Claude showed up as Cedric said those words. "Wouldn"t it be nice to have you"re loved more active during all times of the day but she is special in the sense that she sleeps to store her powers. I am sure as time goes on things may change.""You might be right Claude. I believe I will get a phone call soon and have to go see my aunt. Sophia might not have gone home but it is better for us if she went there." Cedric turned and walked back to the bathroom. "Answer the phone for me."
"Yes, sir." Claude sits on a chair by the window and ensures all the windows are closed properly. Then he looks up at the bed. "He is truly treating you like a slave to cover everything." Just then the phone beside him rings and on the third ring he picks up. "Cedric"s castle where crazy s.h.i.+t happens. How may I help you?"
Claudia was about to freak out but hearing that is was not Cedric"s voice she heard. Her voice turned stern, "you should not answer my nephew"s phone like that."
"Why not? It"s not like anyone else calls this household. So what is the nature of this call?" Claude rolled his eyes.
"If you are not going to act properly don"t bother answering the phone. Where is Cedric? I am calling for him and not you." Claudia scoffs and glares daggers at the phone.
"Oooooo, I"m so scared I"m shaking in my leather shoes. Cedric is in the shower, so you are stuck with me at the moment.~" Claude hears a click then bursts out in laughter and hangs up the phone. He watches Yuki sleeping and sighs. "It would"ve been better if she had stayed hidden in the dark but now her focus is going to recover her lost memories. I wonder how she will feel after gaining back all her memories? It"s not like I know how she will feel. I am myself and I don"t have a lot of emotions anymore."
Cedric stepped out of his shower and got dressed quickly and then walked out to see Claude laughing. "What is so amusing?"
"Oh, I just had my daily dose of fun. I am sure your aunt hates me more than you now but we both know I am not the one she hates the most." Claude looks over at Yuki.
Cedric sighs, "I already know what you are thinking. Thanks to you she will be protected. I will call her back." He picks up the phone and dials the number and waits for the call to connect.
Claudi picks up the ringing phone. Angrily she said, "What didn"t get enough the first time?"
"If that is the way you want to be I will hang up," Cedric answered in a cold clipped tone.
"No, I"m sorry, Cedric. That was not meant to be for you but someone else." Claudia panics and she can feel a cold sweat go down her back. "I was calling to ask what happened to your slave? You sure did a number on my secretary."
"Am I to report to you when I break something that is mine?" Cedric"s voice goes down an octave. "As for Sophia, you were the one who sent her to me. Was it not a gift that I could partake in? You have always sent her to me in the past so I thought I could continue to satisfy my l.u.s.t and then set her free back to you."
Claudia s.h.i.+vered and could hear what Cedric was saying. "At least she made it back to me. I prefer my good workers in one piece. I noticed that you have requested more chocolates than normal is everything alright?"
"If there was a problem would we be calmly chatting on the phone?" getting bored with the conversation Cedric opened the humidor and picked out a medium brown colored cigar, punched a hole in the bottom and then lit it up. Slowly he started to smoke the cigar and the smoke slowly filled the room. He held it out for Claude.
Claude took the cigar and took a puff of it and then handed it back wordlessly.
"Well that is true but I heard through the grapevine that you have employed Claude for guarding purposes. With him answering the phone I see that it a fact and not a rumor." Claude sat in her chair and had a deer in headlights look on her face. She was intimidated by the aura she felt through the phone.
"So what? I can employee anyone I want. Claude is here because I want a guard for my house. There seems to be a lot of break-ins lately. I heard through the grapevine that someone broke into the Royal Vampires manor. So with me being the next on the hit list why wouldn"t I protect my property?" Cedric smoked the cigar and tapped the ashes in the ashtray.
"Oh, I see. That would make sense. I"m sorry for troubling you when you are so busy. When you are done with your business, would you please come to the workplace as there are some files that I need you to come and review and sign. Since I am only the figurehead for this company I can"t do a lot without your permission."
"So this is the true nature of your call. Instead of wasting my time on idle chit chat next time just ask me outright. I will make time at noon today. If that is all I"m hanging up." Cedric didn"t wait for a response and hung up the call.
"You can feel the fear coming from your aunt. That fear feeds your demon. You are great and I am lucky to be your best friend. Claudia is conspiring against you. Sephira is going to be a good one to have gained control over of. I hope that Claudia sends her over to me. I want a taste of her. I am after all a werewolf. I may not live as long as you but my life is still longer than a human. I do need to satisfy my l.u.s.t and a virgin is a treat that is rare and having her as my slave now will be fantastic." Claude s.h.i.+vers in antic.i.p.ation.
"Do not forget why I have given her to you. If I can find out the cause for my clan being wiped out while I was away I will do so and to find a necromancer is the best way to find out. I want my revenge and my blood boils." Claude tightens his hand into a fist and his fingernails cut into the palms of his hands.
"You are adding more blood into the air. You better go and eat something as I will be leaving after you eat." Cedric sat down in the chair and continued to smoke the cigar.
