Okes stood there, his eyes trained to the marble floor waiting to receive pedagogy from his master.
"I want you to find out what kai has been up to these recent days and why he came back so suddenly" picking up the glass to take a sip from it "have told you many times to stop boiling the blood some much it loses it flavor " showing is disapproval
" Forgive my negligence master Vernon ".bowing his head deeply
"negligence uhh, "whirling the glass "do you know that people die because of their negligence okes, maybe have been too lenient"
"it won't happen again " he became anxious, and his palm became sweaty.
"I don't what to taint my hand with blood today" as he promised his mother not to kill anyone for now. "you may leave, that is all for now ".
Getting out of the room he puff out heavily putting his hand on his heart which was beating fast, one of these days he would die from a heart attack caused by this vampire."I should quit now that am still alive." walked away.

Early in the morning as the sun covered the sky and the distant sound of the birds singing, Aure's eyelashes flutter open revealing her blue eyes. A yawn escaped from her mouth. Removing the blankets she place her bare foot on the cold floor as the paddled across the room her night grown swept the floor. She stood in front of a large mirror that reflected her looks "ugh!! " pulling her hair that look like a perch "I should not have drunk so much".
After she spent some alone time in the forest she took the local carriage back to the establishment, a party was going on which was thrown by some rich vampires, madam Peggy invited her to join the fun with the others and with just two glasses of liquor, she was wasted. The last thing she remembers was someone helping her out of her grown.
"I hope I don't embarrass by self ".
she went into the bathroom and came out half an hour later. She put on a pale green grown, sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair, she powder her face and applied red paint to her lips picking up some fancy pins, she clip them to her and for the final touch, she wore a diamond necklace around her exposed neck.
soft voices were heard below the stairs, four girls were seated at the end of the stair chatting lazily when they heard light footsteps raising their heads, it was Aure.
"you woke up early" a girl named Edith spoke first." considering your low alcohol resistance"
"Good morning girls " Aureha greeted them with a polite tone.
"good morning" another one with blonde hair greeted her.
"look ivy she finally wore the grown sir Markus brought for her" Arabella pointed out.
"Well, I could not leave it lying in my cupboard utterly useless" as she flaunts her hips to the side.
"I must say he doesn't have bad taste, "ivy said standing up "let me check if breakfast is ready"
"it's because he's coming to visit madam Peggy right," the blonde hair girl named Janette said as a matter of fact.
A smile crept to her face "why not gain his attention a little"playing with the stairs railings. it was no secret that sir Markus had feelings for her and with the years that flew by, his is trying to woo her but she rejected him countless times since she was not yet ready for marriage.
"Well don't carry your charade too long, you know sir Markus is a good man you could fall for him in the process you know," Janette said raising her eyebrows.
Aureha chuckled as if listening to a joke "people don't just fall in love jane, he has to do more than give me pricey items for me to notice him".
"and what should he do?" Arabella ask.
"I don't know, maybe take me out on a date or something his a man he should know what women want" she shushed.
"well make up your mind before he loses interest and pursues another" not wanting her friend to get hurt in the process.
Soon ivy returned "breakfast is served guys, come on let's go" she turned to face Aureha
"madam Peggy request your presence in the hall room".
"do you know why madam is calling for her ivy? " Arabella with a hopeful look.
"like she's going to tell me," she remark rudely as she continued moving forward with her head high up.
As she got to the hall room she saw madam Peggy supervise the servant as everyone one seen busy. "careful not to drop that it's very expensive " she said to the two of the servants that were moving the Chandelier. "it's going to take the whole day with the pace your moving" she sight out.
Aureha just shook her head "madam Peggy you're stressing yourself out," she hugged her.
"I can't help it, if I don't then we all slack around" she held Aureha by the hand "come Iets go somewhere with less noise, I have something to discuss with you ."
They now stood in one of the hallways behind a pillar"the newsletter came this morning" she paused and continued "Mr. Foster's daughter is dead "she stared at Aureha searching for any change of emotions
"and..."
"you didn't do anything right, "she asked carefully
"If you're implying I did something then no" she replied not liking where the conversation was heading.
"she was last to seem at lady's vera mansion and you were there ".
"Trust me madam Peggy I wasn't the one that killed her, and I have no reason to kill her". And it was true she did not even know the vampiress personally."and I was there because you ask me to go " she reminded her.
" you know her family is extremely influential so if you did anything tell me now before it goes beyond me."
"put your uneasiness at rest this has nothing to do with me " she touched the woman's shoulders.
