Rose stayed for night in the Vane`s mansion as she reminisced in the past along with Arthur and Ella till midnight.
Considering it was bad to let her leave at such hour; he told her that she could stay the night which she agreed with buried enthusiasm underneath.
She slept in Ella`s bedroom as the two girls didn`t sleep and stayed quite late remembering their childhood memories and so on.
While Arthur was laying in his bed deep in thought for some time until he decided to sleep and rest his overworking mind.
Then time passed until he suddenly felt someone opening the door to his room. After all, since he turned into a vampire his sense was enhanced. So, he felt it easily and that made him awake.
But he didn`t open his eyes and continued pretending that he was asleep as he didn`t feel any ill intent from whoever entered.
Then he felt that person climbing on the bed before in the next moment, he felt a soft hot body pressed against his back as he was on his right side.
He could feel two big and soft pillows on his toned back while a pair of delicate and smooth arms wrapped around him as he could feel the hot breath on the back of his neck.
"You can`t imagine how much I have missed you Arthy~" A soft voice filled with longing spoke near his ears and Arthur knew for sure whom it belonged to.
It was his childhood friend, Rose.
Her body pressed harder against him making him feel the heat even more, while her breaths got heavier against his skin.
"All that time we were separated, I couldn`t get you out of my mind, Hnnngh~"
’Was that a moan?’ Arthur asked himself inwardly.
Then suddenly, the heat disappeared making him feel a sudden sense of loss?
But right after that, he heard the rustling sound behind him as if something was sliding off a smooth surface before in the next second, the heat returned but it was more intense than before.
The delicate arms wrapped around his chest tightly while her fingers began roaming his toned and hard chest possessively.
"I missed you soooo much~" Then came her soft voice that didn`t have any hint of the playfulness of before, but was heated, filled with intense emotions.
Then he began feeling her rubbing her soft sexy body against him while her breathing got quicker.
"Not a single day passed without thinking about you Arthy~ You even appeared in my dreams, every night~" As she said so, she took a deep inhale of his masculine scent that made her shudder and rub herself harder against his body while feeling her lower lips getting wetter.
’In what way exactly you were dreaming about me?’ While Arthur asked the question inwardly already feeling exasperated by her words and weird behavior.
Then after some more time, she stopped before retracting her hands back and got away before wearing her clothes, then walked out of the room as stealthy as possible.
’Well, that was a very strange way of saying I love you, I guess?’ He said to himself after she had left.
It was very clear to him after they had met ealier and now it confirmed it even more.
Nonetheless, Arthur smiled to himself as he felt that the way that she expressed her feelings was quite unique and edearing.
’Anyway, let’s sleep for now.’ After thinking so, he closed his eyes to sleep and relax his mind.

Next day.
Arthur woke early in the morning, did his usual training routine before taking a relaxing bath then went to wake up his sister and Rose.
When he entered the room after a knock, he saw his sister and Rose sleeping in the most comfortable way to them.
He glanced at Rose for a moment before deciding to wake them up.
Though being a vampire meant superior body and mind, but they still felt the need to sleep, a habit.
And habits never die that easily.
After waking them up, both girls took a bath before going to the living room.
"Well, there is no breakfast or what?"Rose said without feeling any awkwardness at all, she was totally comfortable. And both siblings liked her that way.
"The chef is already making it." Arthur said.
Arthur already replaced the servants in the mansion as it was big and needed care, but the number was lower than before though.
After all, the mansion wouldn’t be run by itself.
"Good, then we can relax~" As she said so, she rested her head on Ella’s shoulder making the black haired, greed eyed girl giggle softly.
While Arthur sighed before turning on the TV.

In the Rains’ mansion, at the outskirts of New York.
"What did you just say?" Ava looked at Nadia, the expressionless maid that was standing in front of her, with incredulous look.
"The queen wishes to see your husband." Nadia said.
"No fucking way! That can’t happen!" The girl was serious.
"It’s an order not a request, young miss."
"Ugh, that’s ridiculous! Can’t let any bitches see my husband. He is mine!" Ava said with a fervent gaze as her eyes turned blood-red and glowed intensely.
"Why are you so sure that any woman who sees your husband will become infatuated with him?" Nadia said with a raised eyebrow.
"That’s simple, he the handsomest man alive and no woman can resist his natural charms~" Ava said with a lovesick grin mixed with smugness as she imagined Arthur’s face in her mind.
’She is beyond saving.’ The maid thought as she saw how youngest daughter of the Rains clan looked this lost in love.
"Well, if won’t tell him, then I will."
Once Ava heard this, she snapped.
"Wait, you can’t just—"
But it was too late. Nadia had already disappeared.
"YOU BITCH!!"

It was a good day for both Arthur, his sister and Rose. They spent it together shopping or playing games in the arcades or internet cafe.
Ella really enjoyed her time as she laughed and played a lot.
And yes Ella and Arthur could walk during the day which shouldn’t be possible for a vampire according to the myths.
But he figured that his sister could walk normally under the sun, it didn’t affect her much just made her feel weak and her skin got paler, but anything than that, she was alright.
Though, she feels uncomfortable with the crosses.
Maybe an instinct?
But to him, he didn’t feel anything at all, just normal.
Anyway, after enjoying their time, they returned home. It was 6 in the evening and the sun had nearly sat.
"Wow that was amazing. I really enjoyed today guys~" Rose said as she sat her plump soft bottom on the couch completely relaxing on it.
"Glad you liked it, but there are still a lot of things to enjoy though." Ella said with a content smile.
"Don’t worry, there will be chances to enjoy them in the future. After all, time is all that we got." Rose said with a nonchalant tone.
But right then, a knock was heard.
Knock!
Knock!
"Come in." Arthur granted the permission.
The door opened and a servant walked in.
"Something’s wrong?"
"Someone wishes to meet you, my lord. They say the name is Nadia."
This made Arthur confused as to why she came to his mansion out of the blue. It was suspicious.
But nonetheless, he felt that there was something wrong with that sudden visit.
"Where is she now?"
"In the guest room, my lord."
"Okay, I’m coming right away."
As he said so, he excused himself before he went to the guest room, leaving behind Ella who also had that confused look and Rose whose eyes narrowed for a split of second.
.

.
Arthur knocked on the door of the guest room before entering.
He then found Nadia already standing up as she saw him entering.
"What brought you here?" He said as he closed the door before gesturing for her to sit while he sat opposite to her.
"I came to deliver an invitation." She went straight to the point while slightly adjustjng her glasses.
"An invitation?" He asked, his confusion increasing.
She nodded. "Yes."
"You are invited to have an audience with the queen of vampires, Queen Gloria Steinem Tepes."
