"Clack"
Misty closed the door before she came back and sat near Rose.
"That dummy… saying things like that to an innocent girl." She harumphed.
"…" Rose bent her head even more when she heard Misty.
"tuck…" Misty playfully hit her on the forehead.
"huh…" Rose looked questionably.
"Stupid… what are you looking down for. Don't you love him as well." Misty said.
"Mmm… but… but I… I don't deserve him." Rose admitted tears falling down her eyes.
"Why…?" Misty asked, she wanted to know, but she did not want to force Rose.
"It… It's because… because I have done terrible things. My past is terrible. If I stay with him, I might end up implicating him." Rose said.
"Your past huh… What is so terrible about your past?" Misty forced a little.
"…" Rose remained silent.
Misty understood that pushing Rose even further might make it even more difficult so she decided to stop.
"Alright tell me… have you talked about your past to Hira?" She asked.
"Yes…" Rose replied.
"Then… did he say you can't be with him?" Misty asked again.
"N… No." Rose said feeling a bit better suddenly.
"Then look here woman… If Hira did not say that you can't be with him, then why are you saying that? Also, just so you know, it doesn't matter what you think, you are already in love with him, you are gonna die without him Hmph." Misty felt sour as she said that.
On the one hand was her greed to keep Hira all for herself, on the other hand she knew that Hira loved Rose, so she can't help but root for him.
"…" Rose looked at her, surprised, weren't you admonishing your authority on Hira just a few minutes ago, now here you are matchmaking between me and your husband.
Was Misty right in the head?
"What are you looking at…? Just so you know I am his first love, so I will be the senior here, you will have to follow my lead or you won't make it far young girl." Misty who understood what was going on in Rose's head made herself clear.
"Senior… You?" Rose questioned, in fact Rose was not much older than Misty her being only 26. But still it felt weird listening to someone even younger than her calling her young girl.
"Also, there is one more thing that you should know." Misty said.
"I don't know what is wrong with your past, but if Hira said he will take care of it, then you better believe he will." Misty informed.
"It's not that easy?" Rose butted in.
"What do you know… My Hira is not easy either." Misty replied.
"…" Rose fell silent.
"What…" Misty questioned.
"Our… our Hira… is not easy?" Rose questioned back.
"…"
"Hihihi… look at you trying to hog my Hira… Listen here junior sister. He is mine first, you can have him when I am not around." Misty made her claim.
"Nope… I am the younger sister, so I get to be adored more, right?" Rose said playfully.
"You… no you don't…" Misty fumbled as Rose hugged her.
"Thank you." Rose thanked her. What did she thank her for? Even she could not describe it.
…
"You are finally out…" Hira said as Misty and Rose came out of the room. Hira noticed that Rose was much more cheerful now and he smiled as well.
Then he went to Misty and kissed her lips.
"Look at my beautiful wife, you can heal people as well." He complimented.
"Hmph… of course, whenever you feel bad. Come to me, I will heal you instantly." Misty felt proud after receiving her rewards.
Rose smiled as she looked at both of them.
Then Misty nudged her to come as well, which she did immediately by hugging Hira from the other side.
"Man… this is heaven." Hira muttered with two beauties both on his side.
…
The next day, in front of a well-built mansion, two guards were lazing around when they saw a young man appear on the streets.
Suddenly they lost all their laziness and their backs straightened immediately, they still could not comprehend the horror of this young man. Yesterday, when the young man left, their master berated them for hours.
They felt like they have already spent all their lives fortune by not being killed by their master, which he would have definitely done if not for this young man telling him not to do so.
The didn't know this young man, but they were sure of one thing…
"This young master must be treated with utmost respect."
After all, he was the reason they were still alive, not to mention he was also the reason they went to the bring of death in the first place.
"Good… good morning young master, please go ahead, master has been waiting for you." One of the guards said as soon as Hira got near the gate.
"Sure… thanks." Hira said before he entered the mansion.
"This young master is so good."
Both the guards felt immense pride, not only did this young master treat them with respect which was almost impossible whenever those high and mighty young nobles come around, he also thanked them.
"I only wish I had him for our master." One of the guards commented.
"Yeah… but doesn't our master appear to have changed as well since a few days? He does not treat us as badly as he would have before." The other guard said.
"Maybe it's because of this young master." The first guard commented again.
…
"It's so nice to see you master, please have a seat." Daniel stood up from his seat, as soon as he saw Hira coming.
There was a young woman, seemingly in her late twenties, sitting beside him. She seemed a bit afraid, was she afraid of Daniel or was she afraid of Hira as she flinched when Hira looked at her.
"Master… this is my sister, Grace." Daniel introduced her to Hira who looked at her seriously.
"Grace… this is Master Hira; he is our master." Daniel told Grace, who looked at Hira for a moment before shifting her eyes at Daniel.
"Ma… Master?" She asked.
"Yes, didn't I tell you about him yesterday, now listen to master carefully, he has very important job for you." Daniel said.
"… Ye… Yes… nice to see you master." Grace fumbled as she looked at Hira who continued staring at her.
Then he smiled before taking a seat.
"So, miss Grace, is it? You did not drink the potion, did you?"
"Wh… What?" Grace's face suddenly lost all its color as soon as she heard those words.
"What… Grace you… why didn't you drink the potion?" Daniel looked at her questionably.
Grace took a step back again as her eyes drifted between Hira and Daniel.
Hira realized something wrong the moment his eyes fell on Grace and she flinched. He has been observing his abilities and he came up with certain speculations one of which was that no matter what he does or says to someone who has drank his blood, they always seem happy with him around. No matter what he says or does to them.
So how come someone who has drank his blood flinch when he appears.
There was only one reason, she was afraid of him.
