'What's this!?' An intense pain built up in her veins, and her chest became tight; she felt a sensation that seemed as if her whole body was being held captive by a warm and comfortable softness, a feeling as if the very blood flowing in her veins had changed its entire nature. "WHAT... IS... THIS?!"
"Hmmm? Are you in pain?" The handsome male called Auros asked, his face close to hers, as she felt a sense of instinct, making her realise what had happened.
'This reaction... I want his blood!? Me, a pure-blooded vampire, seeks this human...?' Her lips opened, and a fang quickly extended to strike.
"So that's your true face, hmm?" Auros said with a calm smile, looking down at her and intercepting the strike with his own. Yet he didn't use power. Instead, he lifted the bookworm off her perch and carried her like a princess.
"Kyah!?" The sudden action was surprising and confusing, leaving the duchess in a daze.
