The feeling of uncertainty had made the atmosphere of the hall heavy. The sudden rise of the ancient vampire and becoming my guardian felt unreal.
Shortly, the ball dance began. The atmosphere of the ball was light again. I had promised Xavier my first dance. My mind was filled with clouds of ominous thoughts. However, as soon as my eyes fell on Xavier's charming smile, I felt relieved.
Xavier came to me. He spread his palms for the promising first dance. Before I could take it, my hand got seized by the ancient vampire Lord.
I was dumbfounded by the unexpected approach of Lord Cardis.
"Would you not like to have the first dance with me, Daughter?" Lord Cardis asked as he pulled me away from Xavier in the middle of the ball.
"Don't say something so gruesome," I said, staring at him flatly.
