Chapter 4 - Similar Destinations

"To-touched!!???!??" he said feeling like he was going to faint "Wait you said 10 years!?" he asked leaning against the doorframe "I slept for 10 years!!???" he asked with surprise in his voice.

"Yes young master, those ten years were for your common human bloodline to merge with the noble vampire bloodline," said Lyria with a patient tone.

"Aahh I still remember when we met you young master. We were just little girls and Lyria turned red like a pepper hehehe…" Said Anika with a smirk "Well I think you better get into the bath young master Lyria and I had a lot of effort to prepare it, you know"

"O-Okay," said Gaius before walking over to the basin and timidly unrolling the sheet from his waist before plunging his entire body into the water.

Gaius felt refreshed as he relaxed into the tub. Lyria and Anika each took a sponge, and began to scrub Gaius's body. Gaius was a little shy with the idea of ​​being washed by two beauties, but taking into account that he spent 10 years being washed, it didn't have much of a problem, the only difference would be that he would be aware of the touch.

After the bath Lyria guided Gaius to a room that contained a large library, with almost infinite shelves of books. Gaius was amazed, when he was still living in the village with grandma before the destruction he used to say that he would read every book in the world, get very smart and work hard until he became a nobleman to help the village.

"But that's past… sigh" muttered Gaius without realizing it. Lyria listened but decided to leave the questions for later.

"This is the great library of the Fryt family mansion. Something that brings a lot of honor to the family name, some people who were allowed in reported that there were books even before writing and paper were created, even before the first wizard was born! !" She said with praise in her voice "Most of the older books were written by the master and some by her disciples"

"That reminds me of something" said Gaius "Where's the rest of the Fryt family?" asked Gaius. The only people he saw when he arrived at the mansion he assumed were servants. "Dead young masters, dead…." Lyria replied without bothering to explain anything. "Good young master the mistress asked me to leave you here, she wants you to study as much as you can and use your advantages" said Lyria before making a slight bow and leaving, closing the heavy door behind her.

Gaius took a moment to process Lyria's words. 'So the mistress has that kind of past too,' thought Gaius after a few seconds of silence.

Gaius thought that Phaedra had chosen to turn him into a vampire because he was something special, but the information now gave him new meaning. Perhaps the deciding factor in her choice was the fact that he was left alone after consuming the entire village with a raging fire, and the past they have in common.

Gaius spent months in the library room. Because he no longer had the physiological needs of a human, Gaius lost the habit of sleeping because he didn't feel the need. The fact that made him feel awkward was the fact that he didn't need to breathe anymore and didn't even need to eat regular food every day. He could live by drinking a few times every few months without any risk to his life.

He studied as much as he could, reading books on the most diverse subjects, practicing magic with the help of books that contained collections of spells. Gaius found he had an almost divine talent for magic, he didn't know if it was because of his transformation or if he already had, but even so he was very excited about his newfound strength.
