Here’s the chapter~ Sorry for the wait.
Shall"s POV
Even if I"m annoyed at the prince of conceitedness, it is still my duty to protect him at all cost. My credibility is at stake here.
I don"t even want to think all the bad things that the n.o.bles will say if I, the great Galatea, failed to protect the highest n.o.ble.
That b.i.t.c.h vampire raised her eyebrows at me. "You shorty, don"t meddle with me okay?"
She pulled the prince towards herself. So she really intends to kidnap the fool?
Veins emerged in my hands and my nails lengthened on each finger. With that, I destroyed a portion of the wall beside me.
"Do you know how heavy this hand of mine? Maybe you wanted your face to be like this wall beside me?" I threatened her.
She doesn"t know whose she"s dealing with. For sure, she will come to her senses later.
"NOIR!" I called to my older brother.
"—What"s the problem Shall?" he halted for a second when he saw us. Some vampires also went near him.
"MAKE ALL THE HUMANS SLEEP HERE RIGHT NOW!" I ordered to him.
The power of a Baron just like Noir is to give disturbances on the human minds. It doesn"t affect a vampire.
One by one, all the humans inside the bar fell asleep.
"—Noir!" He was captured by the two vampires who look like they are this horrid woman"s comrades.
"Don"t mind me, prioritize Hio!"
When I looked back, the b.i.t.c.h almost escapes while carrying Hio.
I wore gloves before taking out a small crucifix made of silver.
Silver is the weakness of a vampire, even I succ.u.mbed to it. But it is also a suitable weapon to fight a fellow vampire with.
The crucifix grew larger and changes its form. It changed into a spear.
It seems that the horrid b.i.t.c.h is having a problem with the door; it looks like she can"t get out.
"Why won"t the door open?"
I have taken the chance of her delay and immediately speared her.
The spear stabs her at her back and suddenly, smoke is coming from her.
I used the flash step1 and not even a second, I"m already behind her.
I pulled the spear and it quickly changed into a sword. Not even a moment notice; I stab her at her heart.
She"s screaming in pain because of the silver before completely turning into ash.
"—You killed Isadora! You"ll pay for this!" screamed of the fool who has taken hostage of my brother.
I changed the sword into a bow.
I quickly fired two arrows that separated and pierce the hearts of the two vampires holding my brother.
They screeched.
I hooked the life out of them as the arrows changed into a chain with a hook at the end of it.
I pulled Prince Moron"s collar and drag him across the floor towards Noir. It"s ok anyway he"s not even aware of it. "Are you hurt Noir?"
He didn"t answer; instead, he immediately went to the moron"s side.
I glance around and appraised the other vampires around the corridor.
"You there, if those vampires I killed earlier still have comrades here, REVEAL YOURSELVES so that I can also punish you!"
They all trembled in fear at what I said.
"Have you notice something earlier Shall?" Noir asked, already standing up as he handled the prince.
"—Indeed I have. There"s a barrier at the door earlier that is why the culprits didn"t get away. There"s a Marquis inside here for sure."
A Marquis is an expert in making barriers. They are higher in rank from the Counts but are lower than the Dukes.
The vampires I killed earlier were considered as barbarians for three reasons. One, they were not a n.o.ble. Second, they do not serve under any n.o.bles. Lastly, they did not consider the council as the law.
In other words, they just want to cause a pandemonium. And they"re in bad luck because they entered the wrong place to cause a chaos.
An idiot suddenly clapped. "Galatea, you have impressed me again."
He"s the Marquis that I"m talking about earlier.
He went near me and kissed the back of my palm.
"Oh, it"s you Lord Holic2" Whoever his mother is, I bow to her. Imagine that, his name matches his personality.
He"s been courting me for a long time now and I"ve also been rejecting him for a long time, but still, he won"t leave me alone. When he learned about me singing in this bar, he"s almost here every night.
Noir whispered to me. "You"re so picky Shall, with how you act like a man, be grateful that there"s still a n.o.ble who fancies you."
I glared at Noir and left them there.
I"m not picky. Maybe I still haven"t met the man who will make my world stop; a man who can own my life.
Hio"s POV
MY HEAD FREAKING HURTS!
As much as my back!
s.h.i.t.
"—Are you awake?"
When I opened my eyes, I saw Noir sitting beside me, watching me. I jerked my body and b.u.mp our foreheads in the process because of my surprise at seeing him.
F*CK! Another pain!
I sat properly. "—What happened? What time is it?"
"It"s four in the morning. You fell asleep because of drunkenness."
It"s new for me. How can I fall asleep drunk when I"m not even a huge drinker?
I leaned my chin on his shoulder and blown the hair at his sideburn. Nothing… I just have nothing to do.
"I"m going home ok?"
"—I will send you on your way then." He said.
"Ah, no need…The sun will rise soon when you get back here so…"
I know that he didn"t like to get shined down by the sun; just like my older brother and grandpa.
I thought then, that they"re the only ones like that.
I patted his shoulder as a farewell. "Ok, I"m going now."
I walked the way home. It"s only just thirty minutes walking from the bar then to our home anyway.
I"m still dizzy but I persevered. I have a feeling that there"s someone following me.
A dog maybe?
I glanced back.
Nothing
I continued walking.
When I got to the apartment…
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
"KAPEEE YOU MOTHER F*CKER OPEN THIS DOOOR!" I should really yell like there"s an accident because if not, for sure he"ll take his time to open the door.
It seems that there’s a commotion going on inside.
"—Wait a minute "bro!" he yells at the other side of the door and looks like he is talking to someone.
When the door opened, I swiftly knock Kape"s head who was zippering up his pants.
"—YOU F*CKER! Didn"t I tell you that no one should have s.e.x on the sofa?!"
"Chill bro", I just got excited. My woman is so gorgeous eh!" hey, I"m not envious.
I went inside and lock the door. Meanwhile, Kape already went inside his room.
I then went to the kitchen, open the fridge to get a gla.s.s of water then drink it.
Then I went back to the sala and turned on the LED TV before sitting on the sofa. I"m just watching the news to get myself to sleep.
I reached for the remote but when I grabbed it, a cloth of some kind went with it. At first, I thought it was a handkerchief but when I spread it open —
PANTY!
F*cking s.h.i.t. This is really the kind of situation that I will get myself on "KILL KAPE NOW" mode.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
Judas! Who"s that? Why did he still knock? HE SHOULD HAVE JUST BROKEN THE DOOR AND SPARE US THE COURTESY!
I opened the door anyway.
I stared slack-jawed at the person behind the door. Tentenenen…
It"s the plastic surgery shorty! What"s more is that she"s carrying a suitcase!
Don"t tell me…
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
"KAPE, YOU F*CKER GET OUT OF THERE RIGHT NOW!"
Kape bursts the door open. "WHAT IS IT AGAIN HEYO?! You"re a torbolence3!"
Son of a tadpole, waka-waka is bad for your brain.
I shoved him out of his bedroom. It"s a good thing that he"s wearing boxers.
"Dude, tell me the truth. Did you do her?"
Meanwhile "doll face" is just sitting pretty on the sofa while playing with the panty, like it"s some kind of a kite.
"Why is she here bro"?! Will you do her?" Looks like Kape just reversed the situation.
I knocked Kape"s head at what he said.
"She"s not even my type! Anyway, I"m the one who"s asking you why SHE IS HERE?! Did you get her pregnant? She"s carrying a suitcase for heaven"s sake!"
"No, I did not!"
Maybe I should just ask her?
"Go ahead Kape, I"ll just talk to her so you should go back to your room."
"Why are you here?" I ask as I approached the doll.
"Where"s my room?" wow! My query got overruled.
"This is not even your house for you to demand a room of your own."
"From now on, I will live here so WHERE IS MY ROOM? It should be a place where the sun won"t shine down okay?"
It"s hard to digest all of her demands. "—There are only two rooms here, there and there." I said as I pointed at the doors of my room and Kape, a thing that I shouldn"t really have done.
She stood up and drags her suitcase towards my room.
"HEEEEEEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!"
"I"m going to sleep."
When she went inside, she forcefully closed the door.
My roooom!
No choice. I will sleep here on the sofa.
That shorty should be thankful that she is Noir"s sister.
I removed the trash littering on the sofa and arranged the cushion. I"m about to turn off the TV when a commercial got my interest.
It"s an announcement of a ballet production show that is t.i.tled Swan Lake.
I"m not really into theater arts but the dancing prima ballerina who will be the main character of the show raised my attention.
Her skillful movement that matches the serenity of the music is beautiful.
When the camera close-up on her face, I felt an inexplicable joy in my heart.
At last, I have seen her again.
Medea…

2 Holic sounds like "Halik" which means kiss. Shall then pertains that Lord Holic matches his name because he is always kissing her (her hands that is).←
3 This is not a typo. It is deliberate because duh, it"s Kape! Kape is trying to say turbulence but then again I think that it"s not the appropriate word to use in that context but meh~ you get what he means ←
