SLAVE TO THE VAMPIRE PRINCE

EPS. 25

From that day on, Lucy kept watching Lauden from a distance. He still did not understand why the man was trying to save his father.

Lucy's gaze straight ahead, through the clear window glass. Meanwhile, Lauden was in the garden in front of her castle, relaxing while reading a book.

One thing Lucy learned about Lauden was that the man loved books so much that, on the sidelines of his off days, he used to read books. Especially the vampire story.

Without realizing it, the corner of Lucy's lips was drawn into a smile when she saw Lauden's stern face seriously reading the book in her hand.

"If I had the ability of Arthur, the first person I would examine was you" he murmured softly.

In another corner, Arthur's gaze managed to penetrate the mind of the girl who was pensive in the window of his room with focus on Lauden below him.

From the eyes and whispers of his heart, Arthur can see how amazed Lucy towards the prince in his kingdom.

"Currently, what's so great about a dry kanebo?" Arthur's hissing dislike, he then with his vampire powers enters Lucy's room and surprises her.

"Jeez, Arthur! Always surprised me." Screech Lucy while stroking her chest.

"Your father died, but you look happy." Arthur's lips, he's starting to dislike Lucy's change of face. Not that he is also not happy his love is happy, it's just, ah I don't know...

Before that the girl looked gloomy and depressed. But, what Arthur saw today managed to intrude his mind. The girl looks happy, even so happy just like a teenager who is in love.

"I'm sad" said Lucy objecting to being accused of not being sad by Arthur.

Arthur approaches, trying to find something from Lucy's eyes that keeps being diverted from him.

"You're hiding something from me, aren't you?" Ask Arthur full of questions.

Lucy terdia, while continuing to avoid the eyes of the two so as not to meet.

Arthur finally gives up when he sees Lucy avoiding him. He did not want to be selfish even though his curiosity was so great about the reason the girl was no longer sad.

"Well, if that's what you want."

"..."

Both were silent for a moment.

Lucy is busy thinking how to avoid communication with Arthur, while Arthur thinks why Lucy is hiding something from him.

"Ecchem..." Arthur cleared his throat, opening up the awkwardness between them.

"The color of our last escape failed. I've made a new plan to get you to the news" Arthur said.

Lucy gives her attention, if previously the offer was Lucy while enthusiastically. This time he greeted with a heavy heart. The girl's initial intentions are desperate to get out of the castle, but after finding out her father is also a part of them, Lucy is reluctant.

There's no reason for Lucy to have to get out of there. Her father is tied up in the woods of Dysis, her mother is gone due to depression. So what's?

"You look unhappy with our conversation this time," Arthur said with a flat face.

The face that from the first time they met was always smiling brightly, was now more serious and flat. Lucy was even stunned to see the change.

"Not really,"

"You must be sad because that night we failed to escape, right? Relax, we'll try again later, this time I'm sure we'll succeed. I've made plans, we'll leave when..."

"No!" Cut Lucy fast.

Arthur's eyebrows go up next door, "Why?" Confused ask.

"I'm changing my mind right now" Lucy replied.

"Reason?"

"Isn't that clear enough for you? Whatever we do the ending must fail again, fail again. I'm tired of doing it, that's all." Lucy replied with her head down. It's obvious if he's lying.

"I know you're lying, so tell me the truth."

"What else should be clarified? You saw it yourself, didn't you, then what more reason did I use to go home?" Ask Lucy grudgingly. About this he did not lie, he really felt sad when the family that was always harmonious is now divided, not necessarily direction.

Logically, perhaps people would consider her a foolish girl because she still wanted to stay by Lauden's side, but she also couldn't possibly leave her father alone in the vampire circle. After all, he couldn't have told Arthur if the strongest reason he wanted to stay was because Lauden was the only one who knew if his father was still alive.

"So, you chose to surrender to Lauden and become her slave forever, did you?" Asked Arthur who still did not believe in the sudden decision for him.

Lucy breathed a heavy sigh.

"That's my decision Arthur. Even if I return, there will be no place for a girl who has lost her parents like me, in the city."

"Don't tell me you're staying because you're in love with Lauden?" Accuse Arthur. This time he asked with intonation up an octave.

The man only realized that during these few days the two people who claimed to be masters and slaves seemed to get along well and harmoniously.

The thought of Lucy falling in love with Lauden made her angry. She is jealous because Lucy easily gives her heart to her cousin and prince in her kingdom.

Lucy laughed off hearing Arthur's accusation just now.

"How could I possibly fall in love with such an arrogant man like him? Haha... There's-there's this you,"

"Why good?"

"Good, for I cannot enter into a heart that is already filled." Arthur said seriously. Even as he said so, his eyes focused on Lucy.

"Arthur, you're a good man. But I also doubt your feelings. Em, I mean, how could you possibly like me? What do you like about a girl like me?" Ask Lucy plain.

"Vampires don't have feelings, do they?" Added.

"I wish you had the ability to read the minds of others like you, so you could read whose name I always thought..."

Lucy replies, "i wish it were, too..."

"..."

Crick... Crick...

"Let's go for a walk" Arthur asked.

He realizes Lucy is a passive and rigid human being. So he thought, he was the one who had to take a lot of roles so that the communication between the two continued.

Before agreeing, Lucy turned her head for a moment out. In his place, Lauden was still focused on reading books. There are no signs of going from there.

"All right." Lucy finally accepts Arthur's invitation to look around the castle. Count healing is yes, because during the stay there the farthest place Lucy visited most around the kitchen, and the library in the upper hallway near Lauden's room.

Back to Arthur and Lucy's side.

The two of them stopped in front of a frame printed in large size and placed in the second floor living room. Within the frame was a gallant man in combat clothes standing beside the horse. In his right hand was a shield, on his waist hung a shiny silver sword.

"De Pompadour family is a vampire with pure blood" he said, looking at the frame.

"What does that mean?" Ask Lucy.

"You, the De Pompadour family are vampires born to a couple who are descended from real vampires. Not because of infection from another vampire bite. That's also the reason why only we can inherit the southern work."

Lucy listens to the story Arthur tells despite not understanding what the point is.

"The De Pompadour family also could not die with just a silver bullet, we could only die from the holy fire." Its effects.

"I know, Lauden explained it first" Lucy said.

"Oh, you already know how to challenge the holy fire apparently..." Arthur said as his eyes looked at the memories Lucy had in mind as Lauden invited him to look at the holy fire back then.

"Death is a luxury for us. A life that is too long often makes human life meaningless. I just don't think why would anyone waste their life by suicide, when their life is so short." Arthur said, reminding him again of Lauden.

"By the way, I see it looks like you're really in love with my cousin, right?"

Lucy rolled her eyes wide. "Huh?" Said flutter.

"Acknowledge if that's the case, '" todong Arthur.

"You love him, don't you?"

"Heh Arthur, I'm not the one who can say love without taste. Besides, how could that be? I made sure that I, Lucynda Spenser. He will not and will never fall in love with her. Why do you think so?" Lucy was upset.

"I've been blabbering about this and that, but the only thing that comes to your mind is the dry kanebo. Know it? I'm jealous of him, "Arthur plainly expressed his dislike for Lucy's feelings of being more focused on Lauden when she was with him.

Lucy laughed, dodging the unsubstantiated accusations Arthur made.

"You know Lucy, I've never expressed my feelings to a human before.

"Nobody's color is as pretty as I am, right?" Kelakar Lucy's.

"I'm serious, you're the only one I like." Arthur said in self-defense.

Lucy's face that he had made for a moment may have turned flat, as Arthur continued to issue words of faith.

"Please never drop your heart on Lauden. If you want to fall in love, look me in the eye, then you'll find sincerity there."
