Luxiana looked at the two newcomers with mixed feelings. On one hand, she was slightly embarrassed, but it was light. But on the other hand, she was annoyed. Annoyed, she finally had a way to serve something, especially for this man she desperately loves but it took these people, one of whom she does not know, to burst into their Lord's apartments and rudely interrupt what was finally going to happen between them. She threw at this man who was looking at her with an arrogant smile and an expression filled with innuendo, a cold look telling him that his coming bothers whoever he is, but instead of reacting a little embarrassed by his impromptu entrance, he widened her embarrassment and smile even more. Luxiana just ignored Nina's hateful look, deciding to focus only on the newcomer. This woman's tantrums and mood swings passed on to her now. She felt the grip on her thighs tighten as Vladimir's gestures sent even more electric sensations through her body, her belly rumbling with
Vladimir remained calm in the face of Flavian's question, he had other fish to fry. This, of course, involved Luxiana and her dark new face. He wants to understand what's got into her, but seeing Flavian's amused but serious face, he'll leave it to later. Slowly, he turned to Luxiana before taking a lock of her golden hair and placing it on his lips. This movement quickly caught the attention of Luxiana who felt her face heat up. She looked up at Vladimir's face to find him smiling. Her heart skipped a beat, all of her dark thoughts from earlier completely vanishing from her mind. How could she think he doesn't see her as a woman if he acts like this? Or is she exaggerating? She shook her head trying to calm herself down. They are no longer alone and as much as she would like to know the depths of her master's thoughts, the moment is no longer appropriate. She huffed before returning her attention to the newcomer. It is Vladimir's brother if she considers the latter's word
Vladimir remained calm in the face of Flavian's words. He's not so stupid as to think that putting Luxiana in such an important position as his assistant would have gone unnoticed by the vampire nobility. He was sure they were going to make a big deal out of it and Flavian's coming just confirms his thoughts. They remained calm for the next few weeks just trying to feed him. But apparently, the rejection of their offerings added fuel to the fire and now they want to take action. He also suspects the faction that supports his alleged fiancée. These people have his well-being “at heart” and want him to unite with this woman. The Grand Duke's daughter who once faithfully served his late father. But between wanting to impose their choices on him and threatening him, there is a limit not to be crossed. Who do they think they are to dare send him such an ultimatum? Should he ask their permission to have the person he wants by his side? It's true at first, apart from this strange
Luxiana was in the kitchens with a feeling of nervousness inside her. She had left Vladimir's room earlier with the idea of making him something delicious. But the moment she had set foot in the kitchen, the ruckus that existed before she entered had stopped everyone from falling silent before giving her looks full of disdain and revulsion. She is already used to it by dint of receiving them but usually, she arrives in the kitchen and finds the chef. With him around, she doesn't often feel this animosity because the man shows her a lot of courtesy. There are three people in this mansion besides Vladimir who treat her like a normal person, the head maid, the butler, and the chef. The other servants, regardless of the job to which they are assigned, have a certain animosity for her, which they hide, however, because of the gaze of the three elders, but above all, the terror that their Lord inspires in them. Luxiana swallows in front of their looks, she will not dare to speak to
Nina was flushed with anger. How on this earth, in this mansion, on the territory of the vampires, a human dares to answer and challenge her? It was inadmissible and she had to teach this thing a lesson otherwise, she will not be able to get rid of this humiliation. She looked around, seeing everyone watching her with interest. She could know what was on everyone's mind. "Is she going to let this vulgar human defy her and get away with it with impunity"? No, if she did that, she would lose face. She is not as important in this house as the head maids, but she is above all those present in this kitchen. So letting this trample on her honor would be like opening the door to the disdain of others. This bitch, she didn't appreciate her from the moment she saw her, she knew it, with her distressed princess look, she managed to fool their Lord and the three elders of this house with this false fragility. And now she's showing her true colors. How dare she look up in her presence?
Vladimir was lost. But not only that, there was deep inside him a feeling of anguish that he could not explain. Luxiana had run away in tears and he could imagine who was responsible for this situation. Since she has been in this mansion, he has done everything to avoid this kind of situation, especially with the belligerent nature of his servants. But this time he was careless. Usually, he makes sure that she is with one of the people who show her some respect in this mansion, despite his orders, the other servants are not ready to lie down in front of a human. He has understood this since time, which is why he did not point it out to them. But from there to hurting her in this way, he will not spare this woman. He looked at Nina, who had lowered her face trembling like a leaf. "When I come back, you'd better leave the mansion without it, I don't give much of your life" He passed in front of Nina without adding anything more while behind, Flavian looked amused. He looked a
Luxiana tried to push Flavian's embrace away as much as she could, but Flavian didn't seem to want to give in. This situation automatically sent a sense of dread through her as she wondered what this man was playing at. He still had that mean smile on his lips when the time was not right. Vladimir looked angry, his expression clearly said he wanted to kill someone. She didn't know why but she didn't want it to continue. She pushed Flavian away as hard as she could, hearing him snicker as she scowled. What was the problem with this twisted man? “Please send me down, Sir Flavian. I am fine now " The man looked at her amused as she could read an insane glint deep in his eyes. What was he playing? He was up to something and she was sure it would embarrass her. “Do you want me to let you go after I saved your life? » She looked at the man and looked at the other angry man. She didn't want Vladimir to know that she wanted to end her life out of love and desperation for him. I
Vladimir saw red wanting to rip Flavian's head off. If it wasn't for his aunt, he would've killed that guy when they were kids. He always had this inclination to want to put shit everywhere he found the opportunity. It looked like a joke to him. To see people suffering and lamenting was like a sweetness to his heart and it disgusted him to the highest degree. This is why, despite being cousins and Flavian's mother being so dear to Vladimir's father, he was never close to Flavian. He would much rather have him away from him. “Flavian, I ask to measure your words” "But Vlad…why are you making such a face? Did I say something wrong? I can often be unmindful, sorry but you know…despite my playfulness, everything I say has always been the truth." Flavian smiled happily at his shenanigans. Vladimir for his part wondered why he had to keep the promise his father made to his late sister. He had promised her to always watch over Flavian and not take his jokes into account. "Don'
