(Knock Knock)

-Dawn ? are you in there ? come out we need to go...

Cecilia yelled knocking at my door telling me to come out...hearing her voice I was still slightly tired hestia was on top of me too we were still making out tasting each other without a stop cecilia's call was sudden and almost made me jump for a moment I also stopped kissing hestia and pushed her away slightly which she didn't like a lot growling at me with displeasure..

-Sorry...

I whispered I glanced at the door for a moment...I was glad that it was still locked..

-Hmph..

Hestia pouted also looking towards the door wishing the exact opposite what I was thinking about...

Without losing a second I quickly checked the time and realized that it had been 3 hours since both me and hestia had locked ourselves inside the room fooling around...I didn't even notice the time line until cecilia called...

-Hestia we have to go...I am sorry alright...I make it up later so please clothe alright...

Hearing my small plead hestia rolled her eyes again she was still laying on top of the bed with her nude self a bit bummed out,my eyes were constantly scanning her,but I quickly looked away trying to focus we needed to go...

(Knock Knock Knock)

-Hey dawn are you asleep or something what are you even doing ?

Cecilia said annoyed her voice also held a small amount of suspicion in them she was about to shout or knock the door again when she realized that the door was opening.

-uh..?

I smiled coming out of the room I wore the suit that cecilia had chosen for me...it was a pure black one with a red tie and a black undershirt the material was soft and easy to move in I also had fitting shoes with it my body odor was also very clean and edgy because of a perfume that cecilia bought me with the whole set.

-Sorry...I fell asleep..

I said with a small embarrassed expression on my face cecilia looked at me skeptical,she took the chance to glance at hestia for a moment who was standing behind me showing a slightly annoyed expression,but nonetheless the room was traceless and our appearance was clean to the point of purity and all of this was accomplished in a mere time line of a single second...

-Hmm..alright lets go steward will be waiting...we won't travel through a cab we use the transportation circle.

-Ugh..

I cringed...I hated that thing...cecilia probably knew that too smiling towards me with a sadistic look on her face...

Our conversation pretty much ended here cecilia took a few moments to properly appraise me up and down to see if my clothing was set correct after a few minutes she nodded to herself approving of the way I was taking myself.

Soon after cecilia,me,hestia and leraje started to go upstairs towards the magic circle to transport the other girls in the house gave us a small goodbye before I left I gave melony a knowing nod which she accepted and returned with her reassured look in her eyes.

She would handle it I didn't need to worry.

With those thoughts I said my goodbye to everyone it was a touching to be hones even though we would come back after after midnight or so..

After that we all proceeded to go towards the transportation circle I didn't know where we were supposed to go thats why I let cecilia handle the part while standing inside the circle thinking to myself.

-dawn..

-yes ?

I asked a bit surprised,from what I could see cecilia was still operating with the circle I wasn't expecting her to talk with me while doing that on top of that her expression this time was serious and also tense it made me flex up for a moment listening to her attentively.

-Be careful alright...this party isn't just any party there will be a lot of people attending the celebration some very powerful people at that its one of the best opportunities to plan a strike and even though you are my escort for this night...don't forget your duties..

I smiled understanding my position I spoke to her.

-Yes,madam I didn't forget my duties you can rest assured

Cecilia smiled.

-Thats good to know and dawn...

-yes ?

-Have fun alright ?

With those words the circle lighted up once again the feeling was fuzzy as everything in my vision turned blank transporting us towards our goal.

========================

-ugh...buh..

I held still shaking my head I endured the sensation of disgust welling up inside of me my vision was still slightly blurry and after a few seconds I could feel someones warm touch supporting me..

The touch was familiar I didn't even need to know who it was by looking at the face the warmth that was transmitted through the touch alone was enough for me to recognize.

-Thanks hestia..

-hmph..

Hestia grunted acknowledging I also stabilized myself and looked up for a moment,feeling the refreshing sweet smell of the air around us made me realized that we were currently standing outside,wind blew softly as the sound of voices and footsteps resounded throughout the area...

-This...

-Its the senjins main house this is where the celebration will take place

Cecilia answered evenly looking up towards the gigantic mansion that was decorated with all kinds of greenery and was accessed through a long staircase leading up.

Looking around you could see dozens of different people walking around their attire immediately identified them of who they were be it personal or guest there was no shortage of guards around here wielding heavy weaponry of modern time and also holding staffs to cast their deadly spells towards their enemies without a word this place was heavily guarded to the point of blank range.

-Madam you have arrived...

Steward showed up on our arrival standing to our side with his butler uniform and straight pose,steward was dressed as usually he didn't accept the invitation and instead came as a guard.

Without a word we started to approach steward I kept my alert high even in such a highly protected area you wouldn't know what kind of thing the opponent would be able to pull off.

For a second I glanced towards the sky,the sun was going down showing a beautiful twilight scenery soon the celebration would begin until then people were getting accepted all over the place showing their invitations towards the personal and then getting passed up walking up the stairs towards the mansion.

Steward and cecilia talked for a bit before we decided to go to the reception to show our invitations I had mine in my pocket and cecilia probably had hers inside her dress too.

Now looking closer at cecilia I noticed that she looked awfully charming today wearing her purple dress she looked like a high class woman which she was actually..

-hmm...is anything the matter ?

Cecilia asked she noticed my stare and turned around to ask me with her confused expression.

I smiled and said honestly.

-You look beautiful with that dress its very fitting actually..

My sudden flattery took cecilia off guard as her face suddenly flushed red steward on the side smiled almost cracking up himself while cecilia fluttered with her hands at me embarrassed...

-That...don't you think you are saying this a bit too late ?!

I thought for a moment...yes,she was right I could have said that when we were at my house at the time she also wore the dress...hmm why didn't I compliment her at the time I wonder...

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

It wasn't anything important it was just that I am sensitive when it comes to small details like this maybe my mind at the time was too much in a turmoil scared to be found out...

As I was thinking about it hestia elbowed me to the side...the hit was strong almost making me cough out when I glanced at her I noticed that she had a pretty ugly expression on her face very displeased...it was understandable having your lover compliment another woman then her in front of her would obviously cause something like this and seeing hestia's temper she was already enduring a lot of nonsense when it came to me..

-You look very ordered yourself dawn...

Steward said appraisingly looking up and down my body mainly praising the suit I guess.

At this point we stopped our idle talk and finally decided to go towards the reception area to give our invites at the time cecilia raised her arm next to me locking eyes with me it made me confused for a few seconds until I realized what her implications were I looked at her arm and at the same time I could feel the fiery rage behind me ignite almost daring me into holding arms with cecilia,but in the end I couldn't do anything about it and just gave cecilia my arm after all I was supposed to act as her escort tonight...

-Sorry...

I whispered letting hestia know that I didn't do this because I wanted to and she probably understood too,but help feeling like this..

-Grrr...

Hestia growled she did it very quietly only for me to hear leraje in the meantime was very confused why both of us were muttering like this,he heard,but didn't question it,I wouldn't even mind if he knew about me and hestia's relationship since he was a trustworthy guy.

Anyways we finally started departing towards the reception on the way many individuals stopped and glanced towards cecilia and myself this was inevitable since cecilia was a heiress to one of the major families making it a matter of course that she would be noticed like this,but the problem was that she wasn't the only one who was being discussed...

-Who is that boy ? He is pretty handsome could he be someone big ?

-No,I don't think so at least I don't know him thats for sure...

-He is her escort so it must mean that he has some kind of background he also seemed to be invited to this celebration meaning that the senjins acknowledge him as someone..

The people around us gossiped and whispered to each other quietly speculating my background or who I was In the end no,one knew who I really was which was obvious since I am only a normal bodyguard and nothing else.

The added attention towards me was a bit nerve wrecking,but not too disturbing,cecilia wasn't even fazed by this many pair of eyes directed towards us her demeanor was graceful and royal it was a state that I probably couldn't acquire by just learning,this kind of composure showed the difference between us quiet well.

On the topic the people were looking at us,but they weren't approaching us which was weird,in the end I didn't think of it as much and just headed towards the reception with cecilia in hand behind me stood leraje and hestia both of which were focused on their own duties the people around here weren't all just humans I could feel abnormalities in some of them I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be like this or not I made sure that it was the case by asking stewards opinion his answer to this was that the senjin family also operated with different races so it wasn't strange for non-humans to come to such place which made me calm down a bit more.

Anyways both me and cecilia were just about to hand our invites to the receptionist,but just as we were doing so a person jumped in front of us quiet rudely...from the bodily proportion I could see that he seemed to be as young as us,but on the other hand he didn't seem to be human like us his feeling him through my sense's I discovered that he was actually..a vampire ?

-Hey you don't you think that it is quiet rude to jump the line ?

Steward said with a displeased tone in his voice cecilia on the other hand just observed she also had that severe look on his face,but didn't say anything nor did I.

The person in front of just gave his invite turning his head up he turned around in one smooth motion staring at us with his dark brown eyes he had a small smile plastered on his face crooking his head while looking at us with a unsure expression on his face..

-Oh..is that so...I am sorry I didn't see you..

His voice was cold almost chilling even,but that didn't bother me his gaze swept towards us he first looked at steward and then me finally putting his line of sight towards cecilia there was small glint of charm and amusement in his eyes as he stepped forward lightning fast true to his vampire nature and strength...his action was sudden it alarmed me for a moment,but when I saw stewards reaction I could see that he wasn't worried to the slightest and just watched wary of this guy.

-How beautiful you are madam...please give me the honor to take your hand for a moment as a sign of my apology...

He sounded truthful,but I could see that he wasn't in the slightest cecilia was also disturbed,but looking around you could see that the crowd were starting to give us unnecessary attention outright refusing him didn't seem to be the option and cecilia knew that giving him some face to apologize was for the best.

Cecilia sighed and without a word she gave the vampire youth her hand he quickly grabbed gracefully bowing down and kissing the back of her hand...some of the females in this group watched and seemed to be captivated by this spectacle made by the vampire youth...

He was sniffing...I could tell the inner half of his eyes were pure of lust showing his own nature to the blood that seeping inside of the hand he was holding...

-Thats enough...

I said slowly pulling cecilias hand from the creep...the sudden pull made cecilia trip towards me as she fall in my embrace,the females started to wail and shriek seeing my bold move the vampire youth was also displeased and glared at me with a deathly stare only to realize that it didn't have any effect on me on the opposite I challenged his gaze with my own making him blink unconsciously and lose some of his own face.

-hmph...I apologize once again for my strange mannerism from where I come from this is normal and since I am new to this country I haven't just yet made myself comfortable with the environment I hope that this incident won't our opportunity to know each other a bit more closer...on the topic my name is Dustin van dyke today I came as an escort with my aunt I am sorry to have had jumped your line I was in a hurry my aunt must probably be already inside so excuse me please.I hope we meet again..miss...

-Cecilia greenwood..

Cecilia replied not adding anything to her sentence and just giving the guy a dead pan expression.

-Very well cecilia I hope we meet again sometime soon...

He said leaving towards the stairs with his lightning speed before he left he gave me one last stare to taunt,but didn't succeed..

Leraje who was standing behind me came closer and whispered in a solemn tone.

-This vampire right here is a pure blood vampire his speed and perception seem to be very exceptional at that too..
