Xilvis glared at Remus as he held Vastria away from him. He did not know that there were vampires residing with Lord Rothcas. He wanted to play with Vastria to see if she is something of worth. His father believes she is, but Xilvis believes otherwise. He wanted to know why this vampire interfered. He wanted to know what business he had with the girl he wanted to test. Xilvis took that time to think to himself as he continued to glare at the vampire before him. This vampire should not be here. No one mentioned a vampire would be guarding the girl. I must find out if this vampire was sent by that wretched vampire noble to watch over their new prize, a demon bride for a vampire.
Remus and Vastria entered the mansion at the garden entrance hearing a loud commotion coming from the dining room. They saw a figure storm out of the front door. Vastria recognized the figure to be Xilvis. He was not happy as he stormed out.The two looked to each other then entered the dining room together. The talking among the men inside abruptly stopped as Remus and Vastria entered the room to find the long table filled with seven individuals.
The other two demon lords’ sons stood up, Thorzot and Zerniz speaking at the same time. “We too will support lady Vastria.” They looked at lady Arnenas as they spoke. Their fathers looked to them shocked. Lord Torin was the first to speak. “It appears that our heirs have spoken, and we should accept their words. I cannot speak for others here, but I too will support lady Vastria.” He smiled looking to Vastria then to her father and Remus.
Dinner was finally over, and the demon lords had left. Each disappearing into black mist. Vastria watched intrigued as they left through the black mist in the main room. She wondered if that was how they arrived at the mansion in the first place. She thought that she should learn it since it will make traveling easier. She then remembered that Remus has gotten to the mansion the same way, through black mist. He did not know how it happened other than that Vastria somehow summoned him.
Vastria woke the next morning refreshed. She got out of bed looking around. She had not seen her demon bodyguard in such awhile and she wondered where she could be. She texted her demon bodyguard Elcid but there was no reply after a few moments. She sighed and left her room after changing her clothes. She met Remus in the hall before going down to the dining room.
Vastria stared at her phone as her father and Remus was talking. They turned to see what was taking her so long to respond to find her staring at her phone. Remus spoke up. “What is the matter?”She looked up to Remus then her father. “Sorry, I just got a text from Elcid. She has some news for me.” She replied to Elcid.
“Elcid, what happened? Why do you look like this? Did you get attacked? Who had done this to you? Where did you go? Why did you go without letting us know? I worried for you when you did not greet me this morning. You disappeared last night during lunch. Tell me Elcid.” Vastria sputtered out all the questions she had on her mind. She needed to know what happened. Remus stood back allowing her to handle it. “Lady Vastria calm down. I am fine. I just have a few bruises and cuts here and there. N
Vastria woke early the next morning with a lot on her mind. The night before, Remus left after dinner to find out what he could at the vampire facility. Vastria stared at the album Remus found in the library. She could not go passed the first page. She stared at her mother’s smiling picture. She looked like the older version of herself. She finally turned to the next page. The second photo was of her mother in the garden. She was holding a pot of roses that were starting to bloom. The roses were black ros
Vastria just got to the dining room for lunch when her father came in behind her. “Seems you were quite busy this morning with those books, my dear.”She turned around to her father before taking her seat. “Yes, I woke early and did not notice how much time had passed. I did not mean to worry you.”
