiciously that aroused numerous thoughts,

" She can't remember her memory from last night. She only kept saying that she had been sleeping in her room and woke up with blind vision. "

Aaron frowned hard and replied back assuringly,

 " Impossible! A Vampire can't go blind without any particular reason. Did you inquire her maids? It's so shameful to know that my members aren't safe inside my castle. "

Jasper sighed knowing that his lord hated to be threatened by anyone but he already checked through everything before he could ask out. Honestly Jasper felt too suspicious because only extremes powerful creatures had the superpowers of making a vampire blind.

Who could be so powerful to do that?

Aaron parted his lips to speak up but suddenly felt quite as he recalled another possibility all of sudden. His expression changed drastically as he asserted in a cold voice,

" Take care of her well. Call any healer to check her body everyday. I need to join the court now. Moreover prepare everything for Athena's marriage and other pre-rituals. Make sure that nothing can be mistaken."

Jasper hummed coldly as a flash of sadness could be visible in his eyes that quickly hidden away before Aaron could spot. After placing his orders, Aaron made his way downstairs to enter the court as his mind surfaced with that firm possibility.

INSIDE ESME'S ROOM,

After receiving Aaron's approval, Esme quickly sent a maid to bring back Carol from the shell. Thus Carol was released too fast than she expected as the prison guards had no obligation over the direct command of King.

Under the warm sunlight flickering on the corridor, Esme sat down leaning against the rocking chair while Carol massaged her long hairs with oil. Esme felt too relaxed under her gentle care and squeezed her eyes shut gently.

Carol giggled beside her ears as she spotted the obvious marks on Esme's exposed neck,

" Looks like you need massage on your shoulder too, my lady."

Esme frowned before getting her obvious hint and turned crimson eventually as her mind reflected those intimate moments between them early in the morning. Esme pouted and replied back teasingly,

" Wait till you get married. I will see how you mock at me then."

Carol huffed before replying through caressing her moisturising hairs,

" I can bet that my husband wouldn't be so gullible like Lord. After all I'm not so beautiful like you, lady."

As Esme parted her lips to rebuke, the door of her bedroom flanged open with a thud without bothering to knock before. Esme frowned before looking back and spotted Queen Mother's cold silhouette surprisingly.

Tidying her clothes, Esme got up before walking over to her slowly. Giving her a slight bow, she addressed her respectively,

" Mother, please be seated."

Queen Mother lifted up her hand gesturing her to stop and huffed proudly,

 " I haven't come to chitchat with you here. I wanted to remind you that we have different rituals before marriage in our clan. You will have to reach Sasha Palace tonight with some staffs. The responsibility falls upon you as Athena's sister-in-law. I hope you won't disappoint me. "

Esme nodded comprehensively and replied keeping her head down,

" I got it. I will try my best to fulfil every responsibilities, Mother. "

" Don't call me, mother. ", Queen Mother alerted keeping her tone low yet disgusted. Esme looked up at her face blankly and spotted the obvious disdain on her expression. Later heard her continuing,

" I haven't accepted you wholeheartedly. You don't have to call me, mother. Just call me Queen Mother just like others."

Esme bite down her lips tightly before providing her a slight nod as she watched her storming way not before placing a surprised glance over Carol.

As she left the room, Carol approached beside Esme and comforted spotting the displeasure on her eyes,

" Don't feel disappointed, my lady. Queen Mother has always been heartless and never cared for anyone genuinely. Even something happened between Princess Athena and her.Their relationship was drifted apart for years."

Esme formed looking up at her curiously and inquired,

" What happened between them? "

Carol sighed and replied with unsurity,

" I'm not sure, my lady. I heard that her mother killed someone close to Princess. As for what's the exact reason, I have no idea and only heard rumours."

Esme nodded blankly and felt sad for Athena who couldn't even get the warmth of her mother even after staying by her side always.

Esme wondered if her mother ever missed her in this years? After all, she proudly declared that she doesn't have any daughter from now on.

Soon after, a cold breezed evening fell down on the silver city of Vampire world. The moonshine castle appeared noisy from outside as the maids were all busy in preparing staffs for the blessed ritual tonight. While preparing the alluring products for the would be couple, they giggled and shared many dirty thoughts among each others on the downhall.

Besides, Esme was preparing for her way of Sasha Palace inside the room as her Lord husband made his appearance all of sudden. The maids bowed before retreating from there giving them personal space considerably.

Esme stood in front of the mirror straightening her sleeves of pink gown that had glistened lightly under the lamblight. Aaron smiled faintly watching her seductive back and spitted out lowly,

" You look beautiful."

Esme smiled contentedly and turned around to face her as she spotted his downcast face. Frowning slightly, she inquired stepping closer,

" What happened? You.. You look different.."

Aaron stared back at her face deeply before asking an unexpected question,

" Did you have anything to do with Vanessa's blind vision?"

Esme's face sank immediately before felling in silence deeply. Gulping down, she replied noticing his dissatisfied face,

" What.. what are you talking about! How could I turn her blind? I'm not vampire after all. "

Aaron closed his eyes gently knowing that she was stating him lie whereas he knew the truth already.

But could he blame her for lying to him? After all he was the one who should be blamed the most. He was doing this to her from the first day and continued doing it till now.

Who should be blamed? Eventually no one! Because they are right from their own perspective!

Sighing softly, he pulled her closer by her waist and replied,

" Esme no matter what you want to do, don't hide it from me ever. Because it will hurt more when someone others will inform me not you. I'm willing to fulfil your each request but don't make me feel that I'm less important in your heart."

Esme frowned hard and started having a bad feeling that Aaron probably had discovered something. She knew that her time of telling him the truth had come closer but still she feared that Aaron will abandon her just like family.

Will he trust her? The truth was still unsure in her heart as she swallowed down her saliva nervously.

Placing her palms on his shoulders gently, she spoke in a sincere voice, 

" You are always important to my heart, Aaron. But there will be circumstances in our lives where we will have to make our decisions alone. It's our undeniable truth. I can only tell you that as long as I feel safe around you, I will never betray your love. But you must stay truthful to me because I can't accept betrayal. "

Aaron's face darkened in a moment as his heart tightened in a fist. Blinking abruptly, he whispered remorsefully, 

" What.. what if I betrayed you earlier and later changed my mind? Will you forgive me then? What if I will make it up for my whole life? Will you, say? "

Esme's face clouded instantly as she tightened the grip on his shoulders. Letting out a emotional laughter, she answered in a deep voice, 

" It will depend on what you have done because some mistakes are unforgivable. "

DALASTIA WORLD,

After finishing their training session, Ethan made his way out of the Redruth Valley and flew further away from there. Landing down near the barrier of Vampire world, he contemplated in his thoughts for a moment but couldn't pacify his thumping heart.

Swallowing down his saliva, he looked up at the sky sternly and called out,

" Siemus, appear in front of me now."
