RECOMMENDED SONG: Lovely By Billie Eilish, Khalid ~🖤

REISAN HALLOW was looking exactly the same that she had read from Aaron's library book once. Dark, Mysterious as if it had the power of drowning everything into an unknown world.

This might be seemed foolish to be seen that after leaving her lover, she came to this cursed hallow which had awful histories to be gossiped among the average creatures. After leaving the border of Silver city, her emotions were turbulent and she thought of spending a quality time with herself.

As she didn't know where was Ethan at that time, she didn't want to bother with her own pains and scars. Subconsciously when she landed down from the sky, she found herself inside the adjoined forest of REISAN HALLOW. Her curiousity sparked suddenly thus she boldly made her way towards the cave which was located at the centre of that forest. When she visited here with Viviana in the past, Viviana revealed that vampires were prohibited to step inside this jungle.

Suddenly a piece of memory flashed in front of her vision when a old woman told her that her answers could be found inside REISAN HALLOW. Though she didn't know the woman's real identity but today she really felt something connected with this cursed hallow.

The chilling wind blew harshly one more time through her pale skin. The sky was dark above but her face was more darker filled with mixed feelings. Esme's lips quivered lightly and her eyes couldn't see anything inside the hallow except pitch darkness.

She breathed in exasperation and continued nudging her bottom lips uneasily.

Her searched answer? What could be that? She has already figured out every truth of Aaron.

Esme wondered in her thoughts deeply and suddenly her pupils sharnk in anticipation. Her fists clutched the hem of her gown nervously as she whispered out disbelievingly,

" Father... Could it be?? "

This was the most questionable truth that was left inside her life. Since the day their father left, Esme had used various kinds of spells to track his father but she failed everytime. Even her high fairy powers couldn't help it out. It was told in the myth that every daughter was their father's most precious treasure. She didn't understand if he really loved her the most, then why did he leave without telling her a word.

It would be lie to tell that she didn't miss her father's presence. After all, no matter what every daughter has a soft corner for their father especially. Her heart couldn't stop the excitement that she could get to know about her father from this hallow.

All of her rational thoughts suddenly faded away and all of her concerns fell on that mysterious cave. She hesitated for a long time and suddenly placed her palm on her flat stomach. Running her hands on it slowly, she murmured lowly,

" Baby, we must know about your grandfather. Be good, okay? "

She didn't receive any response but felt more stronger as if her babies provided her more support. She squeezed her eyes shut for a while and rememorized the tales where it was told that anyone could achieve anything from this cave if she or he could prove her bravery to the dark spirits inside.

Esme had that confident on her abilities that she would be able to prove herself worthy. Thus she dared to take the bold step. Furthermore she needed a break from everything. Perhaps she could find her father, her pain would be lessened more after receiving his immense love.

Esme smiled faintly at this wishful thought and started to climb the little stairs. After climbing up and stopping at the edge of hallow, she looked down through the darkeness and took a lungful breath to absorb her self power.

Focusing on one intention of finding her father's whereabouts firmly, her body jumped out and fell into the hallow amidst the darkness.

Inside the pitch darkness, her low murmured prayer could be heard only,

" Father, Please come to me. Your daughter needs you today."

_DALASTIA WORLD_

The courtyard of White Castle was crowded with citizens today as they all came to witness the magnificent glory of their new King. Even Queen Melinda couldn't help but passing back and forth anxiously. Evan stayed by her side with a worried face as he knew that how Ester had harmed everyone in the past.

As the crowd awaited in dense silence, someone from the crowd suddenly cried out in excitement loudly,

" Look at the sky! It's prince Ethan. He is coming down."

Everyone followed uo her gaze in the sky and really saw Ethan's flattering wings descending down slowly. The crowd immediately cheered in joy and clapped for his victory excitedly.

Queen Melinda heavied a sigh of relief and smiled widely. She knew that Ethan could make it. But where was Ester?

Did..did he really kill him?

Queen Mother's expression immediately flashed with complicated thoughts as she couldn't help but feeling joy and heartache at the same time. After all, she adored Ester the most.

Ethan landed down swiftly over the courtyard and greeted everyone politely. The higher Fairies were all contented with the outcome and was already waiting with the crown beside Queen Melinda.

Ethan smiled at them slightly because his vital task was still left undone. This crown didn't mean anything to him if he can't rescue Ayra and Esme fast.

Queen Melinda didn't dare to approach fast and only gestured at the higher ups to place the crown on his head. As one of them approached Ethan with the White diamonded crown, Ethan denied instantly and revealed his true intentions,

" No, Please Stop! I will only accept the crown if my sister gets back the permission of coming back to this world."

All of sudden, the crowd fell in dense silence including Queen Melinda who was stunned by Ethan's demand. Katherine who happened to be late to join the gathering was halted in her track and looked up at Ethan astonishingly.

Queen Melinda couldn't hold back her wrath anymore and shouted on Ethan ferociously,

" Ethan..how dare you make such an absorb request? Don't you know that she can't never get back in this world with her shameful character? Don't act impulsively for the sake of your unworthy sister."

Ethan's face clouded in anger as he rebuked back with authority,

" You promised to me that you won't meddle in my matters if I succeed in the battle. Then why are you stopping me now? "

He paused and looked up at the higher ups questioningly,

" Tell me, masters. If a king can't decide what is good for his family, then is there any need to become a king? "

The higher Fairies hung their heads down nervously and one of them explained,

" Indeed, prince Ethan is speaking the truth, Queen Melinda. He can decide anything what he wants. We,no longer have authorities to stop him from doing anything. We, as his servants can only obey his command."

Queen Melinda shivered in anger and kept breathing rapidly. Her gaze watched Ethan coldly and heard him say loudly,

" Then tell few troops to follow my way now. I am going to rescue my sister from Vampire World."

Everyone gasped in shock at the mention of Vampire world and exchanged blank glances questioningly. The troops immediately followed his path hurriedly and left everyone with numerous thoughts.

Queen Melinda had lost her ability of speaking anything untill Ethan left the courtyard with his troops immediately.
