She looked a bit surprised when she heard me. “Don’t you want to know what the entrustment is?”
“No, because I’m too sleepy to listen. I can guess anyway, so I’ll head back first.”
“Huh? Well… okay.”
“But I am curious about what you went to the family meeting for…”
She suddenly flashed that teasing smile again and looked at me. “Hehe… so there is something you want to know after all.”
“I’m leaving.”
I turned the door handle and made a move to leave. I’d found that being decisive was the only effective way to get her to stop beating around the bush.
“Don’t go. Actually, I wanted you to know too…”
“When did you start liking to leave things half-said like He Yizi?”
“Not really… well, maybe a little… I just wanted to… act a little spoiled with you alone…”
“It’s a bit cringe, but I guess it’s okay…”
She nodded with a smile and kept looking at me. Then she pulled a small black box from her pocket and handed it to me.
“Father asked me to give this to you. Open it and see?”
“Huh? Wasn’t this for the meeting? How come there’s a gift?”
“Hahaha, Father had someone give it to me at the end. He insisted I give it to you. Hurry and open it! Maybe Father found out about my feelings for you and gave me an engagement ring for us. Father is really impatient…”
I quickly cut off her wild speculation. “There’s no way it’s a ring like you said…”
I took the black box and gently pushed the top. It made a “click” sound. Inside lay a silver cross. As soon as she saw it, Fuwelle snapped the box shut and snatched it away.
“Why?”
“A cross is an item that repels vampires like you. Why would Father give you this? It will harm you.”
“I’ve read the books too. If this cross were harmful to me, I would have been purified the moment I got near it. It should be fine…”
“It’s precisely that careless attitude that will get you hurt. No, I’ll go ask Father next time. For now, I’m sealing this box!”
She took out a sealing talisman very seriously, tapped it on the box, and placed it in the center of the table.
“I don’t want you to disappear right in front of me.”
“Yeah, I don’t want to disappear in front of you either.”
“Anything else to say?”
“No. Oh, right. Are you still going to school next time?”
“Hmm… sure, I guess.” I replied.
Because there were people like me in that school, and I might have something to ask her later.
“Hmm, Chuye is the best!”
“Then I’m going to sleep?”
“Mm.”
She hugged me, and I let her out of habit. Then I opened the door and walked to the entrance.
When did the Young Master get so clingy… No, wait, when did I get used to her hugs? I was clearly rejecting them at first! Have I been assimilated, or have I fallen?
Thinking about it, I trudged with heavy steps toward my room. It was actually a study, but sleeping among many books wasn’t bad.
I opened the door and slowly lay down in the coffin. These past few days I’d been sleeping on a bed, so the coffin felt a bit uncomfortable now.
Just as I closed my eyes, something suddenly grabbed me hard, and I found myself in my “water.” Ashiya floated before me, pointing a finger at me.
“Your identity has been exposed in the royal family!”
“Huh?”
