Chapter 187 - The Engagement Ceremony Part 1
_DALASTIA WORLD_
Since the long awaiting day had come in real,the civilians were much more excited the heirs of themselves. The sky was clear and concise above as the noises of fairies reverberated in the air of Dalastia world.
After loosing the last one of his triumph card, Ester had improsened himself inside his own discerned villa and didn't appear out as he feared that he might end up killing some nerds unreasonably to vent out his burning fury.
How did the Dragon King turn down his offer? Doesn't he afraid of revealing his buried secrets?
But he couldn't do anything recklessly regarding this matter as Oscar was the king of all dragons shape shifters. He could only lure him at their fighting spot and bargain him with his unborn demon son in exchange of his own victory. With this wishful thought, Ester stayed in his own villa assuringly whilst Ethan practiced his martial arts in their open corridor adjusted to the second floor.
Evan,the youngest prince was calm as usual eyes as he inspected his brother from back. Ethan's gaze was abnormally dark as if he was killing thousand invisible people with those eyes. Whirling his sword in the air, he twisted his hand in the air holding the old remarkable sword before thrashing it down into the marble floor forcefully. The floor creaked letting out a scratching sound but his fury remained the same.
Evan sighed longingly staring deeply at his back and approached near him slowly after hesitating for a long long time. He swallowed a mouthful saliva once he noticed that Ethan's muscles were tightened as if he was suppressing his anger.
Evan opened and closed his mouth before asking hoarsely,
" Brother..You..you should stop now..How longer you want to continue this practice? It's already a long time. Aren't you feeling tired?"
Ethan replied still playing with his sword and growled lowly,
" Almost done! Why are you here? Is mother looking for me?"
Evan hesitated before answering him cautiously,
" No..I..I just thought of visiting you."
Even though Ethan didn't turn around, he could sense that Evan was hesitating to spit out something. This he urged initially swinging his sword in the air,
" Say or leave!"
Evan jolted and immediately turned nervous as soon as Ethan urged him sternly. He could feel that Ethan was in foul mood still he couldn't hold back his curiousity. Taking a deep breath to encourage himself, Evan spoke lightly standing behind his back,
" I..I was wondering that did you plan something to stop Princess Athena's engagement ceremony? Aren't you going to do something? She is your mate after all."
As soon as Evan mentioned about Athena's engagement, the air around them dropped drastically and the loud banging tune of sword dropping made the environment more stiff. Evan jolted stumbling backwards as his face fell in nervousness. Looking up at his way, he saw an enlarged Ethan who were glaring at his face challengingly.
Evan bit his bottom lip in anxiety and almost collapsed in fear. He never had seen Ethan so furious ever. Controlling the burning rage inside his mind, Ethan only spited out two meaningful lines enough to make Ethan frozen in his spot,
" First, don't ever mention about herself to me. Second, it's better that you never ask me about her because I am going to marry Katherine and I know that she won't appreciate it."
Evan was so stunned that he forgot to move his limbs for a long long time. At a corner, a certain girl blushed hard after hearing his confession blankly.
_MOONSHINE CASTLE_
Soon evening fell down over the city of Vampire world. Bats chirped over the sky of moonshine amidst the darkness as today was the biggest lunar eclipse of year. The castle which seemed like a deadly hallow in daytime was now decorated with various colorful lanterns presenting the grand ceremony of Vampire clan. Thousand of different noises could be heard from its surrounding as the average civilians surrounded the area of moonshine just to steal a little glimpse of their beauty princess.
From its maingate towards the entrance, the whole pathway was drapped with a thick lavishing carpet in order to highlight its alluring decoration. The guardsman who served the royal family for years were also dressed unbelievably bright tonight according to Aaron's strict order. He didn't want to bring any poor luck on Athena's fate. He wanted to show the entire world that how should be a princess treated. The gloomy castle which was always covered in darkness was now shining like a brightest star in the sky.
Amidst the chaos, the man who wore a black embroidered tuxedo today was making his way upstairs as his long semi black coat swiped on the ground occasionally. Even though everyone greeted him politely, his eyes were unfazed and his only concern leaped on the woman getting dressed inside the room.
Without knocking beforehand, he pushed open the door creaking lightly and stepped in before turning frozen more like a ice cube. His mouth parted open slightly in awe as he watched her backless view. Even though he still didn't view her alluring face, he could already predict her beauty.
The maids smiled shyly before exchanging meaningful glances and left the room considerably.
Esme who was inspecting her outfit didn't watch the man staring at her back hungrily thus she didn't turn.
She was wearing a bright purple gown today that ended up touching the cold floor beneath her feet. Comparing to her earlier gowns, it was maiden loosely naturally according to Aaron's order who didn't want others to suspect on her tiny baby bump. Though it was completely impossible to predict but he didn't dare to take any risk. The swell of her breasts were slightly revealed that showed her curves very significantly. Her long cloudy hairs were cascaded down and the maids very skillfully put on stone clippers on them. Her lips were painted rosely as she appeared like a born fairy today.
Even Aaron who had ravished her beauty numerous times still couldn't drool himself on her today. He hated to admit that he was getting jealous on this thought that so many people would be able to enjoy her angelic appearence today.
But what could he do? She was born to catch the limelight and was a prominent queen and princess.
Exhaling a helpless sigh, he approached her very cautiously in fear of scaring her and hugged one side of her waist from back gently.
Esme jolted looking through the mirror astounding abruptly. When their eyes met, she had to avert it somewhere else instantly as she could see the lust in his dark red eyes.
Aaron chuckled watching her getting embarrassed and blew hot air purposely beside her hairs. Esme shivered as goosebumps easily crepted up on her skin subconsciously. His cold palm rubbed on her lower abdomen softly as he whispered beside her ears seductively,
" Do you mind getting another one inside you?"
Esme was speechless and shot him a narrow glare widely.
She was already pregnant with twins okay?
She huffed before patting on her cheeks softly and mumbled,
" You will never stop flirting, huh?"
Aaron laughed softly as his lips dropped down to leave soft smooches on her exposed shoulderline gently. His hand rubbed her stomach cautiously as he responded in a deep sensual voice,
" Why should I? I know, you will like it."
Esme blushed embarrassingly as she knew that he was spouting her deep buried secrets. She preferred his goofy playboy self comparing to his demeanor majestic look. Without uttering a single word, she concentrated on touching up her makeup but the man was determined to distract her oblivious concentration.
He kept brushing his lips on her beautiful curves leaving goosebumps wherever his lips touched. Her body quivered lightly determined to stay calm but one point, his probing hand changed direction from her bellybutton and started crawling downstairs.
Esme was alerted instantly and groped his hand harshly. Still holding his wrist in grip, she glared at him sidely and scolded,
" Stop doing that! You are distracting me."
Aaron inhaled her sweet fragrance slowly and mumbled with deeper meaning,
" Esme..how...how about you change into another gown?"
Esme blushed as soon as she understood the lewd meaning of his words. She smacked his hand away and puffed while fixing her hairs,
" No way! So many guests will be waiting for us. How can you speak like that? I am afraid that you will pass your dirty talks to my sons."
Aaron's expression immediately darkened as he rebuked confidently,
" What sons? You will definitely give birth to daughters. I will love mini version of yours."
Esme paused abruptly and asked back while combing her long hairs,
" How can you say that? Have you sensed their gender too? It may be the first time that I am hearing from a king that he would be happy to get princesses instead of princes. Don't you fear of having no heirs?"
Aaron's beaming face suddenly turned serious as he replied lowly looking at her through the mirror ahead,
" No..I am just afraid of loosing you."
Esme's grip tightened on her comb as her heart skipped a bit. She gulped but didn't continue the topic anymore.
Changing the wrenching topic, Aaron sighed softly before speaking beside her ears seriously,
" You will always stick to me today. Remember that?"
Esme narrowed saying curiously,
" Why?"
Aaron mumbled as his gaze turned deeper in unknown fear,
" The members of council will be present tonight. I don't want anything unexpected to happen. You should know that I will try to protect you and our babies in every possible way."
