Chapter 146 - Mother-Daughter Reunion
The entire hill was engulfed with a dense silence after hearing out a familiar voice from back. Feeling numb and frozen all over his body, Ester managed to look back with his peripheral eyes. The moment his eyes spotted the figure standing with all might behind, his breathing stopped as if someone had stabbed in his chest deeply.
On the other side, Esme was descended down from the sky after having a quick flying from moonshine to here. Her white swan wings were broadened apart hanging on her back like an invisible throne. Her green eyes were fired as if it would engulfing lava anytime in order to burn Ester. Her silver worned gown was sparkling under the hem of moonlight naturally. She kept staring at Ester's hand which was already midway to hurt Ayra.
Ester couldn't believe his own eyes and ears after what had he seen.
Where was Esme? Shouldn't she live in human world like a coward human? Her wings? How did she break her seal? Why didn't he know about it?
Ester's conscious was flodded with numerous assumptions as he kept looking at Esme astounding. On the flip side, Jeremy was jerked off after finding Esme over there and hung his head down in fear. Even the other guards started whispering among themselves and soon after bowed down their heads respectively.
No matter whom they worked for, Esme was the royal princess of their world that couldn't be put down at any cost. Especially after watching that her powers had been returned, they had to show their respect towards the magnificent princess who had equal powers like a prince. Even some high fairies suggested once to give her the throne but she denied it politely for sake of her bothers.
Ayra blinked disbelievingly untill her round eyes teared up on verge of crying. Sniffing her nose, her tiny figure made her way running towards Esme calling out desperately,
" Mommy...Mommy...."
Esme was startled after hearing out the familiar tongue after a long time. Her raged eyes quickly melted like water as soon as it spotted the running figure coming on her way. Scrunching down, she quickly grabbed the running beauty before pulling her up in her arms. Showering her tiny face with several kisses, she coaxed Ayra warmly,
" Oh baby!! Don't cry anymore. Mommy is here. No one will scare you anymore. "
Ayra sniffed and buried her head into Esme's neck deeply murmuring,
" Where did you go, Mommy? I thought that Mommy doesn't want Ayra anymore. Sob..sob.. I thought that you have left me."
Esme felt like countless prickles stabbing in her heart once her crying tongue travelled in her ears. Patting over Ayra's head affectionately, Esme responded struggling with her tears,
" Hush!!! Don't cry anymore.Mommy will never leave you, you should always remember that. Mommy has her own reasons to stay away. "
Ayra hummed coldy with understanding and hugged her neck more tightly. Looking up at the doorway, Esme found Anna and Ron who were smiling at her profoundly. Anna couldn't hold back her tears anymore after watching this mother daughter reunion. She cried silently and wandered that how longer she kept lying Ayra about Esme's arrival. Finally their good day was beginning.
Shifting her eyes over Ester, she heard his tone of mockery,
" Oh, the slut has finally regained her powers. What a terrible disaster!! You think that you have the right to safe this child? She must die. A cursed child isn't acceptable in our clan. Serena, give her to me."
Esme's eyes once again darkened in rage as she whispered to Ayra softly,
" Go to aunty Carol for a while, baby. Mommy has something to do."
She spoke softly before passing her over to Carol who stood just beside her. Growling back angrily, Esme responded stepping ahead dangerously,
" I think that you know better who is real slut, don't you, stepbrother? You have terminashed my reputation once, caused me to loose my powers and dared to harm my baby again? "
Ester was startled and stumbled a step back before gazing at her way viciously. He knew that Esme had far more powers than him but he couldn't become a coward in front of others.
Turning his face towards the bowing guards, his anger had reached at its peak. Ester shouted gritting his teeth together,
" You bastards!! Who are you bowing to? I am your master.She is a banned slut. What are you doing standing over there? Grab her!!!"
The gaurds were all startled after hearing out his roaring tongue and looked at each others hesitantly.
How could they dare to hurt Princess Serena in presence of others?
Ron couldn't stand to see silently anymore as he charged forward without wasting anymore time. Moving beside Esme who was slowly proceeding towards Ester, Ron challenged letting out a beastly snarl,
" I dare you to touch her once in presence of mine."
Esme paused before looking back at Ron with gratitude. She was blessed to have a true friend like Ron who didn't hesitate to stand with her in danger.
Swallowing down, the guards were unmoved in their spots and retreated back slowly.No matter what happens, they couldn't attack a royal member foolishly. Jeremy took this opportunity to escape away from there as he quickly joined with the guards in order to save his own life.
Glancing back at them, Ester was furious as he had no one to stand by his sound. Letting out a cracking sound, Ester shouted towards his guards furiously,
" Cowards! I will kill each one of you single handedly. "
Ester shouted hysterically before gazing up at Esme who was coming on his way. Sneering coldly,
Ester shouted towards Esme,
" You will always remain a slut. No one will ever accept you as a princess. "
Ester commented desperatly before summoning one of his spell to harm Esme. Esme halted in her tracks before noticing the yellow circles in Ester's palm. Ron quickly reached to shield her but was stopped midway once Esme gestured him to stop.
Turning her face sideway, Esme spoke gently,
" Ron,you have already done enough for me. Let me handle him on my own. "
Ron retreated back reluctantly and watched Esme's bold appearance like seven years ago.
Smiling with gratitude, her green eyes showed a danger sign as she continued charging forward enthusiastically. Without showing an ounce of fear in front of his magic ball, Esme paused midway before stretching out two of her palms separately.
Soon after, an iron chain glimmering like jewels appeared on her hands suddenly. Her lips curved up into a knowing smirk as she challenged Ester with authority. On the contrary, Ester's eyes widened apart as soon as he spotted the magical chain in her arms. It was one kind of invaluable treasure that could be achieved if the fairy had completed each missions to please their goddess. He never imagined that Esme's power could be so strong like a high fairy.
Staggering a little bit, Ester mumbled with his widening eyes,
" No..It can't be possible..You..you aren't Serena..You must be a imposter... Serena can't never have this power..no.."
Esme sneered coldly clasping the chain more tightly that her veins were appeared out outside,
" Why Ester?? Did you forget that what had I said to you? Remember?"
Ester's breathing hitched as he remembered her last words before landing down on human world.
I will pay you back everything with ten folds Ester even if you hide under the water or into the depth of earth.No one can save you once I get my powers of killing you. I can forgive you for ruining my reputation but I will never forgive you for harming a little child.
Her words reverberated in his ears as he felt an extrem danger approaching on his way.
MOONSHINE CASTLE,
After the argument with old Lord, Aaron understood that he had successfully angered his uncle but he had no way out.He couldn't think about his life without Esme by his side.Gradually she had turned an inveitable part in her life that couldn't be cut off in any cost.
After the old Lord left the castle furiously, Aaron's mood was worsened as he made his way towards his bedroom. Pushing open the doorway, his eyes fell upon the empty bed naturally. Knitting his brows together lightly, he entered the room before wandering around to find Esme. After calling her name few times, he heard no response as his heart pounded vigorously in fear.
His suspension grew stronger as Carol wasn't present over the doorway too. Heading outside, he shouted all the way calling out her names loudly towards downstairs. Reaching down, he shouted so loudly that all the maids had come outside hurriedly.
Watching his raged eyes, they were frightened to death and stood at a corner trembling. Aaron asked impatiently ,
" Where did your Lady go? Have you seen her? "
The maids all were dumbfounded before shaking their heads nervously. Aaron's expression sank immediately feeling the breath inside his lungs were stuck. Breathing restlessly, he managed to call out Jasper's name loudly. Jasper quickly strolled down from upstairs and appeared in front of him immediately.
Bowing his head down, he asked glancing at the frightened maids nervously,
" My Lord, what.. what happened?"
Aaron breathed rapidly and replied holding back the heartache,
" Esme..Esme..is..gone.. Jasper.. Find her from anywhere.."
Jasper was shocked and looked up at him disbelievingly. Before he could give Aaron a reply, Aaron's tongue threatened him dangerously,
" Find her fast or else I will burn the entire castle, Jasper. She can't leave me."
