VAMPIRE WORLD,

The sudden disturbance of their little playful moment made Aaron frown hardly. He shoot a dagger like gaze on the closed door as his face flashed with agony.

Esme looked up at his flashed face nervously and her prediction turned true. His anger was about to brust out and ready to fell on the poor maid standing outside.

Under the glittering light of the three rowed chandelier, her face blushed profusely as she looked down and noticed of their improper position. Lucky Aaron didn't pay attention on that. Perhaps he would take the opportunity to tease her more.

She pushed him away from her parting yet inviting legs gently and spoke placing her soft palm on his left shoulder,

" We.. we should go and check Miss Vanessa now. After all she is our guest."

Aaron turned his darkened face to meet her eyes and suddenly smiled faintly.

For the first time, she mentioned something as them. Though her words were very casual and had no deep meaning but she still said that Vanessa is our guest. Undoubtedly it represented their status as a husband and wife making his heart flutter happily.

His expression turned soft like water as he nodded comprehensively and ordered loudly,

" Call the head healer!"

Esme tried to get down after the maid's departure from outside. Aaron gave her a hand of helping gently and helped her to lift down affectionately fixing her dishevelled clothes.

Later Aaron gestured her to head out and both came out from the guest house together. They walk slowly side by side towards upstairs.

They seemed much in comfort especially Aaron who kept smiling like a fool all the while recalling the change of her wife's attitude.

He needed to work a little hard to get her fully as him! Only then he could mark her as him forever.

As they reached in front of Vanessa's bed room, the guards opened the door for them respectively.

As her eyes looked inside, Esme was a little taken back after seeing so many people sorry to her humor vampires together at this hour.

The room was quite large comparing with a guest room of the castle. It contained a lot of space than ordinary people's room.There were more than 20 maids standing inside occupying the whole area and suddenly the room looked over populated to her as if something big happened to her.

Esme was a little taken back at the exaggerating sight and found the aloof Queen Mother standing at the bed side.Her expression seemed worried and tensed.Over the large soft bed, Vanessa was groaning terribly holding her stomach and curling up her body.

Her hairs became messy because she had been rolling on the bed vigorously for quite some time to present the act as more realistic. At the sight of Aaron's presence, Queen Mother spoke up anxiously,

" Look at Vanessa Aaron. She is having severe pain on her stomach. It isn't decreasing at all."

She glanced once at Esme behind blankly and pulled Aaron swiftly towards Vanessa,

" Here, you should stay by her side. She is having pain for so long.. poor child.."

Aaron dismissed her order instantly and said,

" Why should I stay by her side? I have already gave the order to call head healer here.I'm not any kind of healer. Moreover you know that I don't have natural healing power as Athena."

Queen Mother's face turned black at the clear rejection as she smiled awkwardly and said,

" I.. I know Son.. You will take the best steps to recover her fast. It's.. It's just she was calling your name for so long.. "

Just then, Vanessa spoke in a sobbing tone,

" Your highness, please.. please stay.. by my side here.. I will recover fast at your

presence. "

Aaron gazed at her paining figure frowning slightly. Just then she howled again painfully and Aaron couldn't find a to step back from her request. Above all, she was his childhood friend.

Reluctantly he sat down beside the edge of the bed. Queen Mother's face smirked triumphantly and gave a wink at Vanessa who saw it from the corner of her eyes.

Behind them, Esme was standing still dropping her eyes on the bed as confusion aroused in her mind.

She didn't mind the fact that Aaron was accompanying Vanessa in her ill state. But the way, Vanessa was groaning loudly,it felt too show catching in her vision. Even though she was continously telling that she was in severe pain but her face showed no sign of eternal injury. Her face was still bright as usual except the fact that her eyes were closed shut forcefully.Moreover she wasn't in those kind of normal human who would fall sick easily.

Esme forcefully flashed away her absurd thoughts and was waiting patiently for the head healer. But her attentive gaze didn't miss the slight interaction between Vanessa and Queen Mother.

She was ensure about the fact that Vanessa smirked mischievously at Queen Mother.A frown of suspension appeared on her face as she gazed at Vanessa's expression deeply.

Aaron sat down beside him not moving a little and sometimes spoke a few words of comfort. But Vanessa was evil as always.She seized the rare opportunity and thought of pressing her head on his lap lovingly.

It would be a huge slap on Esme if Aaron start comforting her patting her head!

Thus she started groaning and rolling over the bed like a snake and started getting near his lap. Just when her head was one inch away from placing it on his lap, Aaron's body was pulled up instantly.

Aaron was dumbfounded and looked up hearing Esme's sweet yet demanding words,

" You should give Miss Vanessa more space, your highness. Look at how she is rolling terribly in pain. Perhaps the vigorous rolling was giving her slight comfort."

Then she gestured Jasper and ordered,

" Take a chair from downstairs here. Your Lord will sit down. "

Everyone "...."

HUMAN WORLD,

After following his order like a disciplined student, Athena went upstairs on the building. As usual all the stores were closed down and she settled down herself comfortably with the little one after finding no tools to sit down. After being taken in a new place, the puppy ran around fascinating about the whole surroundings around him.

Athena laughed a little at the expression of his amused face. Perhaps it had been staying in a home all the while and didn't seem to visit the outside world much before. Thus whatever it found new even the display doll standing in front of a cloth store,his curiosity piqued as it went near the doll observing it deeply.

The summer rain continued heavily as if the god had lavished his blessing through the rain open handedly.

Athena's face tensed up after feeling the long absence of Ethan.She badly wanted to go down but hold back everytime thus that rude boy would be annoyed over her again.

Another thunderstroke fall so loudly that the whole building trembled at it's high frequency. Even the puppy ran towards her way and hid in her lap fearfully.

Her anxious mind didn't ease up and finally determined to go down. She hold the puppy in her arm and continued her journey downstairs.

On the other side,

Ethan's body was lying down on the mid street pitifully. His face looked so pale as if he was dying in pain. The old pain from his waist continued increasing as his visions were turning black gradually.

He felt no strength on his body and heard the ruthless voice,

" Come on, brother.. Get up.. Tsk.. How can you be so weak? You have just broken down after getting a single attack from me. How can you be a rightful heir for the throne? You are just useless as your whore sister."

Ethan's body jolted in rage at the mention of Esme again. He tried to get up with the last bit of strength left.

As his body lifted halfway from the ground, Ester approached near him and kicked again on his waist.

This time, Ethan screamed out in severe pain as his body fell behind hitting the iron blinker of the manhole hardly. His warm blood started flowing down from the back of his soaked hairs.

He vaguely heard Ester's mocking laughter !

Ester continued laughing and suddenly paused looking at his numb figure. His blue eyes emitted an aura of killing as he started walking near him again.

Two steps ahead of him, Ester's heard a groaning voice of a woman,

" Stop right there! Don't you dare to approach him."

Ester shifted his gaze forward and his brows knitted in confusion.

A young girl was standing boldly a few steps away from them. But surprisingly her face and head was tightly wrapped with a thick layer of cloth. Though he couldn't see her face but the ferocious gaze landing on him gave him a little fear.

Back then, he only saw the woman's back sitting beside Ethan. Later he didn't find her sign and assumed that it might be a random city girl. Thus he didn't have the idea that this girl was the same one as he saw before.

On the contrary, when Esme reached down, her heart wrenched in pain. As soon as she came near the entrance, she found Ethan's blood covered body lying on the street mourning painfully.Obviously she had a sharp vision as a female vampire. It took no time for her to understand that the body was his master's. Thus she charged forward instantly and met the devilish man, Ester who was about to hurt Ethan again.

Ester laughed loudly and teased waving his hand,

" Little girl, go back to your home.Don't meddle in my business."

Athena sneered and replied with a step forward,

" But you are meddling with my people. Of course, it's my business. Try to attack him again at my presence and see how I will show you your worth. "

Ester laughed in mockery again as his evil laughter reverberated at the empty street through the heavy rainfall.

He paused between his laughter and replied taking off his black gloves,

" Then let me show you your worth first, bitch."

As he wanted to approach, his eyes went wide in astonishment as he retreated a step back staggering and knowing the familiar vision.

Opposite, Athena's eyeballs were flaring up like a burning lava. Inside the dense darkness with a half covering face and flaring eyeballs made her appearance more like a devil queen.

She invited bravely in a cold tone,

" Come on now!"
