"What will you do, if Princess Shura finds out about our real mission?" Romeo asked Ziro straightly.

Ziro didn't bother to answer him and just looking the clear blue sky.

"Ziro, did you bite someone lately?" Rage asked.

Ziro clenched his jaw and glared at him.

"That's none of your business, cousin." Ziro

Suddenly, Shura and Hades appeared.

"Where's Ziro?" Shura asked.

Everyone looked at her and they all pointed at Ziro.

"Wh-what do you want from him?" Hades

"I want to clear something." Shura is still looking at him.

"What do you want,Princess Shura?" Ziro asked.

"Yeah, tell me. You're real mission is not me, isn't it? Your real mission is my people, isn't it?  Shura

Ziro didn't answer her. He just looked at her.

"Am I right, bloodsucker?" Shura asked with anger.

"Fine, Yeah, our real mission is to protect the people in Scandavania from those Zombies. We don't want any zombie contaminates

our food. Humans are only food."

"You, Cold-hearted bastards!" Shura said while glaring at him.

"Just like what we did last." Ziro said with smirked on his lips.

"You, bastard!"  Hades tried to attack him but Shura silenced him.

"So what will happen to them after this?" Shura needed answer.

"They will turn to what I did to you last. I told you, humans are nothing but food." Ziro answered.

"You must be crazy to think I would allow you. I will kill you first before it'll happen." Shura warned him.

Ziro and other just laugh after what she said.

"It's just like worm versus Falcon." Romeo still enjoying the confrontation.

"You're nothing but a heartless monster. You're all the same, even though I---" Shura didn't continue.

"If we don't, There will be no food. No choice, if we don't drink blood, we'll die." Ziro explained.

"Son of a bitch!" Shura screamed and tried to slap him but Ziro blocked her hand and she withdraw her hand.

"That's the first time I heard a princess cuss." Romeo said while hugging his wife.

"Princess don't cuss.." Juliet said.

Shura didn't bother arguing to them.

"They are MY people. They deserve to live after this mess and then you're just going to take their lives after surviving this war? They expected that---- you're going to save them from those zombies----withoit exchange." Shura said while looking down.

"Well, I feel sorry for them. It's either we leave you here and fight until the end which I don't think you can protect them without us or you will agree to what I want to your people" Ziro said emotionless.

Shura wanted to cry but she tried not to. Shura started to think what to do. She knew she can't win against him.

"What will I do now? Thay are my people and I- I  am their princess. They're my responsibilities. Will I give them to these vampires or protect them until the end? But we don't have enought weapon to fight those zombies. We need these vampires." Shura's asking herself and still deciding on what she will do for her people.

"Are we done here?"  Ziro

Shura plans to kneel and beg but before she could, Hades kneeled and bowed his head.

"I'm begging you, Ziro...Please protect her people and save them. Don't make them as your food. I will do everything you want." Hades begged even though it will hurt his pride but for Shura, He will do everything.

"Hades.." Shura said with disbelief.

"How brave, He did it for the sake of his princess." Tasuke whispered and giggled.

Ziro looked at him for a seconds.

"This is bullshit." Ziro said it to his mind.

"Please, I'm begging you." Hades said while grovelling.

"Hades, Stop it. That's enough." Shura tried to make Hades stand.

"If we protect them without making them our food then what will be the advantage for us? Don't tell me, you're going to reward us with money? We have lots of it so don't bother." Ziro

Shura and Hades didn't know what to say.

"I'll ask again. What will be our benefit after saving them?" Ziro asked impatiently.

Shura started to think a way but there's no other way, the only option that she can give to save her people and her brother.

"The benefit you can get is------" Shura got nervous. She thought that she would faint. She deeply inhaled. " Is ME...

"What?!" Ziro can't believe it.

Even the others were shocked.

" Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for others?So stupid." Rage

"I will give you my royal blood for the sake of my brother and my people." Shura offered without regret.

"Do you even know what that means?" Juliet asked with disbelief.

"Milady, That's crazy. You weren't born to become his food." Hades got mad. "I wouldn't allow you to do that. I promised your father,King Felix, that I will protect you no matter what happen." Hades

"B-but  I have no choice. I have nothing to offer." Shura

Ziro started thinking while the others were looking at him.

"So what will be your decision?"  Romeo

"Will  he accept the offer? you know"  Tasuke.

"Believe me, He wouldn't." Juliet said confidently.

"Fine. Deal is a deal. I accept your offer. You can't take it back." Ziro with smirked.

Everyone gasped and they can't believe it.

"Oh my...you know." Tasuke gasped.

"NO!!!" Hades yelled."Milady, are you mad? Your father expects you to be alright but now you're offering yourself to that m-monster? That guy will betray you someday. You know that the one who kill your mother are vampires. Now you want to end your life like her? Think about it again." Hades

Hades is very thoughtful and caring when it comes to Shura.

"I'm not the kind of ma  who will betray his partner." Ziro

" Maybe... But vampires can't live without our blood that runs through our veins. I am not a fool! You are just a ZERO to me. " Hades was trying to insult Ziro.

"Are you trying to fight me?" Ziro smirked.

"Not because of you're a vampire, I can't defeat you." Hades

"You're taking me lightly." Ziro smirked.

Hades drew his sword and pointed to Ziro.

"Enough!" Shura yelled to stop them.

"You're lucky today." Hades

"No...you are the lucky one." Ziro

"Everyone, Leave except you, Princess Shura." Ziro

Hades tried to argue but he was stopped by Romeo by showing his ice power. And then, Hades looked at Shura. Shura nodded and they left.

"So what do you want?" Shura lifted her right eyebrow.

"I just to clear something." Ziro smirked and took a step forward.

Shura stepped backward unconsciously.

"What do you m-mean?" Shura asked.

"Now you offer yourself to me which means You're mine." Ziro took two steps and their body was so close that makes Shura holds her breath.

Suddenly, His eyes turned to red.

"I'm warning you. I don't want any man touch what's mine. So if I catch you, letting other man touches you. You'll be punish. Do I make myself clear?"  Ziro whispered those words to near to her ear.

Shura suddenly nodded that makes him smirked.

He left her.

Shura didn't even realize that she was holding her breath. She suddenly realized that she agreed.

"Did he really saw me hugging Hades?How dare him to warn me with such thing." Shura got mad.
