RECOMMEND SONG: Memories By Maroon 5 ~?
Esme was slightly stunned, turned her face around and shot Ron an unhappy glare. Ron shurgged off his shoulders and mumbled clutching her tiny hand,
" She insisted Serena, don't blame me."
This time, Athena fully turned her body around to look over the people who had been standing at the doorway. Her eyes flashed with numerous surprises when she discovered Ron at that spot. Not only Athena, Ron was equally stunned upon seeing Athena's figure standing behind them.
Her eyes descended down naturally until she met those round sparkling eyes that had little fierceness glistening in her eyes. Athena's heart clenched into a fist as if breathing had become a huge burden on her body. Her own eyes couldn't believe the fact that Ayra's eyes were exactly like Edward who used to had long eyelashes just like butterfly wings.
A suppressed gasp quietly left through her parted lips as she sutured looking up at Ethan astonishingly,
" This...this is..."
She muttured while pointing out at Ayra's figure and waited anxiously for Ethan's confirmation. Ethan smiled at her faintly, felt completely relieved and gave her a sign of nodding. The moment, Athena received his confirmation, her eyes brust into a painful laughter or joy. Her breathing hitched while she couldn't help but calling out lovingly,
" Baby..."
Esme heard her calling and looked up at Athena with tears in her eyes. She didn't feel hurt or jealous but a different feeling as if she had redeemed every debts to her dead brother finally. They had faced uncountable tragedies to save this tiny girl who didn't even know the existence of her own family.
Ayra only blinked confusingly upon watching Athena staggering on her way back excitedly. Confused, she shot Esme a questioning glare. Esme didn't speak anything as she felt that Ayra was too little to understand everything. She thought of explaining her later patiently.
Athena finally reached in front of her and crunched down on her knees to match their heights. Swallowing hard, she struggled to keep her tone firm and called out again emotionally,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt" Ba..ba..by.."
This time, Ayra narrowed her arched brows tightly and questioned uncomfortably,
" Who..who ..are you..."
Athena pursued her lips together to spit out the truth initially but thinking twice that Ayra didn't know anything about her real parents clearly, she chose to stay quite. Athena revealed a warm smile and pulled her out into a tight hug. Ayra could only stay numb and dumbfounded as the unfamiliar woman gave her two loving kisses.
Esme couldn't hold back her tears after watching their reunion. She wiped the corner of her eyes and turned around to face the astounded crowd who had no clue regarding what was going on. Even Queen Melinda felt blank headed after watching Athena and Ayra embracing each others.
Who are this people? What was happening here?
The elderly fairy was carrying a downcast expression after being called ugly and was ready to strangle the tiny girl who appeared to come from nowhere. He snorted coldly and used a high pitched tone to express his anger,
" What rubbish is this King Ethan! At first, your bitchy sister has dared to step on Dalastia and now, a nobody girl has dared to defame my name in front of everyone? Is this how you manage your courtroom? "
Esme's sharp voice came out first before he could take a pause,
" Watch your words, Mr. Do not forget that I may have got banned by all of you but I am still legally the princess of Dalastia. Furthermore I have regained my soul powers and all possesed magics."
The higher ups felt thunderbolts striking over their heads after hearing Esme who openly admitted that her powers were returned without their helping.
How could this be possible? How could her sealed powers be unlocked without their approach?
Queen Melinda felt her jaws dropping and watched the infuriated Esme blankly. No matter how many times had passed, she still held the charismatic aura of a dominant princess. Before everyone could register their words, Ethan added the fuel in fire while announcing loudly,
" Besides, the little girl whom you are thinking as nobody isn't anyone else. She is the first born heir of Chole Family, Ayra Chole, the daughter of our elder brother Edward and his wife.."
Ethan made a pause delibaretly and turned his face sideway to watch Athena who was cuddling Ayra happily. Though he felt a little discomfort in his heart but he had to reveal every single truth for the sake of their happiness. With a soft sigh, he turned back again to face the crowd and added proudly,
" His wife, Athena Richards, the Princess of Vampire Clan. I hope, you will stop calling her nobody now."
Bang!
Queen Melinda stumbled back in shock and astonishment. Her back bounced against a vase hardly and made it dropping over the hard floor. Her own eyes dialeted in astonishment so widely as if her eyeballs would pop out from their spots anytime.
The higher ups were no less shocked than Queen Melinda. They had all stood up from their respected seats and had a terrifying expression hanging on their faces. Mr.Graham was the first to react crazily. His chest heavied ups and downs in rage as his furious voice bounced against the high walls clearly,
" This...this is a crime and illegal..She is a Cursed Child..O my goodness..King Ethan, have you lost your sanity? How can you let in such a dangerous creature in our world?"
He had already started to head towards Ayra's direction and sneered loudly,
" I am gonna throw it out from our world right away. She will only bring disasters over our tribe."
Before he could take anymore steps, Esme stood blocking his way and growled enragingly,
" Don't you dare to go nearer her a bit. I promise to chop every single person who dares to approach her. Don't challenge me."
Mr.Graham instinctively stepped back and felt less confidence on himself. They all had well awared of Esme's powers which was no less than a high fairy. If she didn't get banned on that time, she would have achieved more inveitable powers so far.
Katherine and her mother who watched the show like others silently had their eyes locked on Ayra who seemed beautiful more than a blooming rose. Katherine who thought that her child would become the first heir groaned unhappily beside her mother's ears,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm" Mother.. how can it be? My child is supposed to become the first heir who will have hands over each assets of Dalastia. How come this child appeare out from nowhere? "
Katherine's Mother hussed her daughter warningly. She wasn't even carrying Ethan's child. How could she become so bold to think of everything so far?
Ethan finally broke the silence using his commanding tone. His dark eyes swiped over the crowd silently as if he warned them to stay quite. His ringing voice echoed in the air,
" I have something to show you off. Please be patience and respect our privacies."
After that, Ethan gestured at Evan to bring those letters that he obtained from LG'S den. The letters could further prove that Ester had maintained a continuous communication with the Queen Mother of vampires during those years. He had passed each details of Edward's movement before that night when he was killed mysteriously.
Athena wrapped her arms around Ayra's shoulder protectively and looked up at the higher Fairies fiercely. Her expression confined so terrifying aura as if she would destroy anyone who would come over to touch her baby.
Ayra felt uncomfortable at her tight embrace and called out Esme lowly,
" Mommy.."
Esme turned around and saw her stretched arms. As she wasn't familiar with Athena, she declined to stay in her arms. Esme hesitated but later saw Athena passing Ayra to her gladly.
She wasn't so selfish to separate Ayra from her mother who had been taking care of her during this years!
Athena passed Ayra to Esme and glanced up at the crowd coldly. They all were furious and were shooting Ayra disdainful glares.
Evan quickly returned from indoor holding a box of letters and distributed them among the higher ups. As they all started looking through those writings and dates, Ethan resumed his conversation without hesitation,
" Back then, elder brother had fallen in love with Princess Athena and married her soon after.Since it was a crime to marry a black magical powered woman, he decided to keep their relationship secret until his coronation ceremony happens. Unfortunately Athena got pregnant with Ayra before his coronation unexpectedly. To secure their safety, he decided to hide them in a secret place but Ester later discovered their relationship upon investigating on brother Edward for a long time. Ester wanted to rule over Dalastia which constantly pushed him to crime after crimes without thinking the fact that he was destroying his own family. Ester then made contact with Queen Mother and bargained my bother's life like a cheap thing. Naturally they reached over this conclusion that Queen Mother will kill brother Edward and Ester will hide Athena's name as his wife from the whole world. To save both of their sides, Queen Mother killed my brother on that night of Ayra's birth and brought back Athena in her world forcefully. But god has his own plans of saving this little child. Brother Edward pleaded Esme to use her magical powers to create a fake child with no soul and handed Ayra on Esme's care."
Mr.Graham interrupted clutching an old letter speechlessly,
" Then... what about that child which we threw into the Dark Cave from Princess Esme back then when she got banned by us?"
