CHAPTER 10 Blood of Love

　　“Who is she?” the man asked Gerald. The man on the horse can't take his eyes off Lisa.

　　Gerald answered him, “She is my new slave,”

　　“How about the last time?” He asked.

　　“She was different,” Gerald answered

　　“I do not know why, but this conversation hurt me a lot. They talked about me like I was something, not even a human. The conversation also reals that I was not the only slave he has ever had before,” said Lisa on her mind.

　　Lisa still can not relate to this conversation, “What kind of the world it is? How can they treat the person like this?”

　　“Indeed. She looks different,” he said, his eyes did not drop from Lisa’s beauty.

　　He got off his horse. He got closer to her and sniffed around her neck like her body has perfume that attracted him.

　　Gerald hurriedly walked closer to them, making him stay away from Lisa.

　　“I have said clearly. SHE IS MINE.” Gerald said.

　　That handsome man stared at Lisa, “She is human.”

　　The man continued to stare at Lisa like he was about to pounce. Lisa backed away slowly.

　　"Who is he?" Lisa asked Gerald after the man had left.

　　Gerald didn't answer. He suddenly became so cold to her without her knowing what happened inside his mind. His mood was absolutely destroyed by the man on a horse.

　　Lisa turned her body and saw the man's back which was getting smaller in her vision. The man did the same. his sights linked to Lisa each other.

　　Gerald realized that. He looked at Lisa who was throwing a back sight.

　　"Don't fall in love with vampires," said Gerald as if he wasn't one of them.

　　Lisa tried not to laugh, remembering that Gerald was a vampire too.

　　Gerald seemed to see a different signal between the man and Lisa so he said the sentence.

　　Lisa nodded then, She innocently asked him back, "Why not?"

　　"Have you ever seen a predator love its own prey?" said Gerald.

　　"Have you heard this story? There was a person who had a snake. For years, he took care of it like a child of his own. Starting from the snake was very small until the snake got bigger. He even slept with it. Then, the snake always wrapped itself around him. the master. One day, while the master was sleeping, the snake ate him. Apparently, all this time, he had wrapped his body around the master to measure the master's body, whether he was big enough to eat the master's whole body." Gerald told the story.

　　Lisa just listened to the story. So solemn, she even forgot that Gerald was also the one who could pounce on him like the snake.

　　"No predators can be trusted," continued Gerald.

　　The story that Gerald told Lisa made her feel goosebumps. She wondered if living with this vampire prince was just the beginning of her ending of life.

　　***

　　After coming back from hunting, Lisa realized that this castle is located in a remote area where she can not run away from this. She felt like a doll who has no power over herself. Lisa paced back and forth in front of Gerald's door, thinking of a way to get out of this place

　　“What should I do, now?” She mumbled alone.

　　“There is nothing you can do,” said someone who suddenly appear in front of me. She never realized that there was a man who paid attention to her.

　　She instantly remembered this man. He was meeting her in the forest when she accompanied Gerald to go hunting.

　　The man has clear blue eyes which made Lisa more afraid that she would sink into the ocean's eyes. He has a pointed nose and hearted-shaped lips. His lips were so wet as if he was applying lip product.

　　“Nothing can you do after being Gerald’s slave. You are basically his pet or whatsoever afterward.” he continued.

　　Lisa was frozen in her position with trembling eyes.

　　“Who are you?” asked Lisa.

　　The man smiled at her, “Should I introduce myself?”

　　Lisa nodded her head.

　　“I don’t talk to strangers,” she answered.

　　“Just call me Prince.” He said.

　　Lisa was confused. She thought Gerald was the prince of the castle. She never thought that he has a sibling.

　　“How could you even think that I am Gerald’s sibling? I and he is very different people if you know me,” he said, laughing at Lisa’s thought.

　　Lisa opened her eyes widely. Her mind was questioning this. How could the man know what she was thinking?

　　“You are questioning my skill,” he said.

　　Again, Lisa was so shocked by that.

　　“You are crazy. Nobody can read someone’s mind,” she said in her mind.

　　“I am not crazy. I can read your mind” he answered.

　　Lisa could not believe it.

　　“Try me,” said him to challenge Lisa to speak something in her mind while the man will say it.

　　“I do not care,” she said in mind.

　　“I do not care,” he said in his mouth.

　　“How could—“

　　“How could—“

　　The man was mimicking exactly the way she said it in her mind. She rose her eyebrow and made her forehead wrinkled.

　　He explained, “I can speak your mind. My name is Prince Peter. I am not Gerald’s brother. No... I mean, how dare you even think I am his brother? He is rude and I am so cute. Totally different!” He said it with a funny face.

　　“If I can choose who I am, I even do not want to be his family. He was arrogant, brave, and cold like ice” he exclaimed.

　　Lisa stays silent. She did not even know how to respond to it. But, the first impression that she had of the prince is that he was so friendly. He was totally the opposite of Gerald. He tried to make a joke.

　　“I am Bosy’s son. You’ve met Bosy, right?” he said.

　　Lisa was shocked. Bosy was the woman whom she was afraid of the most. She was the one who make her think how ambitious she is to kill Lisa. Lisa can not imagine that this man was her son.

　　“I love your scent... Can I smell it?” he asked Lisa to get closer.

　　Lisa stepped back. She thought that person was good. But, he asked something weird. Lisa stepped back until her back hit the wall.

　　“I am not going to hurt you. I just need that smell” he said.

　　“What will he do? Will he bite me? What is he doing? The blood? Is he crawling for my human blood?” she asked in her mind.

　　“I am not going to hurt you” he answered even though she did not say a word.

　　“I just like your smell. It is beautiful as your face” he added.

　　Lisa was terrified. Her mind was so complicated. Her mind recalled the memory where she has to be killed in front of all vampires. Afterward, she was treated like a doll. Now, finally, this is the end of her life. She would be killed because of being bit by one of the vampires here.

　　Her heart beat so fast. She could just think about death. As Gerald said, no predator can be trusted by its prey.

　　The man was standing closer to her. The distance between the man and Lisa was only a few millimeters.

　　He inhaled the air as if it was fresh and fragrant.

　　“No wonder Gerald wants you as his lady. Your blood smelled so good...” He said.

　　The man sniffed her neck. Lisa stops breathing as she can feel the man’s breath all over her neck. The man was sniffing and getting closer to her then finally his lips touch her neck. That wet glossy lips enjoy kissing her neck.

　　“How does it feel?” Peter asked.

　　“Hmm... It feels—“
