Join the ServerAs she turned around and continued picking out clothes for me, I finally allowed my gaze to settle on her.
The girl before me seemed about the same age as my classmates back at school.
And… she was definitely a beauty! Her figure, her face—everything was just…
“Hm…”
I had unconsciously been staring at her, only to realize she was now looking back at me, covering her mouth with a mischievous smirk.
“What’s wrong?”
“Ah! You little pervert… Oh! Nothing!”
“Ooh~ You said it~”
‘How did that slip out?! I’m done for! Is she going to—!’
I instinctively raised my hand, but she boldly pressed hers against her chest.
“Of course I’m still young! According to the calendar my mother set, I’ve lived thirty-five years. Oh, and we Dexians can live up to two hundred years old!”
‘A lifespan of around two hundred years… So if I divide that by two… she’s about seventeen?’ I looked at the Young Master before me.
But the breeze brushing past my legs still felt…
“Oh, uh, can I wear men’s clothes? This outfit is really uncomfortable…”
Instead of answering, she pulled out a mirror and held it in front of me.
“See? Isn’t this absolutely perfect for you?”
“I can’t see myself in the mirror…”
“That’s right…”
‘But then why could I see my reflection in the water when we left the cave?’
She looked at me, giggling, and pointed at the dress I was wearing.
“Anyway, you’re fine as you are. No changing—and from now on, I’ll dress you in all sorts of outfits every day, hehe…”
‘This girl was definitely a pervert… But I couldn’t refuse… The curse was there!’
I gritted my teeth and nodded. She ran over and grabbed my hand.
“You two go to sleep. I’ll take her for a walk.”
“Young Master, please be careful! Vampires can only be kept as pets, and their trustworthiness is very…” the brown-haired girl said.
“She won’t do anything! I’m always right about people. It was love at first sight~”
With that, she led me toward the end of the corridor. From the architecture, it looked like a castle…
As we passed through the hallway, the armored guards and servants on both sides stared at me with strange looks.
“It’s fine. I told you, from now on you’ll stick close behind me. Okay, we’re going out.”
Two guards opened a large door for us, revealing a magnificent garden—the kind of princess’s backyard you’d read about in fairy tales.
“I used to play here when I was little.”
“How little? Like, how old?”
“Thirteen! Because my father never bothered to take care of my mother and me. Plus, my mother was a demihuman, so a lot of people didn’t like me.”
I mentally calculated the Young Master’s age—needed to divide by two… Hmm.
“Why are you suddenly telling me this?”
She pulled me to a bench and made me sit beside her.
“I know it might be hard to understand, but since you’ve drunk the covenant water, we’ll be together for a long time!”
“That’s only because you didn’t explain before I drank it…”
“What? You trusted me enough to drink it, didn’t you? I’m not going to hurt you.”
Thinking back to her earlier words and the way she looked at me when we first met…
“I’m not so sure…”
“Hey!!!! How can you say that?”
She looked up at the moon in the night sky, her deep blue eyes glimmering faintly.
“Little Chuye, was there someone you liked in your previous world?”
“Well… I guess there was one? I’m not sure if it was really love. It might have been mixed up with family feelings. More like a sister I grew up with~”
“One, huh… So you did have someone you liked! What were they like?”
She leaned in, looking at me with eyes full of curiosity and concern.
“Annoying! Talkative! Didn’t like studying! Disobedient! But I think she saved me once… I can’t swim, so… I hope she’ll be okay in the future. As for liking… I don’t think it counts…”
“Oh! That’s the first time you’ve spoken so fluently in front of me. Looks like—ahem~”
She suddenly changed her tone.
“But you belong to me now. Oh, I forgot to mention something: your appearance will never change. Actually, a vampire is basically an undead. And since you’re not a true bloodline, you’re literally ‘dead in the light’—you’ll die if you see the sun.”
“I know… So I have to live forever looking like this? We have vampires in my world too, but only in novels and such.”
“Yep! And you’ll be stuck with this loli face forever~ But you’ll get used to it eventually! Come on, I’ll show you what I’ve prepared for you!”
She grabbed my hand again and pulled me toward another part of the castle-like building. We stopped in front of a massive tree.
“This is the food I prepared for you! A Dragon’s Breath Blood Tree!”
“Is this the stuff you poured into the coffin? So it’s tree blood… But how can a tree have blood?”
“Oh, you don’t know that, do you~”
She led me closer to the tree.
“You still need to learn about this world. We have a library here. Maybe you could live there?”
The Young Master was getting excited all by herself.
“Speaking of which, why did you catch vampires? Is it simply because you like them?”
“Well… about that…”
