Chapter 407 - Jessie & Shanz ----- Part 2
|| RECOMMENDED SONG:
Call Out My Name By The Weekend ~?||
Jessie used her ear piercing tone to summon the current king of Davina that was something shocking for the entire Royal Castle. Not mention that, she had killed a Royal Guard right after the moment that she stepped in.
Her appearance had no impression of Princess. Instead she looked devastated, shattered by the news of her elder sister. More importantly, she was broken by the other piece of information that Shanz was involved in everything. Though she didn\'t visit Isabella so far, Jessie could imagine that how her sister\'s life would become without the child.
It was a good thing that Davina\'s Royal Castle hadn\'t many people to live in. Shanz drove away most of the staffs and lived alone with a few number servants there. Thus her yelling voice didn\'t snatch the attention of others. Jessie continued shouting untill she was panting and gasping to breath normally.
Upstairs of Davina\'s Castle, Shanz was seated beside the fireplace. Rocking on his chair back to forth, he was happened to immerse in deep thoughts when the sound of someone calling his name entered into his ears. Shanz whipped his head back, narrowing who could be calling him by his name. So far there wasn\'t any people living in Davina who could actually call him by his name. Only his brother, Vincent had the right of calling him using his name so openly. But after his death, the possiblity was nearly zero.
When he dwelled on the thoughts of detecting that voice, another round of yelling voice rang from the downhall. Frowning hard, Shanz sat up from the chair and tugged on his loose robe to fix it.
Slipping inside his slippers, he made his way outside slowly only to be stopped beside the railings as his eyes spotted the familiar silhouette at the center of her downhall. His gaze narrowed deeply but the familiar feeling inside his heart didn\'t fade away. So many decades had passed yet this woman never stopped ruling his heart. One glance of her face was enough to destroy each layer of hatred that they bore for each others.
But can you really hate the person whom you loved once?
Shanz kept staring down at her from upstairs for a while. Since she appeared here at this hour, something severe might have happened definitely. Shanz thought but didn\'t let go of the opportunity of worshipping her face. If he replied at once, he clearly knew that he wouldn\'t get the chance of looking at her so peacefully anymore.
Jessie looked around speechlessly. Even though she shouted like a maniac beast, not a single soul made any appearance upon her arrival. Shanz watched her look of bewilderment blissfully.
Taking his own time to lean against the railings upward, he spoke in a sarcastic voice from there,
" What a day of having the princess of Basarisk in my castle! "
Jessie snapped her head up to see Shanz all smiling at her sarcastically. The sight of his face after pushing her sister to a dead end encited her anger more. Jessie couldn\'t believe that he was standing there so calmly even after taking the life of an innocent child.
Jessie growled gripping hard on her blood stained sword,
" SHANZ!! Come down.. now.. Don\'t make me go upstairs! "
Her voice was cold but there was a hint of emotions behind her voice. She didn\'t know why did she come but the war between them needed to be finished or else more innocent lives would be leaving the world sooner or later.
Shanz shot her a strange look, wondered what madness had possessed inside her at this hour. He compelled following her downstairs and stopped only few steps away from her.
His brows raised questioningly,
" What do you want now?"
Even though his question was bit rude, the expression on his face couldn\'t hide the happiness that he felt after their sudden meeting.
Jessie parted her lips open a bit disbelievingly. Before her words could fell out, her hand worked fast like a killing machine. In a matter of second, Jessie whipped the sword in the air to press it right under his throat.
Surprised by his action, Shanz was a bit confused but didn\'t try to dodge under the eyes of her beauty. Jessie\'s voice came out crackingly,
" Why did you do this to us? Why? Aren\'t you happy enough with all the things that you had done in the past, Shanz?"
Jessie spoke before letting her tears roll down through her cheeks. It was something that Shanz witnessed never in his life. His gaze narrowed and a sudden heart wrenched feeling began to envelope his heart unknowingly. Her tears were like sharp dagger, slicing his heart and soul into pieces.
Intaking a short breath to stable his emotions, Shaz responded through his parted lips,
" What do you mean?"
Jessie almost laughed by his question. Casting a hateful glare on him, she replied disbelievingly,
" Stop being pretentious, Shanz! I am here right in front of you. Still you are lying on my face. Please, at least be truthful to me for once in life. Tell me, what will make you stop from harming my family?"
Shanz was confused by her wrath. He didn\'t even understand what was she talking about exactly. Trying to cool his nerves, he took another attempt to ask her gently,
" Jessie, I don\'t understand.."
" Don\'t call me by my name! ", Jessie\'s enraged voice cut off his words. Tears continued to fall down, Jessie continued pressing hard on her sword,
" You have lost the right of calling me by my name."
Shanz swallowed down the bitter feelings into his stomach. Keeping a stern face, he replied through his gritted teeth,
" For God\'s sake, can you tell me what did I do this time?"
Jessie lost the last bit of her temper. Brusting out in anger, she yelled shaking the entire castle by the velocity of her voice,
" You killed Isabella\'s baby!! An innocent child!! A baby!! How could you..."
Her voice dried down, thinking about the pain that he caused to her. Shanz frowned becoming astounded as he was before. Before he could offer her a reply, an unfamiliar soft voice came from their back,
" Prince Shanz! Who is she?"
