BXBX NOVEL Chapter 184 - Siding With My Heart!
RECOMMENDED SONG: Searching For The Truth By ISAMAR ~?
The low evil tongue buzzed across the wind of empty courtyard following by two pair of astounded gazes who didn't expect this unexpected guests here.
Athena was so stunned and speechless that her feet was glued in the spot like never moving for eternity. She swallowed a mouthful saliva as a fear quickly started crawling up inside her mind.
Her pace stumbled back before managing herself barely from falling down in shock or astonishment and stood frozen still.
Zave was standing just opposite of them carrying a smug smile as if he had discovered a new fantasy to play. A bunch of black uniformed hungry Vampires trailed him off closely whose fangs were already hanging outside to take a sip throatily.
Comparing to Athena's reaction, Ethan was less unfazed whose eyes blankly watched the man smiling at them smugly. Perhaps he was too focused on his inner painful feelings that couldn't let him remind too easily the identity of this evil faced man. At the very first, he initially thought that it was one of those LG members who discovered them accidentally in their den.
But Athena's startled tongue made everything clear,
" Za.. Zave.. What.. what are you doing here? Did you follow me?"
Athena stammered as her paces started backing up in order to shield Ethan whose expression had turned ashen. He was already going through mental breakdown and Zave's arrival whom Athena supposed to get married soon added the fuel in fire.
Ethan's gaze deepened before turning murderous that made Zave wondering to think about the situation that what especial relationship this two had. Before his anger could erupt out and turn into a terrible fight, Zave suddenly chuckled lightly, amusement flared across his face as he eyed Athena's protective nature suspiciously.
Suddenly Zave inhaled a deep breath loudly and suddenly shot open his semi red eyes glaring behind Athena's back harshly,
" I was merely keeping an eye over my sick fiance. Who would have thought that she has allowed a fairy to step in our world and has come all the way to play a sneaky game here?"
Athena's expression stiffened before staggering another step backward nearly getting closer with Ethan. She could imagine the consequences of Ethan if Zave managed to arrest Ethan that day. Although Zave wasn't a pure blooded vampire, he had cultivated many powers during the past few years. He could identify just by smelling that Ethan was a trespasser in this world. His powers couldn't be taken lessly after a pure blooded Vampire.
Athena darkened her gaze further as she could sense that Zave had come all the way to arrest Ethan immediately. Her eyes desperately looked back of them in a hope of finding Siemus who was guarding over the doorway.
But at the end, she found no one and let out an encouraging sigh!
Athena growled shooting Zave a challenging glare,
" Let go of him. I can go back with you now. He won't come back ever."
Ethan protested immediately grinding his teeth together as jealousy coursed through his mind wildly,
" Don't beg to him, Athena! I am not so weak."
Athena only shot him a cold glare and silently warned him telling that was he lost his mind or not. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't use all of his powerful spells in Vampire world. Morever Siemus was still nowhere to be seen.
How could she send him back to Dalastia?
Zave was quite for a moment before dimming the light of his eyes dangerously. Forming into a sly smirk, his gaze shifted between Ethan and Athena who both were desperate to protect each others and spoke sarcastically,
" Opps!! Am I having a romantic rival here, Princess?"
Ethan's face clouded in anger as he nearly flew away to punch his evil smirking face. But Athena completely shielded him off and glared at Zave challenging. Letting a deep restless breathing, she ordered loudly, her voice held the authority of a royal member,
" None of your business, Zave! Let go of him now. I am commanding you as the princess of Vampires."
Instead of retreating back, Zave's face clouded further as his fists clenched aside after finding out his fiance humiliating him in front of everyone because of an outsider. His anger enrised so much that the veins on his forehead started appearing out slowly.
Sneering coldly, he shot both of them a disdainful glare and spoke with mockery,
" Apologize princess but I hate my things being messed up by other people."
He paused deliberately and dropped his gaze on Athena who was breathing rapidly in anger,
" Regardless your arrival here, we will talk about it in the moonshine,dear."
Zave buttered before giving her a cunning smile that contained the hidden threat behind it. His eyes met Ethan who was boiling in rage and was ready to get in fight anytime. His burning eyes said everything without words.
But Zave had no mood of dwelling in flights right now as he didn't know the real identity of Ethan who was completely unknown to him.
After being insulted by his soon to be wife, Zave was tempted to prove his manly values that he had powers over everything. His gaze periodically scanned Ethan who was standing behind Athena and spitted out two words briefly gesturing to his own trained guards behind,
" Catch him now!"
Athena's mouth went open in awe slightly as she still couldn't see a glimpse of Siemus outside. Her teeth clenched together before her palms turned into a fist radiating blue flames constantly.
The color of her eyeballs changed dramatically as she talked mysteriously steeping ahead towards the charged guards,
" Then I am afraid that you guys have to touch him after passing through me."
The guards paused between their tracks awkwardly as they all saw the devilish side of princess Athena who once guided the troops in wars. Even Zave was startled after watching her revolution and felt more angered thinking that she was doing everything for the sake of that dumb fairy behind.
Ethan kept staring at her back blankly as his heart wrenched in pain thinking that she was still giving him the same priority.
Zave growled loudly, his voice bounced against the high walls of villa,
" You are siding with an outsider than your own fiance? Where has your etiquette gone, Athena?"
Athena sighed bitterly while lifting her hands up in the air slowly and responded softly,
" I am just siding with my heart, Zave. Definitely you will never understand."
She spoke in a breath before casting those magical balls on their way that quickly built a wall of invisibility. A light black layer held back those soldiers including Zave in captive who desperately struggled to break off the walls.
Zave shouted out her name angrily,
" Athena....!! You....!!!"
He roared and slapped on the invisible wall constantly that only made his palms bleeding profusely. He grunted in pain and staggered backwards while shooting a death glare to the woman stood a few metres away from his range.
Athena smiled proudly as she growled back,
" You forgot that I am the princess of Vampires, Zave. My powers can never match to yours."
She baffled before turning around to face Ethan whose feelings were turning turbulent. He watched the woman blankly who still threw herself in danger to protect him.
Was he doing something regretful ?
He wandered and heard Athena's stern voice,
" Leave the villa right away and try to find Siemus outside. Till then, I will hold them all back here."
Ethan hesitated before spitting out lowly,
" But you..."
Athena quickly cut off his words without looking through his eyes what if she regretted,
" They won't dare to harm me, Ethan but they will definitely harm you. Please leave now. Don't waste your time."
Ethan still wanted to say something but noticing Athena's expression turning pale for using excess power, he decided to leave as soon as possible.
As he passed by Athena's standing figure, he heard her say lowly,
" From today onwards, we have nothing to owe each others Ethan. Just take care of my child well. I will be waiting to meet her."
Ethan paused a bit before gazing through her pained expression deeply. Stammering on his words, he spoke whispering softly,
" Can I ask a favor from you, Athena?"
Athena jolted before glancing up at him curiously. As their eyes met, Ethan's heart clenched into a fist as he murmured mystically,
" Don't show up in front of me ever. Remember if I see you once again, I will never let you go again."
He spoke in a breath before turning around to leave the villa according to Athena's command. Athena kept staring at his back blankly as each piece of her heart had been carried away by his each steps.
