"Who is he?" ask the horseman to Lauden. He was very curious about who this time the girl gave the crown prince.
"My new son" replied Lauden.
"Again?" his forehead shriveled with eyebrows rising next door. "What about the last time?
"This is different" replied Lauden Engan.
"That's why, but this conversation of theirs hurt God. They talk about me like I'm a dead thing. And what did he say, again? that's not just me, her slave, and where are the others?" inner Lucy monologue.
"Yes, from the looks alone it is different," said the horseman observing.
He got off his horse and approached Lucy. Without being able to dodge the man presumptuously sniffed the fragrant aroma from the niche of Lucy's neck until the girl trembled.
Lauden who witnessed the incident was upset that hers was touched at will without her permission. He immediately pulled the man and stood in front of Lucy, becoming a wall for Lucy and the riding man.
"I said it clearly, right? She is mine! HE IS MINE" repeated Lauden by affirming once again the word belonging to the young man riding away from Lucy.
"But." the riding man grinned, moving beside Lauden to see Lucy clearly.
Lauden snorted in annoyance but was replied to a ignorant grin from the horseman.
"He's human,"
The man examines Lucy, just like her and Lauden. However, there is something that distinguishes it and makes the riding man sure if funny is a whole human.
Stared at the seintens by the horseman, Lucy subconsciously clenched her body and drowned her head on Lauden's back with trembling hands clutching the tip of Lauden's robe. Fearful.
"Hey sweet girl, don't be afraid!" the man said it was bad because he saw Lucy's pale face and trembling body.
Lucy still hid her head behind Lauden's sturdy back and nodded. Whether the riding man was conscious or not,
"All right, I'm sorry for scaring you. But I have no intention of hurting you" said the man, regretting that it had frightened Lucy.
"Go!" drive Lauden cold.
"Ckk always like this" the man rolled his eyes lazily, but came back cheerful when he said goodbye to Lucy.
"I go first little girl, see you again."
"Who is he?" Lucy comes out of hiding and stands facing Lauden with a look on the mysterious man's face.
Lauden was silent, unwilling to tell Lucy who the horseman was. His attitude turned very cold towards Lucy. Actually, Lauden's mood was really bad since the arrival of the horseman was especially looking at the gaze of interest to Lucy, but still he held it because he felt the vibration of Lucy's body because of fear.
Feeling neglected, Lucy slid her shoulders back. Seeing the horseman's back getting smaller in his retina. Before disappearing into the darkness, the man also turned his head. And for a moment the view of the two locked in one direction, only stopped after Lucy's eyes suddenly closed something.
"Never fall in love with a vampire!"
Lucy threw Lauden's hand out of her eyes and looked at Lauden. His face was red, his gaze was sharp and his tone was also cold.
"Why not?" ask Lucy plain.
Lauden.
"Have you ever seen a predator love its prey?"
Lucy shook her head with focused eyes staring at Lauden's brown bead.
"You must have heard this story, right? there was a man keeping a snake. For years she took care of and cared for this baby snake with all her heart, she bathed, cleaned her feces, and fed like a human child. Over time, the baby snake turned into a mature snake and its body certainly grew bigger. One day, when they were taking a nap, the snake suddenly twisted as if he was hugging him and his master let it go, because he felt used to it..."
"Then?" ask Lucy curious.
"Then, the snake devoured the man's entire body. Apparently, all this time the snake was spoiled and always wrapped his body around the master was because he was measuring the body of the master, whether his body was enough or not to hold that much weight."
Lucy rubbed her crumpled nape. So solemn he listened to Lauden tell him, he did not even realize that Lauden could pounce on him at any time.
...****************...
Upon returning from the hunt, Lucy finally realizes that the castle belongs to the Lauden family located in a remote area where she will not be able to escape from there alone safely. Lucy feels like a doll that has no soul over her anymore.
Lauden goes into her room while Lucy goes to the kitchen to put her quarry with Lauden.
Lucy keeps walking and pacing around without knowing what to do, want to go into the room and rest would be awkward because there is also Lauden there. Wanting to get out while looking for a way home is also impossible he did.
"Oh my God, what should I do?"
"There's nothing you can do."
Lucy looked over and....
