In the previous chapter:
"Okay,we'll leave for your home after four days."Hitoshi said.
:Present time:
"I wonder what the happened yesterday night?They are not going to open up."Mirai thought as she soaked herself in the warm and densed water.
After coming out of the bath,she was thinking about her preparation for going back to going back home.She really was worthy for being the center of attraction in the other dimensions and obviously,she didn't have a slightest idea about it.
"Can you please tell me where William,I mean Prince William is?"Mirai humbly asked a guard.
"He's not here yet,ma'am."The guard replied back.
"Oh okay."She said before leaving.
"Looking for something?."Hitoshi somehow managed to make a startling appearance.
"I'm not even scared by his jumpscares anymore."She thought before asking where William was.
"I don't know if he'll come today."Hitoshi couldn't guarantee.
"Is that so?Then guess I'll practice by myself."She mumbled before turning around.
"Should I inform him?"He asked.
"It's fine,he must have important works to do."She said while leaving.
"Practicing by yourself is good,but you need a mentor to point out your flaws."She said as she noticed the color of the water couldn't meet her expectations.
"I've got no other choices,I can't involve them with my problems,not anymore."She tried to spark a light of confidence in her mind.She felt an unnatural force in her hand though.It felt warmer than usual and the water was getting darker quickly."I wonder if this has anything to do with the ritual of yesterday."She thought.
"Yes,this is an effect of the ritual."Hitoshi knocked on the door.
"How the hell did he read my mind."She thought."How do you know what I was thinking?"She was a little surprised.
"Guessed it."He said as he entered the room.
"Such a precise guess."She mumbled loudly enough so that he could hear it.
"So,how's your practice going?Showing any improvement?"He curiously asked.
"I don't know.I just feel a little strange.Nevermind that,could please explain something about this 'ritual'?"She asked seriously.
"It wasn't anything big.It's called the test of tharseo,we basically did it to awaken your vampire instincts.It has unleashed a huge part of your your power."The part about the test not being big was a lie,but the other things he told were partly true.
"Why don't I remember it?"She said.
"This test is done on all of us and we can't really recall anything."He said.
"So it's normal for me to forget it."She mumbled.
"Oh another tip for your practice,try to hit the surface of the water,make sure you aren't dipping your whole hand.It's the surface layer that makes everyone no,everything weak."He slowly smiled before leaving.
Mirai knew what he meant."Is there anyone whom he's trying to point out?"She thought as her brows narrowed.
Hitoshi's advice seemed to work.The water was way more blacker than usual."Thank goodness~"She sighed in relief.
It took her one whole day to master it properly though.But her improvement was eye catching.
"So you've mastered it,within one day,without any assistance?"William calmly asked.
"And so it seems."She smiled as she took a sip of coffee.
"That's my sister for you!"Harris exclaimed.
The five of them were having a tea party like arrangement.It was a discussion about their leaving.
"You have only three days before you leave."Mathew said.
"Yeah."She said.
"The three of us can't leave together,as Harris seem to have important tasks."Hitoshi joined.
"I'll be back after sometimes,this place has unknowingly came into a bond with me."She smiled.
"I'll teach you a more hard spell next time."William said challenginly.
"Okay."She cheerfully gleed.
"Anyways,my sis,you were always captivated in this dull palace ever since you came here,why don't we roam around for a bit tomorrow?"Harris offered.
"Sounds like a good idea."Mathew agreed.
"Yeah."William shortly replied.
"Hm",Hitoshi just hummed.
"Then it's fixed,we going tomorrow."Harris cheerfully announced.
"Really?I can't believe it!"She was clearly happy.
Hitoshi smiled at Mirai's innocence.
"What a very strange creature."He thought.
