After reconfirming that the new spell could prove Katherine's child biological existence, Athena didn't waste a single moment. Followed by Ethan and Siemus, she rushed towards the way of Katherine's living room.
Inside Katherine was sharpening her fingernails with a cutter gladly over the bed. She was still enjoying the privilege that she received for carrying the heir of Chole Family. One of the maid was massaging her ankles lightly and sometimes got scolded for being harsh. The maid found her annoying badly but as a mere staff, she had to bite her tongue out and endure each tantrums that she threw. Katherine's Mother was also there who was having fruits from her daughter's plate.
It wasn't bad to lie since they were having so much pampering from the side of Queen Melinda!
The doorroom was brust open with a loud thud startling the persons staying inside. Looking up at the doorway coldly, Katherine's expression paled dramatically when she discovered the person over there. She saw Athena standing straight with an enraged expression.
Katherine immediately growled like an hungry beast,
" Bitch.. how dare you come here..Get out.."
She almost shouted from the top of her lungs and crunched the blanket onto her fiercely. Katherine's Mother shot them a knife life glare and intended to pick up a fight. But she was left with no choice when Athena with others walked in bravely without their permission.
Athena paused aside of her bed and commanded coldly,
" Come with us now."
Katherine shivered at the velocity of her icy voice. But she preferred to stay stubborn since she could use the child as a pawn to manipulate them. Katherine growled disobediently and looked behind at Ethan who seemed have no say on Athena's attitude towards her,
" Brother.. Brother Ethan..How can you let her treat me so rudely? Look at her behavior! She is already taking preveilege of your affection. How can she order me like you? You must take my side today. I am pregnant with your child and can't move around vigorously. Why is she acting like a crazy beast?"
Katherine paused midway abruptly and added with mockery,
" It's not my fault that I got pregnant by you so easily. She seems to sleep with you everyday brother Ethan but still no signs of pregnancy yet. She must be jealous of me, hmph."
Athena was literally speechless. She never met someone like Katherine before who could act so skillfully. She not only framed Ethan but also used the innocent child to dominant others in each incidents. Siemus lost her patience towards the woman and stepped ahead to strangle her tongue fiercely.
Just as she took a step towards her, Athena grabbed her arms from back and warned,
" Not now! If we harm her before the spell works out, she may put unreasonable accusations on us. Step aside and let me handle it."
Siemus nodded before retreating backwards slowly. Her eyes fell on Katherine's grumpy face fiercely and wished that she could slap her so hard that she lost her abilities of talking nonsense any longer.
When Katherine looked up again at Athena provokingly, her expression sank upon seeing a cringy smirk playing on Athena's lips. Athena smiled lightly, her eyes were sparkling like water brightly as she said dramatically,
" According to your lecture, you have been very proud of being pregnant with just one night stand. Then let me answer of your questions. Even I fall pregnant accidentally fast, I won't ever have to fight for my child's heritage even if I don't marry Ethan. You know why?"
Katherine went silent and waited to hear the rest of her words. Athena resumed getting closer towards her body dangerously,
" Simply because he believes that I will carry only his child. I don't have to go around and shout like a bitch telling people that I am carrying his child. Now get up and follow us towards the hallway unless you have a wish to be dragged outside."
Katherine cried out loudly and looked up at Ethan with hopes in her eyes,
" Brother Ethan.. What is the meaning of all this? At least you shouldn't force me..I am carrying your.."
Athena interrupted midway using a harsh and dominant voice loudly,
" Another time, you say that you are carrying his child, I will rip off your tongue, Katherine. Don't provoke me unnecessarily. Just follow us outside."
Katherine's face deadpanned after being threatened and insulted by Athena same time. She glanced at her mother to seek for help who gave her a sign of approval. Since Ethan wasn't taking their side at any cost, there was no point of arguing with Athena anymore.
Gritting her teeth together, Katherine get off from the bed ready to follow them outside. Athena huffed angrily and headed outside with Ethan.
While making their way towards the hallroom, Ethan commented pinching on Athena's arms playfully,
" My baby is so fiesty today. Should I give her reward for making me a proud Daddy?"
Athena almost puked blood upon hearing such cheesy words. She rolled her eyes back annoyingly and replied with a growl,
" You sound like those perverted man more than a noble king. Seriously? Daddy?"
Siemus blushed shyly after hearing the couple's interaction. No matter how many safe distance that she kept from their, they were still being loud. Ethan smirked cunningly at her and whispered in her ears,
Athena blushed before pushing him off harshly. Though she cursed him badly, there was a happy smile forming at the corner of her lips. Katherine watched them blankly from back. Her jealousy grew two times stronger than before so hardly that she kept clenching her fists.
After few moments of walking, they finally arrived at the hallway of White Castle where Queen Melinda and a member from higher fairies were present from earlier. They had been summoned by Ethan urgently telling that he discovered a way of proving the child's biological father.
The member bowed at Ethan after he entered and waited for him to speak. Ethan signalled at Athena to speak first since she was the one who would perfom the spell.
Athena greeted them politely and kept her speech short and vivid,
" Since you two are present here, I would like to explain the reasons first before going forward. This new spell was discovered by me a long time ago. Since I had no reason to use it on anyone, I stopped researching midway. This spell can identify those natural elements that exists in a fiary. Very commonly, the first born from a male fairy carries all the elements that his father had except different cases. Yesterday I have verified Ethan's body one more time and discovered that Ethan's body could endure the heat of fire. Even Ethan has assured me telling that except him, no one has such capabilities of enduring heat in Dalastia world not even Esme who has the power of using fire as her magical force only. Thus I have found a way to prove Miss Katherine's child father. As the first born from Ethan, her child should be capable of enduring heat. Even another research of mine says that the fairy who carries such child also posses the same power during her pregnancy."
Athena paused, glanced back at Katherine's whose face already turned dead pale and continued,
" So I am saying that Miss Katherine should be able to endure the heat of fire. Isn't it, Miss Katherine? Please come here."
Katherine's legs trembled violently upon hearing her words. There was no way that she could endure the heat of fire. Melinda also shot her a suspicious glare since she didn't move from her spot.
Just as Katherine opened her lips to say something, Athena's eyes fired up. She charged forward with her vampiric speed fast, grabbed a torch from wall and dropped it down on Katherine's gown in a blink.
Melinda gasped in astonishment and watched the scene in terror. Before Katherine could react anything, the burning heat started to travel upwards towards her skin. She shuddered before screamed out loud in fear.
Looking down at the fire, she immediately let go of her evil ideas since her life was at stake. She howled and begged desperately,
" Brother Ethan.. Please stop this fire.. Please.. Please..I am wrong..I am wrong..This child isn't yours..I can't endure the fire..Aaahh... Please make it stop..This child doesn't belong to you...I have accidentally slept with a guard.. Please make it stop.. Please..."
Everyone was stunned including Athena who didn't expect her to spit out truth so easily. She tugged on Ethan's sleeves to lit off the fire who compelled obediently.
Ethan looked up at his astounded mother and the member calmly saying,
" I think that I don't have to explain anything more."
Katherine howled pitifully on the floor and hauled up from the ground stumbling on her feet. She staggered on Athena's way lightly and started to curse her viciously,
" Why must you do this with me? Why couldn't you Just stay quiet? You have already the status of Princess. Why must you fight for the same man that I love? Why must you interfere between us? Why..you..you are no better than me...You have slept with his brother first.. then him.. now.. You are such a cheap slut.."
" Aaahh! " , Katherine cried out in pain holding her cheeks shakingly. Her tearful eyes shot up to look Athena who looked mad insanely.
Boiling in rage and anger, Athena emphasized each words loudly,
" I am not same like you. Edward and I were legally married to each others and Ayra is the legal daughter of this familiy, Katherine. Talking about the interruption between your affair,get the facts right. Ethan and I know each others for a long time and share affection even before you appeared in this castle. So logically speaking, you were meddling in my affair in reality. How dare you put your nasty blames on me?"
Katherine felt an invisible slap on her cheeks again. She didn't expect to be screwed so badly by Athena. Just when she attempted to jump on Athens madly, Queen Melinda quickly gave order to her men,
" Get her now! She deserves to be imprisoned for eternity."
As Katherine was dragging out from the hallway, Ethan seized this opportunity of coaxing his woman. He picked up the hand which she used to slap Katherine and rubbed it gently. Looking concerned, he asked hoarsely,
" Does it hurt,honey?"
Athena "..."
Come on, she just slapped her!
Before they could chat further, Esme ran inside the hallway in rush. She glanced between Athena and Ethan while saying anxiously,
" Somethings bad cropped up. I need your help. I don't know what to do."
