The vampire looked at her as she fell silent. You can clearly see the distress that was emanating from her eyes. Her small hand was tightened into a ball.
"Asty..." he called out to her.
But the woman was not able to respond.
She was too busy thinking whether the trust was wasted or not. She thought of many ways and contemplated about the possibilities and negativities of their blooming friendship.
"There's no way that they are all lies, aren't they?" she asked the vampire, hoping for his answers to reach out to her.

"But I'm not even half as starving as him.""Who?"Asthenosthene knew no hesitation when her sunrise orbs spanned across the room and found a man lying on the ground. Her eyes widened in shock before running towards him. Errol grabbed her arm before she could get close to the stranger, and thus she recoiled in the air, while looking at him with those gleaming, concerned eyes."I know you want to help him, but you can't get too close." he warned her. "He's violent. Why do you think I have bruises and scratches all over me?""But he's dying!" Asty expressed in dismay. "He needs help!""He can get all the help he needs. Right now, you need to go back. It's going to be difficult if the others sees you here.""No!" she yanked her arm away from him. "Do you expect me to just leave and let him die?! I can't do that!""Look, he has been starving himself ever since I came. Lana would bring food for him but he wouldn't touch it. And God knows h

He opened his eyes annoyed and saw a cloak above him."What the hell is this?" he rubbed his head before sitting straight and holding the cloak in the air.Chaol glowered at him with his sadistic, narrow eyes and smiled. "Dress up. We'll be leaving in a few minutes.""Wait, I am not coming with you." he told him and went back to his napping position. "Go for all I care."Chaol kicked the couch with his foot, which created rumbles to disturb Othello from his napping."Stop it!""I said, we're leaving." he firmly told him."I said, I'm not coming!" he snuggled at the pillow and ignored his request. "Why are you even telling me to come? I have nothing to do with your fancy-schmancy business with that darned King.""He had a few businesses that he'd want to discuss with you." Chaol clipped his cloak on his midnight blu

"Are you finished with your lunch, Asty?" Lana approached her with a smile on her face.Asty nodded at her and placed her plate on the sink. "I am. Do you need any help with the laundry?""No, not at all," she answered and tucked in her apron that will contain the stain from the splashing water as she washes the dishes. "You can rest all you like.""I see. I will be in the garden then." Asty smiled at her and nodded. "By the way, Asty." The young woman shifted her head towards her direction. "Yes?""I found your boots in the abandoned staircase yesterday. Have you gone there?"Asty froze for a while, but kept her composure. She had forgotten to take it away. "Ah yes. I was roaming around the castle yesterday.""Roaming?" Lana's brows furrowed as if in worry. "Where have you gone to?""Just the hallways.

With an exhausted expression on his face he gestures to Asty with his fingers and pulled her in a tight hug. The count buried his face on her pale neck and smelled the scent of her soft hair. Even for just an hour, Chaol had missed the feeling of her touch in his skin. "Welcome back." she greeted him."Mhmm." She felt the woman's small hands caressing his broad back. "How was your appointment with the King? I see you've brought my brother along with you.""Ah, I just accompanied him to speak with trivial matters.""I see." she smiled at her and helped him sit on the cushion. "Do you want something?"A sly smirk escapes from his lips. "I want you." The woman's chest began throbbing after meeting the male's seductive invitation. She shook her head and clutched onto her nightgown. "Nope!"

Rule two, you can't grab or take the shave forcefully from my hands and lastly, rule three, you must be in your best behavior."Asty brings out the loaves of bread in her pockets and hands it over to them.
