**Aesira POV**

Waking up with the lingering bliss of kissing and cuddling Dracula, I sit up, beaming. Dracula, lying beside me, notes my happiness. "You look happy," he remarks. "I am!" I respond, perhaps a bit too loudly. His chuckle fills the room as he leans in for a kiss, but I playfully place a finger on his lips.

After the bath, Dracula presents me with a beautiful floor-length pink dress. Concern marks his face. "What's wrong, Dracula?" I approach him. "Another vampire will be here," he reveals, mentioning Erzebet Bathory. Recognition dawns, though I can't pinpoint where. "Can I meet her? You can say I'm your human pet!" I suggest, surprising Dracula. "Are you sure? She'll be here for a few weeks," he cautions. I nod eagerly, curious to meet this mysterious vampire.
