Chapter 148 - He Deserves Better!
Comparing to the commotion was occuring in the moonshine castle, the environment inside Crimond Hill was far more harmonious. After the bunch of evil people were forced to leave the hill, the brightness inside hill had returned to normal combining with Ayra's joyful tongue.
Anna couldn't help but felt emotional each time she watched the due chatting happily. Ayra's happiness was beyond world which could be deciphered from her beamed expression.
After being inquired by a painful truth, Esme was a little taken back. She didn't know how to answer to a seven years old child that what does cursed child means. This worlds and their ruthlesslaws had described an innocent child as cursed.
Ron watched them from a distance and suddenly dreamed an absorb picture in his mind.
How happy it would be if this two belonged to his own family?
Honestly he had no objections regarding Ayra's existence. As long as Esme stayed by his side, he was ready to accept anything. But would Esme feel the same way that he felt?
He wandered and watched Esme's teared eyes that were fighting mercilessly to drip down.
Sniffing her nose slightly, Esme tugged on her clothes gently and replied with her own way,
" Nothing bad, baby. Cursed child means a fighter child like my brave daughter. Who can help her loved ones at an young age when they are in danger, a child who can protect her mother from an young age..a child who can fight with the world in order to ensure her existence..a brave, fighter, daring child.."
She paused before looking up at Ayra who was listening attentively,
" Just like my baby Ayra!!"
Esme finished her words and her unruly tears finally fell down over the bloodstained ground. Giggling like a little proudy, Ayra replied smiling widely,
" Then mommy said that Ayra is brave??"
Esme nodded wiping off her tears gently,
" Yes,my Ayra is the braveset one."
Ayra pouted denying instantly,
" Nope,mommy is the braveset. Mommy beat the bad Uncle terribly. "
Esme laughed lightly and lifted up in her arms. Walking away towards Ron, Esme thanked sincerely,
" Ron, you don't know how much I'm grateful to you. I owe you much more than my life. You have protected Ayra,Anna. I don't know how to repay you."
Ron smiled warmly and shook his head politely,
" Don't speak to me like an outsider, Serena. When the time comes, I will ask for my reward then from you. Just don't refuse me then."
Esme smiled back warmly without noticing the glimmer behind his gaze and promised sincerely,
" No worries, Ron. Whatever you want, I will never refuse you because I owe you too much."
Carol watched everything from a far away and didn't understand many things. However looking up at the almost down moonlight, she predicted that they had spent a longer time here. Perhaps Aaron had already started looking for them.
Taking slow steps towards them, Carol reminded after letting out a dry cough,
" My Lady, I think that we should head back for the castle now. Lord must be looking for you every where."
Ron's expression turned stiff as he couldn't help but clenched his fists together. Hearing out Carol's warning, Esme's expression darkened as she knew that how can Aaron act so violently.
Nodding vigorously, Esme gestured at Anna who was stood at the doorway. Anna quickly walked over to them and stopped beside Ron cautiously.
Esme kissed on Ayra's cheek gently and coaxed patiently,
" My brave daughter, mommy should return now. I will come back to you again soon. Okay? Meanwhile don't bother sister Anna too much and be obedient. "
Ayra pouted and was in verge on crying. Hugging her neck more tightly, she choked while pleading,
" No,mommy. You just came back to meet me. Why should you go? Ayra misses you so much. Please stay with me. I promise that I will not cause you any trouble."
Ayra's shrill cry broke Esme's heart including Carol who pitied the child.
How she wished that this girl was their lord's biological child? Perhaps the whole world would come here to take care of her honourably.
Esme held back her tears and patted on Ayra's back gently. She coaxed her warmly while speaking each words cautiously,
" Sweetheart, you should know that Mommy has a lot of works to do. Don't you want to see uncle Ethan on a throne, don't you?"
Ayra blinked before looking up at Esme blankly. She had always been curious regarding throne, kingdom in her mind. She read in tales that a powerful man could sit on the throne and would have many guards to take care of his daily naseccities. Thus her childish mind had always attracted to this kind of tales which she read from Anna's book collections.
After contemplating for a while,Ayra finally gave a slight nod as Esme smiled proudly. Indeed Ayra was very smart than her age and considered her each words deeply.
Patting on her pat, Esme tried to pursue her reasonably,
" Then we should wait until uncle Ethan complete his tasks to sit down on the throne. If we stay together, how will I help your uncle? You don't want to see uncle Ethan sad,do you?"
Ayra blinked few times before shook her head vigorously. Tugging on Esme's collar absentmindedly, Ayra compromised at the end,
" I am sorry, mommy. I must listen to you always. I will wait for your coming. Please don't take longer."
Esme smiled in relief and replied after pecking on her head lovingly,
" My daughter is the best. Mommy will come back soon. Meanwhile you must listen to sister Anna and uncle Ron always. "
Ayra nodded reluctantly before kissed her back lovingly. Giving her back to Anna's arms, Esme expressed her gratitude sincerely,
" I don't know how to thank two of you. All I can say that please wait for a few days more. I won't trouble both of you anymore once brother ascends on the throne. I have a belief that he would be able to pursue our clan. After all, Ayra is growing up and she needs a complete family."
Ron replied first feeling better inside,
" So you are finally leaving Aaron Richards?"
Esme went quite for a while before holding the heart wrenching pain tightly in her chest. Gulping down her saliva, she answered truthfully,
" Yes. He deserves better and I can't be an obstacle in his life. He owes a lot to his kingdom. I can't be the reason of his ruining. "
Ron asked again anxiously,
" Is he treating you bad? Is it, Esme? Tell me?"
His overreacted words made Carol's mind in discomfort. She wanted to say that their Lord never treated Esme bad but Esme shook her head faster denying.
Looking up at Ron's concerned face, Esme paused before confirming truly,
" No Ron, don't misunderstand him always. It is my choice to leave him. He will be alright once I am gone. You should take care of yourself more. You seem thin than earlier. Anyways I will be sealing the entire hill with my powers. No one can enter the villa except brother Ethan or my permitted person. You guys can stay in relax for the last few days."
Anna nodded and reminded her one last time,
" Don't worry about Ayra, princess. You must take care of yourself too. I will take care of Ayra well."
Esme smiled with gratitude and kissed Ayra one last time before walking to the centre of Crimond Hill. Gathering up all her powers, she first made a red lavatic light in her palms before sprouting them around the corner.
Soon after, a red barrier circled the entire hill like a chain and emitted a dark blue light spontaneously.
Swiping her gaze across the hill and making sure that no corner was left undone, Esme proceeded to leave the hill as soon as possible.
Watching Ayra,Anna and Ron entering into the half burnt villa, Esme's mind was in relief finally and inteneded to go back now.
Turning around, she attempted to take a step but her head suddenly turned heavy. Stumbling in her feet, she held her forehead groggily as Carol quickly spotted her abnormalities.
Rushing beside her side, Carol quickly held Esme's dizzy figure and asked anxiously,
" My Lady, are you alright? What happened with you? Should I call back them?"
Esme waved her hand dismissively and answered briefly,
" No,we can't wait here anymore. Your Lord will be furious. We should keep going. It might have caused because of unleashing extent powers."
Carol appeared worried for her health and asked casually,
" Perhaps or you might have felt puking after watching so much blood. After all, you fairies don't like smell of blood like us and prefer to stay clean."
Esme answered still feeling the head ache and stole a glimpse of Ester's blood from the ground. Narrowing her eyes, she responded while leaning against Carol's figure,
" I don't know the reason but today I didn't feel disgusted after watching so much blood. It rather excited me."
Carol was stunned before suddenly teasing Esme,
" Don't tell me that you are turning vampire,my Lady?"
Esme shot her a cold glare and scolded annoyingly,
" What nonsense!! I don't want to be such a bloodthirsty animal. Let's get going fast or else your vampire clan will be burnt as far as I know your Lord."
Carol giggled before making their way towards the moonshine castle.
