Chapter 58
I still can’t manage to move my body from where I am now standing, Kiloy helped me stand up earlier when I lost my balance and all of a sudden fell on the ground due to panic. Gon, for real, is a huge dragon. Our size is definitely just a small part of it, we’re just the same size as its foot.
“W-Wait, y-you forgot to immediately mention earlier to me that G-Gon is actually a dragon, Tonette.” I complained to her while I am hiding behind Dralia right now as if I am a child scared of a ghost.
“Come on, Harris. Gon is kind, and he is our friend. He is not as if trying to hurt us or does something harmful to us. So, you better stop what you’re doing and get out of there behind me.” I don’t have a choice, but to move next to Dralia’s side, but I still couldn’t help myself to panic and be nervous thinking so much at what the massive dragon that was in front of us today would do to
Chapter 59 Even if we were still at the gate to the kingdom of Dralia and Tonette, I was sweating profusely. Who wouldn’t sweat if you were already in the kingdom of the person you love, for how many years ago. Only now can I get to know Dralia’s parents in person. I am a bit nervous but I can still manage to calm myself and will not try to make any kind of awkward first impressions. Only Manang Antopina was the only one I knew who took care of Dralia back then. Then I also knew then that manang was not Dralia’s real parent. But even that is the case, I could still clearly see how much Manang loved and cared for Dralia so much, and also how she raised my girlfriend now to be kind. She did great, to be honest. The girl whom I love since has a kind heart for everyone, may it be a vampire or other races. A proof that she was raised well.When I had a chance to step foot in this place the last time, Dralia had not yet been accepted
Chapter 60 And now, Dralia and Tonette’s parents and I have already met in person. And at the same time, I finally had a chance to see again our trusted housemaid back then. Before we entered the palace, my nervousness before we entered the palace was at least covered by my too much happiness upon seeing Manang again alive and well. Manang Antopina was the one who first resigned from the hug, while I did nothing but tried to stop the tears that wanted to escape from my eyes. With every massage of the lady’s hand, everything from the past seemed to occur in my mind again as if it was fresh, happy, and worthy to remember memories. I remember the past, I remember the times my parents were still alive and kicking. I know that was a long time ago and accepted the fact that I can’t go back to the past or turn back time to encounter or experience again the normal life I had before. But there is no denying that I miss my parents very much. My heart longs to s
Chapter 61 We were just eating quietly at the table after Sir Dracu offered us food and made us feel comfortable. We all enjoyed the food, and at the same time the atmosphere in the dining table since we don’t have to be shy and feel the awkwardness in front of Dralia and Tonette’s parents for they welcomed us wholeheartedly and warmly in the palace. When we finished eating, Dralia’s mother approached me and talked to me. The first thing that came to my mind was how would I deal with Dralia’s mother? How am I going to open up to her comfortably? I might make a mistake every time I open my mouth. And that would be embarassing for me and for Dralia at the same time. But at this moment, all I cared is how I can make a good impression to them. That’s more important. For them to like me for their beloved daughter. “Harris, Son.” It cleared it’s throat first after saying my name. “Yes?” I turned to face the lady then paid respect by bowing my head.
Chapter 62Tita Delia cleared her throat first before starting to tell the story. Tita Delia rested one foot on the floor while sitting on the long sofa in their spacious living room. I would never have imagined that a family like this, would have its own palace. If they are really living in town and then a pure human beings, people will definitely be jealous of them and talk about them. Just consider the size of their residence, it would possibly the talk of the town.“Your home looks expensive and elegant, Tita. If you really live in town, you will definitely be the talk of the town.” I smiled and turned my eyes to Tita when my eyes got tired already of looking around the house and praising each part of it, in fact, it wasn’t really tiring to look at all, I was just overwhelmed by the height of the ceiling. Now I just noticed how beautiful the chandelier is, so elegant!“Oh, Hijo. It’s
Chapter 63My laugh as well as Dralia’s filled the living room, we were both left here since her mother was being called by Sir Dracu. After we moved on from the subject we were laughing about earlier, Dralia all of a sudden noticed that the two,Kiloy and her younger sister, Tonya, were nowhere to be found.“By the way, where are the two?” She asked.“Who? Kiloy and Tonya?” My reply to her to confirm my guess.“Yes, I haven’t seen both of them right now. Where are they? Do you know?” She asked the second time.“They are outside, playing.” I simply answered.“Playing? Is Tonya still playing given with her age?” She asked again confusedly.“Of course, she is. Why? Is she not allowed to play?” I asked back teasing her.“That is not forbidden, isn’t it? Then another thing, Tonya and I were just the same back then. I&rsqu
Chapter 64Dralia and I now tour the entire palace, as what she had promised me earlier that she will accompany me while I am having my time wandering around their home. Every time we pass by on a particular part or room in this palace, I am for real wowed and overwhelmed owing to the fact that it is just now I had given the chance to see beautiful and extravagant objects that I never had seen during my time as a pure human being. I am really amazed at the things they use here. I haven’t seen things like this before that is why I feel naived.Everyone who will get to see this palace and everything in it will surely feel the same way as how I feel right now. I can’t find the exact words to say to describe how I am privileged to see such wonderful things. Everything is really new to me. The modern technology they have is really obvious. All I can see are things for which technology runs. There are those kinds, I don’t know w
Chapter 65Dralia and I have been chasing each other for a couple of minutes now. None of us wanted to lose so we didn’t let each other have the opportunity of running away again and again. I could clearly see how Dralia tried to get away from my grasp and ran hurriedly as much as possible. I laughed at how much Dralia was catching her breath, as well as I was gasping for breath at the same time. But I was still running as of the moment when Tonette and Kiloy suddenly joined us seeing that Dralia and I enjoyed chasing each other right now. Kiloy transformed into his werehorse being earlier, that is why Tonette was now riding behind Kiloy. I continued to notice Dralia’s eyebrow meeting.“Tonya! Get down there behind Kiloy! That’s not a good thing for a woman to do. I thought you weren’t young anymore? Why doesn’t your awkwardness seem to go away?” Dralia scolded her younger sister who was still catching he
Chapter 66It was late in the afternoon, almost dusk actually, when both parents of Dralia and Tonette approach us. So Dralia’s parents approached us, with Tonette with them, to accommodate us to our each room. And they are too kind to take us to our rooms as well.“Tonya, your room has been cleaned already. You can go in there now and rest, but first get dressed because you smell awful, you are sweating too much.” Aunt Delia suggested to her, while Tonette’s face now frowning upon hearing Aunt Delia’s tease.“Mother, you are so rude,” Tonette replied as if denying the fact. Her older sister, on the other hand, glared at her. As if ordering her to just go and get dressed up instead of complaining.“It’s annoying, for real. I feel like I am still a child.” Its weak complaints as it leaves our seat. Tonette really is acting like a child. I laughed at the thought but just in my mind
Chapter 78We lost sight of the strange cloud we saw earlier, and instead of looking for that strange cloud, we just ignored it in the end, seeing that if we choose our curiosity over our mission, it might slow down our journey. Curiosity kills, as others would say. We just tell and make ourselves believe that maybe that strange cloud we saw just does not exist for real. Or maybe we did not see it in a clear view. What’s important now is our mission, nothing else would matter most. And maybe the three of us just see it as something unusual but not in the actual.“Won’t you still stop waiting for that strange cloud to come out again, Brother Harris, and Kiloy? Because if you’ll ask me if I were you, just don’t bother to disturb that cloud anymore. It is a waste of our time. Your curiosity will slow us down. That may just want our attention. And it is unworthy for real. Let’s just leave it l
Chapter 77We now continued our journey, left the river after we already satisfied our thirst, and then walked and walked to where our feet would take us. We don’t want to waste our time, since Dralia, and the whole palace including the whole vampire race needs us now. I’m just worried now on this walk of ours, what if we meet some other kingdoms again? How can we explain to them that we are not adversaries?That we don’t have any single intention to harm them and their entire kind? What if we meet some obstacles or challenges along the way that will slow down our pace? What if something will happen to us while we are busy completing our mission and do not care anymore about our safety? I have these thousands of what-ifs in my mind, but I am motivating myself to do my best through this journey, and finishing it successfully will be great.It would be nice if Dralia was given a choice to be with us right now because we did
Chapter 76We don’t have any slightest idea of where we are now, but given that we already feel tired, it only means that we are already far from where we came from, which is the palace, and we, in that far just by running and jumping as quickly as possible. Our tiredness is like killing us slowly, that is why we stopped and rested for the meantime. We need to rest of course especially that we had to use our energy that much to quickly get out from the palace unnoticed by the black vampires.It is not an easy task to do since vampires have a strong smell. That means it can smell anything, everything. You name it. This is the right timing for us to rest since the morning already arrived and we are still running and jumping around not noticing it. It slipped out from our minds since we don’t care anymore if the morning reached us. All we think about is how to get out, continue the journey even with Dralia not around unlike the usual, and most
Chapter 75How long have we been here inside the CR, just staying inside and waiting for Dralia to permit us to at least show ourselves but Tonette still doesn’t let us out. I am now even more confused about what was happening right now. What’s going on outside and why doesn’t she let us out? What is it, for real? Is Dralia still safe?Where are Tita Delia and Sir Dracu? Why are we hiding like this as if someone had just arrived and does not want to see us? I hope Kiloy and I hurried to use the bathroom earlier, it may be possible that we can still have a chance to witness or at least had a peek with the incident right at this moment outside. And maybe I could be of help just in case something bad happened outside. I just hope Dralia and her parents are still outside safe and sound.And I just hope this hiding will end in no time for I am very worried about Dralia now and wanted to see her in an instant with my two eyes.
Chapter 74We made the most out of the few hours we could spend with Dralia’s parents since we only have limited time now. The full moon is fast approaching and we should continue our journey to Del Mundo Mountains again so we could reach there right on time. As well as we still can plan our next move upon reaching there. We should hurry before it is too late. All the fellow vampires hope that we could do our mission successfully and we could save everyone, even humans from bad vampires as well.To make our stay more memorable since we only have a little time left to stay here, we had a celebration in which Dralia first informed us of the reason why we held this kind of celebration and her parents agreed to prepare for everyone. This celebration symbolizes hope for everyone that we could make it and finish our mission right on time, and a reminder to us that they trust us and we should try our best to fulfill our mission for them. It is like a fa
Chapter 73There was a sudden knock on the door. That unexpected knock made us quickly arranged ourselves properly before we answered who knocked on the door and found out who was waiting outside. After the door opened, that was the only time we had come to realize that we didn’t lock it earlier the moment we entered the room.That made my heartbeat raised faster than the actual upon realizing that we were just as calm as it was, not knowing or making sure of locking the door in the first place before doing something that would be embarrassing for the both of us if ever someone of their family, like one of her parents or maybe Tonette, who would be caught us doing awkward thing inside. We were both very careless.How idiot we were. But we didn’t blame ourselves to the fullest since we did not plan of doing it in the first place. It was just an accident for real. We were just being drowned in our emotions and that ma
Chapter 72After Tonette and I talked last night about what I had dreamed, I left her in the living room after I asked her permission to leave first, since there was nothing else to talk about and I had already collected information that I could connect piece by piece to come up a solid explanation about my dream, if it was for real or just a dream at all. There is still a part of me that wants to just keep in myself about what’s inside of my dream that night. I am half bothered but I don’t want to believe that what’s in my dream could possibly happen because I don’t what will I do or what can I do if ever. Dralia and I also talked about what happened last night. I did not have a second thought anymore on telling her about it and asking her some questions because I really wanted to know the whole truth. I told her how I felt after that dream and it never left my mind since. I have the right to know how Dralia feels about being forced by t
Chapter 71When Kiloy cried all of a sudden, he said something that opened my eyes. He seems to have mentioned the incident last night.“I’ll read it tonight, I hope there’s no noise later, just so I don’t wake up anymore or be disturb.” He said that comfortably, it seemed like he just didn’t care to say that.“What’s that again, Kiloy?” it would have been appropriate for him to leave when I stopped him.“Huh? Why Harris? ” he looked at me in surprise.“You said there was a noise last night,” I repeat I am probably very desperate to listen now, because of my question to Kiloy.Earlier I asked Tonette, now I ask Kiloy. Maybe I shouldn’t ask them about that anymore.“Ahh, it doesn’t matter, then it’s not imp ---.” I stopped speaking when he answered my question. I thought he would ignore my question to him.
Chapter 70I am now sitting by myself in the living room, and at the same time reading the books from under the table. I was just seriously reading something I didn’t even mind about the surroundings when the chair I was sitting on all of a sudden moved on its own. I was startled knowing that I am just alone in here, but why all of a sudden my chair moved even if I didn’t move it myself personally.“ Brother Harris?” I dropped the book because of shock when I realized Tonette was now by my side in an instant. It double my heartbeat upon realizing how Tonette just emerge that quickly and out of nowhere like a wild mushroom without me expecting or just sensing it myself. I tried to fix myself and asked her why went here unannounced. “W-What are you doing here?” Even if I am still startled by the thought of her being with me now
