In the middle of the party, a man Lucy believes to be Lauden's errand boy arrives, stopping his master's dancing activities. The man came in haste and delivered a shocking news.
"What?" lauden asked the man.
The man did not answer immediately, but looked at Lucy who also looked curious. Following the adjutant's point of view, Lauden awoke and asked the girl for a pause.
"We go back first, I'll follow after this."
"No, I'm just here." Reply Lucy.
"All right, as you please." Lauden replied before taking a little distance away from Lucy.
"Say," said Lauden when she and the aide were alone.
The young man brought his lips closer to Lauden's ears because he didn't want anyone to hear him.
Lucy saw them from far away. There was a sense of unwillingness when Lauden seemed preoccupied with her affairs when she had successfully followed the music and she was enjoying dancing with the man she said was the vampire prince, but the situation stopped her.
"Losily's father is gone" the errand boy whispered to Lauden.
"What?" Lauden shouted spontaneously.
Something he had hidden from the vampire kingdom was now out of control and he was clearly in a panic.
"What are you doing while you're there, what's going on, why can't taking care of one person?" Murka Lauden's.
"Lucyan's father went on a rampage, with the man's vampire powers making him take off the handcuffs easily, he also smashed the iron wall at the back of the prison. We were overwhelmed until he was finally released unattended" he explained.
"Where is he now?" Ask Lauden
"He's heading into town, sir." Said.
Lauden's face suddenly turned serious. He rubbed the base of his nose a few times that felt itchy. His head was painful and agonizing. Thinking of a big problem coming soon left the sturdy man unfocused. He's never been this serious before.
As an untrained vampire to control her appetite, Lucy's father will become dangerous to humans.
"What's going on?" Lucy asked, looking at the serious look on Lauden's face as she approached him.
Lucy sees the man wearing a black tuxedo in a white shirt talking to Lauden as they make a visit to where her father is held captive. That's why Lucy was curious. He thought maybe their conversation had something to do with the father.
"Did something happen to my father?" ask again.
"Nothing" Lauden concluded.
"Certainly so?" ask Lucy full of probes.
Lauden breathes heavily before telling Lucy the truth. He thought it would not be good to also hide the condition of the girl's father, after all they are both children and fathers.
Lauden whispered something to him,
Lucy's eyes widened with a gaping mouth.
"Calm down, I'll go look for him" Lauden said.
"I'm coming with you" whined Lucy. His eyes began to glaze over. He was very worried about his father. He was also upset at the same time when he wanted to join Lauden in search of his father but was not allowed. Thousands of worries filled Lucy's head.
"No. That would make Lethia suspicious. He's preparing this party for you. At least don't leave this party before it's over" Lauden hugged the woman to calm her down.
"I want to come, Lauden!"
"No! Please cooperation. Stay here and don't think about anything, especially when you're with Arthur, okay?" Not without the reason that man said that. To the knowledge of the man who was destined to be his cousin's sister was very intense to approach Lucy and read her mind. It will be a Boomerang for him when Arthur reads Lucy's mind.
"Go back to the hall" Lauden told Lucy, the girl flinching.
From a distance, it turns out that Lethia also noticed the vampire prince was in a storm with his slave for some reason. Because the mother-mom kepo's soul dominated, the woman approached.
"What's wrong with you two, and where are you going? You don't appreciate my party for your friends?" Ask Lethia.
"I'm sorry Lethia, I have to go and not promise to come back soon. There's a problem on the border that the main soldier can't solve." Said Lauden giving an alibi while walking quickly. He did not want to meet face to face for too long, making them even more suspicious.
Lethia sees Lucy, who is transfixed by Lauden's departure.
"Hows it? Do you like the party?" ask Lethia.
"Of course, I like it. Thank you," Lucy replied with a forced friendly smile.
"You don't want to join the women of my clan?" haggard Lethia.
"For now not first, and thank you for the party." Lucy refused condolences. Besides not being good at dancing, he had also lost the mood to do so. His mind is branching out at the moment.
"Alright, I should go to greet the guests again then."
Lucy nodded, letting her master's aunt go.
Lethia welcomes the guests who have just arrived, leaving Lucy standing alone.
Arthur, who never let go of his attention from Lucy, approached him. He waited for Lauden to leave Lucy so he could get close to her.
"Lucy, will you dance with me?" Arthur asked, extending his hand.
Lucy looked left and right. To be honest he had lost the mood to dance and did not want to dance anymore, but if thought it would be impolite he refused.
Finally, he accepted the offer and danced with Arthur.
"Why don't you look me in the eye?" Ask Arthur.
"That's okay" elak Lucy. She still remembers Lauden's message asking her to stop thinking about her father who disappeared before the man disappeared from her sight. But as a child, there was no way he would remain calm when his father disappeared. In addition, he was also worried about Lauden, he thought about the man too if his mind read Arthur then Lauden will get punished.
"All right,"
"Hm..."
"I have a gift for you" said Arthur after the two had been silent for a long time, handing him a pink box.
"What's this?" Lucy's forehead shriveled with busy eyes watching the box Arthur gave her.
"Open up" replied Arthur.
Lucy opened the box. Spontaneously, the corner of his lips was attracted.He looked very happy with the box that Arthur gave.
She opened it after the two of them pulled over and stopped dancing.
"My phone!" Shouted Lucy while prancing around.
"I never thought I could see my phone again." Said Lucy to Arthur with teary eyes, haru. So happy, Lucy also spontaneously embraced Arthur.
Realizing that it was Arthur, he let go of his embrace awkwardly.
"How did you get it?" ask him with passion.
"What the hell can't I get for you?" arthur Goda.
"I'm serious Arthur!"
"Mommy gave it to me,"
Lucy stood up and exclaimed. "Then I have to thank him,"
"No need to thank mommy" replied Arthur.
"But,"
"Don't. My mommy wouldn't be happy to see you happy" Arthur said.
"So it's true that Lethia hates me?" Ask Lucy.
"You don't have to think about that. All you have to think about is how you can thank me now."
Lucy nosedived both eyebrows. He did not expect Arthur to give his phone away sincerely. Apparently, there was something to be done in return.
Arthur can see from the mind of Lucy who feels irritated when it comes to receiving and giving.
"You can repay him by giving your heart to me" Arthur replied with a smile. This is not the first time he has expressed his feelings for Lucy, which led to rejection and not being pushed at all by the girl. Just look at it now, the girl snorted and rolled her lazy eyeballs with a flat face.
"Easy, right?" Continue Arthur.
As before, Lucy does not answer Arthur's seduction. In addition to assuming the remark was a joke, the girl had also started to give her heart to Lauden in silence.
"I'm not demanding an answer now, I'll wait until your own heart chooses me" Arthur said confidently.
"I'm not sure of that,"
"No why."
"By the way, Arthur. Thank you for the gift" Lucy said with a smile on her face.
"Nope," Arthur replied with a smile.
...****************...
The party went well and was fun. But, until the party was over, Lauden hadn't come yet. And make Lucy even more worried.
Teng... Teng...
The bell rang just as the hour hand indicated 00:00 p.m. Lucy hurried into her room, not because he is a Cinderella who will turn into Upik ash like in animation but because he was impatient to use his phone and call someone in the city to ask the whereabouts of his father in the family.
The spirit that had been burning now dimmed as well. He had to swallow a pill disappointed when he opened his phone which turned out not to receive the network.
"What am I supposed to do? I have to call someone!" Lucy grumbled when she remembered this castle was far from the city center.
Second by second, he waited for Lauden to come with good news. As Lauden had promised, he was afraid that his father who had become half-vampire would hurt others.
"My father won't be the next antagonist, will he?" muttered.
