Annie led the way to the Mansion, which was not that far ahead from where they were now. She suddenly came to a halt as she complained, "I have been walking for over an hour! That Mansion is too far! Don't these damn vampires have any means of transportation?! I can't go on anymore!". Annie finally gave up on walking and then sat down on the ground, not minding all the eyes that were focused on her.
"Em, My Lady, are you alright?". Amelia asked and walked over to help Annie back to her feet again, but Annie gestured her hand up in the air, indicating that Amelia should leave her be. "But my Lady, we have to get out of here immediately". Amelia was nervous as she announced to Annie. She further continued to say, "This isn't a good environment for us to be in. All the vampires staring at us only have bad intentions. Nothing good comes out of those gazes of theirs. They might hurt us". "I'd like to see them try. They can all stare at me all they want, I don't care". "You know what, Amelia? Maybe I will consider you and get up, but that's only if there's another easy way of getting to the Mansion, other than walking". 'Huh? My lady hasn't behaved like this before. What had happened to her and the sudden change in her? I clearly remember that she hasn't ever complained before, even if her legs were injured'. Amelia thought. The Lady Annie she knew had never for once in her lifetime complained about anything. Why then the sudden change in her? Amelia couldn't help but wonder. Meanwhile, from a far distance, they were two guys, Bernard and Arnold, who were both spying on Annie. "I think she'd do and is fit for the job. Don't you think so, Arnold?". Bernard suggested to Arnold, who simply nodded his head in approval. "She'll definitely suit Lord Davis in the meantime. Plus, she's such a beauty to behold. I hate to confirm this, but she's the prettiest vampire I have ever seen. Do you even think she'd be favored by Lord Davis because of her beauty?". Arnold said to Bernard. Bernard sighed deeply. He massaged his temples as he replied to Arnold, his comrade, "I don't know if she'd be favored by Lord Davis, but considering how beautiful she is, I think she might have a chance. But we have to get her to Lord Davis immediately. You know Lord Davis' right-hand maid was greatly injured by him because of her mistake. Now the right-hand maid's spot is empty, and we have to get this young vampire to replace that spot right away, so that she'll attend to Lord Davis". "You're right Bernard. I hope she's good enough for the job because, I can't even sense any energy coming from her". Arnold admitted and added, "In that case, she's a weakling and a low-ranked vampire. Do you think she can handle Lord Davis' power force?". Arnold was concerned as he asked Bernard. "You know we shouldn't really care about such a thing like that. We're not in the position to know about that. Come on, Arnold, we should get done with this already". Bernard concluded. Arnold and Bernard then journeyed towards Annie, who was still sitting comfortably on the ground. All the other vampires who had bad intentions of approaching Annie all backed down immediately after seeing the two high-ranked vampires they shouldn't ever dare to mess with in their entire lifetime. "Oh no!". Amelia saw the two high-ranked vampires approaching her and Annie, so she panicked and forcefully helped Annie to stand up. Amelia totally recognized Arnold and Bernard as the right-hand advisor and left-hand advisor to Lord Davis, the overall unbeaten king of all vampires!. Amelia was also aware that wherever these two particular high-ranked vampires headed to, nothing good came out of it. "Come on, my lady! We're not safe here!". Amelia announced in a whispering voice. She dragged Annie along with her and didn't mind at the moment that her actions were disrespectful. But she had no other choice but to do this, since keeping Annie safe was her top priority. "Hey, Amelia, slow down! Why are you dragging me like this? I recently told you that my legs were already tired!". Annie quarreled with Amelia in a harsh voice, as she wasn't pleased. To Annie's surprise, the crybaby she had imagined Amelia to be, didn't surface now because Amelia kept on running with her and didn't even bother to stop. 'What's this? I actually thought that she'd end up sobbing again since I yelled at her'. Annie thought. "My lady, those two vampires behind us are really dangerous! No one dares to mess with them! Every vampire, including low rank and high rank, avoids those two particular vampires behind us. Plus, those two vampires are the advisor and protector of Lord Davis, the one and only unbeatable vampire King of all time". Amelia explained and didn't stop running with Annie. Annie laughed out loud after listening to everything Amelia explained to her. She said, "This is so hilarious to me, Amelia. So, if there's a King here, does that mean there's also a Queen? What era are we? In the 1800s?". All these explanations didn't make any sense at all to Annie, who was finding everything funny. Although Annie was already certain that she had transmigrated to another world, she was still imagining that maybe, all of these would just turn out to be a long nightmare, and just maybe, she might actually wake up from her sleep someday. "Oh no. This is terrible…. What do they want from us? We didn't do anything wrong to offend Lord Davis". Amelia muttered and stopped running with Annie. Her heart started to beat rapidly after the two high-ranked vampires who were behind them, suddenly appeared and stood in front of them. 'How did they get to us so quickly?!'. Amelia thought and was shivering in fear. ‘Strange. Why is Amelia's heart beating this fast? Why did she even stop running with me?'. Annie wondered before her eyes met with Arnold and Bernard. 'Oh, are these two vampires the reason why Amelia was panicking? These two just look like a nuisance to me though". Annie thought to herself once more as she continued to glare at both Arnold and Bernard.There was an angry expression on Ethan's face as he made his way to the dark river mansion. He personally wanted to report Annie. He wasn't in his golden carriage and was running on foot. He didn't care about using his golden carriage because he was much faster when running on foot. Besides, all he cared about was to arrive at the dark river mansion and report Annie to the vampire King, Davis, so that Annie would be dealt with, since she was a thorn in his flesh. It took him barely five minutes, and he arrived outside the dark river mansion. The guards stationed outside the mansion’s large gates recognised Ethan, so they allowed him entry into the mansion. Once inside the dark river mansion, Ethan halted and composed himself. He arranged his disheveled black hair and dusted his clothes, while making sure that he looked decent in the eyes, for he could never present himself before Lord Davis looking untidy. Doing so would annoy Lord Davis, who loved to wear gloves and hat
With only 18 minutes left, Morris prepared the potion as fast as he could. A faint smile appeared on his pale face as he stared at the potion which he was holding in his hands.Exactly when Morris the healer was about to feed the potion to Mila, who was unconscious, Ethan snatched the potion from his hand, and there was also a darkened expression on Ethan's face. “You can leave now, healer. I'll feed the potion to my wife by myself”. Ethan declared. “But-”. Morris immediately stopped talking because of the way Ethan was glaring at him. He bowed his head at Ethan and said, “I’ll take my leave now”. After Morris left Mila's room, Ethan went and sat down on the bed next to Mila. He fed her the potion, and even though she was currently unconscious, she drank it all. Ethan kept the cup aside and was deep in thought, as a result of what happened a few minutes ago. {Earlier}Annie halted and turned to Ethan. She had a proud smile on her face as she said to him, “I'll say this once, E
Morris was feeling anxious, but he had to compose himself so that they would stop staring at him with suspicious eyes. He said calmly, “Lord Ethan, I am simply worried about Madam Mila because time is running out. Nothing else”. Ethan sighed deeply. He gritted his teeth and frowned, as he quarrelled with Morris, “I know that time is running out, healer! But other than confronting Annie and dealing with her for causing harm to my wife, what do you want me to do?!”.“I-”. Morris didn't know what to say to Ethan. He could only grit his teeth in secret, as he began to harbor an unquenchable resentment towards Annie. “Did I hear someone mention my name? Or was I hallucinating?”. Everyone had to focus their attention on Annie, who spoke. Standing beside Annie was Amelia. It was now that they had both returned to the mansion from the forest. Their whole bodies were dirty. They had to return home in a hurry because Annie couldn't wait to take a bath. “There you are. You wretched daughter
As Annie and Amelia arrived in the forest, they began to search for wild berries, which was apparently the last ingredient they needed. It didn't take them more than an hour, and they found many wild berry trees. Annie couldn't wait for Amelia, because Amelia was slower than she at plucking the wild berries. So, she climbed one of the wild berry trees, and plucked as many wild berries as she could.But come to think of it, wasn't Amelia's slowness due to her external injuries? “My lady, the wild berries are enough. It's plenty, and they cannot all be used for the potion”. Hearing what Amelia said to her, caused Annie to go down from the tree without hesitation. She couldn't wait to return to the manor, because she wanted a quick bath. Her body was very sweaty and dirty! And she hated that so much. “Gather all the wild berries, Amelia. We're leaving after that”.“I'm on it, my lady”. Amelia replied and giggled, before she went to do as she had been ordered. Lord Ethan's manor,Th
“Ouch! That hurts!”. Annie exclaimed and was massaging her forehead that had hit the forehead of the other person. The guy who Annie had crashed into was also massaging his forehead. He hissed and frowned because he felt a sharp pain in his head. His hand was on his forehead while he said to Annie, “Didn't you see me before you crashed into me, young lady? Is there something wrong with your eyes? I'm now injured, and it's all thanks to you alone”. Annie marvelled after being blamed by the guy who was about her age. She positioned both her hands on her waist and was staring at him in disbelief. “Why are you blaming me? What about you? What happened to your eyes? Didn't you see me? Why did you crash into me? Now because of you, my forehead hurts like crazy!”. “You!”. The handsome guy pointed a finger at Annie. Being scolded by the guy prompted Annie to confidently raise her chin, before she replied to him, “Yes, me what?!”. Amelia was helplessly watching the two, who were busy arg
On their way to the mountains, Amelia was feeling extremely bothered. She badly wanted to ask Annie, who was in front of her, a question. Annie was a strong vampire, and because of this, she was able to read Amelia’s inner emotions. Without bothering to look at Amelia, she asked her, “What is it, Amelia? Why are you troubling yourself?”.Amelia was surprised because of Annie's question. ‘How did lady Annie know I was troubled?’. She mused. She didn't want to keep Annie waiting, causing her to reply, “My lady, I don't understand. Why did you make those suggestions to the advisors of Lord Davis? They are dangerous. So, why would you allow someone dangerous to stay with us in the manor?”. A sudden smile appeared on Annie's face after listening to Amelia's curious questions. She understood what was in Amelia's mind, and equally understood her fears. “Amelia, let me ask you a question”. Annie said to her. She stopped walking and turned to face Amelia, who was behind her, before she aske
