15 Episode 2 - Someone To Be On Her Side (6)

The country is divided into five big regions. Despite having a big region. Human is the biggest country because the population continues to increase every year. The second biggest country is a Vampire. The rest follow a sequence of Elves, Beasts, and Goblins. The fifth state constantly feuds for eight hundred years.

Each race has its traits or characteristics. An example is a vampire, they had black hair and were synonymous with red eyes. If half-vampire, they're just down their black hair. While the eyes follow the other. This means if a vampire married a human. Their child has the hair of a vampire and eyes has the eyes of a human.

In the land of the vampire empire, having a relationship with humans is forbidden. They could be sentenced to punishments depending on how far the relationship goes. Half-vampire children that were born because of this illicit relationship will get protection and be allowed to live here. Because the children of illicit relationships are victims or innocent.

What about humans themselves? The human who managed to set foot in the vampire empire will be removed or banished forever. The vampire country is praised by all countries for its excellent rules. Their laws also eventually are applied by other countries.

The war with humans is still continuing until today. They rely on using various types of ancient or mystical creatures. That's what makes them grow rapidly.

"Our lesson is going to be ended soon. Do you have something to ask?"

"Everything is clear, Your Highness."

As time goes by, the days went on. The two of them is spent their time learning more books and mansion without going out at all. The two of them study from early in the morning. Until finally the last stage is over.

All the basic knowledge has been taught by Basil. Varest now knows the manners of a noble. It only takes two weeks. He has more authoritative than the noble children.

Of course, is still a material question for Basil. He wanted to ask Vanessa. But Vanessa has some duty to do. Until two weeks she could not spend time with the two of them.

"Your Highness, I'm just wondering about my lesson," Varest asked.

"What about it?"

There's something that makes me curious.

"If the human is never allowed to live here. What about me? I'm a human."

His questions are quite tricky to make Basil face thinking hard.

"Your existence is still a secret. But if the Emperor and the Grand Duke know. Vanessa will be severely punished."

A severe punishment? In what category?

"Then what about me?"

"Hmm...maybe you will be returned to human land."

Only that? What about Miss Vanessa's punishment?

"Thank you for the explanation, Your Highness."

His face was etched very clearly that he was worried about her. The shadows of the woman who protected him. Varest want to protect her but he was terrified. Vanessa just keeps away and away from him, disappearing in a few moments.

"Are you okay?" Basil asked.

"Ah...yes..." Varest-was were aware of his reverie.

Today's lesson is finished. Basil went straight from there and decided to sleep all day. Varest who was clearing his desk glanced toward her paperwork.

Miss Vanessa...what are you doing right now?

Accompanied by the bright sunlight. He walking alone in the big hallway.

"Why would she care for me?"

To be honest...Varest is the prey in this house. The treatment of the servant and the knight. No one wants to take care of him. The person who really cares about him is only Basil. Basil said that he care about him because Vanessa is asking for his help.

Vanessa can get help from the child of the Crown Prince. A rumor is saying that the child of the Crown prince was cold and cruel. He has killed a lot of troops in a single attack. Is it possible because they are family?

"Hm..?"

He accidentally entered Vanessa's private garden. He plans to enjoy the time during the day. Some of the servants suddenly appeared and began to serve him. They prepare tea, also with snacks.

"I'm sorry...I didn't ask for tea and snacks."

"It's our duty, Young Master."

The servant served him tea and snacks. They behave unusually. I doubt these people. My guess is correct, the tea and snacks they serve are...

"Excuse me..."

Tea and snacks are not eligible for consumption. Eligible? A complicated word.

"What's the point of all this?"

The servant just stared at each other and then give a bow.

"What do you mean, Young Master?"

What they don't understand what I mean?

"Replace all this with a new one. Are you blind? In this tea, there is hair and this snack is already moldy. I want you to replace all this with a new one."

"...Do we look like we care about it?"

"What?"

One of the servants is still giving respect to him. The rest laughed a little because loved to see this happen. Varest...didn't like their treatment. He's just staring at a glass of his tea. No one can defend him now. What will this boy named Varest do with his servants?

"Hey you, come closer."

He called the servant to get closer. The servant was standing in front of him. Varest told him to give a bow. The servant looks pissed off when he was there. Varest changes his position to her.

Surprised...he suddenly spilled a glass of tea into her face. "Do you know who I am? Are you sure doing that?"

The servant was speechless with the full face of tea. She could not answer anything.

"You're now dealing with someone who has an important relationship. I have the authority to punish you."

Anyway, I've been permitted by Miss Vanessa and Sir Basil to punish the people who are disrespectful towards me.

"I'm the only man in here, and you also fear of her punishment."

Miss Vanessa is wrong because taking care of me. But the warm smile she gives me. She is just the woman who needs someone to be on her side.

"You have to be careful because this treatment can make the Daughter of the Grand Duke furious. I'm sure you guys know for sure about her. Especially if she in her thirsty with blood."

His face looks very confident, said with satisfaction.

"She wouldn't forgive their prey as easy as you imagine."
