Noblesse of the Dead [A Noblesse Fan Fiction]

VII

Third person's POV

The sun began its descent, leaving the sky empty for the moon to take control.

On top of a skyscraper, two figures sat on a bench, a content silence engulfing the duo.

Looking up at the sky, Annalise sighed, attracting Raizel's attention to the crimson eyed noble next to him.

Seeing as she has his full focus, Annalise began speaking in a soft voice, her eyes wondering to the beautifully coloured flowers. "I want to apologize for not coming to see you after I formed my contract with Amelia." Sadness dripped from every word she said as Raizel looked at her intently, his ruby coloured eyes laced with kindness as he watched her. "I guess I simply forgot...I..." she stopped herself to let a few stray tears run down her rosy cheeks.

Bringing up one hand, Raizel whipped away the hot tears with his thumb and simply offered her a kind smile, to which she replied with one of her own. "What I want to say is..." she took a deep breath and whipped her eyes, still smiling at him "I'm sorry for not being there whenever you needed me."

"There was no harm done." Raizel replied, his face unemotional, but a happy glint overtaking his eyes.

"To be honest, I wanted to come visit you." At that, The Noblesse looked straight at her, but she didn't meet his gaze, letting her own wander to the darkening sky. "820 years ago, I came back in Lukedonia to see you, only to find war and a multitude of souls to collect. After that, I went to sleep, discarding my precedent plans."

His eyes still on her, she chuckled. "But I'm glad I got to see you again."

"Likewise."

Annalise sighed, knowing that she will never get a longer response. He was never a man of many words.

"I must say, it was a pleasant surprise to see you at school. I could have never imagine you leaving your mansion, or that little room at that matter." Stating this, Annalise began laughing wholeheartedly as Raizel blushed at her teasing him.

The only person that could make Raizel blush in that way was the girl next to him, who, despite being almost always serious and stoic, had a playful and childish side to her cold mask.

Looking at his slightly pink cheeks, Annalise smirked, knowing full well what effect she had on her friend - her first friend.

Raising from where she was seated, Annalise grabbed Raizel's hand, dragging him trough the beautiful garden and different flowery fragrances. "Allow me to give you a tour trough my little corner of Heaven." She smiled.

Being aware that he couldn't change her mind, Raizel allowed himself to be guided by her hand within the different flower bushes.

Not longer than two hours passed and Annalise decided to head back down to the lounge. After speaking her suggestion to Raizel, she received a curt nod and resumed guiding him, this time to the modern-looking living room, where she was welcomed by a questioning sight; Amelia talking to Frankenstein by the window, Jeriko braiding Seira's hair and Kiroko explaining something to Regis. But that wasn't what made her have questions, it was a matter of where are the others.

"Amelia/Frankenstein." They made their presence known, saying the names at the same time.

The said duo was now as stiff as a board, both having a scared look in their eyes.

'They didn't hear anything, right?' The two asked themselves as they look at their masters.

"Where are the other guests?" Annalise asked before Raizel.

Seeing as there was no danger, Amelia responded "They are currently with the girls in different locations within the building."

"I see."

"Frankenstein." Raizel suddenly said, making the said male slightly jump.

"Yes, Master?"

"Call the others back." Raizel ordered.

"Right away."

Noticing the presence of the Noblesse, the two young Nobles sat up and bowed their heads in respect, action that - strangely - made Annalise giggle to the point she had to put a hand on Raizel's shoulder for support as the raven haired male looked at her in amusement.

The white haired Nobles were dumbfounded in confusion, looking at each other as if they were dreaming, action that made Annalise abandon her giggles and adopt a melodious laughter, making Raizel chuckle as well at her.

Still in confusion, the two looked at Jeriko and Kiroko, searching for an explanation, yet they were snickering to themselves, completely ignoring the confused Nobles. Reverting their gaze to Amelia with the same intention, they received a simple amused smile and a playful shrug of her shoulders.

Taking notice of the action displaying in front of him, Frankenstein simply smiled seeing his Master with such a happy aura around himself.

A few moments passed and the rest of the guests returned with the 'missing' girls, who, at the sight of their Mistress laughing, began giggling as well.

Confusion poured upon the newly arrived enhanced humans, making them as dumbfounded as two certain white haired Nobles.

Finally calming herself, Annalise took in a few breaths and looked at Raizel who was breathing slightly heavier. "I missed these moments where we would laugh out of stupid stuff." She confessed, making the Noblesse nod, an amused look lingering in his eyes.

"It's time to head back home, Master." Frankenstein said, ruining their moment.

Sighing, Annalise walked with Raizel to the elevator, where the others were waiting.

"I'll see you tomorrow at school, Raizel." Annalise smiled as she received a nod.

"Bye Rai-Rai." She finally said right before the elevator doors closed shut.

Hearing Annalise say his nickname again after all this time made Raizel stiffen.

Curious at his Master's reaction, Frankenstein looked at his face and smiled.

He was blushing.

Hi, readers!

First! I want to say thank you for reading my fanfic. I'd love if you'd comment more often, but that's not important right now.

Second! I announce you that in the following chapter I will talk more about Annalise's story and how she came to be The Right Hand Of God. And yes, there is a Left Hand Of God, but they're gonna appear later.

Again, thank you for your support on this book.
