Draconic Vampire : Curse of the Blood

Chapter 15: In a Good Mood

Going back to his room, Keith closed the door and sat on his bed. He circulated the blood qi and looked at his blood core. He knew that his growth was fast, but he also remembered the words his grandfather had said.

He didn’t know how it would affect his body if he absorbed too much blood essence at once. Still, he needed to get powerful, so he had to take the risk. For his freedom, he needed to be stronger than anyone.

As for the count title, he wasn’t too worried about that. With his level of growth, there was no one who would be a nuisance to him. What he wanted to know was, more about his father, and the council. Firstly, the council was the greatest threat to him. From what he heard, they kept all the vampires in check.

If he wanted to get strong, he needed vampire blood, which was forbidden on this continent. If he is found, the council will surely hunt him down. He wanted to know everything about the council, to prepare for possible retaliation.

The more information he knew, the more countermeasures he could plan. In the end, he was already a cannibal. If this ever gets out, he will be investigated for sure. He needed to keep a low profile while collecting vampire blood.

As he circulated his blood qi, his blood core responded and slowly absorbed the blood qi, and started condensing inside the core. The process was too slow, but it was essential to digest all the blood essence he got in one go.

A moment of silence descended in his room, as he was fully immersed in condensing blood qi. Several hours later, he heard a knock on the door.

” Come in.” He said in a stoic voice.

Rena opened the door and entered the room while holding a tray.

“Here is your lunch, young master.” Rena placed the glass on the table.

” Alright,” Keith replied casually while circulating blood qi.

” Is there anything else you need ?” Rena asked while looking at him.

” Nothing for now. You can go back.” He was focused on his circulation so he didn’t notice her gaze.

Rena stood there for some time without disturbing him. Looking at his calm face. Keith closed his eyes and focused on his circulation, but he still could feel her presence in the room. He didn’t know why she was there but didn’t say anything.

One hour passed and Rena was still there, standing beside the table. Keith opened his eyes and looked at her.

” Why are you standing there?” Keith asked.

” Oh… I was just looking at you, if you want me to leave, then I will excuse myself.” Rena lowered her head.

” You don’t have anything else to do?”

” I finished all the work in the morning, and now that I am your maid, there is nothing much for me to do anyways. I rested as you instructed and ate a lot. I don’t have anything to do right now, so I was thinking of staying by your side.” Rena said with a flushed face.

‘ This girl’

” If you want to stay, then why don’t you sit here.” Keith looked at the bed.

Rena slowly walked to the bed and sat on the corner. Keith didn’t say anything as he went back to circulating his qi.

” Young master, you’ve changed after that day. You have a different aura around you.” Rena mumbled.

His eyebrows twitched after hearing that. He was careful enough, but somehow Rena was able to guess that he was different. Even though she didn’t know that he was a completely different person, she picked up the different behavioral changes in him.

He remembered how she was the one that spent the most time with him, They were close after all. After he came to this world, he kept a distance from her. This sudden change in behavior definitely aroused some suspicion from her. After thinking for a bit, he cleared his mind.

” Well, you could say that. After I woke up, I felt completely different. My body felt new and my disability was gone.” Keith replied to her.

” When I heard that you were gravely injured, I was devastated. I took care of you when you were in here unconscious. I didn’t know if you were going to survive. Your wound was really deep. If it wasn’t for great elder I’m afraid you would’ve..”

” Well, I am lucky to have survived that. And thanks to your care, I could stay alive for some time.”

” I couldn’t do anything. I was helpless.” She burst into tears.

” Don’t be like that. Nobody could have healed me aside from grandpa. You don’t have to feel bad. And that also cured my disability, so you could say that it was a blessing in disguise.” Keith consoled her.

” And besides, I am not weak anymore. So, no one will dare to go against me.”

” Mhmm… I was really amazed by how you defeated him. Everyone is talking about it now.”

” That was nothing, I didn’t even use half of my power. If I did, he would’ve been dead.” Keith said while swinging his arm.

Rena giggled softly. The atmosphere turned lively after that.

” Don’t worry, in this castle, aside from grandpa, no one can go against me.”

“I am glad that I became your maid young master.” Rena gave a hearty smile.

” Well, I am also lucky that I got such a caring maid. Hmm… you look good, the new diet is taking effect, I see.” Keith noticed that she looked healthier and her cheeks were more fluffy.

” Really? I’m glad that young master likes my change. But won’t you hate me if I got too fat?” She pouted.

” Yeah, I will double your workload, so it won’t be a problem. Exercise is also important after all.” Keith grinned as he replied.

” I am used to working hard, so I will see what kind of tasks you will give me. I am no pushover.” She puffed her chest.

” I see that you’ve more talkative…”

Rena bit her lips with embarrassment after she realized how she was talking to him.

” It’s fine, I like that you’re opening up more.”

” I should leave. If I stay here, you will keep getting distracted by me.” Rena got up from the bed and hurriedly left the room.

” I hope you stay like this, even if I am not here.” He mumbled after she left the room.
