Ch-64

Esther, Kris, and John started eating while talking and laughing. While they were eating, the three of them heard an angry shout.

"ESTHER BENJAMIN!!!!!!!" Three of them turned to look at the source of the voice.

Esther didn't expect that her grandfather would come here. She didn't understand why he was screaming at her.

"Grandfather, why were you here?" she asked.

"Why can't I be here? If I don't come, do you plan to continue doing that shameful thing!? Huh?" Charles Windsors said. His tone was evident to show that he was angry.

Kris started sweating the moment he saw Charles Windsors. If Esther got to know that he tattletale something bad behind her back, she would kill him! He gulped unconsciously.

"Grandfather, It's not a shameful thing. That bastard deserved it! I am just letting him taste his own medicine! I don't feel shameful or regretful doing that!" Esther said.

"You were still talking! Huh? You don't feel shameful or regretful by sleeping with three men!? Huh? How did I have a granddaughter like you!?" Charles Windsors yelled.

Kris tried to sneak away. If he was present for another second, both grandfathers and granddaughter would kill him. But before he could sneak away, John stopped him.

"What!? ME? Who said that thing? Eww.... imagining it is so…. Ewwwww. I brought them to satisfy Arthur! Not me! I still have to think and work for my upcoming flagship! If I do this, what if someone leaked about it! My reputation would be ruined! And how the hell did you believe it! Who said to you I am sleeping with them!? It's so disgusting to think only! Ew," Esther was so angry when she heard her grandfather's words.

Unknowingly, her eyes turned gold. Charles Windsors knew she got Arthur back to torture. But he didn't expect she brought them for him. Don't tell me she is letting them do 'that' thing to him! When he was in his thoughts, a wave of dark aura hit him! He noticed his granddaughter's eyes had turned into a gold color. His heart shook when he noticed that. He noticed the temperature dropped at a faster rate than usual.

"Do you mean, you were letting those three men rape him!?" He asked.

"Yes!" Esther said.

Charles Windsors noticed the changes in her voice. He couldn't help but feel scared.

[So, this was how Raudramukhi was…] he thought.

"Everyone leave!" Charles Windsors said.

"Esther! I didn't mean to doubt you! But some bastard called me and said that you did that shameful thing! When I heard that my total sense of thinking was thrown away! Grandfather apologizes to you!" Charles Windsors continued.

"Who informed!?" Esther asked.

Her voice completely changed into an eerie tone. Her presence itself was enough to scare oneself. Charles Windsors was scared of his brother only, but for the first time in his life, he feared his granddaughter too. He doesn't know whether he should be happy or sad. The dark aura which was exuding from her intensified by ten times. Her eyes turned red. Unknown to her, a golden light started eluding from her left shoulder.

Charles's eyes sharpened at her sight.

"Why were your eyes turning red?" Charles asked.

His words confused Esther. She opened her phone camera into a selfie mode and checked. Indeed, her eyes were turned red.

"They changed from your brown to gold color and then to red color!" Charles said.

"Huh?" Esther was confused.

Seeing her confused state, Charles understood she didn't know the changes that were happening to her.

"What was that on your shoulder?" he asked.

Esther looked on her shoulder but she found nothing new except there was a golden light that looked like a divine one.

"Esther! Grandfather was not a pervert. But can you loosen your clothes and let grandfather have a look?" Charles asked.

Esther said nothing. She removed the first two buttons of her shirt and let him look at that shoulder.

Charles saw there was a transparent tattoo on her shoulder. In that tattoo, a woman was wearing an ancient style of Dravidian saree with a trident in her hand while sitting on a lion with eight hands. Her eight hands held eight different things and there was a crown on her head. The most noticeable thing was her eyes. They looked scary.

[That was goddess Parvathi!] his inner self answered his thoughts.

When he was immersed in his thoughts, he saw besides that tattoo there was some other thing. He saw a flower that was drawn symmetrically. No matter from which angle one saw, it can be cut symmetrically.

[Ashtadalapadmam] his inner self answered again.

There were few Sanskrit symbols on it. He checked if there was anything more, but he couldn't find anything more.

"Esther, did you feel anything odd with your left shoulder in the past few days?" Charles Windsors asked.

"Grandfather, it hurt the day I woke up. From then it started hurting not all days but a few days, on the full moon day particularly started hurting more, but I thought little about it and ignored it. And whenever I was under the moon, I felt light. And before I couldn't bear sun heat and used to suffer from rashes, but now, I don't feel that and I am enjoying the heat," she said.

"I asked about the shoulder!" Charles Windsors chuckled as he teased her. He knew she was extremely cautious about her health. If you ask a needle size she would reveal the sword's size details.

"Grandpa!" Esther whined.

The dark aura around her disappeared, and her eyes turned normal. Even she was curious about what was happening with her. These days she noticed everyone started fearing her and even standing in her presence was a challenge to them. Even she was a human, the others were behaving like she was a monster! In the start, she doesn't want to deal with Arthur because her family already dealt with him, but now she feels she has to deal with him completely. She noticed her thoughts turning dark. Her thinking abilities and many other things started increasing in a wide range. She herself felt she wasn't her previous self. It's just happened that these things started happening from the time her so-called soul started meeting her.

"Grandpa, Am I really reborn after two centuries?" Esther asked in a low voice.

Charles looked at her in surprise.

[Are my doubts true?] he thought.

"What were your doubts? What were those tattoos on me?" she asked loudly.

"You can hear me?" he asked her in surprise.

Esther blinked at him.

"Let's go home!" she blurted. She didn't notice that she was sweating heavily.
