I am a vampire, the pure bloodline of the vampire imperial family, one of the honored knights. The rumors said that I am a woman who's the most feared in this world. A swordsman who thirsted for blood and had killed a thousand lives. Everyone's eyes toward me were no matter who you are. If there are people that are blocking my path. I will kill and torture them without mercy.
It is a rumor about me and now...What's going on? We have a human kid in our house. Unbelievable!
"Victor...I can't concentrate because of that girl. What are you going to do with her?"
After we find that girl in the forest. She was unconscious for a few weeks. When she wakes up. There is no information that can help us because the girl lost her memory.
"Well, I want to keep her until she's able to control herself. She lost her memory and now she's alone with that tiny body. I can not just let her away."
Vanessa bit her lips, "I tolerant everything because this is not your first time helping people."
Helping people but not a human.
Why I am so angry?
I don't have a relationship with this either!
"Don't worry. I'll be the one that protects the human girl. You don't need to think about her again."
Victor holds her shoulders, then gives a kiss of respect to her hands. In order to make her believe and allow it.
"Fine! From the first time...I mean do as you want! I don't care about what you do to her."
Vanessa immediately left him faster and she hides behind the door with a face of confusion. Her mind was filled with him. Her face suddenly blushed like an octopus. Her heart was beating so fast.
Vanessa who was in the room feels upset. However, she can't release her anger. She should hold her temper because the reason is so stupid.
For the moment, she jumped into the bed while looking at her right hand. "I hope that girl doesn't show up and gone forever. I just want the two of us. Just you and me...."
I am jealous of the human girl? She is a kid, nothing else, you are way older than her.
"Victor...haaaa, I shouldn't have done that."
Hm, my stomach suddenly felt hungry. They keep barking at me to ask for food. Damn! Why in the times like this I'm feeling hungry?!
Bloodthirsty woman, hah? I am just the same as the other normal vampire.
A woman who had a lot of weakness!
"Haa..." She heaved a long sigh and got up from her bed.
"Where are the others?"
I headed to the dining room. It's oddly enough...this place is so quiet. There's no one in here. Not as usual, where are they?
"What? What are they doing? She?"
Vanessa is shocked because those servants come to talk to someone. They're talking to that girl. Their smile was warm and sincere, thee servants never do that to her.
"Nevertheless because I was that scary and a princess."
That human girl even could make Victor face like that? I thought I was the only one...supposed to be... just me. That smile...I am the only one. Haha, I was wrong.
"Vanessa, you here? Good news! She already knows her name. Her name is Valeska. Valeska introduces yourself to Vanessa. She is the princess."
Valeska looks embarrassed and hides in his black robe. On the other hand, Vanessa just looked at her with a sharp gaze and was forced to smile in front of Valeska. She did that so Victor wouldn't feel disappointed.
"That's a pretty name. Hello, Valeska. My name is Vanessa."
Although it's been smiling unwillingly. Valeska still hiding behind his robe and escaped to the servants. Vanessa who doesn't care anymore leaves them without saying a word.
Victor shouted her name, "Vanessa!"
I'm chasing after her. I call her name but she didn't answer my word. I have no choice but to do it. So I grab her hands and place her against the wall. She didn't even see my face. What's wrong with you? Did I do something wrong to you?
"Are you hate me?"
"...Of course not."
She avoids my eyes again.
"Is there something wrong? You can tell me. I'll do everything you say."
She seems so nervous and touched her shoulders every second. I'm getting closer to her face. I thought it would work.
"Get away from me!"
"What?" Victor confused.
"I apologize. The head servant mentioned that I'm having some stuff outside. Then I'll see you tonight."
Vanessa quickly disappears by jumping from the window. Victor saw her jump can't stop her.
"Wait!?"
She was acting very strange recently. Is there something on your mind? We've been living together for more than ten years. But this is the first time I saw you like this.
"Sir?"
It was the human girl with an innocent face.
"...What's wrong, Valeska?" Victor knelt.
"Did Miss Vanessa hate me? Did Valeska do something bad?"
Indeed, she is just a 12-year-old girl.
"Don't worry. I'll talk to her. Valeska just needs to stay here with the servant. Are you understand?"
"Yes, Sir."
She's so cute. Are you hating me because of Valeska? That's a funny reason I ever heard. Then I have to chase her and explain everything, I guess!
"See you tonight, Valeska."
"Yes, Sir Victor!"
He looks confused instantly when he saw Valeska waving her hand at him. But finally, he continues his way to find Vanessa. Passing through the big hallway and out through the main door. He called something and appeared a dragon, flying in his direction. He jumped to the dragon's back.
His dragon flew away from their mansion. At the same time when he is leaving.
Vanessa, the woman he was looking for. She saw him from a distance. She was hiding on the other side of the mansion.
"You better go for a while and now my main problems."
Vanessa goes back towards the mansion. She goes with sneaking around, looking around, and opening the doors room one by one. No one in here. It's very quiet like before. There were only the servants that passed by.
There is a group of servants who gathered and talk to each other, maybe gossip? Because she was curious. She heard their conversation. Those servants are talking about Valeska. The little girl is 12 years old.
Do they talk about her?
"Do you think that Your Highness Prince Victor likes the Young Miss?"
What? Victor?
"Maybe...he so cares about her."
Vanessa was silent hearing those words.
"But what about Miss Vanessa? I heard the two of them are a lover?"
"I also heard about that. But do you know? I didn't feel any affection for them. They look like a friend in my eyes."
"Haha, maybe you're right."
Yes, they are right. I'm just his friend, nothing else. I know that but why I am being like this? Ever since that human girl shows up. I could control my emotion.
Why?
"More than that, Princess Vanessa seems to be harsh to Prince Victor. Poor him. He deserves someone else."
How dare are you mocking the imperial family bloodline? Clam down, Vanessa. You have to endure it.
"I wonder how long are they going to live in this hell?"
She was fed up with that conversation and went away with a big step in the quiet hallway. Walk and keep walking simultaneously with the mixed feelings in her chest.
Vanessa that's not strong enough about everything finally sat down in the big hallway. Her hands held the floor, she looked at her steadily.
A shadow of blood suddenly appeared in her hands.
"I..!?"
Compare to me. I am indeed a disgusting woman. These hands have killed a lot of people. To keep the old promise, although I feel ordinary at killing them.
And this lately, sometimes the spirits of the people I kill like haunting me.
I'm hideous and...
Should I stop before getting worse?
"Excuse me?"
A person standing in front of me. I slowly raised my head and then look at her face. Her little face is sweet and beautiful. But why is she smiling at me? Her smiled and her gaze is like a devil. It's so cold.
"Miss Vanessa, are you alright? Do you need me to help you?"
This human girl...
is this girl really an ordinary person?
