"How does it feel?"
"Hm... Tak~"
Not yet had time to finish the sentence, Lucy's body was limp. It was fortunate that Arthur swiftly caught his body and rushed him to the young man's room.
Like vampires in general, Arthur can also run with his power. Within a few seconds they were in Arthur's room.
He placed Lucy's body very carefully on the bed and looked for a potion or fragrance that his mother used to raise awareness when she felt like she was about to faint.
While sprinkling the thicket of grass in the area of the nose, neck and temples. Arthur noticed Lucy's innocent face. Eyes closed tightly with lips slightly open. It was like a sleeping princess that needed a kiss from the prince to wake up.
"It's a pity that you belong to Lauden,"
Arthur sat beside the empty side of the bed, staring at the beautiful face lying stiffly on his bed, waiting until Lucy came to her senses.
Moments later, Arthur recalls the cause of Lucy's fainting because the girl was afraid of physical contact. Realizing this, his forehead immediately shrunk. There is something strange about Lucy and Lauden.
"Who is this girl for Lauden? his wife? as he told the people yesterday, or. His slave? like he said to me in the woods?"
In his observation, Arthur realizes that Lucy has never been touched by any man. Including Lauden, her husband.
Amidst his fussy thoughts, Arthur is unaware when Lucy begins to open his eyes. The girl's gaze first felt dark in the surroundings, and began to find the light to be real only then did she open her eyes completely.
The first look Lucy saw after waking up from her stupor was the ceiling of the room, then her gaze turned to the side and found a man sitting next to her with a focused gaze.
"Aargh..." Lucy spontaneously screams in shock and wakes Arthur from his euphoria.
Arthur who was shocked because of Lucy's loud scream was reflex to bring his hand to smother Lucy's mouth and whisper tranquilizing words.
"Sttts... Relax, it's me."
Lucy hurriedly stroked her neck as she remembered the blushing red lips in front of her that caused her to faint. But, she did not feel any bite marks or pain in her neck. All he felt was his head heavy and dizzy.
"Hm...Hmm.." Lucy muttered indistinctly as her face was still silenced.
"Stop yelling! I'm not gonna hurt you,"
Their two eyeballs met each other in one look. Lucy begins to use her logic to think, and realizes that Arthur did not hurt her. Even if he wanted to, the man had already done it when he fainted earlier. But he's actually fine now.
Lucy then nodded after calming down.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"Nope!"
"I can help you if you need help,"
"What do you mean?" ask Lucy while confirming her position and sitting face to face.
"Aren't you planning on getting out of this castle?"
"Huh?" Lucy still couldn't believe what she had just heard.
"You want to help me, why? is this just a trick to fool me? tell me the truth, you're also after my human blood, right?" lick Lucy. His eyes squinted, trying to pierce through Arthur's blue eyes to see his honesty.
"Of course not!" argue Arthur, though,
Lucy slicked her shoulders indifferently.
"Why do you always have bad thoughts about me? you know that sucks,"
"Eitherway. But also because your attitude is so suspicious, I am nothing to you, we also have no blood ties. But why do you lightly offer help without reward. Then, what better do I think if it's not because you're targeting my blood?" Obviously funny at length.
"I did it because... Hm.." Arthur scratched his nape and looked embarrassed, rather confused looking for the right word to describe his feelings.
Although it is difficult to understand, Lucy tries to ignore the fact that Arthur is also part of this castle so excited to see there is hope to escape.
"How is it?" ask Lucy to the point'.
"We will come out when the full moon arrives" replied Artur.
"Why wait for the full moon? why not now?" urge Lucy impatiently.
"The color there is one extraordinary ceremony there," Artur replied while chuckling at Lucy's spirit, whereas since then he looked like a lifeless doll.
"What ceremony?" think Lucy, the only human who has a flag ceremony on every Monday, turns out to be a vampire as well.
"For vampires who have sworn not to drink the blood of a thousand-year-old man, this is a good time to take revenge and enjoy the most delicious food on earth." Arthur explained.
Lucy who did not understand the formula and rules of the vampire family just nodded her head.
"If you help me escape at that time, then you will be absent from the ceremony?" ask Lucy who still does not understand why Arthur was so cool to help her and willing not to follow the royal ceremony.
"It's okay. Love is more valuable than food, right?"
If only Lucy was a brave human, maybe at this time she had convulsed because of the sweetness of words and the smile of Arthur.
"So?"
"OK, here's the plan~"
Arthur also explains his plan on how to release Lucy from the castle. Arthur and Lucy will take advantage of a big meal during the ceremony because at that time everyone will be busy with parties and their respective affairs, so they are not aware of Lucy's escape from there.
"What if they punish you, knowing it was the royal members who helped me escape?"
Despite doubts about Arthur's feelings for her, Lucy also feels worried about the young man if later discovered he had released Lucy.
"Pacify yourself, you haven't forgotten who I am, have you? I'm a vampire, I can run in seconds and come back here before they realize your disappearance" Arthur said, gently squeezing Lucy's finger from when it was held in his hand.
"What if~"
"Shhh..."
Arthur places his index finger in front of Lucy's lips to stop the girl from worrying about him.
"Don't worry. The more you worry about me, the lower I feel about my abilities."
"But you're Lethia's son, it's hard to believe that I was helped by the son of the man who wanted me dead so badly."
"What's? my mom wants to kill you? I've never heard the news before" Arthur smiled as if he wasn't worried about anything.
Lucy let out a heavy and deep sigh, "Can I get out of this castle?"
"You can!"
