RECOMMENDED SONG : The Heart Wants What It Wants By Selena Gomez ~🖤

Esme fell into questions of pool once her father pinpointed at the thoughts that she insisted on keeping in hold back inside her chest. The early morning breeze went through her face sweeping through her messy hairs softly like a soothing tune. Esme was lost in her memories after being quired. Pleasent memories started to appear and dissapare from her sight and soon her tears couldn't stay standing on her last barrier. It dropped down silently expressing the pain and love that she had for the man. Deep inside, a part of her asked her to go back to him but other part cruelly rejected the idea and let her keep folded inside.

She didn't spout anymore words and heard his father calm and considering voice,

" I understand that you love him so much. You just have to figure out a way to forgive him,my dear child. What is the point of leaving him if you are hurting yourself more? Besides, love requires pain and sacrifice which completes the name of love. Tell me, are you willing to forgive him or not?"

Esme felt baffled at his questions and hung her head down lowly. After restraining her emotions, she sniffed before whispering softly,

" I..I think that I will need time.. to think about the matter, father. My heart is in pain."

As an old man who was in love deeply once understood his daughter's emotions. It wasn't easy for her to forget everything in a moment. Besides, she was pregnant and was having mood swings frequently. Thus he didn't pressure her anymore and coaxed wisely,

" Sure, take your time as much as you want but don't take forever untill it becomes too late."

Esme nodded compherensively and scratched her nose instinctively. Looking up at her father in complex emotions, she asked with curiousity,

" Then.. why don't you try to seek your forgiveness from mother? She might be expecting your come back."

King Henry smiled at his child faintly. His children were still naive to understand their mother. His eyes blazed with complicated emotions as he whispered painfully,

" You don't know your mother! Once she decides to hate me, she will hate me for forever, Serena. I am better off doing well here alone. Forget about me! Right now, I guess you need to settle more issues."

Esme's expression flipped instantly as numerous matters started to crawl inside her mind. Reminding Ayra's awaiting face, her expression sank before hauling up from the ground hastily. Her voice feigned with anxiousness as she murmured impatiently,

" You.. you are right.. father..I have more things to do except noticing on my own pains.."

She paused abruptly and called him out pleadingly,

" But father..you..."

King Henry interrupted getting up from his chair and smiled at her assuringly,

" No need to worry about me, sweetheart! I was doing well before you appeared. Since you worked hard to find me,I will give you the access of returning in this land. Only you can always meet me here."

Esme nodded and asked with curiousity while roaming her gaze across the land suspiciously,

" But where is..this.. place? I didn't see any way.."

King Henry sighed wandering his eyes around and stated truthfully,

" I have created this place with all my powers, sweetheart. When I left the white castle, I knew that everyone would try to find me out. Hence I created a own place for my living so that no one can find me out without my willingness. But I see that my daughter's willpower is more strengthening than mine. "

Esme smiled lightly, her eyes flashed with emotions as she murmured hugging the old man tightly in her embrace,

" It's only because I love you dearly, father. I needed someone to coax me like you did always. Now I have met you, my heart is in peace."

King Henry hugged back affectionately and whispered placing a precious kiss on her forehead,

" Always, sweetheart! I will be there for you always! Take care of my grandchildren well on behalf of me. Btw they will be troubling you very much."

Esme narrowed her gaze amusingly and tilted her head up to interrogate him suspiciously,

" They aren't even born yet. How can you know so much about them? Wait.. that.. don't.. don't tell me that you can see future? "

Esme questioned buldging her eyeballs out nearly and watched her father smirking mysteriously. Since King Henry had chosen to give off his title as a fairy king, he couldn't disclose his supernatural powers to others anymore. He smiled widely and urged her skipping her obvious question,

" Let's see you off, daughter. You need to take care of other matters fast."

Esme was a little dissapointed after not being able to gratify her thirst but seeing her father's suspicious act, she decided to let go. He might have his own reasons to skip off her questions. A little happy to know about her children, she grinned widely and followed her father outside of the hut closely.

After passing through the flower garden, they both reached at the last end of that unknown valley. Esme's eyes teared up subconsciously as it was time to say farewell to her father. But she was fortunate to meet her. The old man eased a lot of burdens of her emotions.

Just when she pursued her lips to say goodbye, the old man's face suddenly changed color. His brows drew together in unknown fear and after a while, he squeezed Esme's palms tightly and said,

" Take good care of Ayra, sweetheart. She needs your strength."

Esme's expression dropped almost instantly. Her most weakened spot was Ayra for whom she sacrificed her own dignity. She might not be her biological mother but she loves her no less than her unborn child.

She panicked inquiring her father anxiously,

" Father, what do you mean? What's wrong with Ayra? Is she in danger? Father, Please speak now. I would not be able to forgive myself if something happens to her during my absence."

King Henry sighed helplessly and wished that he could disclose everything but he couldn't go against the law that was maiden just after his powers absorbance. Looking away to skip Esme's questioning eyes, King Henry murmured lowly,

" She is..fine for now.. but she will need you by her side in the future. Serena, you all must protect her well since she will receive a lot of hatred and enemies."

Esme gulped down nervously and promised to him confidently,

" Rest assured! Me and my children will be always there to protect her, father. But having so much hatred, who will make her complete? I can give her everything except a man's love which every woman desires."

King Henry smiled mysteriously, tapped on her shoulders and soothed slowly,

" God hasn't made anyone alone in this world, sweetheart. She will meet someone when the right times come. Only til then, you all must protect her well. Remember that she is having Edward's blood which aren't same like yours or Ethan's power. Edward was one of the youngest high fairy the other worlds had ever seen. Things will go different from the way you two do. You must be patience with her teaching everything slowly."

Esme only felt more muddleheaded, the more she heard from her father. She knew that Ayra was a different child but how much she was different, it could be only judged once her own children were born. She kept his words in her mind and bid farewell finally after giving another tight hug,

" Farewell, father! Don't forget to summon me whenever you need me. We will be always your children no matter where you go."

King Henry only smiled back at her widely and replied emotionally,

" I know that! Father just wants all of you to live well."

Esme wiped her tears off and walked out of the magical valley heavy heartedly.

_MOONSHINE CASTLE_

The night passed away quitely except the fact that the entire Vampire world had been turned upside down in order to trace Esme in case she was hiding somewhere. Though it was assured that Esme had chosen to go inside REISAN HALLOW, Jasper still couldn't be rest assured and continued searching through the homes and cities.

Aaron was deep in unconscious state. In his dream, he was picturing their happy family together along with their children who happened to aged six to seven. A sweet lingering dream that he kept hidden deep buried in his heart during her pregnancy. She was so close to him that he could feel the ecasty of her breathing while giggling at their playful children.

He smiled broadening his cold lips and endulged in happiness while his eyes remained closed off. Unfortunately the morning clock dinged loudly helping him to regain his conscious that made his red eyes snapping out widely.

Aaron stared at the ceiling for a long time untill his thoughts came back to stay stable and calm. After figuring out that it was only his dream, his body shook in pain before scrambling up from the bed hastily. His painful eyes darted back and forth in this hopeless thought that what if she appears ahead of him from nowhere. But all his hopes were turned into an useless dream when he found his empty room that had little sunrise creeping inside lightly.

Aaron let out a low whimper of discomfort and pulled off the blanket from his bed. Picking up his pace abruptly, he strode outside and pushed open the door in thud. The guards immediately gasped watching him in a poor state and immediately bowed in respect.

Aaron didn't spend a word on them and started to head downstairs in rush. His only thought was finding Esme no matter where did she go. Down to the earth or down to the ocean, he must find her out.

Queen Mother watched her running out manically outside. She couldn't hold back her rage anymore. Some people in life never learn when to stop their selfish acts. She felt hopeless regarding everything especially after knowing Zave and Vanessa's destruction one after another. Both of them were receiving cruel punishment at their dungeon and her living was only depending on her damn logics. She was furious over Aaron to know that he permitted Athena to leave with those fairies. Thus she didn't step away from hurting Aaron. After watching Vanessa's poor fate, she gathered some confidential news to break down Aaron's spirit completely.

She faked a concerned tongue and called him out desperately while chasing behind his back,

" Aaron..Son..Stop right there..You shouldn't be so insane over a unfilial woman..you don't know what she has done.."

She tried to trigger his curiousity but unfortunately Aaron was in too rush to head outside. When he didn't even turn around, Queen Mother suddenly paused abruptly and shouted out furiously,

" Do you know that the woman for whom you are acting manical has secretly given birth to a bastard child? Still you think that she deserves your so much attention?"

Aaron's track suddenly froze in astonishment. He didn't even know how he had turned around and faced his mother blankly.

What did he just heard out?
