BXBX NOVEL Chapter 97 - Love Sickness !!!
Siemus nodded comprehensively and looked up at her perturbed face blankly. Shaking her head slightly in distress, Siemus complained in a displeased tone,
" Why are getting panicked my lady? Isn\'t that what you wanted?"
Athena\'s expression dropped before running her fingers through her messy hairs frustrated. She really wanted to forget Ethan totally but now the situation was completely different. After marking Ethan, she couldn\'t marry someone else because eventually on the day of their marriage, her future husband will definitely find it out as she wouldn\'t be able to provide him the unique scent of mating blood.
Seeing her getting over anxious, Siemus asked with doubts,
" My.. My Lady, you seem audibly distressed. Did something happen between you two?"
Athena sighed before rubbing her head annoyingly. Her mind was in mess as she didn\'t find the right way to fix everything. According to Ethan\'s temper, he won\'t break the mating bond between them ever.
She looked up at Siemus and responded whispering,
" I... I...mistakenly marked Ethan..last night..in..pleasure.."
Siemus was startled blurting out fast,
" What.. what did you two? You.. you two have completed the mating bond already? Why didn\'t you inform me first?"
Athena frowned and watched her beaming expression angrily. Rather than being stressed, Siemus appeared happy and excited after hearing out the news of their marking.
Athena shouted over her beaming face,
" Siemus! Tell me the way of breaking our bond. It seems impossible. How can I mark my brother-in-law? Oh gosh.. what sin have I done in my past life?"
Siemus held back her smilie and replied turning her tone serious and reasonable,
" Why don\'t you call off the marriage then? "
Athena paced back and forth clutching the knot of the towel and answered truthfully,
" That\'s impossible too. I have already given my opinion to my brother and mother. My mother won\'t listen to me ever and she won\'t let me tell my brother too. There is only way to solve each problem."
Siemus asked astonishingly,
" What?"
Athena gulped down her saliva nervously and answered,
" I will get married with Zave fast. After that Ethan will definitely agree to break up our mating bond. I can\'t let history repeats itself, Siemus. Moreover Ethan will eventually hate me after finding out everything."
Siemus mumbled reaching to provide her a pair of neat clothes,
" Hopefully Ethan will let you go so easily, Lady. He was so cunning to convince me with his lame excuses that I have eventually become his pet."
Athena didn\'t heed her words clearly and asked instead curiously,
" By the way how did he tame you?"
Siemus frowned hard while handing her over the clothes,
" He somehow figured out my location and directly went over there to meet me. I was so shocked to find him there and thought that something might have happened with you."
Athena asked while putting on the clothes,
" And then?"
Siemus twisted her lips and continued,
" He said that he was sick and probably would die soon. He appeared so pitiful that I trusted his words without checking out on my own. He stated his desire to see you once and pleaded me to be his subordinate before he dies. Later when we arrived at this Palace, I asked him out of curiosity that what incurable disease he was suffering from? "
Athena was little taken back and kept staring at her curiously. Siemus gashed her teeth angrily and responded,
" Only then that cunning Prince replied to me that he was suffering of love sickness. At the end, I had become the dumb one. "
Athena "...."
Meanwhile in,
DALASTIA WORLD,
The air inside the dinning room had turned stiff after Ethan threw his mother a cold glare of question. Queen Melinda\'s smiling face had vanished away fast as she gave Katherine\'s mother an awkward smile. Trying not to infuriate Ethan anymore, she wisely diverted their attentions to somewhere else and asked taking a glance of Katherine\'s blushing cheeks,
" Aahh.. Besty, why don\'t you stay in our castle for a few more days? I have been spending alone time here."
Katherine\'s mother was little taken back after hearing an unexpected answer and replied smiling widely,
" I was thinking about the same Melinda. We all should spend more time together. Isn\'t it? "
She glanced over Ethan and Katherine as Queen Melinda silently caught her meaning before agreeing with her. They both started random chats as Ethan paid attention on his foods only and kept lowering down his gaze.
He didn\'t understand why was he smelling something fishy in this gathering?
Soon after, he got up first halfway of his breakfast and excused himself from the table. A flash of disappointment appeared on Katherine\'s face as she heard him say leaving.
Katherine\'s mother was way more cunning than Melinda. She wasn\'t ready to give up at all thus called out Ethan sweetly,
" Ethan.. Dear.. why don\'t you show Katherine your fighting skills? She will be left alone in the castle. Is it okay to bring her with you if you don\'t feel disturbed?"
Queen Melinda\'s expression dropped drastically as she watched his son in horror. Even she didn\'t dare to ask him to accompany Katherine as she knew his weirdo tempter. He wouldn\'t hesitate to refuse her in front of everyone.
Ethan paused in his tracks abruptly before turning around with a cold face. He blinked before looking over Katherine blankly who had already turned red blushing profusely.
Considering their hostility, he nodded his head reluctantly and replied with awkward smile,
" Sure.. Sure... aunty.."
Katherine\'s mother beamed into a satisfied smile before winking at Melinda victoriously. Melinda was surprised too as she gestured Katherine to tail him off quickly.
Ethan sighed helplessly before heading outside hastily as the girl struggled to match with his paces hardly.
As he walked outside, his mind subconsciously replayed the face of Athena from last night as he felt depressed to meet her more and more.
Why is it so troublesome to fall in love? She is always in my mind!
MOONSHINE CASTLE,
The first ray of sunlight shone in the radiant sky welcoming a warm day as the girl over the head was still sleeping soundly. She had been sleeping on her back naked under the blanket and hugged the side pillow tightly in her embrace.
As a row of birds chirped nearby the tree beside her open window, her sleeping was disrupted as she frowned hard still closing her eyes shut.
Her movements were slow and lazy as she stretched out her hands in the air yawning leisurely. But the next moment, she let out a low growl as the pain on her lower abdomen was still so sore that it was difficult to move a little.
Opening her eyes groggily, she looked outside only to be found that it was already early in the morning. Last night, she couldn\'t even remember that when did she faint and fell asleep. In her state of daze, she vaguely remembered that someone had wiped off her wet body and tugged her under the warm blanket.
Holding her sore waist, she shifted her eyes beside him and the man was long gone.
He was sick already. Where did he go early in the morning?
Looking down, she spotted their ripped clothes that had turned into mess and reminded her their wild acts from last night. Frowning hard in displeasure after not seeing Aaron, she got up from the bed slowly before heading for a warm shower. The lukewarm water had helped her to subside the pains a lot as she felt better.
While wiping off her soaked hairs, she located a bottle of unknown medicine over the dresser.Curiously she walked over there and picked up the bottle before turning crimson in embarrassment.
Aaron had prepared a medicine to subside her sore and put it on the table with a side note. Feeling warm wholeheartedly, she drank the medicine as per his instruction and thought of finding him outside.
He needed a bed rest for a day at least !
Changing her clothes into a presentable one, she decided to head outside before Viviana called her from outdoor.
Esme smiled before giving her the permission,
" Come in Viviana."
Viviana entered holding a present in her hand that was wrapped in a red box along with a bunch of flowers. Esme frowned slightly and asked as Viviana put down the gifts and flowers on the side table,
" What\'s all of this?
Did your Lord get a present? "
Viviana nodded before responding briefly,
" Yes, my lady. But you got presents too. This gifts were all sent by the Warrens."
Esme\'s expression changed into a dull one before giving Viviana the order to go outside. After her departure, Esme quickly unwrapped the gifts that had logo on her name.
As soon as it was opened completely, her anticipation turned true and saw that Ron had sent her a letter.
Making sure that the door was locked properly, she opened the letter hastily.
The first line shocked her dramatically as she read,
" Ayra and Anna both are with me.Ayra is crying to meet you."
