"Lucy, prepare. Tomorrow, when the full moon arrives. Wear comfortable clothes to run with me. We'll leave the castle on opening night" Arthur glanced at Lucy's face at a glance.
"Hm... I mean, humans. We'll leave when those humans arrive, okay?" Arthur said he planned to escape.
Lucy nodded in understanding.
Arthur sneaks into the kitchen when he sees the girl, who is busy pocketing animal blood into plastic to be stored in the freezer by herself.
And his arrival was welcomed by Lucy, because the girl was calm. At least one, he now has friends. Because all this time he felt lonely, the inhabitants of the castle no one was being nice to him. Including Lauden, who said his master was acting arrogant and determined to him.
In addition to his handsome face, Arthur's demeanor also seemed more outgoing than Lauden's. That's why it's easy for Lucy to be friends with the man.
"Hm... Arthur," Call Lucy.
"What?"
"There's something I really want to ask you,"
"What do you want to ask?"
Lucy paused her question for a moment and turned to her right and left, looking around whether or not there was a Lauden. After making sure there was only him and Arthur there then he continued the question, "Does Lauden or the other vampires also have the ability to read minds? do they have the same skills as you?"
Not without Lucy asking that question, Lucy is just afraid that someone else will find out her plan is blurred if indeed all vampires have the ability to read the minds of others.
Arthur shook his head and replied, "You don't have to worry. From vampire records, only I have that ability."
"really?" there was a sense of shock and pleasure that emanated from Lucy's face, for the most dominant sense I don't know.
Arthur smiled in response.
"Mazing,"
"Do you know why?" ask Arthur.
"Why? is it because your mother craves to read the paper every morning when she's pregnant?" lucy said she was joking. It is not said to be kidding either, because in his village first. The village elders believe in a myth that says if pregnant women want something to do or eat, then as much as possible the husband, parents or whoever the victim cravings should follow his will. Because if not, then the debay in the stomach at birth will salivate throughout the day or sneeze every morning.
Arthur laughs at the joke Lucy made even though he thinks there is nothing funny at all from the girl's statement. She laughed because Lucy's expression when telling her jokes looked funny in her eyes. That'sthat's all.
"Well, tell me why it's just you?" ask Lucy fashion seriously.
"I was born when Acthurus, the rare comet came down to earth. Our clan believes that babies born at that time will have special abilities and become leaders for their people. And who would have thought that belief would come true?"
"That's why your last name is Arthur?"
Arthur nodded his head and flicked his hand, "Bingo!"
"But..." Lucy looked at Arthur's face. Trying to remember when the meteor fell, as he remembered in the historical record there has never been a comet named Acthurus. Or is his memory not that good to remember every school record?
"But what?" arthur asked with eyebrows up next.
"When were you born? why haven't I heard or seen any historical record of it?"
Arthur chuckles softly with his arms outstretched, scrambling to love Lucy's head.
"I was born in 1547. About the comet's record, it was only natural that no one knew. Because only our clan testified at that moment."
"What's? 1547? so old of you?" lucy's screams spontaneously shut her mouth. He had forgotten that he was currently living in the castle of vampires who were all ancient beings. Naturally, Lucy was shocked, because when seen from her face, Lucy thought they were the same age. Turns out...
Arthur covered his face, "I shouldn't have said my age, right?" She felt ashamed because she was hundreds of years different from Lucy.
"Why are you here?" lauden asked who suddenly appeared between Lucy and Arthur.
Although it looked calm and calm, the red hue on her white face contrasted once she was angry.
Lauden, who saw no movement from Lucy to get away from Arthur, pulled the girl's arm and dragged her behind her back.
"You forgot that he's mine?" ask Lauden cynically.
Arthur opened his face and laughed at Lauden's words.
"Humans have free souls, while vampires? no." replied Arthur casually.
"What do you mean?" lauden shouted with a shrill intonation. The man did not like what he claimed to be his.
"Finally... It is the man who will decide who to share his heart with" said Arthur with a grin. It was as if she was the person Lucy liked.
"Don't make me hit you, Arthur!" lauden.
"Fear of losing competitiveness, eh?"
"Don't mess with me, asshole."
Lauden took a step forward and gripped his collar fiercely. But not Arthur's name if he cares about the words Lauden whose incident is the crown prince and his cousin's brother.
"This is my last warning. Don't touch anything that isn't yours! gotit?" lauden said as she framed Arthur's face with her finger.
Arthur brushed Lauden's finger off her face and made it even more challenging, "But I didn't see any label on Lucy's body that said she was yours,"
"Dare you touch him, prepare to die in the holy fire!" exclaim Lauden.
"Ckat! you dry kanebo, you can't joke around just once." Arthur said, the man pursed his lips funny. I don't know why he's so happy to tease Lauden like this. But Lauden's response broke her mood.
"Well Lucy, it seems I have to get out of here because otherwise your arrogant master will go berserk" she told Lucy.
Behind Lauden's back, Lucy nodded. It didn't matter whether Arthur saw it or not.
Arthur was more willing to leave the kitchen and no longer continue his debate with Lauden because he was sure he would not be able to argue with his cousin's brother.
As Arthur left, Lauden turned around. Looked at Lucy who was down.
"Remember your position! You're my slave, don't be nervous about the castle dwellers. Especially Arthur."
Lucy looked up, her eyes staring at the brown iris in front of her with a look of disbelief. What's wrong with her and Arthur's interactions? Why does Lauden say it's nervous?
"Why look at me like that? quickly go back to the room and do what needs to be done."
Without a word Lucy moved from there stomping her feet firmly to the floor. Since morning the servants were busy preparing for the Big Bang ceremony, including Lucy. The girl since morning has been doing the work of kitchen girls in general, she also tidied up clothes, cleaned rooms, prepared food, and other servant jobs.
Arriving at the steps of the stairs between the middle room with Lauden's room, Arthur who had not fully gone from there excited when the eyes of the two met a view.
Lucy paused for a moment, and smiled in relief. Though the world is being unfair to her, Lucy is grateful to still have Arthur by her side.
Lauden who saw the interaction of the two also felt that something was suspicious. And somehow, she didn't like it if Lucy was more comfortable with her cousin than with him.
He wanted to be angry, but did not know clearly what the reason was. And this was the first time he felt angry for no reason.
"Tell me that you two don't love each other?" lauden asked with a gloomy face.
Lucy squeaked in shock when she found out that Lauden was suddenly behind her.
"Gosh, what are you doing? you can kill my heart if you keep surprising me like this,"
"How did you two get to know each other?" ask Lauden again. The man was so curious because as he remembered their first meeting was in the forest of Dysis. There he does not even introduce Lucy to Arthur, nor vice versa.
Lucy rolled her eyes lazily, feeling silly at the strange question Lauden was making.
"Don't everyone in this castle know who Prince Arthur is?"
"After this, I don't want to know for any reason, you are forbidden to meet or talk to Arthur again" Lauden said. Trying to suppress Lucy's logic to submit to her.
"Are you not brothers? why was I forbidden to interact with him?" ask Lucy back.
"Put this out. If the vampire law is legal, I will kill all the men who see you with love, even if I am the one who will be killed for it."
