Chapter 12 - I Don't Have Any Daughter !
The family of four joined together to have breakfast for the first time after a long time. Esme wanted to sit further away from Aaron but the sharp glare from her husband made her forgetting the idea and obediently took a spot beside him sighing helplessly.
No matter what she tries to do, this man will force her every time that she has understood well till now.
Looking carefully at the dinning table, Esme was some how in disbelief. There were at least fifty types of fruits, juices and some fresh bread but the most important fact that every utensils were maid of gold or bronze.
Long time, she didn't enjoy so much foods. But she never regretted it truthfully. After coming down to live in the human world, she got a lovely family which she had never felt before.
On the another side, she had no idea that this little deed from her made someone angry and doubtful so easily.
From the corner of her eyes, Queen Mother felt dissatisfied when she saw that her previous spot has been taken away by Esme. She felt upset but maintained a perfect smile on her face wisely.
Looking at her disappointed expression, Athena let out a low chuckle before taking a slice of bread stuffing in her mouth to stop laughing out loud.
The atmosphere on the dining table was really stiff and cold. Esme felt very awkward when she faced cold shoulder from Queen Mother. Even Athena didn't intend to talk with her at all.
Does all the vampires have cold attitude?
Esme wondered!!
Later she paid attention eating her breakfast and stretched out her hand to grab the jar of watermelon juice.
As she grabbed the handle, a cold grip stopped her suddenly.
She shifted her gaze confusedly to Aaron and found him frowning hard,
" What are you taking?"
She felt a little nervous and noticed that even the maids were looking at her in an awkward way. She sutured,
" What.. did.. I do?"
Aaron gazed at her mockingly before replying,
" It's not juice. It's blood."
Esme froze and looked at the jar shocked!!!
Indeed the juice color looked much redder than watermelon's color.
She maid a short sound "oh" and took back her hand fearfully.Aaron chuckled at her stunned expression before taking up the jar and drank it all in a gulp.
Disgusting!
He smirked at the fearful girl devilishly!
Esme dared not to lift up her gaze and shifted her attention in eating silently.Even if she was reluctant, Aaron chose some fruits for her personally and insisted her silently to eat that.
Queen Mother watched the interaction between two and got stunned for a moment.
Aaron seemed to care about Esme from the first day after their wedding.
This thought made her depressed!!
No no, she can't loose her face in front of Aaron.
Biting down her lips, she tried to suppress her dissatisfied expression and intended to start a topic.
Thus she spoke with a sweet smile to Esme,
" Esme, this is Athena, Aaron's younger sister.
You haven't met her, right?"
Athena paused and looked at her mother before looking up at Esme's direction.
Esme smiled awkwardly before saying in a low voice,
" H.. Hello."
Athena replied smiling faintly,
" Hello.You can call me by my name."
Esme nodded in understanding. Shortly after, Aaron got up from his chair and made his way outside after getting an urgent information from his subordinate.
In the dinning table, only three of them left. As soon as Aaron left, Queen Mother glanced at Esme coldly before speaking in a casual tone,
" Esme, you are new here. But I want to remind you that your spot isn't here. From tomorrow, you will sit one chair after Aaron's chair."
Esme looked up to see her gaze confused.
It's not like that she was dying to sit here. It was your son who insisted on sitting beside him.
What was her fault though!!
She didn't dare to say something rather nodded her head.
Athena gazed at her mother smiling bitterly.
Ruling others life has been a great pleasure to her mother!!
Later she hurriedly stuffed some food inside her mouth and left the dinning place as soon as possible.
It was getting on her nerves that she was always stared by the queen mother coldly. But as far as she recalled that this queen mother was the one who gave the order to marry her.
Even Aaron had told her several times.
Standing at the open terrace, she gazed around the whole city deeply. She must say that this corridor had the best view of watching the whole city in a glance.Lined houses, dense jungles everything looked like a painted picture.
A smile of bitterness formed on her lips when she saw a young girl holding her mother's hand running in the field happily at a far distance..
Perhaps nobody misses her from her own family.!
Frowning hard in some random thoughts, she looked around carefully before gazing around suspiciously.
DALASTIA WORLD,
( Another world of magical creatures such as fairies, monks, wizards who usually practice white magics and can control the water, air and fire. They are described as holly creatures because of their kind hearted personality and always stands with justice.)
A beautiful, middle aged woman was walking through a flower garden smiling sweetly.The refreshing scent of the flowers were roaming in the air of the whole garden which can lift up anyone's mood in a second.
With her single touch, the flowers from the trees were blooming magically.
Her long white gown embroidered with gold fabric was glittering under the warm sunlight.Her light brown eyes gazed on the flowers happily but there was coldness hiding inside those eyes hard to see.
A man's voice came from behind slightly panting as she paused in her spot for a moment,
" Good Morning, Mother. I.. I got to know that Esme.. Esme has gone missing."
The woman turned away and shot him a hard glare before speaking out,
" That has nothing to do with me."
The man still tried to speak,
" But..."
The woman waved her hand gracefully before looking at his eyes sternly having no bit of sympathy,
" I don't have any daughter, Evan. "
