     "What's wrong?" Reinhard asked as his wooden sword clashed with Damien’s wooden sword, and their movements came to a halt. "Your movements are unusual. Have you grown old, lord pale skin?"

     Damien was silent. His gaze was intense but, Reinhardt knew his mind wasn't here.

     Reinhard parried his sword and quickly swung his sword from top to bottom, making a deadly vertical chopping motion and violently landing it on Damien's head. Unexpectedly, Damien did not seem to be trying to dodge Reinhard's attack at all, breaking the wooden sword.

     Reinhard exhaled in annoyance and threw the wooden sword in his right hand onto the ground. "Looks like my sense of practice is lost if I have to fight a useless statue like you."

     The man turned around and walked away from Damien in the middle of the field. From a distance, Alexis who had been watching Damien and Reinhardt's training from the start could only continue to cross her arms in front of her chest. Even Alexis was seeing Damien's unusual reaction for the first time.

     Reinhard walked towards Alexis, passed the girl without saying anything. Alexis could see it, the look on Reinhard's disappointed face.

     "How long do you think Damien will be like that?" asked Alexis, still not turning her gaze towards Damien who was standing in the sunshine. Not because Damien's upper body was very sexy, but because Alexis was curious about Damien's completely unusual attitude.

     Reinhardt stopped in his tracks. "Don't ask me. What is clear, for a while, it looks like we should take a break from hunting vampires."

     "I hope Damien is not like that for a long time."

     "You are right," Reinhardt replied while turning his face slightly towards Alexis. "I can not imagine what if Damien became like that on the battlefield. Because if that happened, all the effort we put in so far would be wasted."

     Reinhardt continued, leaving Alexis looking at Damien with mixed feelings.

     If Damien became like that on a real battlefield, then it was not just their efforts that were in vain. The worst thing is, there will be no more people who fight on the side of humans if Damien dies.

     After a moment of silence looking at Damien, Alexis walked away. Along the hallway to her room, the girl kept guessing in her mind. She wanted so badly to do something for Damien. However, not a single thing crossed her mind.

     Arriving at her room, Alexis took her laptop and sat leaning on the head of her bed while holding the laptop. Somehow, she thought of something. Alexis started typing on her keyboard and looked for it on internet searches.

     Yep. Even in this vampire era, the internet is still not gone. No one knows why vampires imitate the human lifestyle so much.

     "The reason why a vampire ... no. A man looks not that excited." Alexis mumbled her search on the internet and suddenly appeared various articles about the causes of the loss of male sex drive. She opened the earliest articles that appeared and read them carefully.

     Alexis's eyes are very focused on every word in the article.

     "Mmm ... the symptoms shown by Damien are similar to what is written here. Could it be that Damien needs sexual activity to cheer him up? I have never heard of Damien having sex with anyone, not even Ginny. He also never touched the cattle that he frees. I don't think Daniel has any interest in that."

     Alexis continued to read the article to the end. "Come to think of it. Maybe, Damien is the type to ignore that condition, but his body needs it. Sex. Should I take the initiative then?"

     Alexis closed her laptop and put it next to where she sat. She got up and walked to the mirror. With both hands, she took off all the clothes she was wearing one by one, so that no more threads were covering the entire surface of her skin.

     For a few moments, Alexis stared at her own body in the reflection of herself in the mirror. "I think my body is pretty good. Will Damien still reject me? I do not know. I'll just try."

     Alexis put her clothes back on and walked out of the room. She stepped into Damien’s room. Without further ado, Alexis opened the door and found the sound of water splashing coming from the bathroom.

     While Damien was in the bathroom, Alexis closed the door to Damien's room again and locked it. The girl began to take off all the clothes she was wearing, slowly walked towards the bathroom door.

     One hand grabbed the bathroom door handle, turned it slowly, and when the door opened, he stepped inside. The silhouette of Damien's body bathing in the shower is quite clear from behind the white curtain.

     Alexis walked over, removed Damien's shower curtain, and stepped into the bathtub.     Without the slightest warning, Alexis hugged Damien's body from behind. Damien was still silent, even though his mind was trying to guess what Alexis was trying to do.

     Alexis's palms touched Damien's body gently, while her lips gently kissed his back and neck.

     Damien was still silent without showing the slightest expression, looking straight at the white wall of the bathroom in front of him.

     Alexis's hands are getting lower and lower until they are very close to the little prince belonging to Damien. Maybe not worthy of being called little prince, because the size is quite scary, even when it is not erect.

     A little more, Alexis's fingers were about to reach Damien's prince. But now Alexis's wrist is being held by Damien.

     "What are you doing?" asked Damien in a flat voice and expressionless face.

     Alexis stopped kissing Damien on the back. Still on tiptoes because Daniel is indeed taller than him. "Helping you to fulfill your needs ... maybe?"

     "Maybe?" asked Damien back then turned around. His eyes met Alexis's eyes. Damien could see it. Alexis doesn't show any expression, just like he did. From there, Damien could tell, that Alexis didn't do this because of her lust.

     "Which of my needs are you trying to fulfill?"

     "This morning I saw your training with Reinhard, and you looked lackluster. You also lost focus. It's my first time seeing you like that. So, I looked it up on the internet, and they said that you need some kind of sexual activity to cheer you up."

     Damien frowned. "Why can you conclude my situation like that?"

     "I have no idea," replied Alexis, shrugging his shoulders briefly. "The symptoms you're showing are similar to the articles I read. Why? Isn't my body attractive enough to excite you? Should I get Ginny to help me too? We can do this for all three of us. I don't think she'll mind either."

     Damien stared straight into Alexis's eyes with a serious gaze. At times like this, Daniel could be angry. However, he understood that Alexis didn't mean anything bad to him. It's just that Damien just found out that Alexis is an innocent girl.

     It's natural. She is two years younger than Michelle, his sister.

     "You can come out. Thanks for worrying about me. But I'm fine."

     "Why?" Alexis grabbed her chest with one free hand. "Is my body that unattractive? You don't even want to touch it?"

     Damien fell silent. He realized that the answer he gave would have an impact on Alexis's self-confidence in the future. That's why he needs to be very careful about it.

     Damien released his grip on Alexis's wrist. His right hand grabbed Alexis's chest. "There's nothing wrong with your body."

     Damien's hand touched Alexis's body back, down to her buttocks. Damien's touch made Alexis sigh with pleasure without the girl noticing. "Your chest, your butt, they are so pretty. Especially in this part."

     Damien said that when his hand had moved to the squeezed part between Alexis's groin. "The most beautiful crown that only a woman can have. Its reddish color without the slightest hair. Only a fool would not be attracted to you."

     Now his hands have turned to gently caress Alexis's face. "And besides all that, you have a face that no man can resist. A true beauty."

     "Then why don't you want to do it with me?" asked Alexis, still not getting the answer that she wanted from Damien.

     Damien gave Alexis a sweet smile. "It's not that I don't want to do it with you. However, what you have to know, you should do it with someone you love and also love you. Maybe other vampires do it out of lust, but you also know that I am different from them."

     "Don't you love me?"

     Damien looked Alexis in the eye. "Do you love me?"

     "Mmmm. I don't know. I don't know what love is. But at least, I don't feel scared or intimidated around you. It feels like I can be myself in front of you. Also, I'm happy to be on the same battlefield as you. Is that what is called love?"

     Damien smiled at Alexis's words. "You better put your clothes back on and go out. Get some rest, because tomorrow we'll start to get busy again."

     "Really? Are we finally going to finish off that Vincent-Vincent?"

     Damien nodded in agreement with Alexis's question. The girl's eyes looked very happy. Alexis walks out, puts on the clothes he took off earlier, and exits Damien's room.

     Reinhardt, with a cold bottle of beer in his right hand, walked past Alexis.

     "What were you doing in Damien's room?" Reinhardt asked then swallowed his cold beer.     Alexis turned his head then looked at Reinhardt's eyes. "Do you love me?"

     Reinhardt stopped his gulp and stared flatly at Alexis. Without a word, Reinhardt continued walking away from Alexis. He felt something was wrong in the girl's head. The question was random, and it also sounded ridiculous.

     "Hey, answer me!" asked Alexis as he followed Reinhard. "Do you love me?"

     “Get the fuck out of me,” Reinhardt replied even though Alexis kept asking that question over and over again.

     Alexis may indeed be just an innocent girl who only knows how to cut vampires properly.
