The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S2) Chapter 61 [Life of Rubylia Arsilla ]
RUBY POV
My name is Rubylia Arsilla, a demi-human noble in the Levana Empire. My ancestors helped King Levana develop the Kingdom of Humaria into the Levana Empire, so the Emperor bestowed his peerage and fiefdoms on him.
Vampires are not actually a race that likes to be associated with other races. They're the kind of loners who don't like to be involved with the world. But my ancestor, for the sake of the Emperor being his master, he was willing to draw closer to other races and socialize with them.
No matter how good and friendly Arsilla family is to humans. The humans always look one eye at us who are vampires. I admit we are quite dangerous because vampires are a powerful and long-lived race, and because our main food is blood. But that doesn't mean we're gonna suck everyone's blood to death.
For a long time, our family chose to buy blood from humans who volunteered to offer us their blood. Sometimes our family members drink only blood from fiancees or friends. Blood that drinks not much, only need a cup of tea for 2 months.
That number can increase if we are sick or injured, but it rarely happens.
In order to show us, the Arsilla Family did not harm the Empire. Our family has for generations sworn allegiance to the Imperial Family with a magic oath.
Unlike the blood oath that binds the soul, the magic oath is the one that binds the body. In other words, the descendants of pesubah will also be affected. The only way to break the oath was to marry into the Imperial Family. In exchange for a magic oath, the bride of our family will be loyal to her partner.
Honestly, it makes no difference. Just how to tie is different.
At first everything went as usual. Our family will help the Empire from the shadows and not get too deeply involved with any faction.
But lately the Imperial Family has become greedy. Having no offspring who have the Dragon's Eye, they want a different power. They're after the strength and longevity of our family. To that end, under the pretext of searching for the Crown Prince's nearly grown fiancee, the Imperial Family intended to make me a puppet that added to their strength.
No one in the world voluntarily wants to be someone else's puppet. So when I met Aqua, I felt like this opportunity didn't come 2x.
I am grateful Aqua did not refuse my request. Although he seemed reluctant, he still helped me. His face looked like it was looking at a small child asking an adult to marry him and would cancel it someday.
I honestly don't mind if this oath isn't canceled. He's not a bad person as a fiancee. Instead it was a very good candidate, considering she was the only disciple of the Magic Queen.
When I came home that day, I didn't tell anyone other than my father who I was engaged to. I'm just saying I'm engaged to a boy who helps me when I'm in danger. That'sthat's all.
Of course the Imperial Family is furious at my father and me. But in public, they can't just scorn. In public, they smiled and congratulated me on finding my fiance.
I thought that alone was enough to avoid their greed.
But their greed is greater than I thought. Because they didn't get me, they were after a father who was a widower. Dad is over 200 years old, but his physique is still like a man in his 20s. No noble girl can resist the charm of a father.
The emperor offered his only sister to his father in order to marry him. Father was very reluctant, even so he could not refuse because it was the Emperor's order. So the father was forced to marry the widow of 1 child.
It seemed like the princess's job was to have a child with a father who would become the imperial family's partner later on.
Too bad, because the God of Evil rose, the father was pulled into the battlefield with the teacher Aqua. It happened exactly 2 days after their wedding.
Their plan is ruined.
Trying to get me into the Imperial Family failed.
Married the father to the princess and had children also failed.
Since both of them failed, it was likely that they would think of another plan that was no less dangerous.
Today, the princess and her son are already Machioness and the second miss of the Arsilla family. Whether because I wasn't human or because of the failure of their plan, the Machioness always vented her anger at me. It's been getting worse since he found out that my fiance is not a noble.
Aqua was indeed not a noble.
From the first time I met him, I felt something different from him regardless of appearance and strength. I can't explain it...
It feels like.
That guy was very warm. The feeling that he was a trustworthy person, one who would not hurt and betray me, one who would always protect me.
Surprisingly such a feeling appeared only at first glance.
Wh why?
Just remembering it makes my tears flow... Who he is actually makes me feel like I'm meeting family. Feelings like this only appear when looking at the father and mother only.

"Hehe.. whereas I want to play with my sister after a long time brother just came home."
NGINGGGGGGG
"!"
My head hurts. That again?
Who is that girl, actually? Why does it always appear suddenly in my head?!! It's always been like this since I've forgotten something important.
"certain. Why not?"
"Promise?!"
"I promise."
"Akhhhhh!!!! It hurts!! My head.." I held my head which suddenly hurt. Although my body curled up to endure the pain, this pain did not decrease.
Not just the head... Why do my feelings also hurt?
I'm not a bad boy who cries a lot. But these tears I could not stop and just drove away.
"Hiks.. hicks... hicks... liars..."
The soft sound coming out of my mouth I can't control. I don't know what I'm saying and who I'm saying it to. Just a. great anger and longing that I don't know for whom I remember.
My head was dizzy to maintain my consciousness. I don't know what happened after that. My wet eyes closed, my consciousness had already disappeared along with the loss of the moonlight that entered the bedroom window.

[ Author Cha_nyann desu!! I haven't written this supplement in a long time. In this chapter, let me explain the parts that some readers may find difficult to understand!
First, Ruby's stepmother is the former princess of the Empire, her younger sister the current emperor! So he and this child were the Imperial Family as well. In other words! No matter how strong Ruby was, she couldn't fight back because of that damn oath!
Second, history changes. Because Ruby and Aqua are engaged. Ruby's father married the princess because he was forced to. In other words! Ruby's father didn't marry Heroine's mother as the story goes. Wrestle out?
Waduh... what is the fate in Heroine?
Third, it doesn't matter. But because the Author likes to line up, so that post can be read this way also for the wibu.
Sister (Tiara to Aqua ) \= Onii-chan!
Brother Rin \= Rin nee-san.
Kak Vira & Kak Vina \= Vira/Vina nee.
Mr/Mistress/Miss/Young Master \= - same.
Princess \= Hime-sama.
Prince \= Ojii-sama.
Young miss \= Oujo-sama.
Monsters \= Bakemono!
To -kun, -chan, -san I don't wear it. Because they have a nickname.
That's aja guys.

Bye bye!!! ]
