Chapter 37 I have fallen in love with someone else
" To Leviathan, you need to tell him, to Cyrus, you need to prove him, but to Alba, you need to be shown if you really belong to the bloodline of royals and the creators," Raymond said, and Esperanza's eyes were stuck on him.
"Alba has the master mind in manipulating and has incredible strength of hearing and smelling you cannot say anything that will be kept oblivious to her," Raymond said.
"She can shape-shift water and snow into different shapes that are necessary for that time,"
" That's the most apparent phase of getting to the Arctic flaming descend, Alba will take you to your destiny, and the real path will turn there," he said, leaving everyone confused.
"What path will it be?" Ezra asked.
"The path of getting to the mysterious kingdom of the golden dragon, no one, no one of us, even the most powerful dragon who are your ancestors has been there, because no one dared to challenge the golden dragon,"
Not even those psychic demons who were killed decades ago, Raymond said, and Esperanza was rendered unconscious by her mind in that moment.
"Only if you have real powers to be there, you will be invited," Raymond said, and Ezea frowned with curiosity.
"And if we do not?" Then, he asked.
"Then the ground will burst open apart, and you will be buried under the snow of a blizzard," Raymond said, and a shiver runs through Ezra's nerves.
"But this is not going to happen to us," Esperanza said she was determined about what she was going to do.
"How strong is your claim?" Raymond asks.
"It's not a claim, it's a fact, I know this is not going to happen," Esperanza said and stood firm in her decision. Raymond smiled slightly and nodded.
"I hope for the good," Raymond said and Ezra was staring at Esperanza's face.
Esperanza has made up her mind, and now no power can turn her intentions aside.
" Raymond, you can go now," Ezra said, and Raymond left with a bow.
"Esperanza," he clutched her hand, and suddenly a storm of emotions turned towards her mind.
"What were you trying to do? You do not have to tell anybody about your identity," Ezra said and Esperanza felt the genuine and wise sentinels.
" Why do you think that way?" Esperanza asked.
" What way?" He was perplexed.
"You never told me about that? And now your heart is screaming these emotions," Esperanza said and Ezra was stunned in his place.
" Did you ever ask about me? Maybe I have someone by my side," Esperanza was thinking about Orion this time.
"I have fallen in love with someone else, a very long time ago, and I cannot resist it, and I cannot deny it," Esperanza was letting out of rage, and she was oblivious to what she was breaking, but that was something she had never built.
"You... Can you hear my thoughts?" He asked with a flabbergasted look, and Esperanza's tears fell down her cheek.
"Yes, I can. I don't know, but I can feel your emotions, and I can sense what you are feeling with every word," Esperanza said, and he let go of her hand instantly.
Ezra was ashamed and looked down, while rage was furiously apparent in his eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Ezra asked.
"I cannot tell you, he is from your kind, and your kingdom........," She was about to say something, but then she stopped, she knew if she elaborated on Orion's reality, then he would be in trouble.
"He is a dragon?" Ezra gave a frown, and Esperanza nodded.
"I do not want you to feel this way, but this is important for us. If you keep knotted that feeling inside your heart, then this will break both of us," Esperanza explained, and Ezra's eyes were numb as well.
" I.... I never knew you had someone in your life, if... If I were familiar with this, I would.... I would never," Ezra said with a forced, tight smile.
"But a dragon? Why? You are a human," Exra frowned
"I... I was denying those feelings because I thought I was a human, but now I know I am not; something else is living inside me, and now I can embrace him with all the warmth he deserves," Esperanza said, and Ezra felt substandardized by that unknown comparison.
" Who does not want all these glitters, all these goodness but Ezra,...,"
. She stopped and continued, "King Ezra, I am apologetic to you, I did not tell you this before,"
"But someone has taken my heart long ago, it's been ten years," she said and Exra felt more grounded.
"Ten years?" He was shocked, and she looked away.
"Thanks for telling me, but why your heart felt compassion for me? Why your eyes are not meeting mine?" He asked and suddenly her surrounding turned unnerving.
'Let it go, I won't ask you, you should ask your heart," he said and moved towards the door, cause he was not able to survive in this situation more.
