Erick could not help himself but laugh when he saw Theodore's high enthusiasm––his boyfriend who had just fully recovered after an attack from a bastard who now could no longer hurt him after Karl killed him, that he had already prepared a flight ticket to Madrid for four days. Like now, dragging him to shop in one of the biggest shopping malls in Waterford city, reasoning he wants to buy new clothes and luggage. The reason he could understand was that in his entire life, his boyfriend had never set foot out of the Waterford area.
It did not matter to him. As long as he could still see the big smile on the man's face, who always managed to distract his world from anything. Making his attention only focused on the man, who was now inviting him to enter Valentino's boutique. He enjoyed every second of his time with Theo, looking at the serious, considerate face of the man as he chose what clothes to wear."Uh, Eric, hello! You didn't forget to takStephen was outside the empty room that turned the function into the Gavin treatment room, close up all his hands anxiously. He was not thinking about Gavin's condition, as the medical teams already told him that Gavin should be getting better soon. But he was anxious, thinking about Nikki, which he still had no updates about her condition after the woman chose to accept William, and he did not get any news from Karl yet.He continued to stare at his legs, violating his stupidity because he had felt intimidated by a strong werewolf aura from William Schneider. He should be beating the man instantly, so there would be no chance for the man to get Nikki. So he could still see Nikki, which might be currently beside him, smiling softly with her angelic smile that similar to the painting of Rennaissance.But in fact, the woman was not with him right now. Not beside him. She was not here to scolding him––even though he doubted the last part because he had n
"You must be joking with me, right? No way!"Nora now puffed out her cheeks with her arms crossed in front of her chest, sitting unhappily on the couch. Dressed in an oversized grey sweater, short blonde hair (which he remembered very clearly was not being Nora's hairstyle but whatever), short jeans that showed off her long legs to made her looked tall despite the fact that she was short, Nora glared at the two of them, answering his and Karl's request with a quick shake of her head."I can not do something risky. Do not wanna do that. Nora doesn't want to get involved in such a complicated business."Karl played with his hands, dispelling his confusion at hearing Nora's rejection. “But my girlfriend is in danger––”“I will also be in danger if I comply with your request. What payment can I get if I help you guys to save the human girl that you said named Veronica Darren?”"How about
It had been two hours since William had locked her in the room. She had to admit that this room met her taste. A pair of house slippers in the shape of a sheep's head. A room with the same decoration as the Versailles style. Soft and big mattress. Dressing table full of skincare and light makeup. She did not know how William knew, but it did suit her taste.Even in the bathroom, she could find a series of facial skincare for sensitive skin––the type that was the safest to buy for a gift if the buyer still did not know the exact skin type of the recipient. The items there were filled with the scent of a mixture of various flowers that unfamiliar to her, yet made her feel so calming.Now, she heard two knocks on the door, followed by the door opening, revealing the figure of Willia
The coffin turned out to have a transparent lid, so she could clearly see what was inside the coffin. She gasped, covered her mouth with both hands and took a few steps back in surprise when her eyes saw clearly the condition of the corpses of the people William called as his parents. Their bodies did not decompose as normal corpses would look. It looked like it was preserved by embalming technique or whatever it was called. Their expressions at the time of their death were terrifying, full of desperation, begging whoever attacked them to grant them forgiveness.“They were humans who wanted to take me in when I fell into my elder werewolves pack, who were afraid of my immortality and had to be a slave for years. Repeatedly changing masters, until finally, it was the two of them who gave me the freedom I hadn't felt in a long time. With them, I learned many things. They don't even
“Welcome, Veronica Darren. Nice to finally meet you.”A girl in an oversized grey sweater and short light blonde hair stood before them with a satisfied smile etched on her face. Her expression looked much more mature than her cute face. Still confused to find the presence of a girl who seemed to be twelve years old in a room that was only lit by lamplight with a strange electric current surrounding them. Karl and Stephen took their arms away from her, breathed a sigh of relief as they got up from where they were, helping her up too."Ah, I know this face," said the girl, not hiding the irritation on her face. "Nora Lavender. Just call me Nora. And for your information, I'm much older than your boyfriend, Veronica Darren."Her eyes blinked at Nora's answer, not expecting that behind Nora's cute appearance there was a curt reply from that woman."Sorry," she said, looking down wearily. “I didn't mean…”
Bianca caught a glimpse of her brother from outside the glass boutique door, engrossed in choosing clothes while Erick was behind her brother. Seeing the happy face of her older brother, who seemed enthusiastic about their four-day vacation, was more than enough to make her felt happy too. For the first time, she did not see the gloomy face of her older brother, always serious about the work he devoted wholeheartedly but never appreciated in the slightest by all the subordinates of the Pedrosa clan, as well as other clan members because of his status as an illegitimate child. The vampire clan, so to speak, still had a fairly conservative view of relationships outside of marriage, although they did not mind gender in their lives as much as humans do.But tradition? If the vampire clan could compare to religions, then, she could say vampires were like Catholic or Orthodox Ju
Erna was scared right now. Screaming, hugging Alec's body which was slowly losing his warmth from the blood that kept gushing out from the wounds on the man's neck and chest while trying to protect her from the attacks of someone she did not know. Her tears continued to flow, finding Alec's eyes were closed. It gave her a calm expression that she did not want to see from him right now.Not. For God's sake, she never wanted any of this to happen to her. This was out of her plan. Her plan for today should be simple; she wanted to spend her time taking him out to hang out, buying him new clothes––as she had promised to Alec a while ago. Ask the guy to pick out what to wear for their next date. She had even planned their date in advance, also imagining what their next date would be like. She would rediscover the Alicia in Alec once again, like when she asked Alec to wear her clo
“Sorry for coming late to save you, Erna. I never hope this day would happen to you,” said Bianca again. She could hear Bianca's sincere, regretful tone as she said it."Bianca! Wait at your place, you moron!”She heard the sound of someone screaming again, this time coming from two men running from a distance to her best friend. The first man was of Asian blood whom she did not know, while the second man had a facial structure that at first glance was similar to Bianca's, but with a calmer, mature, and elegant demeanour. The two men then looked at the figure who attacked her earlier, squealing in annoyance to find the existence of the attacker earlier, which also seemed that their existence was not wanted by the two men. Then their attention turned to her. The Asian-looking man immediately approached he
“Montessa! Is the time spell ready?”Bianca called out to Montessa as she ran up to Montessa. He played with the glocks still in his hand, then returned them to Montessa. “Thank you for wanting to lend me your weapon.”"Yes. Already!" On Montessa's right, a dimensional portal appears that is the same as Nora's, but has a lighter colour. Montessa's eyes turned to the soldiers who were now running like crazy after stuffing the glocks into their pockets. "What's wrong with them? What did you do to them?”"It's not the important thing you should be thinking about," Bianca patted Montessa on the shoulder. "Can we go in now? I hope your spell won't throw us into the wrong timeline.”“Hey, what you said hurts you know!” Montessa defended herself. “I always succeed in casting my spells when it comes to time magic. “And yes, it is safe. We're going back to the 21st century.”"Good," he turned his head back, looking at Erna's figure standing behind him.Erna's hand gripped his hand tightly, vis
Can they say that the mission was a success or not? That question kept popping up in Bianca's mind again and again as they ran to avoid the pursuit of the royal guards. In front of her, Montessa ran along with Felicia Chen, whom they managed to release from prison. All she knew, for now, was that she couldn't let go of Erna's wrist, which was running behind her. “How much longer we should wait!?” she shouted at Montessa, who was in front of her. "What?! I didn't hear your question, Pedrosa!” Montessa called back to Bianca, then turned his gaze back to the front as he saw more and more royal troops chasing the two of them. “I'm trying to recover my magic energy! Buy some more time!” “Easy for you to say, old man!” Bianca pulled Erna into her arms when she saw one of the royal troops trying to cut Erna with his sword. She parried the sword using his leg kick and threw the sword so that it stuck into one of the trees around the forest path. “Montessa! Lend me some weapons! There are
Karl hummed happily and fell in love with the new magic sword Alec had created for him. The sword that belonged to his grandfather, which he gave to Nora in exchange for Veronica's safety (he did not regret his decision at the time), he could indeed use without the slightest problem. But in all aspects, the sword was out of character for him.First, in terms of design. He was actually not a fan of swords that had lots of carvings on them. His taste was very different from his grandfather's sword, which has that element. In terms of the magical energy that can be absorbed by the magic sword inherited from his grandfather, there was not much the sword could absorb from his energy, because the sword inherited from his grandfather tended to use the emotions of its user.When his grandfather was still alive, his grandfather was the type of person who was easily provoked by anger. That disposition of his was also justified by his life principle of glorifying the dragon race. From the pas
Until an hour ago, they were still at Alec's house, trying out the new magic weapon Alec created.But right now, he and Karl and Stephen are busy helping Alex and Nicholas to kill the monsters that come to Alec's house.The monster was like Alec's description a while ago while visiting Pedrosa's residence. He had never come face to face with a monster created by William Schneider, so he was very surprised to see the real shape of the monster.He slashed one of the heads of the monsters that were about to attack him with their canine teeth. Their blood spurted out, hitting his body, emitting a strange hiss.There was a feeling of pity in him as he looked at the corpse of the monster in front of him. Recalling what Karl had said about the origins of the monsters, he felt some sympathy. In the past, these monsters had a quiet life.If it weren't for William Schneider, they might still be enjoying their quiet lives right now...A feeling of hatred for William Schneider welled up inside Ve
William tapped his fingers nervously on his desk. Currently he was in his office at the university where Veronica Darren studied, with an irritated and bored expression.He didn't care about the rows of work piled up on his desk. Or the list of files in his email when he turns on his computer as soon as he enters his study.Or the attention of the students who tried to approach him. Or also the fact that at work, there are so many bouquets of flowers, snacks, or gift boxes of various sizes filling the room.He didn't care about that.All he cared about was Veronica Darren's presence. But since two weeks ago, that woman has not been on campus at all, nor has she attended any of her classes. Even though the woman submitted her course work via e-mail about three days ago.Where has Veronica gone? What happened to Veronica not to show her nose on campus? Even though he had gone to great lengths to infiltrate the university as a lecturer so he could approach Veronica.Now, he felt like an
Don't do anything flashy, huh?Both Erna and Bianca looked at Montessa with deep eyes. Because of Montessa's stupidity that didn't estimate the risks that would occur if she went straight to the prison, the royal guards immediately arrested the three of them and took them to a room in the prison building.There were no windows around where they were, so all they could do was guess how long they had been there. There were only flaming torches hanging on the walls to illuminate the place.Even more annoying, the room was so damp and smelly, that it was difficult for him to feel comfortable staying in this place for a long time. He even admired the fighting spirit of the people who used to languish in this prison.Across the prison they were in, there was an old woman with a shabby appearance who kept cursing in a language she didn't understand towards the prison guards who were passing through the corridors of the prison."I didn't expect that the plan I made would end like this," Monte
Erna's eyes narrowed, looking intently at Bianca who was running excitedly along the path in the forest. Montessa suggested that they change into what people of the time they are currently in, so the man cast a spell to change their clothes.She was dressed in a duchess outfit that was so sparkling, dark blue in color and looked so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off of the dress she was wearing.But that wasn't what made it hard to focus on the mission this time. But because of Bianca. His girlfriend was wearing a 15th century gentleman's suit. Clothes that seemed to be created just for Bianca to wear, even though she knew that Montessa changed Bianca's clothes into men's clothes because she always forgot the fact that Bianca was a woman.Bianca didn't protest at all, of course. He knew that Bianca liked the androgynous appearance despite her always claiming to be a fully woman, so he shouldn't be surprised to see Bianca's current appearance.Yet, she found herself falling
She regretted her decision.She meant, she really regretted it.Erna looked at the environment around her with uncertain feelings. She was no longer in the 21st century with the technology and practicality offered by that century. But they were now around five centuries ago when technology and the internet were not yet available and witch hunts were still a common practice."It looks like we've come to the right time."Right now, Montessa was proudly standing to her right, using his magic to brush away the dirt and grime from his clothes. The man did not even pay attention to the fact that thanks to his goddamn time dimension magic, she and Bianca fell flat on the ground until their clothes were all dirty.Montessa did not even tell them or give any signal that they were going to land in the middle of the forest. Montessa only asked them to jump into the time dimension magic as soon as the man finished casting the spell.Yesterday he decided to agree to Montessa's offer by becoming th
Karl responded to Stephen's words with a low laugh. "Actually, there's something I don't understand." "Yes?" “Why did you make me a magic weapon? Moreover, from my knowledge, ordering magic weapons from the Berthold family is very expensive…” “In my opinion, the lives of living things are more expensive and valuable than the Berthold family's magic weapons,” Karl shoved his hands into his trouser pockets. “For me, you and Karen are the most important people in my life. I already consider you like my own family, and I know you love Karen too.” "I …" "Don't deny it, Steve. How long do you think I know you?" Karl looked up at the ceiling of the room. “Our current situation is so chaotic. War. The problem of racism in the Dragon clan. A showdown between vampire families. Somehow it feels like there are so many problems coming our way that I can't spare my spare time to go on a date with Karen. It sucks…” "I feel guilty too," Stephen said. “Last time I asked Nikki out, my brother cam
