Resolve

"U-Um… we haven't received t-today's food…"

In the Cooke Farmlands, one of the slave vampires stepped out and muttered. However, the other Slave Vampires looked at him pitifully.

This boy is new here; he still doesn't know the untold rules.

Well, they all learned from experience as well, so it doesn't really matter.

The other vampires then shook their heads and the human, who was supposed to give them food, smiled brightly as he ordered.

"Alright everyone, go do your work"

"B-But the fo-"

"You, come with me" The human then pointed at the boy as he ordered and then walked into his office.

The boy looked around and noticing that everyone was avoiding his gaze, he felt something was wrong.

"Did you not hear me? Do you want the food or not!? I am very impatient, don't make me wait!" However, before the boy could think anything else, he heard the human's voice and quickly rushed into the office.

The human smiled when he saw him entering, he then pointed at the bucket that was filled with the dog's blood and questioned.

"Are you looking for this?"

The man then picked up an iron rod, before he placed that on fire and turned back.

The Vampire's mouth practically salivated when he saw so much blood in front of him.

He wanted to drink that, however, the man was in front of him, and he knew he couldn't drink it all.

Satisfied by his attitude, the man nodded inwardly and questioned with a disdainful smile on his face.

"Do you know why others did not ask for the blood?"

"I don't know" The Vampire boy replied, however, his gaze was still on that bucket of blood.

"Don't worry, I will tell you"

The man's smile widened before he wore a thick glove and then picked up the iron rod, which was now bright orange due to heat and walked towards the vampire.

"You see, I always think, do you vampires deserve the free food I provide you? After thinking about it for a while, I came up with a brilliant plan.

I will test your resolve to get food"

The man's smile then widened before he declared.

"Now no matter what happens, don't shout, if you do you won't get food for the next 3 days. Okay?"

The man then walked towards the vampire and,

"AAAGGHhhhhh!!"

The Vampires who were working on the fields heard an agonizing shriek and their bodies trembled.

Many of them knew what was happening inside as many of them has suffered through the same fate.

However, they did not do anything.

Vampires were meant to be Slaves.

They couldn't go against humans.

However, not everyone felt the same way.

"Uggh! Are we really going to let that bastard torture us for the rest of our life!?" One of the Vampires couldn't take it anymore and shouted.

"Lower your voice." Another vampire warned.

"Yes, if you want a blazing iron rod burning your flesh that much, just go inside, don't drag us with you."

"Are you guys okay with that psychopath torturing us!?" The first Vampire questioned.

"Just don't get into his eyes, and you will be fine" A vampire answered.

"What the hell!? Look, I have worked in other farmlands as well, although they do not treat us the best, they do not torture us for no apparent reason! That man is in the wrong! Why aren't we saying anything then against him then!?"

"Because he is a human, and we are Vampires. Humans are never wrong. Just blame yourself for being born as a Vampire and wish that you are born as a human in your next life"

"Yes, we vampires… are a cursed race."

The Vampire then turned silent.

He did not know how to reply to them.

However, when he heard the painful screams, he clenched his fist in rage and gritted his teeth.

He cannot do anything.

He is powerless.

He is powerless because he is a Vampire.

However, just as he was about to start ploughing the fields again, he saw an extremely attractive girl walking toward the office.

Although her blue hair was a little uncommon, seeing her pale white skin, he was sure that she was a vampire as well.

'Hmm? Why is a vampire going inside his office?'

He wondered, however, when he noticed how she kicked the door open, he knew she did not come here with friendly intentions.

A small smile appeared on his face.

He was secretly rooting for that girl.

However, he still did not dare to go and help her, and he hated himself for it.

…

"You screamed, you do not have the resolve to get the food, so you will not get it." Inside the room, the man smiled disdainfully before he walked towards the bucket and started pouring the blood out of the window.

The boy, who now had 3 straight line marks of burned flesh on his face, cried even more when he saw the blood that was being wasted.

Seeing his desperate gaze, the man stopped pouring the blood out and his smile widened before he offered.

"How about I give you another chance? If you succeed, all the blood in this bucket is yours. How about it?"

The boy nodded in desperation and the man raised his blazing iron rod and ordered.

"Open your mouth and place it inside for 1 minute. If you do that, the blood will be yours"

Then without waiting for his approval, the man walked toward him and the boy's eyes widened in horror.

*Bam*

However, just as the man was about to raise the rod, the door was kicked open and an extremely attractive figure walked in.
