The whole courtroom was stunned after hearing out Esme's powerful words. Even though she said everything very calmly but the depth of her words were chilling. The way, she kept staring at the minister who dared to humiliate her in front of others, the minister felt like his bone freezing under her stern gaze.
His spirit subconsciously lowered down after being reminded by Esme that she was their respected Queen above all. Even Carol watched Esme very proudly and knew that this was her true self that had been hiding from the world so far. She wasn't not a only a queen but also a princess of her clan. Thus possessing the aura of leadership was in her blood naturally.
The other ministers couldn't help but softened their gazes subconsciously. On the contrary, Mr.Dawson kept growling in pain as he felt his bones cracking into pieces. But the raged man ahead of him held a blank face as if he didn't care a bit about his pain and begging.
Aaron only kept his finger in his fist and used his extreme strength to break it into pieces. Even though he was left with half soul powers, it was still enough to punish a mere vampire. This was the power of a true blooded vampire who couldn't be defeated so easily.
Watching the man still groaning in pain, the other minister that had white hair shifted further away from his spot and maintained a safe distance frightening that Aaron could attack him next.
Esme felt sweet and hurt at the same time after watching Aaron's protective nature on her. He didn't mind to offend so many prominent figures because of her. Unfortunately she couldn't do anything to repay him back. Instead she felt that she became a burden for Aaron who had to face such humiliation only for being with her.
Watching that Aaron had no intention of stopping, Esme took a deep breathe before calling him out gently,
" My Lord, leave him. It's not worth it."
Aaron heard her voice from back and subconsciously loosened his grip before shooting the minister a death glare that silently asserted that it could have been his last day of life if Esme didn't stop him.
Sneering coldly, Aaron turned around before walking over Esme who stood in front of the throne domineeringly. After Aaron returned to her side, she gave him a soft smile of assuring before gazing across the room sharply.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKnowing that everyone was expecting an explanation from her, Esme didn't delay further and cleared her throat dryly.
Facing the crowd boldly, her spirit didn't low down a bit and felt more encouraged. She spoke loudly towards the crowd,
" Pardon my sudden interruption, ministers. I didn't had the intention of interfering here until our marital life was dragged in. I know that you all are feeling disappointed after the news of Enchantress's sudden disappearance. We have provided our best troops to find that witch but still they aren't capable enough. It's not the fault of your Lord because he has given his best to look for her. Can you please tell me that when didn't he appear in the court after our marriage? Did he avoid any meeting or court date? "
The ministers all looked at each others but couldn't find an answer to rebuke as indeed Aaron never showed any sign of reluctance towards his tasks. Indeed they all had assumed everything on their own way.
Watching them falling in dense silence, Esme sneered coldly before continuing in a sharp tongue,
" If he hasn't done any of it, then how can you say that he has ignored his duties? Who gave you the courage of insulting his abilities in front of everyone? If any one of you was so capable more than him, then why couldn't you take the throne earlier from him? Right now after he proved his abilities to be the king of yours, you are acting that all he has done for his own selfish desires?"
Aaron was stunned after hearing out her sharp words and couldn't help but smiling in disbelief. He didn't know that his wife could be so fierce after regaining her powers. Looking ahead, he found that all the ministers had a grimace face as if they were scratching their heads to come up with an answer.
But Esme didn't give them any chance of rebuking back. She continued looking down at another minister who had found the mysterious corpse fast.
Her gaze darkened before resuming her words coldly,
" According to my knowledge, this minister had found the powerless corpse fast in his city. Then why don't you accuse him too? Obviously he couldn't manage to protect his city well thus such an unexpected accident occurred. Shouldn't you all accuse him too? After all, I heard from the maids that you ministers have a magnificent record for being the best lead men in the history of Vampires. "
The ministers were all left with no words as if they were struggling to hide their faces or wished that they could dig a hole to hide in. Esme's words were too logical and reasonable that they couldn't find anything to prove her statement wrong.
Inhaling a deep breathe, Esme was convinced that the ministers had finally came back to their sense. Thus she softened her tongue a little before speaking further,
" Don't judge anyone according to anyone's perspective of view. After all, you all know your Lord very well more than any outsiders. He needs all of you just the way you need him. I hope that you all will think first before pointing at his mistakes."
Mr.Dawson was still wailing in pain as he couldn't dare to lift up his gaze sensing that everyone was looking at him hatefully.
After being taught by Esme that they had indeed behaved too bad, the other young minister Mr.Collins spoke first on behalf of others. He hauled up from his spot gently and gave them an apologetic bow while saying,
" Pardon our behaviour, my queen. We indeed thought too much without looking through the matter seriously. It is our fault that we haven't found out Enchantress's whereabouts till now. Rather than accusing our Lord unnecessarily, we should work together to find her out as soon as possible before she can harm others."
Esme breathed a sigh of relief and nodded her head approving affirmatively. Aaron watched her admiring quietly as he couldn't help but feeling damn proud of his beloved wife.
At that certain moment, another trouble was still unresolved that came in Mr.Collins mind. He once again talked with respect,
" Apologise my words, Lady and Lord. But indeed, it has became a sudden question regarding the heir of our clan. We indeed owe an explanation from you two."
Esme's face sank as she knew that it was indeed difficult to answer them. As human or fairy, she couldn't bore a child for the vampire clan. Furthermore she had to leave Aaron today or tomorrow.
Aaron's expression turned stiff as he felt himself suffocating in pain. Whether Esme could bore a boy as an heir for the clan or not, he desperately needed a child to tie her by his side. Because once she gets to know everything, things won't be the same or perhaps she would chose to leave him.
But if they had a child, she would try to stick by his side for the sake of their child. Thus Aaron was in urgency to make her pregnant fast and knew that they didn't had so much time. He only had few days in his hand before the new moon. After that, he must take a decision regarding their relationship.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSighing softly, he parted his lips to say that Esme will definitely bore a child for their clan. Unfortunately his words were left incomplete as Esme chose to answer first.
After sensing so much heartache, Esme replied expressionlessly,
" I can understand your concern, minister. Well, I can't say that I will definitely give birth to a child as an heir according to my instinct. It is not in my hands after all. But I have another opinion on that."
Mr Collins looked up at her face blankly including Aaron who was trying to predict her answer.
Is she willing to give birth my child?
Aaron wandered in his mind and couldn't help but predict their happy future inwardly.
But the next moment, Esme confessed something else that he never imagined in his mind. Keeping her eyes stuck over the crowd, Esme declared confidently,
" I, Esme Watts as a queen of yours promise that if I can't bore a child for the clan in the future, I will permit the Lord to get married again. You are free to choose your eligible Queen next. Also I will be disbanding the mark of him too. There won't be any objections from my side. "
Esme finished her words and felt that a large stone had put on her heart suddenly. The heart wrenching pain was too much for her to bear as she struggled to hold back her tears hardly.
On the flip side, Aaron couldn't believe his own ears as he kept staring at Esme in disbelief.
Seems like, she always had the thought of leaving her..
A bitter smile formed on his lips when no one noticed after being shocked hearing out her statement.
