The days went on and the relationship between me and Nathaniel had warmed up enough to let me be able to call him a close friend. Even though it still feels awkward when I drink his blood, I think I am slowly getting used to it.

The men assigned by Lesker have been trying there best to find the culprits, yet very few clues about their whereabouts has been discovered.

I tried asking Levi but she said it is classified information which I have no access to.

Everyday, I plant a new sapling in the garden and water them as my daily task. I think I have found the easiest way to get this task done.

I was busy going through my assignments given by Lesker when a servant entered the study.

"Sir John and Sir Paul are here with few others. They are requesting your presence" the servant said.

I let the servant take his leave and fell into deep thoughts.

These were the people who were constantly defaming Nathaniel before him. And also the ones who liked to bully Nathaniel at every chance they got.

They always acted arrogantly and are totally detestable according to me. However, the previous owner was quite stupid as even though he didn't consider them as his true friends, he was not smart enough to get their harmful scheming out of the way.

I don't want to meet such people at all but I have to at least go there to shoo them away. Maybe, even cutoff their relationships with Lucas completely. That might be a good idea.

Yes, it is decided then. I will ditch those so called friends who are nothing but a nuisance for my peaceful life.

After all now I am going to live as Lucas. Who in their right mind would like to keep trouble by their side?

I left the study and while I was getting closer to the stairs that led to the main hall, I could hear the sounds of people who were constantly berating Nathaniel. All sorts of insults were being thrown at my companion without a care.

It felt as if a spark ignited inside me and I grit my teeth.

I was annoyed at first but now I was especially angry.

These people have no shame!

First they come to my house and then they scold my partner. I will definitely teach them a lesson that they will remember for eternity.

I had always liked my partner and wanted to be a good friend of his but I was feeling unhappy with the fact that he didn't think the same

I had always liked my partner and wanted to be a good friend of his but I was feeling unhappy with the fact that he didn't think the same. I, at first thought that things will get better with time and he will get accustomed to my presence then we will be the best Ruecraft-vampire pair alive. But things only went downhill since then. Lucas' friends hated me and insulted me. I knew that they would never dare to hurt me physically but they definitely didn't spare me from the mental torture. Listening everyday to profanities thrown at me was not as bad as when I saw Lucas' disgust filled gaze.

He is supposed to be my friend then why he is not?

I kept asking myself this very question everytime but could never come up with an answer.

I, no longer feel the need to think about that question anymore as after the incident that happened last time we seem to have left our past behind and started anew.

Now, there is yet another question that keeps floating in my mind without a stop.

Why is it that I don't want him as a friend?

No, a friend is not what I want him to be. I want more.

But more of what? Do I like him not as an ordinary companion but as a love interest.

The more I thought about it, the clearer it became.

I want him as a lover.

But he has just started to speak properly with me now, if I confess in haste, things may not end well.

I will not take any chances. I will slowly and carefully make him fall in love with me as well.

That way we will always be together.

The thought just made me feel like I was flying over the sky but my happiness was cut short by an annoyingly sharp voice saying "Look who is here, isn't it the weakling? Why are you running around instead of staying inside your room like a good dog?"

My lips twitched slightly in irritation after looking at the people gathered in front of the stairs. These people were the ones that loved trampling on my pride as a Ruecraft companion by saying I was not worthy enough to be a partner of Lucas. I despise them.

How dare they say that I shouldn't be with Lucas?

The one who spoke was Paul, a coward who likes to bully the weak and cater to the strong. If it was any other day, I would probably have ignored them, yet they just had to come and stop my happy musing over about how to make Lucas mine. I must teach them a lesson.
