"Vampire? You're joking, right? " Renee write in the notebook and show it to him.
"I'm not joking, It's true that I'm a Vampire " Vincent look hurt at Renee's statement but quickly regain his composure.
"Right... " Renee just rolled her eyes at him.
Vincent just pouted at Renee since she doesn't believe him. How could she believe him? He just ate a ton of onion dishes while Vampire was supposed to despise them. Renee walk away from the dining room and went back to her room.
Now that she looks at it, the room is quite nice. The bed is comfortable. She walks towards the window and looks at the sky. She is mesmerized by the sky. There are so many stars, shining in the sky. She walks and prepares for a slumber.
The next morning she awakes, she expects the first thing she saw is Isaac but...
"Good morning, Renee! " Vincent beams in joy when he sees Renee awake.
"What are you doing here? " Renee mouths the word to Vincent.
"Of course, I'm here to spend time with you! "
"Young master...You still have a meeting with Baron Cohen, the opening act for the Museum and a diplomatic agreement with Count Cecil. Don't tell me that you forgot about that " Isaac entered the room and told Vincent his activities for today meaning to stay away from Renee.
"Can I just have a day's rest, Isaac? I want to spend time with Renee... " Vincent gets close to Renee and hugs her.
"I'm afraid that is not an option, young master... " Isaac gets closer to them and carries Vincent to the door.
"Isaac, you're boring... " Vincent pouted as Isaac walk towards the door and turn his head to Renee.
"I apologise for the behalf of our young master's behaviour and pardon my intrusion. I need to take this 'pest' out, may you have a nice rest " Isaac open the door and exit the room.
"Wait for me, Renee! I will come back later! " Vincent says out loud after Isaac closes the door. Renee is left dumbfounded by the incident. What in the world just happened? She gets up from bed and does her daily routine.
She looks at herself in the mirror and looks satisfied with her look. She goes out and takes a walk in the garden once again. She gets closer and some flowers catch her eyes. Calla Lily. For some reason, those flower seems familiar to her. Even though, she doesn't know its name...It's still a beautiful flower. It seems...nostalgic. Two maids walked towards her and she looks at them.
"Is this flower to your liking, my lady? " a maid speak to her in a friendly manner.
"Yes, it is " she shows her reply to them.
"The young master also loves this flower " The maid just smile since she likes the flower so much. Mostly, every guest staying in the mansion didn't even glance at the flower for a moment. She is glad that there is finally someone who appreciates the flower.
"Oh yeah, I remember it now. He keeps gazing at them whenever he has a chance " another maid spoke.
"That reminds me, it's getting colder my lady...We should head back inside, we will put the flower in your room " the maid says and escort Renee inside.
As soon as she gets inside the mansion, the sky starts to look dark. It will start to rain soon, that's why it was cold back then. She can't do outdoor activities at this rate. From what she remembered, Isaac told her that she was still in the recovery process and she need to properly take care of it since she will get sick easily.
But, she still won't scratch the idea of playing in the rain. Even though she is a grown-up woman, what's wrong with playing in the rain for a while? For now, she looks on the bright side and goes to the library. She wants to find a book about Vampire.
She searches corner by corner and finally found it. It was an old book that was titled 'The Study Of Vampire'. She takes it and walks to the Observatory Room. She wants to see what it looks like inside. Besides, she wants to look at the star closer, she can't get enough just by looking at her window yesterday.
She arrives at the room and opens the door. She was practically amazed by the combination of the colour in the room. She sees a big telescope in the middle of the room, practically the main point of the room. There were many books on the shelves around the wall. There is also a staircase which leads to the second floor which contains more books.
She walk to the desk and saw many books and papers scattered around. She also saw a map of the constellation and begin to inspect them. One by one she tries to remember and trace them with her hand. She walks to the telescope to search for some constellation.
She comes across one of the brightest stars in the sky. She traces it with her finger and tries to recall its name. She also sees some side notes about the constellation. Cygnus. Cygnus is also known as Northern Cross.
She stops reading when she felt someone breathing behind her. She turns her head around and comes across the last person she expects to see.
"Yahoo! What are you doing, Renee? " Vincent just smile at her and look at the telescope.
"You're looking at Cygnus? Did you know the story behind Cygnus? " Vincent looks at Renee and she comes closer to him wanting to hear the story.
"Alright, Cygnus is a friend of Phaeton who is the son of Apollo " Vincent sits and starts the story.
Renee just listens closely to him even though she doesn't know who is the person he refers to. She will study them later on. For now, she wants to listen to the story.
"Those two were racing and it got intense to the point they got too close to the sun. Both of them came crashing down to the Earth. Cygnus regained consciousness but was unable to find his dear friend. He found his lifeless dear friend at the bottom of the Eridanus River, but the body of his unable to dive that deep " Vincent stop a bit to catch his breath before continuing the story again.
"He made a pact with Zeus to turn him into a swan so that he can retrieve Phaeton and give him a proper burial. But, in exchange, he will live at the normal age for a swan. Zeus agrees and Cygnus can retrieve Phaeton's body to let his soul travel to the afterlife " he stops the story and stands in front of Renee. He turns around and looks at her.
"Zeus was touched by his action, thus allowing him to be in the sky as an image of sacrifice and friendship " Vincent stops talking to ask for her opinion.
"So, what are your thoughts about the story? "
"The story...It seems sad...Do Cygnus and Phaeton meet again? " Renee asks him where she earns a deep silence.
"Who knows? " Vincent answered after giving her a long silent treatment.
