BXBX NOVEL Chapter 168 - Best Of All Witches
_SASHA PALACE_
The entire palace was in uproar as they all witnessed their princess being carried away by Zave unconsciously. They all had their own bizarre thoughts as the couple went to choose their engagement ring early in the morning but came back anxiously. The atmosphere had turned intense as they all had troubled expression.
Especially Siemus who had been observing her lady from a corner as she couldn't appear out in front of others because of Athena's safety.
As Zave laid her down on the bed, he didn't leave immediately and stayed by her head side. His expression was gloomy which made others heart very touched. Because they foolishly thought that Zave had a downcast expression due to Athena's sudden illness. But in reality, he was only being annoyed for being interrupted midway and didn't had any concern regarding Athena's health. As a pure blooded vampiress and Princess of Richards Clan, she wouldn't die so easily.
Soon after the appointed Royal healer entered the into the crowded room and urged the maids to step outside. Except her loyal one, the rest of them had to leave and waited patiently as the healer continued checking on Athena's condition.
After having a vivid inspection of her health, he frowned before pulling out a bottle of hot blood while speaking,
" She hasn't any major sickness,Mister Zave. It was only because she was sick and probably couldn't stand any shock. Thus it led her to fall unconscious state easily."
The healer talked while helping Athena to gulp down the hot warm human blood mixed with herbs. In response, Zave gave a gentle hum sound before looking down at her deeply asking,
" When will she wake up? Can you tell me?"
The healer dropped Athena's head down gently and answered frowning a bit suspeciously,
" She should have waken up till now. Usually vampires aren't so weak like humans. Whatever you pay attention on her condition. She should be waking up soon."
Zave hummed in response and didn't seem much concerned for her health. Straightening up his kneeled figure, he spoke leading the healer outside,
" Then we should give her some space to have a good rest. Let me see you off Mr.Morphy."
The healer nodded before shooting Zave a suspicious gaze.
Shouldn't he be over concerned for his fiance's condition? Why did he feel like Zave didn't feel much bothered?
Anyways he couldn't possibly speak out against the would be son-in-law of Royal Family and decided to keep quite. Following up Zave outside,he retreated from the room as the maid also left her side in order to give her a warm space for resting.
When the metallic door finally creaked leaving the lying figure alone, Athena finally opened up her hazel eyes. Still feeling those painful memories, she hauled up from the bed groggily supporting on her arms and inhaled deep breaths to stable the state of her uneasied mind.
Before her feet could land down on the floor, Siemus finally came out from her hiding spot and held her fragile figure cautiously. Speaking in an anxious voice, she stated her concerns,
" My Lady, what has happened with you? How could you fall unconscious so easily? Have you been facing any troubles ? Please don't hide anything from me and let me know the truth! "
Athena didn't answer any of her questions and silently clasped on her palm tightly. Her fingers were still shaking lightly as if a turbulent storm was going through her mind.
A bit shocked, Siemus sensed the uneasiness of her mind and soon after heard her hoarse voice lightly,
" S.. Siemus..Call out for..Ethan..now.. Please..Go and pick him up from his world. I need to know something urgent from him."
Siemus was stunned because it was the first time when Athena personally asked for bringing Ethan back here. Before she could inquire further, Athena emphasized her words tightly,
" Just go!! Now!!! "
Siemus jolted in surprise before scurrying away hurriedly.
Athena sucked another row of long breath and murmured painfully,
" I..I just hope that you haven't hidden something from me Ethan..at least not of my baby..."
MEANWHILE.....
Carol shook one last time violently before clasping the empty bottle in her grip and binded it with her waistline cautiously. Her eyes took a sharp glance around the castle before heading outside urgently.
Esme's words still lingered in her mind that she would get to know the origin of this medicine along side the reason behind it. Her paces were abnormal as fear started consuming her soul literally. If anyone gets to know that she has dared to investigate on Aaron's personal belongings, she will surely court death. But her loyalty towards Esme continue pushing her forward as she used an average horse for her riding.
Passing through the empty street at noon time, she was leading for the western pool speedily. She solemnly hoped that she could help Esme this time to obsecure the truth. After all, she didn't wish to see them fighting and hurting each others anymore.
After riding on her horse for an hour,she finally arrived at her discerned place located in a distant place away from the living zone. Carol stomped down from the horse and spotted the tiny hut a little further away. Covered in numerous masses,the hut seemed unlively but only she knew the mystery behind it. Taking a deep breath and switching her gaze around, she spotted no one and continued walking towards the hut.
As her timid footsteps finally reached in front of the wooden door, her hand subconsciously lifted up to give a light knock. But before she could touch the surface, the door was brusted open in a loud bang revealing a pitch darkened room.
Carol's frown turned deeper and harder when her eyes found no one on the opposite side. Exhaling a restless sigh, she stepped onto the cold floor and used a light nervous tongue,
" Valeria?? Valeria?"
A dense moment of silent quickly crept away as Carol started getting nervous.Although she was aware of her unscrupulous temper, she still feared as Valeria was none other than a witch.
As Carol started invading through the darkness without knowing her destination, a sudden clapping tongue hummered into the dark room pausing Carol's track abruptly. Carol's expression dropped before turning her head aside only to be inspected an young girl sitting at the top of almirah. The chandelier was lit up illuminating the entire space as soon as the clap buzzed in the room.
Dangling her legs in the air, Valeria raised her eyes up amusingly as her white teeth came out instantly. A part of her alluring face was covered with long disheveled hairs and her emerland eyes were too dark than usual.
Wearing a torned nightgown, she appeared like an insane woman wandering on the street. Carol sighed shaking her head as soon as she saw her on the top. Taking two step closer, Carol asked in a serious tone looking up at her sternly,
" I need a favor from you! "
Valeria paused swinging her legs for a while and suddenly gave a creepy smile saying,
" Of Course, you will need me little! I am the best witch of all witches."
_MARRIOT CASTLE_
The breeze was pleasantly cool today as gentle waves occasionally bounced against the edge of Marriott. The castle wasn't crowded like other ones and had a deep mysterious vibe on its own.
Standing in front of the quite castle, Jeremy hesitated to walk in but reminding Ester's command, he couldn't step back no matter how frightened he was. Carrying a bunch of White roeses, he proceeded inside and met the shocked Butler at the entrance.
The butler knew Jeremy from the past and could vaguely assume his purpose of coming here.
Greeting the butler politely, Jeremy spoke slowly,
" Good Afternoon! Can I meet the king for a few moments? I have a message to deliver him."
The butler greeted back and didn't seem much happier after finding him here. Leading him towards a certain way, the butler spoke while walking,
" Our majesty is having some leisure times here. I hope Mr.Jeremy won't take longer."
Jeremy reassured with a hum sound and followed his foot steps. Walking through a long corridor, the butler showed him a way as he saw the gigantic door.
Holding the flowers, Jeremy pushed open the door before turning astounded for a while. Even though it was a daytime, the entire courtroom was decorated with lighting candles all over and had no peepholes around for sunlight to enter in.
Over the dragon headed throne, a half drunken mam was sipping his wine from his glass and had a darkened expression. Looking up at Jeremy, his eyes turned more dimmed as he took a long swip from his glass.
Swallowing hard, Jeremy continued walking towards him and finally reached in front bowing his head a little.
Just when Jeremy wanted to present those flowers along with a flirtatious letter, something unexpected happen in front of his sight.
The air inside courtroom dropped drastically as the burning candles started liting off one by one. Startled to find such darkness falling down eventually, Jeremy turned around in shock to inspect the space deeply.
His breathing hitched as the burning candles all lit off in a moment and he spotted a pregnant woman standing on the doorway blankly.
Flabbergasted, Jeremy had an awestruck expression as he watched the woman's bump suspiciously.
At that moment, his gaze subconsciously fell upon the white roses that he was carrying on.
The white roses had all turned black and bloody presenting an evil charm from it..!!
What. What was going on?
Meanwhile the man over throne finally had a reaction as he inspected the standing woman fiercely.
