Rest Is Important.

"Now?"

"Yes, however, before we begin, I still have some questions I need to ask you. First, who are your parents? And why are you not asking him or her to train you? I am sure that as a true vampire, they should be able to train you" Luminia questioned.

Azriel's expression distorted in anger, however, a sigh came out of his mouth and he answered, "I do not know who my parents are."

'Huh? Do not know who his parents are? Did a true vampire leave his child? No, that should not be the case. No one would abandon a child with potential like him…

Wait, was someone protecting him from the shadows?

No, I did not sense anyone… Then what is it…?

Something's wrong here…' Luminia thought inwardly before she glanced at Azriel and questioned.

"Where do you live?"

"I used to live in the Bannermane farmlands."

"Bannermane fields? You are… a slave?" Luminia's eyes widened in surprise.

"I 'was' a slave" Azriel was quick to correct and his blood-red eyes shined with resolve.

Seeing those blood-red eyes, Luminia was taken aback for a moment before she frowned and questioned.

"If you were a slave, then how is your blood so pure? A slave vampire cannot have those crystal red eyes…"

"…" This time, Azriel turned silent.

He then glanced at Luminia who was looking at him with a gaze full of curiosity and… caution…

He did not know if he should tell her or not…

He did not know if he should trust her or not…

'Forget it, she's too strong, if she wanted to hurt me, she could have done it easily…' Azriel thought inwardly before he shook his head and replied.

"My eyes weren't always like this… they were pale red before. The purity of my blood increased somehow. Don't ask, I can't tell you how it happened since I do not know about it myself."

He decided to tell a half-truth.

Luminia's eyes narrowed in suspicion and she questioned.

"Okay, then how do you explain you knowing about King Dardon?"

"I know you might not believe me, but, I learned it from my dreams. Ever since I turned 18, a blonde man, with a pale white face and red eyes started appearing in my dreams, he introduced himself as Dardon.

I thought it was just my imagination and was nothing more than a mere dream, however, he appeared in my dreams every single day.

Not only that, he even told me many things I could never think about and somehow, I started believing it…" Azriel did not know if his story would work or not, however, when he saw the shocked look on her face, he knew that it worked perfectly.

Suddenly, the ring she was wearing shined and a picture appeared in her hand.

"Did he look like this?" She questioned in a hurried tone as her crimson eyes shined brightly.

"Dardon…" Azriel muttered unconsciously when he saw his picture. He then glanced at Luminia and noticed her fiery gaze and was now sure that his story had worked perfectly.

However, how can a True Vampire be this gullible, if that was the case, wouldn't everyone have fooled her easily and had taken advantage of her?

There was a reason why Luminia was so shocked when she heard his story.

Nevertheless, when she realized how she was acting, she closed her eyes before she took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

"Alright, now I will ask you one last thing, however, if you fail to answer this, I will kill you." Luminia muttered before her boundless killing intent was released. This time, although she still controlled her killing intent, she was very serious about killing him.

One wrong answer and she will make her move, no matter how unreasonable this was.

*Gulp*

Azriel gulped unconsciously.

"Complete this."

Luminia's hands then moved and then started forming symbols that were extremely familiar to Azriel.

She then drew all the symbols Dardon drew except the last one.

Her crystal red eyes then glanced at Azriel and motioned him to continue.

Azriel thought about it a little before he decided to do what she told him.

Her eyes were extremely frightening right now, he did not dare to fool her.

His hand moved and he formed the last symbol and as soon as he did, Luminia's eyes widened in surprise before they shined with unconcealed excitement and happiness.

"Alright, I believe you. From now on, I, Luminia Crux, will take you as my first and last student and will train you to the best of my ability."

Azriel did not know how big of a gain he had just obtained. Countless vampires from ancient times would die to take obtain this, however, he got this just for drawing a symbol.

Those vampires would have died in jealousy if they were here.

Luminia then patted his head and muttered with a warm smile,

"However, you must be tired right now. Rest is very important, okay? So rest. This room belongs to you now"

"Huh? Did you not say that we will start our training now?"

"That was before, this is now. You have fought 6 opponents last night, your body needs rest. Don't worry, I will help you get stronger far quicker than anyone else can."

Luminia then smiled gently before she tugged him onto the bed and left.

…

"Lady Luminia, I found out about him, his name wa-"

"Stop. I don't need to hear about it. Just remember, whenever you see him, treat him as you treat me." Saying that, Luminia walked away.

As for the maid who was tasked to find out everything about Azriel and was now about to tell what she found out, her face widened in surprise.

She couldn't imagine what happened within the past few hours that made Lady Luminia trust that boy so much.

However, as a professional maid, she did not think too much about it and bowed her head in approval.

"As you say, Lady Luminia."

Luminia, on the other hand, walked toward her room with a big smile on her face.

'King Dardon, you were right, he is here…'
