The atmosphere outside was pretty cold. Most of the vampires shivered in fear just by stealing glances at both Arnold and Bernard's faces. Arnold and Bernard both walked elegantly, their faces showed no emotions and were straight, even their eyes were fierce. The road was cleared for both of them because no single vampire dared to stand in their way. If that ever happens, they would only end up getting hurt by Arnold and Bernard. Plus, Arnold and Bernard didn't ask for directions anymore because they had combined their powers to create a great force like never before. And with the help of the great force, they were able to recover Annie's lost scent again. “We're close, Arnold. Let's get this done properly this time”. Bernard announced and couldn't hide the smirk which suddenly appeared on his face. Arnold nodded at Bernard as he continued to walk together with him. Soon, both Bernard and Arnold wore a satisfied grin on their faces as they couldn't wait to have their reve
‘One thing I know for sure: I'm not a traitor to my Lady! And I'll never be a traitor to my lady. I won't tell you where my lady is!’. Amelia thought to herself, because she had already lost the energy to speak out. Just a moment ago, when she was about getting food for Annie, she spotted Arnold and Bernard– but suddenly, her body strangely stiffed, making it difficult for her to move. And because she wasn't able to run, she was attacked by Bernard, who blasted her with his power and sent her flying up in the midair– until her body hit the ground. Ever since then, Bernard had been torturing her while demanding Annie's whereabouts. "Amelia!!!". A panicked voice echoed, causing everyone to stare at whom the voice belonged to. There was horror in Annie's face as she rushed over and knelt beside Amelia. Seeing Amelia in this miserable state made Annie angry to the core. Her killing instinct suddenly became active and the veins in her neck popped out. With a darkened face and fierce
A minute later, Annie left with Amelia. That was when Bernard and Arnold struggled, and finally – they rose up. Ethan got up too and immediately ran to Mila's side. He carried her and was breathing heavily since her health wasn't stable. To be fair, this should be the second to third time today– that Mila was being brutally hit– by Annie. “Aria, don't be a weakling and get up! Go get a healer for your mother, immediately! After that, find your big brother and have him return home!”. Ethan ordered before he hurriedly left with his wife, who he was carrying in his arms. After hearing her father's words, Aria groaned in pain and stood up. She didn't waste time and ran to do what her father had ordered her to do. Bernard and Arnold saw the road which Annie had followed, so they also passed through there. Their hands were placed on their injured chests as they walked side by side. It wasn't long, and for the first time ever, they arrived at Annie's own manor, which was also connec
Annie went outside her manor. She was about to remove the barrier she had set– when, suddenly, she noticed both Arnold and Bernard's presence. “Gosh, won't these two give up and leave me alone?”. Annie muttered in annoyance, as she was already tired of those two vampires. Annie knew that if she removed the barrier she had set, then both Arnold and Bernard would come inside her manor for sure. And at the same time, she was hungry and must pass through the barrier to get to the food storage. “What am I going to do? I don't have enough strength to fight anyone again”. Annie muttered once more. She wanted to give up and return inside, but thinking about how she'd sleep with an empty stomach– caused her stomach to growl even more hungry than before. After sighing deeply, Annie began thinking, ‘If I used this front entrance, they'd surely know that the barrier had been removed. But, if I jump through the side wall, they won't know’. After thinking, Annie nodded her head. Before Anni
Annie spent many minutes reading the 'spell book', and wow, she loved it. Like, everything written in the book was just so unreal to her. After many minutes had passed, Annie made a decision to go up into the mountains and find ingredients for the external healing potion. “Amelia, I've told you for the last time, you're not going to follow me to the mountains. You're still hurt. Just stay here, and my strong barrier will keep you safe”. Annie furrowed her eyebrows after she had said. Amelia was being so stubborn. “Bu- but my Lady, I won't feel okay with you going up to the mountains. Please, just let me follow you”. Amelia pleaded and wasn't ready to back down no matter what. “Remember, before your Mom left this world, I promised her that I'd look after you and protect you”. Amelia added. Annie stared at Amelia from head to toe before she thought to herself, ‘You, protect me? Look at this little girl’. After thinking, Annie said to Amelia, “I'm older than you, so I'm the one who'
On their way to the mountains, Amelia was feeling extremely bothered. She badly wanted to ask Annie, who was in front of her, a question. Annie was a strong vampire, and because of this, she was able to read Amelia’s inner emotions. Without bothering to look at Amelia, she asked her, “What is it, Amelia? Why are you troubling yourself?”.Amelia was surprised because of Annie's question. ‘How did lady Annie know I was troubled?’. She mused. She didn't want to keep Annie waiting, causing her to reply, “My lady, I don't understand. Why did you make those suggestions to the advisors of Lord Davis? They are dangerous. So, why would you allow someone dangerous to stay with us in the manor?”. A sudden smile appeared on Annie's face after listening to Amelia's curious questions. She understood what was in Amelia's mind, and equally understood her fears. “Amelia, let me ask you a question”. Annie said to her. She stopped walking and turned to face Amelia, who was behind her, before she aske
“Ouch! That hurts!”. Annie exclaimed and was massaging her forehead that had hit the forehead of the other person. The guy who Annie had crashed into was also massaging his forehead. He hissed and frowned because he felt a sharp pain in his head. His hand was on his forehead while he said to Annie, “Didn't you see me before you crashed into me, young lady? Is there something wrong with your eyes? I'm now injured, and it's all thanks to you alone”. Annie marvelled after being blamed by the guy who was about her age. She positioned both her hands on her waist and was staring at him in disbelief. “Why are you blaming me? What about you? What happened to your eyes? Didn't you see me? Why did you crash into me? Now because of you, my forehead hurts like crazy!”. “You!”. The handsome guy pointed a finger at Annie. Being scolded by the guy prompted Annie to confidently raise her chin, before she replied to him, “Yes, me what?!”. Amelia was helplessly watching the two, who were busy arg
As Annie and Amelia arrived in the forest, they began to search for wild berries, which was apparently the last ingredient they needed. It didn't take them more than an hour, and they found many wild berry trees. Annie couldn't wait for Amelia, because Amelia was slower than she at plucking the wild berries. So, she climbed one of the wild berry trees, and plucked as many wild berries as she could.But come to think of it, wasn't Amelia's slowness due to her external injuries? “My lady, the wild berries are enough. It's plenty, and they cannot all be used for the potion”. Hearing what Amelia said to her, caused Annie to go down from the tree without hesitation. She couldn't wait to return to the manor, because she wanted a quick bath. Her body was very sweaty and dirty! And she hated that so much. “Gather all the wild berries, Amelia. We're leaving after that”.“I'm on it, my lady”. Amelia replied and giggled, before she went to do as she had been ordered. Lord Ethan's manor,Th
With only 18 minutes left, Morris prepared the potion as fast as he could. A faint smile appeared on his pale face as he stared at the potion which he was holding in his hands.Exactly when Morris the healer was about to feed the potion to Mila, who was unconscious, Ethan snatched the potion from his hand, and there was also a darkened expression on Ethan's face. “You can leave now, healer. I'll feed the potion to my wife by myself”. Ethan declared. “But-”. Morris immediately stopped talking because of the way Ethan was glaring at him. He bowed his head at Ethan and said, “I’ll take my leave now”. After Morris left Mila's room, Ethan went and sat down on the bed next to Mila. He fed her the potion, and even though she was currently unconscious, she drank it all. Ethan kept the cup aside and was deep in thought, as a result of what happened a few minutes ago. {Earlier}Annie halted and turned to Ethan. She had a proud smile on her face as she said to him, “I'll say this once, E
Morris was feeling anxious, but he had to compose himself so that they would stop staring at him with suspicious eyes. He said calmly, “Lord Ethan, I am simply worried about Madam Mila because time is running out. Nothing else”. Ethan sighed deeply. He gritted his teeth and frowned, as he quarrelled with Morris, “I know that time is running out, healer! But other than confronting Annie and dealing with her for causing harm to my wife, what do you want me to do?!”.“I-”. Morris didn't know what to say to Ethan. He could only grit his teeth in secret, as he began to harbor an unquenchable resentment towards Annie. “Did I hear someone mention my name? Or was I hallucinating?”. Everyone had to focus their attention on Annie, who spoke. Standing beside Annie was Amelia. It was now that they had both returned to the mansion from the forest. Their whole bodies were dirty. They had to return home in a hurry because Annie couldn't wait to take a bath. “There you are. You wretched daughter
