A partner

When Belle arrived at the Reign's mansion, she hadn't expected to bump into two vampiress who were chatting tediously as they strolled.

"…we are no longer kids, Olivia."

"I know, but maybe you can talk Kione into taking me along as a partner for the nights." Olivia insisted in a quiet tone.

Vi was silent for a short moment, almost as if she was thinking it through. "I don't know. Is that why you are here early?" The woman pried at her friend, who instantly blushed.

Olivia nodded timidly. "I wanted to have a glance at Kione's morning face." She placed four fingers in front of her face, hiding her blush. "But I don't see him anywhere, you see."

The Reign's vampiress shook her head and said, "Should I feel betrayed that you are using me to see more of my brother?"

"It is not that bad."

Belle bowed her head to the two women upon passing where they stood and proceeded to walk away.
