SLAVE TO THE VAMPIRE PRINCE

EPS. 29

Lethia, upset that she had not succeeded in getting the king to arrest Lauden, walked back to her room. On the way, he accidentally crosses paths with Lucy.

She recalled that this girl made her son fall in love with her as well. Lethia looks at Lucy from head to toe, looking for what makes her son like the girl. Meanwhile, Lucy who was in front of him, was a little afraid of the woman with the dark eyeliner.

"I heard you were close to my son" said Lethia.

The shoulders of the two women were parallel to each other. The two talked to each other without facing each other. Both of them threw their eyes forward.

Lucy replied, "your child? Meaning Arthur?"

"Who else would it be if it wasn't him?" Answer Lethia ketus. Maybe she forgot that Lucy was a new resident of the vampire castle, so it was only natural that she didn't know who the members of the De Pompadour family were?

The girl was silent, not intending to answer Lethia's question. In addition to not wanting any further discussion with the woman, he also did not know what to answer about his relationship with Arthur. In fact, they never had a special relationship except for a failed runaway partner.

Because Lucy always thought that Lethia did not like him since the first time they met. This woman was the one who requested that Lucy be killed for having witnessed the existence of vampires. This woman was also the one who caught him as he was about to escape the castle.

Lethia grinned when she saw Lucy who seemed reluctant to answer the question from her that was too simple.

"By the way, we never looked so friendly to you, did we. How about we have a welcoming party for you?" Lethia.

"I don't know exactly what your intentions are towards me, but still I have to say thank you for your good intentions of wanting to set up a welcoming party for me, right? but I don't think it's necessary, don't bother." Said Lucy who indirectly rejected Lethia's offer. Because honestly the girl did not expect any welcome from him.

"What kind of empty egg is that?" Lethia Struggles.

"...."

"Prepare, we'll have an interesting party tomorrow." whispered Lethia as she walked away leaving Lucy alone.

After Lethia's departure, Lucy continues her delayed journey while thinking about what Lethia, Arthur's mother, is planning.

He also tried to remember the sound of the gold and silver mask that night, trying to compare it to Lethia's voice. Lethia is the first person Lucy suspects of her strange behavior. However, he could not confirm any of Lethia's strangeness.

Lucy turned her head towards Lethia, looking at the back that was getting further away from her sight. Lucy wonders why the woman suddenly wants to throw a party on her behalf.

"What do I care about him?"

...****************...

Lethia's proposal about the party she wanted turned out to be true. A luxurious vampire-style party that only invited the nobles of the vampire kingdom was held festively.

"Lauden is like my son. And I feel guilty for dragging Lucy here with such ill-treatment," Lethia told guests as they asked why she was having a welcoming party that had nothing to do with Lucy.

"If I think of lauden as my son, then I should think of Lucy as my son too, right?" continued.

Lucy sees Lethia's movements from a distance. Feeling that something was not good from the kind-hearted attitude of a Lethia that was suddenly for him.

"Superficial" whispered Lucy inwardly.

Arthur approaches Lucy, who looks at her mother in surprise.

"What's so weird?" Ask Arthur.

"Why did your mother suddenly throw a party on my behalf? Isn't it obvious that he hates me? Why would he throw a party for someone he hates?" Lucy asked.

Arthur laughed and replied, "maybe my mother intends to change after I express my interest in you."

"What's? why did you tell Lethia that you like me?" Lucy asked in surprise.

"Is that wrong?" Arthur answered kalem.

Grabbing lucy's fingers and grasping the girl's warm hand in her hand.

"That day, I just told my mom. Next time, I'll tell the world." Arthur said warmly.

Lucy is comfortable with Arthur's always sweet attitude towards her. The man touched Lucy's heart.

"It is fitting that yesterday the woman suddenly asked me about my relationship with Arthur, it turned out.." Lucy's inner monologue as her memories returned to yesterday, the day Arthur's mother begins the conversation by asking about Lucy's relationship with her son.

"Could it be that Lethia is trying to like and make peace with me?" Lucy asked herself.

"Sure!" Arthur replies when Lucy's heart is full of doubt about her mother.

"I told you never to touch something that's not yours!" Said Lauden, who suddenly appeared in front of Lucy, blocking Arthur from kissing Lucy's hand.

"Why are you such a hobby to disturb our romantic moments huh?" Serka Arthur is annoyed because the togetherness of her and Lucy always ends badly.

"You are the one who does not know yourself" Lauden said.

"Ckl!"

The party is marked by a small fight between Lauden and Arthur over Lucy.

"You choose to go alone with your legs and arms intact, or do I make you remembered only by name?" Sizzle Lauden sharp.

Lauden turned and faced Lucy.

"Which part of you was touched by him?" lauden said while researching all over Lucy's body, it seems that Lauden does not want Lucy touched anyone but herself? Possessive! a word to describe the crown prince.

"Nothing," Lucy replied accordingly.

"Never forget who your master is here" whispered Lauden, with one hand on Lucy's hip.

"What are you doing?" Lucy asked, surprised by the touch.

This is the second time Lauden has touched Lucy's hip and made her run with the supernatural power that vampires have, but this time nothing happened. They both stood there.

"You don't want to dance or never dance? why is there a human cheer you up? This is a dance party. Of course we'll dance" Lauden said, clasping Lucy's other hand.

Romantic songs played, creating a romantic atmosphere in the room.

The two move in rhythm with the song, although a little clumsy and several times Lucy's legs are caught stepping on Lauden's feet.

"Stop, I don't wanna dance anymore." Whine Lucy who felt embarrassed because always make the wrong move.

"Look easy and follow the music." Persuade Lauden who is still at home lingering with Lucy.

Lucy looked up, making the gazes of the two meet.

As Lucy gazes into Lauden's eyes, she begins to remember everything the man has done. First, saving him from the pursuit of thugs, Second Lauden had saved himself while trying to kill himself. Lauden also saved his father from death.

Although his attitude sometimes makes Lucy's high blood pressure increase, but if remembered again there has never been a single evil action that Lauden did against him.

The more Lucy remembers everything about Lauden, the more she wants to know what's on her mind. If only he had the ability of Arthur, the first man he wanted to meet was Lauden, the man with a thousand mysteries.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lauden asked Lucy, without stopping their dance.

"I want to see your heart." Lucy said honestly.

"Vampires don't have hearts." Lauden replied coldly.

"Impossible." Chortled.

Lauden grabbed one of Lucy's hands and placed it on her chest. Lucy is surprised because she touches a man's chest, and it is her master.

"What do you feel? is the debate like yours?" Ask Lauden.

"There's a vibration there?" Lauden asked again because Lucy was silent.

Lucy shakes.

"That's because vampires don't have hearts, let alone hearts."

Instead of pondering, Lucy instead blushed at this moment. Though it was clear that he did not feel any beating in Lauden's heart, even his heart was pounding.

"Do you still want to give your heart to me?" Lauden asked as she pressed her lips against Lucy's neck, making Lucy's heartbeat beat faster. At this point, deep in Lucy's heart, she begins to slowly fall in love with this man.

You know the story of "the beauty and the beast"?

The story follows a princess who falls in love with a monster who helps her from the pursuit of a forest wolf, as well as Lucy who begins to fall in love with her helper, Lauden.
