Challenging King Aiden |✔|

Chapter- 37 Blood?

Priscilla POV

"No." He said immediately.

"Why?" I asked. I never saw him kill any one.

"Come. We have to meet the people." He said as he got up. We went towards somewhere I don't know.

Lots and lots of people were there. All young and of my age. No old.

"These my demons." Aiden said.

"Wonderful." I stated as my eyes wandered over the crowd.

The ladies were literally killing me with their glares. I gave them sweet fake smile.

"Hello folks!!!" Aiden's voice boomed in the room. Loud and clear.

They all bowed in respect. I looked at them in awe. What a beautiful kingdom.

"You guys have been waiting patiently to meet your queen." He roared as he pulled me close to him.

"You might have met her in past as a child. Here she is like a goddesses. Your Queen. Priscilla King." He said. Everyone cheered.

I felt awkward. What am I supposed to do now?

"Come." Aiden chuckled as he guided me to the crowd.

Everyone parted the way, bowing at me. I felt nervous.

Aiden pulled me into him. I was literally smashed to him. I smiled at everyone.

All kinds of smiles responded. Genuine smiles. Happy smiles. Sweet smiles. Fake smiles.

"Where are we going?" I asked as Aiden pulled me with him.

"To meet someone very important." He answered.

In seconds we were away from the people. He took me to a room.

"Stella." Aiden called.

"Aiden, Is that you?" A old wimen came out of nowhere. She slapped Aiden's arm playfully.

"Ouch." Aiden played along.

"Were you in coma for these years? 12 years? You never thought of me?" The old women snapped.

"Hermosa!!" The old women exclaimed as soon She saw me.

She pushed Aiden off the way and came to me with a huge smile.

"Finally, this idiot found you." She said as she pulled me inti a hug.

"Call me Stella." She said pulling back.

"She raised me after mom." Aiden stated.

"Have you introduced her in the council?" Stella asked.

I frowned. Is there more people to meet? I want to go back to room now. 

"Just tell them to join the ritual. They will meet their Queen there." Aiden snapped. Ritual? 

"She knows?" Stella asked as she looked at me worried. 

"Not yet." Aiden said. I stood their like a lost puppy. 

"What?" I asked. 

"Aiden, You go out. I will explain to her." Stella said. Aiden hesitated but went out.

"Priscilla." Stella patted the place beside her. I sat down. 

"You are aware that you are chosen by his mother?" Stella asked. I nodded.

"She believed that you will help Aiden come out of his shell." She stated. 

"Aiden was very close to his dad. He was good as dead when his dad died. HE locked himself in his room. He barely ate anything. His sister's death caused a lot more to him. He set the whole place on fire. He was furious." She said. Her voice thick with emotions.

"He turned into a murderer. He killed each and every person involved by his bare hands. He clawed out there heart. He turned into something no one could figure out." She said as her eyes teared up. 

Aiden wasn't this detail. He knew it will kill me to listen to this.

"Don't hate him." She pleaded.

"I never hated him." I whispered with a small smile.

"That's good." She hugged me.

"I love him." I stated lowly. She suddenly pulled back with a huge grin.

"You love him?! God!! I am so happy!!! Thank you so much!!! I knew you will make his dark days turn good." She exclaimed. I hushed her.

"What happened?" She asked confused.

"I haven't confessed to him." I said.

"Why?" She asked.

"I don't know. I am scared." I said.

"Baby!! Take your time." She said. I smiled at her thankfully.

"Now. I am going to tell about the ritual." Stella stated. I nodded.

"This is a simple ritual that every queen has to do. A tub full blood-" She started but I cut her.

"Blood? Whose blood?" I asked in horror.

"Blood of each and every King and Queen." Stella answered. My eyes widened.

"Don't worry. You will be blindfolded." She assured.

"You have to have to bath in their blood. Aiden will be there for you." Stella said.

"Okay." I said hesitantly.

"Don't worry. You will be fine. It is just for your safety. It will help your heart beating and it will never stop." She explained.

"Is that how?" I asked her. She nodded. That is how Aiden's mom is alive.

Half alive...

"It will be awkward.  Blood bath. But have to do this." Stella said.

"Okay." I said.

"Aiden!!!!" Stella yelled. Aiden popped his head in.

"Is it over?" He asked. I nodded.

"Do you want to do this?" He asked. Concerned.

"I will." I said. He nodded.

Stella whispered a small thank you and let us go. Aiden's hand as always was wrapped around me.

"Are you ready?" Aiden asked. I nodded.

We walked through many doors. atlast we stood in front of the door. Many people stood there waiting.

"They are the council members. " Aiden stated. All looked old.

"King. Queen." An old man bowed. His tone monotone.

"Priscilla King. My Queen." Aiden said. Pulling me close.

"It's lovely to meet you Queen." The old man said politely.

"Yeah." I said awkwardly. Aiden's face was hard and emotionless.

"Shall we begin?" He asked. I nodded.

"You may sit down." The old man said. I sat down.

"What is he going to do?" I asked Aiden lowly.

"Stella didn't tell about the sign?" Aiden frowned. I shook my head.

"You are going to get a tattoo of royals." He said. My eyes widened.

Tattoo? Shit!!

"I had never gotten a tattoo." I whispered back.

"It is for royals only." He stated.

"Will it pain?" I asked.

"A bit." He whispered back.

"Ohh." I felt fear take place in my heart. Tattoo is something I never had and never planned to have.

"We can skip this part." Aiden said. The council members were literally so ready to stab the pin in my skin.

"I am ready." I said as boldly I could.
