The room was quiet and only a big gulp was heard from the red drink.
After finishing the battle that looked more like it was, they were now in the Lawrence family's dining hall.
Richard glanced at Shawn and Dawn who now looked messy. However, their wounds were seen closing and starting to heal due to the blood they were now drinking.
"This blood feels amazing!" Richard praised after drinking a few more sips in his glass.
"Well, we always pay attention to the quality of the blood we get, so it's only natural that it feels amazing" Bianca replied flatly, he looked at Edward who seemed indifferent and just stared at the ceiling of the house.
"Blood Candy is better!" Of course the little murmur kept coming out of Edward's lips that looked unconcerned.
Erlando coughed softly and started the conversation "You're younger than you look in the photo, Dark Walker really made a bold decision by making you the 7th elder"
"Ah, not really! I'm still on trial!" Richard answered awkwardly.
Erlando simply nodded unconcernedly and re-opened his voice "So our family intends to make a pact with Dark Walker. We'll give you some blood samples, with the aim of canceling unnecessary wars!"
"I can't decide that directly!"
"I can see it" Erlando nodded in understanding, and then added "Take this file into your organization and tell them to quickly make a decision!"
"It's going to be a little difficult and take some time..."
Erlando snorted softly at Richard's statement before saying "We want to stop unnecessary wars not out of fear! But that's because it's too exhausting! If you guys don't make a quick decision then we'll be fine for an all-out war! But know that the winner in the end is definitely us."
Looking at Erlando's resolute and domineering answer, Richard subconsciously paled a little, he stared at Cornelia who was just sitting gracefully.
A beautiful girl who is very flashy in the group and does nothing. But Richard knew his power that seeing the future could not be ignored.
"I will try my hardest to get them to send a reply as soon as possible!" Richard smiled as he said that and then moved from his seat "I think everything has been settled, so it's better if we come back. Goodbye and thank you for the drink!"
"We'll send someone to the shadow headquarters so you can also leave!" Erlando said casually as he stared at the complicated-looking Shaw and Dawn.
Hearing this the two men nodded stiffly, after all they came not really wanting to be hostile or fight. They were only asked to do a little acting so that the face of the Shadow organization was not too smeared.
"We'll also make sure it doesn't happen again as long as you don't touch our people!" Bianca added as a sweet smile hung on her lips.
Shaw and Dawn shuddered coldly at the back when they saw that sweet smile that looked like the smile of a demon queen.
"Then we will also make sure to check every incoming job in the future!" Dawn sighed and rose up from where she sat, Shaw just watched before getting up too.
The group left the Castle with their respective complex feelings and rushed to report to their stronger superiors.
*****
A second of the hour passed leaving the Sun that began to dim and replaced by the Moonlight that illuminated the Earth's darkness beautifully.
The celebration they said to welcome Candy's arrival in the family looked lavish. Although the celebration is slightly different from most celebrations, because there is only one human among the Vampires.
"You know, it's fine if you drink blood. I don't mind..." Candy's voice seemed small as her amber-colored eyes stared at the surroundings that were focusing on her.
"Well, since you don't mind then I'll order the waiter to get you some red wine!" Bianca smiled sweetly at Candy and continued "Please eat as much as possible! Seeing you eat voraciously makes me remember good memories of being human..."
"That's right, seeing you enjoying food makes me happy" Erlando added as he smiled at Candy.
"No need to be nervous, we won't bite you! Because Prince Edward would be furious if we did that..."
"Cornelia!" Edward growled angrily at Cornelia who indifferently ignored him.
"Wouldn't you give her your blood often, she'd be fat like a pervert!" Cornelia scoffed and stuck her tongue out at Edward.
Candy smiled slightly holding back the laughter. The tense and nervous Suana he felt became lost instantly.
The dinner was peaceful and very warm. Bianca continued to add a lot of food on Candy's plate and overwhelmed the girl with satiety.
Edward constantly glares at his mother and Cornelia who taunts him and monopolizes Candy. Erlando himself just sat by their side while shaking his head slowly. It had been a long time that such warm atmosphere had not occurred in their family, and Orlando could not help but be grateful to Candy.
As the dessert was served, Erlando stood up from his chair and extended his hand towards Candy.
She smiled at Candy and said "Let me bring our main character to dance for a moment"
Candy gasped in surprise, she turned to look at Edward who was nodding slowly with a smile on his lips.
With a soft sigh Candy greeted Erlando's hand slowly and said "I'm not very good at dancing..."
"I'll guide you!" Erlando pulls Candy's hand until the girl falls into his arms.
The two of them walked towards the center of the Hall and began to dance with beautiful music.
Seeing this, the smile on Edward's lips grew even more. She was really, really grateful to meet Candy and bring her to this family.
For a long time he was able to interact freely with his family without having to argue and be hostile.
"She's a good girl!" Bianca was grateful as she stared at Candy. The woman walked closer to Edward and again said "She's a really good girl, I hope she won't get too hurt..."
Edward understood what his mother meant. She did not answer and just kept staring at Candy who was laughing happily and dancing with her father.
"He doesn't know the truth, does he?" Bianca once again made a sound, and once again there was no answer from Edward's lips. The woman sighed softly and resumed "When are you going to tell her?"
Edward turned his gaze from Candy to look at Mother, with his silver eyes shaking he replied quickly "Tomorrow..."
Bianca blinked lightly looking at Edward and nodded slowly. "I understand!"
He turned his gaze again to look at a middle-aged man who was in the middle darkness staring at Candy with a gentle face.
Bianca just wishes that, Arthur, Edward or Candy. All of them will not be too hurt and will get better when all the truth will be revealed by Edward.
