Katherine could smell the rough scent of vodka coming out from his mouth as he kept his head leaning down onto her flashed face. She was too excited to receive the honour of being kissed by the renowned Prince of fairies who was admired by the high fairies too. Her heart was flattering excitedly till the moment, she heard out an unfamiliar name in his lips that made her frozen instantly.
Blinking abruptly, she heard him mumbling in a low pathetic tone,
" You.. you hurt me but why can't I let go of you?? Its so painful to hate and love you at the same time."
So he had another woman in his heart as Katherine listened his abrupt words quietly. A sense of pain aroused in her broken heart as she couldn't believe that her dream man had been robbed away by another woman without her consent.
She observed Ethan's flashed face as she gritted her teeth together tightly. Watching him still in dilemma, she suddenly had the urge of doing something reckless as she tiptoed before clinging onto his arms seductively.
Ethan was still mumbling as he looked down on the alluring face with his blurry vision. Katherine demanded coldly looking through his confused eyes that couldn't distinguish between reality or vision,
" Kiss me, kiss me hard Brother Ethan. You will forget about the despicable woman who has broken your heart. I will be taking care of you for my whole life and will never let you down. Just kiss me once, please!!"
Ethan struggled to keep his heavy eyelids opened up as his drowsy head clumsily leaned down to capture her seductive lips but at that moment, he was shoved away harshly before another cold hands grabbed his waist.
Turning back to see the face, Ethan spotted his younger brother Evan who had pushed him back from kissing her all of sudden. Evan was furious as he gazed at Katherine disdainfully. He never ever imagined that under the innocent face, this girl could be so shameless to cling onto Ethan's arms in his drunken state. This outrageous behaviour didn't match Katherine's personality at all. Lucky, he had come out for a walk after not being able to sleep for a few hours and thought of roaming around. At that time, he heard the mumbling tone of Ethan and curiously walked over the corridor to examine the situation. After hearing their brief conversation, Evan quickly understood that what was going to happen as he hastily pulled off Ethan from Katherine before he could commit the mistake that would make him regretting later.
After being red caught handed by Evan, Katherine was embarrassed to death as she chewed down her bottom lips embarrassingly. Never ever she wished that her feisty nature would be discovered by Evan too fast. Thus she parted open her lips to say something but Evan quickly cut off her words,
" I assume that you shouldn't be here at this hour, Miss Katherine."
Katherine was stunned releasing the coldness behind his words and forced an awkward smile saying,
" Evan.. I.. I just came to inhale some fresh airs and found him completely drunk. I was trying to help him to head back to his bedroom. "
Evan sneered coldly holding his brother straight and replied,
" No need! Now I have come, you should get back to your room. I can take care of him alone. Furthermore please don't roam around the castle randomly at night. It might stir up many unexpected rumours regarding your character. You don't want to disgrace yourself while living in white castle, do you Miss Katherine? "
Katherine looked up at Evan coldly and didn't find a word to rebuke his statement. Undoubtedly Evan was warning her indirectly and showed her own status in the castle as an outsider. Thus she bite down her lips hard before replying abruptly,
" Then.. then..I will take my leave Prince Evan. I won't bother you anymore."
Evan hummed giving her a distant glare as she stormed back inside her bedroom fuming in rage.
Once I marry brother Ethan, I will show my status to Prince Evan very soon!
After her departure, Evan paid his whole attention to Ethan who placed his head on his shoulders weakly while continuing spitting out mumbling words vaguely.
Evan sighed helplessly before dragging Ethan's almost fainted body way back to the bedroom. After arriving inside the room, Evan helped him lying down on the bed as he went to pull out his shoes gently.
Watching his brother still mumbling abruptly, Evan turned curious and walked over to his head side to hear out his mumbling tone. Ethan was swinging between half awaken and half unconscious state as he mumbled pitifully,
" You.. you killed my brother.. but.. see.. I have hidden your.. daughter.. from... you... my sister is her mother... hehe.. revenge done but.. but..."
He hiccuped twice before placing his own palm on his heart side and sutured again,
" It's aching here.. After knowing that you will become anyone's else.. shit.. I should hate you.. "
Evan was frozen and completely shocked by his words as he didn't even dare to imagine the complete story behind Ethan's words. Gasping softly, Evan barely managed to inquire Ethan leaning down,
Ethan whimpered groggily before responding in a brief,
" Athena.. Athena Richards.. the vampire Princess.."
Evan gasped loudly and turned dumbstruck as if he was thrown into frozen water. Blocking his mouth from choking hard, he murmured letting his tears falling down casually,
" That Child? Older Brother? I.. I knew it.. My sister can never do this crime.. She.. she just has sacrificed for older brother?"
At the same time, the shadow that had been hidden under the curtains spit out in a disbelief tone,
" What??"
MOONSHINE CASTLE,
After descending down on the grassy filed, Esme had a broad smile pestering on her lips as she couldn't believe that her all powers had come back.
But how did it happen? Perhaps the high fairies had been showed mercy on her eventually or something else? Moreover she has been marked by Aaron just tonight? What will happen now when he will find out that she is a Fairy? Doesn't it consider a crime to marry a vampire in her clan?
Millions thought flashed across her mind as her smile quickly faded away. When she was just a normal human being, it didn't give her any tension regarding this marriage as she already gave up the hope that her powers could ever bring back. But now things had turned out to be the most terrible thing that could shatter many lives.
She solemnly hoped that Aaron would accept this undeniable truth and could protect her baby. As for returning to her own family, she didn't dare to wish that much and could only wait to see the future.
Inhaling a deep breath, she picked up the fallen shawl from the ground before heading towards the way of castle slowly. She quickly needed to figure out the solution fast before everyone got to know about her true self.
Holding the shawl tightly around her arms, she reached at the hallway and intended to get up. At that moment, her eyes located the little door towards the prison which was left unlocked and partially half opened.
Pausing in her tracks, her eyes wandered around to locate anyone but no one seemed to be here at this hour. Her suspension grew stronger as she strode down from the stairs slowly.
Tiptoeing near the door, she continued approaching through the large corridor that led her way towards the prison area. Passing the spacious corridor, she reached at the accommodated mansion that was particularly made for prisoners slowly.
She scanned around and surprisingly didn't find anyone guarding the doors at this late hour. Her mind alarmingly gave her bad feelings but she continued approaching inside the shells fearlessly.
Her track halted abruptly as she heard a woman's mournful tone buzzing in air pitifully,
" My Lady.. My lady... what are you doing? I have been your loyal servant for years. How can you think about killing me?"
Esme was stunned for a while recalling the incident that Carol had been prisoned and was interrogated by Jasper so far but the woman didn't spit out a single words.
Tiptoeing near the shell, Esme overhearded the conversation as she heard another vicious tongue stating,
" Even I had never thought of killing you Carol. But I have no way out. If you stay alive and someday take my name regarding the poison incident, Aaron will start hating me again. But I can't let that happen at any cost."
Carol shook her head desperately and assured backwards stepping fearfully as the silver knife on Vanessa's hand had been glowering under the dim light horrifically,
" I won't.. I won't ever my lady.. Please spare my life. I have whole family to take care of them. Please, I beg you. Just don't kill me.."
She pleaded desperately but there wasn't any ounce of mercy on Vanessa's vicious eyes. She continued approaching as Carol shifted in a corner horrifically.
Her death was an inch closer from her! Is this the same woman that she has severed for years without a single complaint and endured all her humiliations?
Who will save her from this cruel woman now?
Carol wondered as she felt Vanessa's shadow quickly towering over her figure deathly.
