(Northern Region- Outskirts Of New Antic City)


    (Castle Eden- Main Bedroom)


    Mary opened her eyes and yawned sleepily. It was nighttime outside and she could see thousands of stars outside the window.


    She felt a warm body snuggling next to her and nced down to see Cami with her eyes still closed.


    She still needed to get used to this…


    It had been three days since the events of the vampire intruder, the human hunter and the confession in the library and a lot had changed during that time.


    Cami was… nicer?


    Was nicer the right word to use?


    Well... the female vampire would asionally still refer to her as ''pet'' or ''human'', but Mary could tell that she was trying.


    Plus, she no longer just grabbed her and sucked her blood whenever she wanted but instead would politely ask and then kiss her gently when the process finished.


    Those kisses…


    Mary covered her mouth and tried to hide the blush that she knew was slowly rising up and making her face turn red.


    And finally, and perhaps the most drastic change was the fact that they were now sleeping together.


    Mary''s hand lightly caressed the top of Cami''s back before she quickly withdrew her hand as if she had just been burnt.


    What the hell was she doing?


    No… no… just acting… this was just acting…


    Mary wasn''t sure if she was trying to fool herself but the words in her mind did not seem very convincing.


    Especially considering the blush on her face.


    So far, she had spent the night cuddling in the arms of the beautiful female vampire, but things did not progress beyond that step.


    She could see the hunger and sexual desire that was hidden in Cami''s gaze when she looked at her body but…


    Mary could not bring herself to take that final step.


    Not when there was so much uncertainty and confusion in her heart. Was she seriously falling in love with a bloodthirsty vampire?


    The young woman shook her head nervously and then let out a light sigh as she nced once more at Cami''s sleeping body.


    She truly was gorgeous.


    A voluptuous figure with curves in all the right ces, sharp angr facial features and dark crimson eyes that could make you get lost in her gaze for all eternity.


    Mary did not realise how long she was staring until she heard a bemused chuckleing from the mouth of the womanying down next to her.


    "Like what you see?" Cami lightly teased as she sat up and leaned in to give Mary a gentle kiss on the lips.


    Mary gasped in surprise as the kiss deepened. She could not prevent a low groan of pleasure from escaping her mouth.


    Cami''s smile widened even further, and she broke off the kiss feeling very pleased in her heart.


    Her human may be trying to resist her feelings for now but sooner orter…


    She would make sure that Mary drowned in a sea of depravity and lust until the only thoughts in her mind were about her mistress.


    "We have something very special to do today," Cami whispered sweetly as she cupped Mary''s face in her hands before getting out of the bed.


    The beautiful female vampire headed for her wardrobe and pulled out an elegant ck silk dress that looked a bit too tight for her figure.


    She stripped off her sleeping gown and Mary averted her eyes so that she would not give in to temptation.<novelnext></novelnext>


    She could feel a burning gaze on her body and knew that Cami was watching her like how a spider looked at its prey struggling helplessly in its web.


    "Mistress… I will… I will get ready now," Mary nervously spoke as she rushed out of the room unable to handle the tension in the air.


    She could hear Cami''s soft giggles follow her footsteps as she headed for her private bedroom that was only a few hundred metres away.


    Mary rushed into her bathroom and hurriedly sshed some water against her face in order to wake herself up.


    "Keep calm… keep calm… don''t fall for her charms…" Mary whispered softly to her reflection in the mirror.


    "She isn''t that pretty. There are many beautiful women out there…"


    It may have just been her imagination, but it felt as though her mirror image was watching her with a bemused grin on her face.


    As if her reflection knew that what she was saying was bullshit.


    Mary groaned and then turned towards the shower to take a brief bath. Maybe rxing under the water was what she needed right now.


    As the cold water fell on her body, Mary shivered slightly, and goosebumps began to form along her arms.


    Damn it… she really wished that she knew how to turn on the heating function. These cold showers were not a good way to start her day… well technically night.


    Mary grabbed a nearby bar of soap and thoroughly scrubbed away the excess grime and filth on her body.


    It wasn''t much but she found herself being slightly more conscious of her smell especially around Cami.


    The young woman washed away the soapy foam on her body and then reached for the towel hanging on the bar.


    She dried herself and then finished her early night routine by putting on a pair of track pants and simple red tee shirt.


    Mary nced at the mirror to make sure that her appearance looked okay and then stepped outside her bedroom.


    She saw Cami leaning against the wall with a bored expression on her face which quickly melted away as she noticed her human servant.


    "Come my pet… I have to show you something," Camimanded in a firm tone. She walked forward but her steps were a bit slow.


    Mary noticed her peculiar movements and it did not take long for her to realise the subtle message that Cami was trying to convey.


    She wanted them to walk side by side.


    Her mistress was sometimes… a bit cute.


    A brief smile shed across Mary''s face as she sped up her steps until she was walking next to Cami.


    Their shoulder brushed gently against one another, and Mary could feel an electric tingle run down her spine from where their skin touched.


    There was a moment of silence between the pair, but it was not ufortable but rather peaceful and tranquil.


    The silence was finally broken when Cami opened her mouth and said something that was a bit shocking.


    "Next weekend I will be inviting representatives from the major ns as well as the princes to my home," Cami spoke calmly as if what she was saying was an insignificant event.


    "No doubt the culprit who sent those assassins to my castle will currently be feeling quite nervous."


    "Anti-magic is indeed a powerful weapon but… it is not an omnipotent one."


    A sadistic smile surfaced on Cami''s face and just for a moment Mary glimpsed the monster that lurked beneath her beautiful looks.


    "Mistress in that case… will I be out of sight?" Mary asked curiously.


    "No… I want my bodyguard to be by my side," Cami gently replied and gave her human servant a kind look.


    "Do not worry about your safety… no harm wille to you in my domain. Besides at your current level you should be able to hold your own against noble vampires."


    "Your strength and your growth… deserve praise."
