THE BLOODY RING

8

CIT... CIT... CIT...

the chirping of birds sounded like they were singing melodiously, the light of the morning light now entering my room through a wide open window.

Last night I forgot to close my bedroom window while I slept, the tiredness in my body and the drowsiness still made me wander over my bed. It feels very lazy and does not want to wake up, considering my schedule in the morning is not there or empty until the afternoon then I can continue my sleep for a moment.

Now I understand why my work schedule starts in the afternoon. Last night I served Mr. Vilan and waited for him until three in the morning, I returned to my room half-four in the morning and was able to fall asleep again after five in the morning.

I took my watch next to my pillow, last night I took it off my arm and put it not far from me so I could see the time quickly when I woke up.

"It's nine in the morning..." I said lazily, I put the watch back on and closed my eyes again.

CREWUUU~UUUK... KRUUU~UU...

"What a sweet and beautiful song you are, my dear stomach, you don't seem to want to lose a singing match with the birds out there..." I said very upset.

How can I go back to sleep soundly if a loud rumbling sound continues to be heard from inside my stomach, very upset I got up from my sleep and walked out of my room towards the dining room on the first floor.

Wishing there was little food in the kitchen or in the food storage cabinet, with my eyes still full of sleepiness and my sleeping pajamas I walked down the stairs.

"Mr Vi~la~an.. You should have provided an elevator in your luxurious home..." I said in a lazy voice like a drunk.

"I could die fast just because of these stairs if every day I had to walk through the hundreds of stairs that are here..." I stopped my steps right on the twentyth step. There were still thirty more stairs that I had to go under with my condition so sleepy and hungry, I was sitting limp on the stairs.

"I'm hungry..." I said again with a raucous voice holding back the cry.

"Stop your child-like babble"

There was a voice right behind me, I looked back and saw the figure of Mr. Vilan who was very annoying.

"Tu~an..." I said with lips that began to take on a strange shape as they held back my cries.

"Gideon" Call Mr. Vilan.

There were not five minutes, Gideon had stood and faced Mr. Vilan right on the stairs that were below me. Gideon lowered his head as usual in honor of Lord Vilan.

"I'm Sir?" Gideon.

"Have a waiter in the kitchen bring food to Hyorin's room for her, I think she'll soon die if she continues her steps towards the dining room" Said Mr. Vilan while looking at me with his ignorant smile.

"And called for the building instructor to create an elevator that led to all the levels of this building, Hyorin's feet were so small as to step over the stairs in this house" Furthermore, Mr. Vilan who still ruled Gideon without forgetting a bit of ignorant innuendo to say to me, Gideon only held back his laughter hearing Mr. Vilan's insinuation.

I looked at Mr. Vilan with annoyance, but the rumbling sound of my stomach rumbling again drained my energy until I forgot my annoyance at him.

"I'm just a human Master, I don't have superpowers like you" I explained.

Mr. Vilan just silently looked at me with his sneaky smile, while Gideon immediately left me and Mr. Vilan to carry out his duties.

"Do you need my help to get to your room?" Said Mr. Vilan in his ignorant tone.

"No, thank you..." I was upset while forcing myself to get up and immediately walked back to my room.

five minutes later the food had been delivered to my room by a maid, the waiter's gaze looking very displeased as he handed all the food to me. But I ignored the attitude of the servant, which I prioritize now is my stomach.

I put my food on the big dressing table beside my bed and I sat on the small stool in front of my dressing table to enjoy my food, just one last spoonful of mouthfuls and the warm soup that the meal account will run out.

HANGMAN...!

My body started to numb as well as weak and my chest grew increasingly tight, my mouth started to bleed. Food poisoned?

BRAK..!

The door of my room opened violently, Mr. Vilan and Gideon immediately ran towards me and my body was placed in Mr. Vilan's arms.

"Who did it?" Ask Mr. Vilan.

I did not know if the question was directed at me or Gideon, but neither I nor Gideon could answer it immediately.

"I'll investigate, sir" said Gideon, leaving us both.

My gaze began to blur and my breathing began to break, Mr. Vilan kept calling my name and saying that I would be fine.

"Drink..." Said Mr. Vilan while stressing his wet arm on my lips, a copper-flavored liquid felt in my throat.

The blood..!! As soon as the shadow of dejavu seemed to rush to me, images of the accident and the feeling of blood flowing through my throat. All those shadows flashed through my mind and made my head ache, as my energy began to feel a little I turned my face away from Mr. Vilan's arm so as not to drink his blood.

"HYORINE!!!" Jerk Mr. Vilan.

"Don't make me repeat my words over and over again, DRINK..!!" Said Mr. Vilan as he pressed his arm back against my mouth.

"Open your mouth. If you don't obey me, then I will make you drink my blood by force" Mr. Vilan threatened me.

My tears were pouring down my cheeks, the shadows of the accident two years ago were becoming more vivid in my memory. And in a forest, that man is Mr. Vilan.

The man who saved me from the accident was Mr Vilan and now I have to be saved by him again, What fee do I have to pay for all this help?

"Do you prefer to die and let your father's sacrifice go to waste?"

The words of Mr. Vilan increasingly hit my heart and also my feelings, now the shadow of my father appears in memory with his words that tell me to stay alive. My tears were getting heavier, I started to open my mouth and lick Mr. Vilan's burly arm which still left a bit of blood stuck to his skin.

Mr. Vilan again bit his arm and thrust it back at me, I again enjoyed the sensation of blood coming out of Mr. Vilan's arm skin. As I imagined my parents hugging me with their cries and the shadow of Mr. Vilan trying to help me, my crying made me sob and choke a few times.

"Don't cry Hyorin, keep drinking quietly..." Said Mr. Vilan softly, his eyes have now turned a false red.

Mr. Vilan lowered his head, brought his face closer to me and our heads intertwined. He closed his eyes, and I still licked my skin and sucked a drop of blood out of Mr. Vilan's arm.

Long enough for me to drink Mr. Vilan's blood until Gideon showed up with news for Mr. Vilan, Gideon whispered the news in Mr. Vilan's ear to the end.

"I'll do it myself" Mr. Vilan told Gideon.

"Call the doctor to check on Hyorin"

"Execute the Master" Gideon said.

Mr. Vilan lifted my body which was still weakly drooping and walked out of my room, at full speed Mr. Vilan walked up to his room.

I was laid on his bed that I used to rest last night, even though my body can feel a little energy, I am still not strong enough to leave Mr. Vilan's room or reject Mr. Vilan.

"I'll be right back, for the time being you just sleep here. Jang ever thought of getting out of this room even if it was just a step, I'd punish you if I didn't listen to my orders" said Mr. Vilan with a slight threat.

"In a few minutes Gideon will come to deliver a doctor for you, be patient..." Obviously Mr. Vilan again.

"I went first to take care of some needs" said Mr. Vilan and left.
