A smile is one of the millions of things in this world that is mysterious. A smile is a symbol of happiness, and at the same time, it can also be a symbol of covering up sadness.
People smile because they feel happy, but that smile can also look torturous. A perfect contradiction.
It was this kind of smile that was now clearly visible on Michelle's lips seeing the calm face of her sister who was sleeping beside her. The chin is firm with a few fine hairs around it, the nose is sharp and seems very adonis. His regular breathing gives off a calm atmosphere.
Last night, the two siblings, who had been separated for twelve years, really let go of their longing, dominated by stories about Damien's life experiences since he first became a vampire, until he could become one of the vampire nobles like now.
Michelle now knows who Juliette Abigail is, the woman who claims to be the giver of eternal life to Damien. The woman is the last descendant of Dracula, an older race of vampires.
Yep, Juliette is the last descendant of the Dracula race, a race that is said to be the ancestor of the vampire.
The woman is above the level of all vampires because she has the blood of the first vampire ancestor. Not only that, the blood of Alucard, the ancient Dracula general who made the forbidden pact with the wasted angel Azazel was also flowing in his body. That's what makes Juliette the only pure descendant of the Dracula race that has survived until now.
Juliette is also the reason why Damien has a sword that can kill a person even with a small scratch. A sword made from the bone fragments of the king of hell, Lucifer. And no one knows the reason why Juliette gave Damien his freedom all this time.
Logically, a master would not allow his slave to move freely. They used to restrain their slaves to the limit. But Juliette, as the Dracula who turned Damien into a vampire, seems to be giving Damien as much freedom as he wants. Juliette never restrained or ordered Damien to do anything.
All of the achievements that Damien has achieved until he can stand the way he is today are purely the result of his efforts, without Juliette's help at all.
Last night, Michelle saw Damien's long-lost figure. A warm and very soft figure. Several times Damien gently stroked Michelle's hair while continuing to tell her own life experiences. Because Damien knew, Michelle didn't want to tell her anything that had happened in her life during these twelve years. It must be too painful for her.
And the most surprising thing is, Damien has never drunk human blood even a single drop.
Yep, he had never tasted it before. Somehow, but Juliette Abigail's unique blood that flows in Damien's body can make him endure the common lust that every vampire has, namely the lust for human blood. And it makes Damien not feel very thirsty for blood like other vampires.
Although no one knows how long Damien's body will last because, in truth, vampires are creatures that need human blood to survive. Coupled with the curse possessed by Damien's sword. For whatever’s sake, the moment when Damien endured his bloodlust thanks to the curse of his sword made Damien feel like he was in hell.
You could say, last night was a very precious night for both of them. Damien continued telling stories, with Michelle looking very enthusiastic about listening to every word her sister said. Until Michelle could no longer fight her sleepiness.
Even though only simple things happen and nothing else, it is those simple things that are very precious to both of them.
Michelle gently stroked Damien's still sleeping firm jaw with a smile. The girl played with her sister's face playfully, pinching Damien's cheeks and nose a little, and her fingers stopped at the chewy red flesh under Damien’s nose.
Her chest was pounding as her index finger pressed against Damien's lips. Damien's breath was still regular, indicating that the handsome man who slept in a shirtless state in front of her was still asleep.
After swallowing nervously, Michelle brought her face closer to Damien's, the closer the tighter also the pounding on her chest.
A little bit more. Little more, Michelle has succeeded in doing her wish. The girl tucked the hair that was blocking her face behind her right ear and started to close her eyes.
A little bit more.
Until Damien opened his eyes and held Michelle's lips with his index finger, making Michelle reopen her eyes with a surprised expression.
Spontaneously, Michelle turned her face back, but Damien's left hand held the back of the girl's neck.
"What is wrong?" asked Damien, their faces still close together. "Didn't you want to kiss me earlier?"
"No, I just-"
"It's not fair to steal a start while I'm asleep. Or have you forgotten that I'm a sleepless creature, unable to feel sleepiness and other feelings? Turns out you grew up to be a bad girl, Michelle."
Michelle widened her eyes even more. "Hey, I'm not that kind of girl!"
"No, you are a bad girl. You know what to do with a bad girl like you?"
Michelle was silent while frowning, staring in confusion at Damien.
Damien smiled, or you could say a grin. "That is, you must be punished."
Bathump~ ...
Hearing the word 'punished' made Michelle feel like crying. Her heart stopped beating for a split second, and her face turned deathly pale.
Damien who realized it was shocked, "Michelle, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Suddenly, tears escaped from the girl's eyes. Michelle closed her eyes in fear, her body shaking violently making Damien feel worried.
"Michelle? What happened to--"
"No, master! I'm sorry! Don't punish me! I beg of you! Please, forgive me!" Michelle whimpered in her sobs.
Daniel tries to grab Michelle's cheek, "Mich--"
"I beg of you! Please, stop! Don't punish me again!"
Instantly, Michelle screamed hysterically, making Ginny open the door to Michelle's room and immediately dashed in.
"My lord, please leave Lady Michelle alone. I'll take care of her."
Michelle also rebelled from Damien's arms, making Damien move away and move, changing positions with Ginny who is now sitting on the bed holding Michelle's body tightly.
"Forgive me, master! Please, forgive me! I can't stand the punishment anymore!" whined Michelle who was now crying in Ginny's arms, still with her eyes closed.
"Mich--" said Damien who tried to grab Michelle's hand, but Ginny held Damien's hand, making him confused.
"I'm sorry my lord, but it looks like Michelle needs time, so please, leave her alone. You must understand what Michelle is going through," said Ginny with a serious look. Damien understood the meaning of the glare Ginny was giving him at this time. With a heavy heart, Damien left the two of them.
10 | A L E X I S ' SI N N O C E N C E*** "What's wrong?" Reinhard asked as his wooden sword clashed with Damien’s wooden sword, and their movements came to a halt. "Your movements are unusual. Have you grown old, lord pale skin?" Damien was silent. His gaze was intense but, Reinhardt knew his mind wasn't here. Reinhard parried his sword and quickly swung his sword from top to bottom, making a deadly vertical chopping motion and violently landing it on Damien's head. Unexpectedly, Damien did not seem to be trying to dodge Reinhard's attack at all, breaking the wooden sword. Reinhard exhaled in annoyance and threw the wooden sword in his right hand onto the ground. "Looks like my sense of practice is lost if I have to fight a useless statue like you." The
11 | A B O U TW E R E W O L V E S( P A R T 1 )***After all the preparations were finished, Alexis stepped out of her room. In her right hand held the handle of a scythe that was bigger than her own body. Alexis supports the scythe on her back while one free hand plays her fingers on her phone screen. The girl is still curious about things that make men less excited. While diving in internet searches, the girl continued to walk towards the back of Damien's magnificent mansion that she had been living in. Behind the house, Damien was ready with his mystical sword attached to his waist, while Reinhardt was checking his mystical weapon, which was shaped like a sniper rifle used during the Second World War. Reinhardt looked at Alexis with an unfriendly gaze. "Did you have probl
12 | A B O U TW E R E W O L V E S( P A R T 2 )*** "I'm lazy to explain one by one. However, the thing that affects it the most is the level of a vampire. A vampire's rank is determined by his fighting ability. Having great fighting strength means that the vampire has a strong virus within his body. The power of the virus is what affects the success in turning other creatures into vampires." Alexis and Reinhardt nodded their heads, feeling they understood what Damien had just explained. "Also, no matter how strong a vampire is, if he turns a human into a vampire with his virus, then that person will only have a power level below that vampire." Reinhardt frowned, "That means Juliette was indeed much stronger than you from the start?"&nbs
13 | C A R R Y O N T H E H U M A N ' S P O P U L A T I O N ? *** Michelle woke up from her slumber. Ever since she heard Damien say the word 'must be punished', Michelle's trauma about her being used as a toy by the vampire who became her master seemed to strike back at the poor girl's mind. Maybe Damien just accidentally said those words, but Michelle's psychic trauma can't be used as a joke. Even though Damien didn't know it. But it's only natural. With years of being made 'cattle' by these depraved vampires, Michelle really feels like living in hell. Michelle got out of bed, walked to the bedroom door, and opened it. Without looking at the clock, Michelle knew that it was ve
14 | H U N T I N G V I N C E N T ( P A R T 1 ) *** Slasssshhhh~... A single swing of Alexis's scythe cut the two vampires apart and turned them straight to ashes. "Th-that's a mystical weapon! This girl is an intruder! Kill her!" Alexis showed off her trademark innocent expression to the few vampires that charged towards her. "Are you uncles going to attack a girl like me at the same time like this? Now I'm confused, can I still call you Uncles or Aunts?" The battle between Alexis and dozens of vampires who filled the front yard of Vincent's mansion was unavoidable. With movements that seem soft but deadly, Alexis seems to be dancing with the scythe which is he
15 | H U N T I N G V I N C E N T ( P A R T 2 ) *** Reinhard took out a box of chewing gum. Maybe it's just the wrapper that looks like an ordinary box of candy. However, in reality, it wasn't candy, but a pill has given by Damien to be used in a critical condition. These pills are made from the fermentation of a dangerous virus mixed with various chemicals. In other words, the virus that came from the noble-level vampire they had once hunted, was fermented with other chemicals that he found in the royal lab. Taking one pill can increase the strength of the body up to two times. But the effect only lasts for ten minutes. Eating two of them can increase strength up to four times. As well as multiples, eating three gum
16 | H U N T I N GV I N C E N T( P A R T 3 )*** Reinhard helped Alexis treat her wound with bandages and some kind of medical fluid that could stop the bleeding. Even though the bleeding had stopped, the exhaustion after fighting the pain could still be felt. Both Alexis and Reinhard were in a bad state to continue fighting. The two of them decided to wait for Damien in the car.
17 | H U N T I N G V I N C E N T ( P A R T 4 ) *** Vincent gulped wine and leaned back in his soft chair. "Actually, these three gentlemen want to overthrow their leader. And I will lend them power. In exchange, I will gain the right to exploit fifty percent of the number of humans who now live in werewolf territory." "Leader? You mean the king of the werewolves, Aaron Coldnight?" Swunggg~... Clanggg~... A werewolf lunged at Damien and tried to land its claws. But luckily, Damien managed to parry it with his sword. "Don't you dare say that bastard's name in front of me!" "Hey, calm down. If you're alone, you definitely won't be able to take down Damien," said Vincent, smiling a nasty smile.
102 | C A S K E Y V S W O U T E R ( P A R T 2 ) *** Caskey, who heard that Wouter would not use his full strength, stopped his attack. "Why did you stop? Have you lost the will to fight?" Caskey was silent for a moment. And after he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly through his respiratory tract, Caskey had returned to his human form. Caskey tilted his head to the left and right alternately to slightly relax the muscles in his neck. "For a moment, when you released your power earlier, I thought that you too were a vampire, just like Damien. But I sensed something else. Your aura doesn't match the aura of humans or vampires, especially for a werewolf." "What do you really want to talk about?
101 | C A S K E Y V S W O U T E R ( P A R T 1 ) *** Regis walked out of the hall in a very annoying mood right after Aaron left the palace banquet. "Just you wait, rotten vampire. No matter what your relationship with the king is, I'll chop you up alive! This place isn't a place where a disgusting vampire like you can roam freely." Reinhard, who had just managed to get out of the crowd of girls who were the children of the invited guests who were also present at the banquet in the werewolf royal palace was now outside the hall. He saw Regis walking towards the place where he had parked his car. Seeing that made Reinhard smile. Of course, he wanted to gain experience fighting against someone who could repulse Damien on the
100 | D A M I E N M E E T S A A R O N ( P A R T 2 ) *** Today is Reinhard and Caskey's appointment as students and personal guards of Aaron Coldnight, the werewolf king. They wore tuxedo suits provided by the royal party. Reinhard was grateful that the royal taste was not as
99 | E N T E R I N G T H E W E R E W O L F R O Y A L P A L A C E T E R R I T O R Y *** Vanessa dropped Caskey in the border area of the gate and hugged her beloved child. After saying goodbye, Vanessa left Caskey on the side of the main road. The reason she leaving Caskey was, first, Caskey said that he would be escorted by his friend to the werewolf royal palace. And second, because Vanessa has a business that is more important to her than taking her son to the royal palace. Yes. It was a matter of a group of socialite women who would have a meeting at her house tomorrow morning. Of course, Vanessa is not the only human w
98 | A L E X I S ' T A S K *** Today Reinhard and Damien went to the werewolf palace, and the inauguration ceremony would be held the following day. Damien was already waiting in the limousine, while Wouter, one of the four strongest generals of Damien's shadow army, sat in the driver's seat. During these few days, Wouter underwent very intense combat training with the other three strongest generals of the shadow army. Ares, Ansel, and Andrew actually fought 3 to 1 with Wouter. Damien had them do that because Wouter was a bit behind in terms of fighting ability. And as a result, after these few days, Wouter was able to fight to a draw with the three of them. In other words, Wouter was the strongest of the three. Especially with his ability to co
97 | I N V I T A T I O N F R O M T H E K I N G D O M *** Reinhard threw his dagger at Alexis. The dagger shot out at a very high speed, but Alexis didn't avoid it. She instead moved her shoulders in a circle-move like she was doing stretching movements. Alexis swung the large scythe in her h
96 | A L E X I S ' L O V E F O R D A M I E N *** Damien stepped into the downstairs corridor. On the corridor wall, Alexis leaned there with her arms crossed in front of her chest. "Can I get it too?" Damien stopped exactly one step after passing Alexis.
95 | R E I N H A R D ' S N E W P O W E R *** Reinhard woke up in his room. Not a military academy room with bunk beds and super tough mattresses, but in Damien's mansion. Damien sat on a chair not far from his bed.
94 | N E G O T I A T I O N W I T H T H E K I N G *** Aaron's eyes widened perfectly, seeing what Damien was doing who was in his Reinhard form. After being stunned after a while, Aaron laughed out loud. "
