Seeing Lucy's surprised expression made Lauden bite her inner cheek in a fit of anxiety.
"Why is her face so cute?" his inner.
The man was increasingly attracted to his slave. But, as a vampire who never fell in love makes Lauden confused how to. Be he coerces, pranks, and curbs Lucy's freedom. It sounds evil indeed, but this is what he can do so that Lucy is always beside him.
"That's it, I have to get out first. For the first night try your best, once I get back we can start."
After saying this, Lauden went out. Leaving Lucy alone in the room.
"Oh my God, where's Arthur?" mumbling worried. The girl realized that her work was just pacing around in the room, her face panicked with sweat that began to wet her temples and palms.
Can't wait, the girl came out. But the goal is not the hall, nor the kitchen to help with the preparation of the ceremony as in previous days. But to a room at the end of the hall not far from the room owned by his master.
Although there were many vampire maids who ran into him, but no one had time to greet him because they were busy carrying trays of wine or blood, I don't know. Lucy doesn't care.
Lucy is also grateful that Arthur took her to escape tonight, the night everyone was busy with the Big Bang ceremony.
"Arthur.just look if you dare to deceive me. I'll kill you with my own hands." Lucy's growls because some of the hallways have passed yet there are no signs of the appearance of the man.
"Hey, I'm immortal lady. You won't be able to kill me." Arthur exclaimed from behind.
"Suck!" Lucy clenched her fists furiously spontaneously as Arthur's voice shocked her.
"Hahaha.." the man with teleportation ability laughed off seeing the woman's frightened and upset look in front of him.
Lucy tickle.
"Where have you been?"
"From the eyes down to the heart" replied Arthur origin.
"I'm serious, goddamn it! why are you so slow, too. With that ability of yours, can't you always surprise me?"
The young man's hand moved quickly to pinch Lucy's cheek in a frenzy.
"All right, I'm sorry ok? I'm on some urgent business that I need to finish before we leave" explained Arthur with a shady look. Eyes as clear as sea water was staring intense hazel beads owned by Lucy, until the owner also felt wrong behavior because it was seen seintens it in close range.
"Remove that hand off my cheek, you're making it wider tofu?" Lucy slid Arthur's hand from her cheek, then closed the two objects with her own hands to hide the red hue of the former blushing in shame.
"Are you ready?" Ask Arthur later.
Lucy looked at Arthur, seeing how seriously the young man wanted to help him. When sure, the girl nodded her head enthusiastically.
"Surely, I'm ready. Even really ready! cause if I fail tonight, I'm dead."
Arthur laughed at Lucy's enthusiasm for escaping with him, thinking Lucy was too happy to be with him. Without knowing that Lucy can be as enthusiastic as it is because of the full service mind that Lauden asked for before.
"You will never die as long as I live,"
"Well, because you can't die." Lucy said with a laugh.
"And the two of us will live together forever,"
...****************...
The hall was already filled with various vampire clans from the southern side of the kingdom. Lauden and her father did give a little invitation to the next-door neighbors as a form of solidarity with fellow vampires.
Lauden stood gallantly in front, on his throne. While Merqueen gave a few words as a greeting for the presence of their invited guests before the core activities began.
Otherside.
Lucy and Arthur begin to walk towards the upper room, as if nothing had happened. They had to pass through the upper hallway because the hall was on the ground floor.
From upstairs, Lucy can see just how strange the ceremony that the king and crown prince are.
"Arthur," called Lucy without turning her gaze on the ceremonial procession.
"Are you sure you don't want to take part in the ceremony?"
"Are you sure you don't want to save them either?" Arthur replies to Lucy with the same sentence structure.
"Nope?" the answer.
"Why? aren't they also from the same clan as you?"
"Indeed,"
"Then why? I thought you'd be sympathetic,"
Lucy then laughed heartily. "Saving myself alone I always fail, how could I possibly have the thought of saving others?"
Without Lucy noticing, Arthur grinned at the answer. I don't know what that grin meant.
It's not that you don't have empathy for your fellow human beings, it's just that. Lucy is trying to be rational at the moment. He who has always failed to escape thinks that he will also fail to save others.
"Do you also think that criminal humans deserve to die, like Lauden?" ask Arthur.
Lucy turned her head, giving her entire attention to the man who was also looking at her. "Not so is the concept, Arthur!"
"Then?"
"I was just acting logically and rationally. Just think, how long I've been stuck here and all sorts of ways I've been free. But results? I always fail and fail again."
"You also say this is the culture of your ancestors right, which means that if I break, I can die for whatever reason."
"Interesting," murmured Arthur softly.
"If you can avoid problems, why make it difficult for yourself?" added Lucy.
"All right, let's continue the journey." Arthur changed the topic to the original plan.
Lucy was about to move from there before her eyes accidentally turned again towards the hall because the cheers and roars of vampires who performed the celebration attracted her attention.
The deg!
His eyes widened, his legs froze and his blood rustled violently. Lucy felt her heart would stop beating when she saw a familiar figure present in the middle of the offering.
"What's wrong? why stop?" Arthur, who felt that there was no reply as he focused on leading the way, turned his head.
Lucy was silent. Make Arthur curious and follow the direction of the girl's view.The focus is staring at a middle-aged man who has skin as white as milk, nose pointed and shabby among dozens of dishes. The man stood up with a blank look.
"Who?" ask Arthur again.
"My dad?" hiss Lucy slowly. His eyes squinted, trying to recognize the object of his vision.
"Oh my God, Father." cried Lucy hysterically after successfully synchronizing her gaze with the facts.
