There were numerous whispers and eyes surrounded around Athena and her carriage but at that moment,her ears were only reverberating those shocking words said by the lady in front. 

Just by having a mere physical contact with her, Athena detected that this old lady was just an average human who was probably taken by any of their ancestor earlier in this world. Rumours said that this average humans had also special powers as other living creatures. Some had achieved it through performing prohibited magics or some had achieved by the blessing of goddess from heaven. Still their origin had long been an unrevealed mystery.

Athena was so shocked that she forgot to inquire further and fell into the ocean of dillemma. A light of hope suddenly aroused from her heart which was slowly spreading throughout her expression.

Sucking a deep breath,she ignored the noisy audience completely and clutched the old woman\'s arms suddenly. The old woman flinched before looking through her pain strained eyes which showed how broken enternally she was. Thus she didn\'t mind Athena\'s behavior and heard her say in a husky voice,

" What.. what did you say, aunty? My.. my child.. Have you seen her? Have you? How..how do you know about me?"

The old woman smiled faintly but her smile had a vague mysterious flicker which was unable to touch out. She opened her mouth to answer Athena but at that moment, Zave\'s guards had caught the sight of the lady.

Because of Zave\'s strict command of guarding Athena, they charged on her way immediately to drag out the lady forcefully. Without hearing out Athena\'s opinion,two of the guards suddenly groped the old lady\'s arms from back and forced her to drift apart.

Athena jerked off immediately before shouting out,

" What are you doing? Let her go! She hasn\'t done anything to me. I need to speak to her, damn it!"

Athena\'s tongue was anxious as she couldn\'t let go of this lady after hearing out this shocking news. But the two guards were unresponsive towards her order as they only served Zave and didn\'t had the right of listening to anyone\'s command.

One of the guard tilted his head back and apologised sincerely while dragging the old lady away,

" I am sorry, Princess.We aren\'t obliged to follow your order. Master Zave has ordered us to keep you away from outsiders. Please follow him inside."

Athena wanted to fight back instantly but the old lady shouted loudly in her shaking tongue,

" Don\'t worry about me,Lady. You will find her soon. I can\'t say more. Keep searching for her among your close people. She is safe and alive."

Athena\'s breathing hitched as she heard her words deeply. Others didn\'t get the meaning behind her words and had thought her as an insane woman. But Athena could feel the confidence and sincerity behind her words as her heart pounded faster than usual. 

Taking long and erratic breathing,she murmured lowly,

" My.. my child..how can be she alive? I watched her dying.. Can..can..it be Edward has done something before leaving this world??? "

Her gaze turned blurry due to hyper tension as she held her forehead groggily. Blinking abruptly, she sutured in a painful tone while reminiscing the last words spoken by Edward,

" I kept your words, remember!"

" You will save our child, promise me Edward."

This promises were buzzing in her head repeatedly causing her to enrise a fierce from the core of her heart. Not all promises are made to be broken,some could be fulfilled from a far away as long as your feelings are real.

At that precise moment, Athena had only one line for Edward before facing a world of darkness slowly,

" You have proved your love even after dying. If there is another life,let me be your last love."

_MOONSHINE CASTLE_

The room had weeping silence for a few moments as the shallow breathing shared by two people could be heard during this silence. Aaron took another deep breath to stable his state of mind and had a complicated expression flashing on his face as if he was standing between death and alive.

On the contrary, Esme waited for an eternity to hear his words but nothing came out. But she didn\'t pressure him and endured patiently. Staying by his side for a long time,she could read the battles coursing through his heart right now.

Aaron tilted his head up and analyzed the perturbed woman deeply. Stretching out his palm, he clasped her soft hand shakingly before groping it hard. Endulging his all love and fearness through this heartwarming touch, he spoke like a whisper too afraid to loose her,

" Can you promise that you won\'t ever leave me in this life? I promise to keep you happy always."

He was still holding her palm and continued staring at her face pleadingly. The man who could gather up the entire population in a single command was now pleading a woman to stay by his side. Every person is bound to have a weakness in his life no matter who he is.

Esme was stunned before looking away abruptly. Her body jerked a little enough to feel thus Aaron\'s expression dropped dramatically. He could feel the uneasiness coursing through her body as his heart dived into the depth of ocean immediately.

After everything happened,she was still willing to leave him? 

The air between them turned stiff in a brief moment as the pressure increased the more when Esme couldn\'t answer. Her only intention was running away from his embrace right now and shed tears in order to pacify her bitter feelings.

As a few rare of seconds passed away silently, Aaron couldn\'t endure anymore and unclasped their palms painfully. Swallowing hard, he mumbled in a husky voice,

" So..you... can\'t promise me that?"

Esme gulped before facing the man guilty. She sutured feeling completely broken after watching his expression,

" Aaron.. listen..I ..I really.."

He cut off her words drifting one metre away from her figure and mumbled incoherently,

" All the while..you are just thinking about leaving me .. That\'s why you can\'t promise me, don\'t you?"

He whispered in a deep pained tongue and looked up at the woman who was struggling to hide her true intention. 

Cracking into a bitter sweet smile, Aaron continued raking his fingers through his raffled hairs,

" I..I thought you really loved me.."

Esme\'s face sank as realization hit her brain.

Was he questioning her feelings towards him?

Esme shook her head vigorously and corrected impatiently,

" I..I do.. Aaron..I really do..It\'s..it\'s just..."

Aaron interrupted her words shooting her a disdained glare,

" It\'s just that you can\'t stay with this bloodthirsty animal forever, isn\'t it?"

Esme\'s face stiffed as she remembered that Aaron was going to confess something before this topic came up. Blinking her tearful eyes for a while, she asked back in a suspicious tongue,

" But you were going to tell me something, didn\'t you? What was it, Aaron? Why do you need this promise from me? Have you done something hateful?"

This time, Aaron\'s expression tightened up before carrying out a painful aura all over his face. His brows tightened into a deep frown as he swallowed hard before jumping on her side.

Esme jolted in surprise a little before her head was grabbed a strong force from back immediately. Before she could assert the reality, she sensed his rapid breathing falling upon on her cheeks.

Aaron gritted his teeth harder and squeezed each words threateningly,

" Esme Watts,if you think that you are going to leave me without my permission, you will never find out anything about me. Never! I will make sure to tie you up in this bed forever. I am a compatible person. You can only know once you give me your words. There will be no questions between us once you promise to me. Why is it so hard for you? Is it so hard to love me?"

Esme knitted her eyebrows slightly as her tears struggled to fall down but she held it back stubbornly. She looked up and gazed into the depth of this enlarged man\'s eyes which seemed like a hallow of buried secrets.

This was first time that she finally was assured that Aaron was keeping secrets from her which wasn\'t as easy as it seems. Gulping down her saliva bitterly, she barely managed to say one line,

" No! But it\'s getting hard to believe you now!"

As soon as her words came out, Aaron loosened the grip jerking away instantly. His expression turned disbelief when he saw the suspense behind her eyes.

Without speaking anything,he hauled up from the bed and headed outside not before banging the door in a thud loudly.

As the sound was too loud and unexpected, Carol rushed inside almost instantly in order to inspect Esme. Coming in front of her, Carol spotted the silent tears from her eyes and wanted to say something.

Giving her no chance to chatter, Esme ordered in a low voice,

" Carol?? I need you to do something confidential."

Carol nodded slightly and waited for her to continue further. Wiping tears from the corner of her eyes, Esme muttured scooping up from the bed and looked through Carol deeply,

" Will you able to figure out the exact reasons of having any herbal medicine? I mean, do you know any healer who can help you finding it out? "

Carol pondered for a while and searched in her thoughts deeply. Remembering the old lady that she met in the market, Carol nodded compherensively and answered in short,

" Yes..I can..my lady.. but whose medicine you will investigate on? Has anything bothering you?"

Esme looked away before replying back in a short moment,

" Your Lord\'s. It\'s time that I should figure out my answers. This suspensions are killing me daily Carol. I can\'t take anymore.I can\'t.."
