Chapter 201 Vanessa's Story 1



Vanessa's Castle.

Pavillion, Garden.

Vanessa led Nathan to her garden that is full of bright and colorful flowers.

You can also see pretty looking butterflies flying over those flowers as if they are taking care of them.

Nathan and Vanessa sat inside the pavilion while their eyes were at the scenery around them.

"Sigh, what a beautiful sight this is." Said Nathan, with reverie on his tone.

"Isn't it," Vanessa proudly said, "I worked very hard to create this part of my home."

Nathan nodded, "Uhum, just by looking at all this, I already know that you worked hard to turn this into what it is now, a paradise."

Vanessa smiled softly and did not say anything more.

Pa-Pak!

After a while, she clapped her hand twice and suddenly, a girl who seems to be in her teenage years came running towards them.

She was wearing a maid outfit, the normal one but still exudes with a whole lot of charm for some reason.

The girl stopped running when she arrived beside Vanessa and with a cheery voice, she asked,

"How may I help you, my lady?"

While she was talking to Vanessa, the girl also took a few sneaky glances at Nathan who was also staring at her in a daze.

Nathan's eyes were fixed on the back of the girl, not because of perverted thoughts or anything like that.

It was because, behind the girl, there is a purple colored tail with a heart-shaped tip, swaying from time to time.

Seeing that Nathan seems curious at her maid, Vanessa introduced the girl, "This child is Melissa, my assistant and my friend."

"Melissa, this is my guest, Nathan. Make sure to treat him with respect whenever you see him."

"Understood, Lady Vanessa." Replied Melissa before she turned towards Nathan and bowed her head politely,

"Hello, Mr. Nathan, if there's anything you need, please don't hesitate to call for me." Melissa said with a smile.

Nathan nodded, "I'll do just that, thank you, Melissa."

Seeing that the two are now acquainted, Vanessa turned her eyes back to Melissa,

"Melissa, please bring us some tea and snacks that will go along with it."

"Understood, Lady Vanessa."

Melissa bowed at Vanessa for the last time before unhurriedly leaving the pavilion.

At Melissa's fading silhouette, Vanessa let out a sigh full of sadness.

"Sigh, that child, she's so pitiful."

Nathan raised an eyebrow when he heard her words.

"Pitiful? What do you mean?"

At Nathan's question, Vanessa slowly turned her eyes to the blooming flowers in the garden, but her eyes seemed to be full of complicated emotions.

After a while she said, "Since you used your appraisal on me earlier, you should know some information about me, right?"

Nodding, Nathan replied, "Yeah, a little information just like how you're friendly to humans."

Putting her elbow on the table, Vanessa supported her head with her hand and said,

"Hmm, I don't know if that's really all you learned but, it doesn't matter."

She turned her eyes at him and asked, "Do you know what happens to those demons who are friendly to humans or more like, any other races?"

Nathan can't help but think of the word 'exiled' that he saw on Vanessa's information.

Unconsciously, he blurted out, "Exiled?"

After realizing what he just said, Nathan froze for a moment before letting out a sigh.

Vanessa smiled at him playfully, "I guess that proves that me being friendly to humans is not everything that you saw."

"Sigh, I'm sorry about that." Nathan said, "I just thought that you might get mad if I said that I know more."

Vanessa shook her head, "No, it doesn't matter."

She became silent for a while after saying that, then she opened her mouth again and said,

"Since you seem to know a lot already anyway, I guess it won't matter if I told you my story."

Nathan suddenly got interested after hearing those words of Vanessa.

Although he indeed learned quite a lot of information about her already, it's still a different information if he can hear it directly from the mouth of the person in the question.

Vanessa turned her eyes at the flying butterflies and her voice sounded and the story of her life came out from her mouth.

Vanessa's PoV

"Young Lady, Young Lady, please wake up!"

I heard a loud cry of a familiar person sound out in my ear.

When I opened my eyes, I saw our family's head maid waking me up with obvious fear and tears on her face.

"You're finally awake, Young Lady!" Said the head maid once she saw me open my eyes.

Feeling confused, I slowly sat up on the bed, still feeling sleepy and asked, "...Auntie Min? Yawn~ What's the problem?"

Before Auntie Min even got the chance to say anything, the door to my room suddenly opened.

My father, along with my mother, walked inside with hurried steps.

Without even giving me a chance to say anything, my father opened his mouth and said, "Vanessa, we're leaving!"

Not understanding the situation, I did not react immediately.

At this time, it was my mother who helped me recover.

She sat down on my bed and gave me a gentle hug.

She whispered, "Everything will be alright. Don't ask questions for now, okay? You will have to go for now, away from mom and dad."

I don't know what's happening, but even though I'm just 7 years old, as a descendant of a vampire duke family, I am much more mature than normal.

I did not ask questions, I just got up from my bed and followed my mother and father.

My father took the lead and we went through a secret passage within the castle that I did not know about.

Soon, we reached the end of the passage and it was a dead end, a wall is right in front of us and there's no other way besides going back the way we went through.

Just as I was feeling confused, Father muttered some incantations and the secret passage suddenly started shaking.

Then slowly, I saw the wall in front of us separate into two and open up an exit that leads to the forest.

Father turned his eyes on me and said,

"We're here."
