Esme was in bizarre state as if the world around her started whirling like an ironic wheel. The more Aaron delayed his time of answering her, the further her suspension grew stronger. Aaron pursued his thin lips together, unable to combine a well refined answer instead a restless sigh escaped through the valley of his parted lips. Even in this chaotic situation, Esme's eyes only kept staring at his perplexed expression from sideway.
Her body was still aching from the earlier velocity of powers that she sensed. But the pain in her heart with a pool of questions started arising up like volcano. Aaron still shielded her with all his might as his limbs started turning weak after her blowing question. He didn't know how to answer her at this state when loosing her would be the only outcome.
The old lord trembled all over in anger when he looked through the firm determination on Aaron's eyes who chose his wife over his kingdom. Right at this moment, it was assured that his position could be threatened if he acted recklessly to protect a fairy in his wife form. Except Old lord, Queen Mother wasn't calm at all. Her expression was fired up as she couldn't wait to drive her away from Aaron's life.
Again another fairy! Again!
Wasn't it enough to ruin her daughter? But now it was his son who was legally married to a white creature.
After a lot of contemplation, Queen Mother used his harsh tongue momentarily forgetting another trival matter that Athena had refused to get engaged,
" Aaron!! Stay back from her!! She is a fairy and should not have anything to do with you. You were cheated by her all the time, why must you protect her dignity? We, Vampires can never select a mate from fairy clan. Stay hack! Goodness, a lot of people are watching over you including the council."
Aaron didn't move a bit instead he shielded Esme more profoundly. His narrowed gaze fell over his mother who came in between to show off her powers over him. Biting his lips together, Aaron responded sincerely while eyeing over his surrounding cautiously in case anyone suddenly makes a move on Esme,
" Mother, I knew it from the beginning. Whatever our laws are, she is my legal wife and the queen of all Vampires by laws. How can you order me to leave her over all of you alone? I admit that it was my fault to keep it secret from you but it doesn't change the fact that she is my legally wedded wife."
Esme felt a thunderbolt exploding inside her mind as soon as Aaron admitted that he had been aware of her identity from the beginning. She discovered herself standing inside a bloodthirsty storm as if they were ready to swallow her whole any time. She only blinked quitely and felt her palms getting cold after this revelation. All the while, she tried to tell him that she was a fairy,a white creature and their love was impossible. But right now, she felt herself getting deceived by him everyday wheraous she foolishly believed that he didn't know anything.
Why must he adhere this step? What was the reason behind everything?
It was inveitable to say that Aaron was in madly love with her from the beginning because they had a kind of flash or forced marriage.
Esme couldn't think straight anymore as her brain scratched hard to collude everything. She breathed heavily as her wings slowly went back to their earlier spot silently.
At that time, finally the lead man of council, Mr.Rogers decided to intervene with his thunderous tongue echoing in the air of Moonshine,
The whole crowd gasped in fear and quickly lowered their gaze down from them including old Lord who could vaguely expect that what was coming. Taking a large two strides, Mr.Rogers came over to them goofily from opposite direction. His boots ticktocked over the floor as it resounded like a devil walking into the house. With a swish, he stopped in front of Aaron as his gaze was filled with mortified fury. Scanning Aaron from head to toe, Mr.Rogers sneered coldly as his eyes glared at Esme on the back,
" I am surprised to know that we have such an irresponsible, unruly lord who doesn't know how to value of our laws and terms. We only let go of this matter thinking that this woman was only an everage human being but you actually married a fallen fairy? For what reason King Aaron? Have you gone bewitched by this little beauty? If you wanted to toy with her, we had no objections on that. But now you are standing like a proud brat to protect this omnious creature ! How could you think that we would let you handle the world on your own way? We can never endure the humiliation of our laws. Stay back from our way or both of you will receive severe punishment."
Aaron still didn't back up instead he looked through Mr.Rogers enraged eyes deeply. Just when he pursued his lips to say something, a soft choking voice came from his back,
" I will accept the punishments. Let him go! "
_MARRIOTT CASTLE_
In a while, the sky over Marriott turned exceptionally dark and mysterious as if all evil powers from the world started gathering up over the sky of Marriott. The ocean waves turned wild as if a storm was nearly going to fall over the environment.
Sky roared like a caged beast as wind started blowing randomly through the castle.
Oscar had to postpone his departure as he could ignore everything but the woman inside was still his beloved one.
Jasmine's shrill crying noise echoed in the entire space of MARRIOT sending shiver to anyone who heard this bone piercing pathetic cry. Oscar stood outside gloomily as his back faced the closed door.
Inside the room, Jasmine was battling with her labour pain as if her life was at stake. She gave birth to two beautiful daughters earlier but nothing could be campared to this intolerable pain that she was feeling on after having this baby. She sensed like the pain had turned ten folds more than her two previous birth.
She gasped and panted desperately as her eyes groggily fell over the pink roses that she picked earlier.
Her eyes silently watched the petals turning black and lifeless as soon as she felt another round of intolerable pain.
