The doubt on Aaron's eyes increased further as soon as Ethan proposed such an audicious request. He was momentarily stunned and glanced up at Athena who seemed unexpected too. His eyes narrowed further when Athena's expression didn't seem aggrieved.
What was going on exactly? How many things that he was unware of?
Ethan spoke out of his mind and shifted his gaze over the stunned woman who didn't look much happy at his proposal. His gaze darkened at the thought of her engagement. A silent emotion called jealousy quickly engulfed his thoughts. He waited patiently to hear out Aaron's decision but deep inside, he was far more eager to know Athena's thought.
Aaron didn't decide to respond quickly. His confused eyes searched for Athena's unspeakable answer who seemed to live in dillemma. Even Athena was confused with her own bizzare thoughts. So far she couldn't stand on a damn logic of going alone with this unscrupulous man. Furthermore their relationship ended a long time ago, didn't it? Then why was she feeling that Ethan was pushing her on purpose?
Then later unpleasant memories came in to poison her thoughts and instantly she thought that it was all because of Esme. She was the precious sister of him.
A flash of dissapointment appeared and dissapared quickly from her expression. After a long awkward silence, her voice came out slowly,
" All right! I will go with you but you must let me come back whenever you find your sister. Meanwhile we all will continue searching for her."
Ethan looked up at her amusingly. The corner of his lips curved up mysteriously as if he didn't expect her positive answer so fast. Aaron glanced up at his sister smilingly. As long as Athena found her happiness, he had no objections on that.
Clearing his throat awkwardly, Aaron promised confidently,
" As you wish! My sister will live under your observant for the time being. I will continue looking for Esme."
Ethan hummed coldly and reminded warningly,
" If anything bad happens to my sister, forget about getting your sister back ever King Aaron."
Aaron suppressed his laughter and replied with a chuckle lightly,
" Well, I assume that I won't get her back spontaneously."
Ethan only glared at him coldly but didn't rebuke anymore. Looking back at his subordinates, he commanded loudly,
" Continue searching for the princess everywhere across the worlds and someone lead Miss Athena towards our world."
One of the female fairy came across politely and gestured at Athena to follow her footsteps. Athena seemed hesitant and turned around to speak with Aaron,
" Brother, I am leaving. Don't be impatient. You must find sister-in-law soon."
Aaron smiled faintly and assured her with a forced smile. He didn't know about her whereabouts but he was sure that she wouldn't forgive him even if they managed to track her location.
Athena took a deep breath and followed the fairy slowly. Ethan glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and bid farewell to Aaron coldly,
" Hope, we meet soon."
Aaron greeted back politely and the two parties went back to their worlds without making a chaos.
_DALASTIA WORLD_
The chaos among netizens grew stronger as Ethan left with numerous anxieties among them. Until now all of them held their breath in anxiety and waited for Ethan's arrival impatiently. They tried to gather more clues but nothing worked useful.
How could Princess Esme be in Vampire World?
The most shocked person was probably Queen Melinda whose face was darker than ink in shame and anger. She thought that Esme had brought enough shame on her and now was going to destroy Ethan's image in front of everyone again. This assumptions were enough to burn her in fury. She continued passing back and forth anxiously. From time to time, her eyes searched over the sky to see any sign of Ethan's arrival.
Just as they awaited eagerly, the sky started to show up their distant shadows slowly. One by one, the fairies came down and opened a space for Ethan's landing respectively.
Queen Melinda breathed in relief and narrowed her gaze dangerously to look for a certain someone. Ethan descended down with his broadened wings swiftly. His expression was gloomy that worried Evan more.
" Don't assume everything on your own. Since I still haven't found her out, there is no chance of persuading this matter here. It is better to clarity her issues in her presence."
Queen Melinda immediately felt defeated with his sharp words and only looked up at him hatefully. Just when she decided to seek an apologize from the public, Ethan made another announcement,
" We have a temporary guest in our castle. Please take care of her for my sake."
Ethan spoke and pulled the woman beside him who distanced herself further away from him. Athena gasped in astonishment and fell in daze after being the centre of everyone's attention.
Queen Mother narrowed her gaze dangerously and asked,
" This..."
Ethan cut off her curiousity quickly,
" Athena Richards, the younger sister of Vampire King. I have brought her as a pawn of my own sister. Since my sister is missing from their world, she will live under our observation untill we find out Serena."
Athena chewed her bottom lips nervously and greeted everyone with a bow silently. She felt lonely amidst this fairies. Queen Melinda felt a headache coming and muttered unhappily,
" Was it necessary? She is a vampire..how come .."
Ethan didn't let her finish and interrupted harshly,
" I don't need to give you any explanation for my each decisions anymore. Please take care of her during this time and don't dissapoint me with your behavior. "
Queen Melinda's expression turned black in anger and didn't dare to argue with him anymore. Since he had become the king finally, she couldn't make an interruption whenever she wanted.
Though Queen Melinda didn't say anything harsh, Athena could see the unhappiness in her eyes. She sighed and mustered up the courage to inquire Ethan who stood by her side. Lowering her voice down, she whispered softly,
" You are making things difficult purposely. Why did you bring me here?"
Ethan's felt a joy coursing through his heart after hearing her voice. He turned his face sideway and reminded her with a devilish smirk,
" You seem to forget my promise? Why? Are you bewitched by the charm of your fiancee,my love?"
Athena felt her cheeks burning at his ambiguous address. She averted her eyes downwards and murmured back confusingly,
" What promise? I don't remember."
Ethan was a little dissapointed at her forgotten memories. With a sly smirk, he repeated his vow,
" I said that I won't let you go it you appear in front of my sight again. I just followed my promise. Why do you look so unhappy?"
Athena looked up at him astonishingly and saw him smirking from ear to ears. She greeted her teeth harder and blurted out,
" I don't agree to stay here. Let's go back."
Ethan winked and said mischievously,
" Sorry, Times up. Blame your memories."
As the two were immersed in fighting, Ethan didn't notice Linda rushing towards him from back. As soon as she stepped closer, Ethan seemed to notice and turned around to face her.
Linda looked worried as she reported Ethan anxiously,
" Where is Princess Serena? We have lost our connection with her. Something terrible is happening with the witch Enchantress. We have to kill her fast or else I am afraid that it will be too late."
