Their eyes widen in shock, everyone except Blake who smiled brightly at the thought that Vimdraolf just made his job easy for him.
Rosa fell on knees at the sight before her, her husband hanging lifeless in Vimdraolf’s hand.
As if sensing he has guest, Vimdraolf free the man, and Mateo falls to the earth, his body drop down lifeless with his eyes wide open. Immediately without wasting time, Esmeralda runs to her father’s side.
Father! Father! Father!
Open your eyes, please open your eyes for us.
Father! Father! Father!
All Esmeralda’s cry and call were in vain, Mateo was long gone, him who knew his fate accepted it with ease, with only one though in mind, hoping Amargo would have a change of mind and fulfill her end of deal.
Esmeralda jump up from the ground flying on Vimdraolf who thankfully caught her so she was strangling him with both her legs wrap around his stomach, Vimdraolf’s hand was under her waist, he held unto her tightly, supporting her weight so she don’t fall.
Esmeralda was blinded by rage and her eyes were shut to the work and saving Vimdraolf was doing for her.
Your Monster, Heartless Monster. You killed Him, You Killed My Father. I Hate You, I Will Make You Pain.
Vimdraolf stood on the spot, taking all the hit and insult without complain. He knows it’s better if she brings it out, then keep it in.
After a while, the punches began to grow soft, Esmeralda had quit pulling Vimdraolfs hair and had decided to use her mouth to breathe in place of curse and insult, so she doesn’t pass out from lack of air.
Vimdraolf took that as a queue to let Esmeralda go. He gently lowered her to the ground, steadying her before freeing her.
Rosa still stayed quiet all through Esmeralda tantrum, She has not left her shock zone. Unlike everybody here blaming Vimdraolf for her husband death, even though she would voice out the truth she knows, Rosa is clearly aware of the fact that Mateo dug his own grave. She had noticed how absent minded he had become, Jolt at the slightest sound and suddenly prefer the dark to light.
His late night and disappearance was no news to her, she knew it was just a matter of time before his fate caught up with him.
Seline ran to Esmeralda side, assisting the broken girl with her weight so she doesn’t fall, at the same time using her fingers to comb through Esmeralda hair.
Everyone waited for an explanation as to what just occurred, none was given. Vimdraolf left the place without looking back once.
Two days have gone by, and even the palace walls have felt the grief. Everyone was stuck in a world of sadness with tears constantly falling off their faces.
Seline helplessly tried all morning, then finally she was able to successfully bake one bread without it getting burnt.
She dropped it on the kitchen desk before running off to cleanse herself from the charcoal all over her skin.
Seline didn’t spare the sugar, milk, yeast and butter, reason why the bread is the way it is.
She ran to balcony after she sighted the lady she was looking for, the lady she went through all the stress for.
There you are, I’ve searched every room and corner from the princess of the castle, and she is just seated here all along.
That got Esmeralda, as a little smile escape the side of her lips.
Here take this, I spent all morning baking this, refusing it would make me cranky and sad and as a result of that I would promise myself not to make food for anyone, even if they were dying of hungry and their stomach was eating up themselves.
Then the full blown laugher erupted out of Esmeralda throat.
You can’t be serious Seline, all those oath for one refusal?
All of a sudden, the air that was getting better became sour again.
Why do people suffer for the sins of another Seline, and whose sin I’m I paying for? I never asked for this, I want to be normal, there has just been one occurrence after the other.
Esmeralda, I do not have the answer to your question, but I do know how you feel. Rules were made for you before you were born, somebody sat down and gave you an Ill fated destiny, isn’t that absurd?
Esmeralda sigh out loud after listening to Seline.
Thanks for the bread Seline, I don’t know what I would have done without you.
Don’t you miss him? After all, you guys are mate and stuff.
The question came out softly from Seline
After hearing the question, Esmeralda fingers goes to the mark Vimdraolf gave her on the neck. She can still feel the tingles when she touch it.
I don’t know Seline, maybe, maybe not. This stupid mate bond is messing with my head. There is no way I can love him after everything he has done to me, there is just no possible way Seline.
It’s been two days now, when do you think he would return Esmeralda?
Seline why are you asking all this question of that monster, do you perhaps wish to go with him?
Esmeralda could not keep her feeling in check, she exploded in front of selina.
That was not what I mean Esmeralda.
Seline got hurt by the tone of Esmeralda voice, her face became long, and she couldn’t hold back the tears that escaped through her eyes.
I and my mother never got along till she was killed, but I can’t help but wish I could have a chance to go back in time and acted differently towards her, like respect her, maybe she would still be alive now, and we would have the best mother and daughter relationship.
Even without Esmeralda looking, Seline voice was enough to tell her that she was hurt by her words.
I’m sorry Seline, I should not have transferred my aggression to you, that was wrong on my part.
You can apologize to me after you have eaten the bread, and your punishment is to eat the whole bread.
Esmeralda smile nodding her head to the child, peace filled her heart with the thought that Seline had forgiven her.
