Chapter 225 - The Coronation Ceremony Part 3



Esme continued staring at the man like a dream. Her eyes never stopped shedding tears. Those blue eyes reflected the face of that old man who stood on the opposite with complicated thoughts. Between this complex feelings, one could see the warmth under his astonishing eyes.

Esme\'s throat dried unable to speak for a long time and inspected the man from head to toe. King Henry didn\'t change much in all this years except his face wrinkled a bit. His appearance no longer seemed dominant as Esme had always seen. Instead he looked calm and reservant in his white loose robe.

King Henry stepped closer when Esme didn\'t approach him for a while. He smiled weakly and called her out affectionately,

" Serena.."

Esme jolted feeling electrocuted and looked up at the man with her tearful eyes. The next moment, all her emotions had turned into a tight hug which he didn\'t expect. Esme sniffed one more time and threw herself on her father\'s arms. King Henry was unprepared at fast but managed to hold her weight cautiously. His old eyes teared up when he sensed that she was no longer the little girl whom he used to carry up in his arms.

Esme brust into tears without uttering a single word and cried in his arms desperately. After a long time, she sniffed feeling his hand coaxing on her back,

" Where did you go? Father? Why didn\'t you ever return to us? Why did you abandon us? Why? Why?"

King Henry didn\'t respond immediately as he knew that he was in fault. He sighed deeply and ran his fingers through her messy hairs. After a moment of silence, he whispered painfully,

" Father had no choice But to leave all of you."

Esme wasn\'t ready to hear his excuses. She sobbed harder and blurted out angrily,

" If you were unhappy with mother, why didn\'t you ever go to meet with us? Why didn\'t you ever inform us that where you are staying?"

King Henry fell silent for a while. His answer was only long sigh of helplessness. He knew that he had done wrong on his children but he couldn\'t take the pain anymore. Watching the distance devolping inside his family, he couldn\'t tolerate the pain anymore and decided to leave. Sometimes walking away is the best solution. Thus he chose to be toughed and walked away carrying all those heart wrenching pains.

King Henry ignored those turbulent feelings and coaxed his crying daughter softly,

" Don\'t cry anymore! Come and have something to eat. You seem weak. We can talk about everything later."

Esme stopped crying immediately and looked up at the man who seemed a mystery with numerous thoughts. Before she could ask anything, he tugged her further and led her towards the opposite way through the flower covered path slowly.

_VAMPIRE WORLD_

" Are you sure that you have seen her going through this way?", Aaron asked with anxiety. His eyes darkened fearfully at the anticipation and waited for the old woman to speak. The old woman nodded again truthfully and told that she had seen a girl walking towards the forest of REISAN HALLOW an hour ago.

Aaron\'s stomach tightened into a knot as if his whole world was collapsing. He knew that how terrible Reisan Hallow was. If Esme decided to jump inside the cave, did she manage to stay alive? Why did she need to jump in? Did she want to die with their children? 

Aaron\'s vision blurred at this thoughts. His knees weakened before dropping over the ground with a thud. Jasper gasped and quickly leant to hold him tightly. Aaron murmured miserably,

" Esme..she..why..did you do that..I will jump inside the Hallow too.. Wait for me.."

Aaron murmured absentmindedly and attempted to haul up weakly. Jasper panicked holding his arms and tried to coax him anxiously,

" Milord, Please don\'t act recklessly. She might be wandering nearby. Why would she jump inside REISAN HALLOW? Please, I beg you. Don\'t do anything impulsively."

Aaron was deaf at his words and groaned impatiently,

" She..she might have jumped off to punish me, Jasper. I am in fault at everything. She wanted to see me pain. I,no longer deserve to live in this world. I caused her to death because of my selfish motives. Let me go Jasper."

Aaron shouted struggling to break free from Jasper\'s hold desperately. He also wanted to follow her inside the Hallow in this hope that if death could make them one.

Viviana gave him a sympathetic look and gestured at Jasper to say something. When Aaron acted desperate to rush towards the Hallow, Jasper suddenly knocked him out from back in order to stop him from going. As he fainted falling on his arms, Jasper murmured apologizotically,

" Pardon me, Milord. But it was for your own good. We can\'t see you dying just like that."

Viviana looked up into the darkeness away and murmured confidently,

" I am sure that Lady is somewhere there. She won\'t harm her babies just like that."

|| WHITE CASTLE, DALASTIA ll

Athena didn\'t know what danger she was put in. After Ethan passed his strict order, she could only sigh and obey his command. Soon after, a maid was sent inside her room carrying a palate which was covered with red velvet cloth. 

Athena furrowed at the sight. Before she could inquire about the staff, the maid bowed showing her utmost respect and reported,

" Princess, this gown was prepared by the king. He is expecting you to see in the Coronation Ceremony with this worned attire."

Athena felt another headache coming soon. She dismissed the maid waving her hands and sat down beside the plate absentmindedly. Her thoughts were bizarre this time. She didn\'t know whether she was ready to give a try in this relationship. After all, he was the new elected king and could be defamed by the netizens if he proceeded towards a relationship with his sister-in-law.

Katherine exploded in anger as soon as she saw a maid going inside Athena\'s room. Her fists were clenched aside tightly in rage. She couldn\'t wait to tear apart Athena\'s face into faces.

Why was her luck so poor? 

It was only a few days back, Ethan agreed on this marriage. Why did this woman had to show up in his life again?

Fortunately she was suspecting them since they arrived together. She wanted to observe Athena closely and followed her in. On her way, she discovered Ethan who entered in her room without knocking beforehand as if they were lovers. 

Who knew that her suspension would turn out true? If Ethan wasn\'t in hurry for the ceremony, she assumed that he would have done something more ambiguous.

This all thoughts were enough to burn her in fury. Katherine stomped on her feet and stormed towards her Mother\'s room.

She entered and found her mother humming a song cheerfully. Obviously she was super happy after knowing that Ethan had won the battle.

Katherine\'s mother looked up at her worryingly and asked nervously,

" Sweety, what\'s wrong? "

Katherine could hold back her anger anymore and immediately brust out like volcano,

" Mother, you are singing here. Your daughter\'s position is at stake. That.. that bitch.. She must have seduced brother Ethan. You know what? I have heard them being clingy inside the room."

Katherine\'s mother instantly looked gloomy. She frowned harder and walked to her side slowly. Patting on her shoulder, she sneered disdainfully,

" Indeed Vampires are just trick slut. She might have bewitched him with her beauty. Who could endure such handsome young king beside her?"

She paused and continued looking up at Katherine assuringly,

" But you don\'t worry, sweety. We have Melinda on our side. She promised to me that your marriage with Ethan would be announced on the Coronation Ceremony which is going to hold now. Let\'s wait for the precious moment. Once Melinda annouces this marriage, I will definitely force Ethan to marry you at any cost."

Katherine looked determined by her mother\'s word. She bite down her lips and spoke with confident while fisting her clothes secretly,

" Mother, even if Queen Melinda backs up at the end, I will play my triumph card. Do or die! "

Katherine\'s mother didn\'t know what did she mean exactly but her expression turned completed. After all, Ethan was never obedient to his mother\'s command.
