Chapter 9
"Hmm, it is a pleasure to meet you Lady Beatrice." Lady Yuan said.
"It is my pleasure Milady." Beatrice smiled.
"Your fangs are sharp."
"I told her so." Lady Herbert said, walking out of the room she had just gone into.
"Don't flatter me Milady, it is not as sharp as yours."
"Lies, it is almost the same...with Wolfarine." Lady Yuan said, and gave her a smile.
"Pardon me, I'm used to call him that."
"Why not Lady Yuan, there is no need to give me an excuse, every one knows he's like a brother to you." Beatrice said, not knowing why the lady were being so nice to her.
Was it normal? or was it how they were?
But they tales she had heard when she was little was that this particular creatures were evil and cruel.
Or was it a way to lure her and stake her?
"Don't tense Beatrice, we're not going to hurt you, not that we can anyway. You're a Cold-blooded Vampire and a powerful one at that." Yuan said and Beatrice nodded, reluctantly.
Beatrice was not going to lose guard with this people.
No one knew others heart and what they had in their mind.
"Relax, dear Beatrice." Yuan laughed, going to the seat to get her makeover.
"I am relaxed Milady, but then it is not everyday one gets to meet nice people. They are more people that scheme things, pardon me for saying that." Beatrice said and Lady Yuan nodded.
"You speak wisdom dear Beatrice but then, we have no intention to hurt you. Just to prepare you and take you to the banquet. The Lord will be there." Yuan said and smiled.
Beatrice didn't like that. She didn't even know why? But she was already getting second thoughts about going to the banquet.
Oh how she wished she had brought Mel with her.
"What about your sister, isn't she going to the Banquet?" Lady Herbert asked, as she stared at her face.
Her makeover was perfect and she looked beautiful.
"You look magnificent milady." Beatrice commented and Herbert laughed.
"You look more stunning with that pale dress on and that pretty face. Imagine how you would look like after your makeover and your dress is changed. I bet the Lord won't be able to keep his eyes off."
"The Lord has many women on his plate, than fancy me Lady Herbert." Beatrice said to have the woman snort.
"There is none..wait a minute Lady Beatrice. Do you think they Lord and I are close people?" Lady Herbert asked, staring at the other Lady.
Beatrice had seen how they were at the tea party, they sure looked intimate and she had thought that the Lord and Lady Herbert were really close.
"Aren't you close?" Beatrice asked, to see her shake her head.
"My grandmother and his grandmother are sisters, that makes us family." Lady Herbert said, shaking her head.
"Did you cuss the Lord or hate him for that Beatrice?"
"Ha! Who I'm I Lady Herbert to cuss the Lord or hate him for being with a woman. I bet he can not recognize me again and I don't think I can even recall his face again." Beatrice said to have the Lady that was applying some cream on her face snort as well.
"Even Yuan doesn't believe this rubbish." Lady Herbert laughed.
Beatrice didn't even know what they were talking about?
She could not even recognize the man named the Lord or Viscoria.
The only thing she could recall is that his eyes were Amber and Golden in colour.
They seemed weird when they talked about him and her and she didn't like that!
Or was they Lord in love with her and he had told them?
Or had they Lord fallen for her? She shook her head, as she walked to the seat to get her makeover done.

"Ha, you look entirely different dear sister." Mel said, as she ate her food.
"I asked you to come but you didn't, you did miss a lot." Beatrice snorted and rolled her eyes.
"You're snorting, I think they've taught you something bad." Mel chuckled.
"I did enjoy being here all alone and enjoying my crispy wall nut." Mel said, grabbing the black round nut and crushing it with her fingers to have it produce a fruit.
"You should eat more of it sister, it helps the brain settle down and that's what you need. A brain settlement." Beatrice said and Mel huffed.
"Come, let me apply some of the makeover on your face, the banquet is already on." Beatrice said, as she zipped her dress to look at Mel.
"Okay." Mel said, and walked to the mirror and Beatrice began her magic.

"Pardon me Milady, how do I look?" Mel asked, dramatically as the carriage rode them to the banquet.
"You look stunning." Beatrice commented to have Mel smile.
"We'll soon be there and I'll be sure to dance with a God tonight." Mel said, staring at her reflection in the mirror.
She was beautiful and breathtaking, there was no denying it.
"We're here Ladies." The Coachman said, and they nodded, getting down.
It wasn't their carriage, as theirs had broken down due to the heavy luggages they had used to move from the village.
"It is your fault, we have no carriage on out beck and call no dear sister." Mel said and Beatrice rolled her eyes.
Walking to the huge Castle that stood tall at the heart of Viscoria, both Mel and Beatrice walked in to the house and their eyes widened.
"It is not a small party sister."
"So it seems." Beatrice nodded, her neck pushing to the wood on the stairs.
"Hmm, what do we have here?" They both heard a voice asked.
