The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S2) Chapter 62 [Life of Rubylia Arsilla (2) ]
Ruby looks to be mopping the house with shabby clothes. The waiter in his house was wearing better clothes than him.
BYUUUUURRRRRRRR
A dirty water bucket from a mop fell after being kicked hard by a girl younger than him. The girl laughed as if it was not her fault and instead made fun of Ruby.
"Hey! If cleaning is right dong!! Don't you see this dirty water spilling?!" his screams in a mocking tone.
Ruby was silent, she wasn't flinching. The girl immediately took a rag to clean the dirty puddles in front of her. Actually it will be quickly finished if Ruby uses magic, but the witch and her son forbid Ruby to use any magic in the Arsilla residence with orders from the magic oath.
Ruby's situation cannot be compared to the MCs in novels reincarnated into noble bodies or into the game world where they can directly act so as not to bully antagonists. The absolute orders of the imperial family could not be resisted by the Arsilla family. In previous generations, no member of the imperial family dared to order the Arsilla family something that was not an emergency.
"Oi! Your filthy water about my dress! Apologize!!" force the miss.
"...... I'm sorry, miss."
"Hmmmhh!"
The lady felt that she was very good at being able to get monsters to do whatever she wanted. Not once did the girl bully Ruby twice. Ruby was silent.
Not that Ruby was scared and did not dare to fight back. He only thought that the behavior of his mother and sister was not dangerous at all. It is like a mouse that bites an elephant many times. Elephants will not feel sick, elephants are also not interested in killing the mouse and just leave it alone.
"Against him now is useless. Before the time comes, I'd better stay calm."

Day after day passed quickly. There's no change in Ruby's life. His life is going on as usual. Over time he got used to the small game that his stepmother and sister did. Her mother's torment was like everyday food.
When she was locked up in a dark place, she chose to sleep instead. After all, the girl was a vampire who was used to being in the dark.
When beaten or whipped, the wound will immediately recover.
No food for a few days, no problem. As long as his blood intake was met, he did not need too much human food.
Torturing a heartless doll is boring. They just keep quiet, don't criticize anything that's done to them. Her mother and sister became bored as time went on.
"Mother! It's boring! Isn't there something fun?!" ruby's half-brother, Nedura Arsilla.
"We get bored quickly, yeah."
Machioness Arsilla is seen sitting at a desk reading documents as her only daughter whines in.
Among the pile of documents, there were also many party invitation letters that were shown to the Arsilla Family. The Machioness took some of them and handed them to Miss Nedura.
"Take this. If you are bored at home, go to the party. Since you are still immature, I will accompany you later," said the gentle Machioness.
"Thank you mother!!!! Let's see..."
Nedura sorted out the letters in front of him. Seeking letters from prominent families who helped him in the upper class. A letter from the Family of Count Demifa caught his attention.
"Mother! How about this?"
Nedura handed the letter to the Machioness.
"..... The first young master's engagement party of the Demifa Family, yes... If it's not wrong the boy is now 17 years old" muttered the Machioness.
"alright. We'll be there. Coincidentally the young master is both the same age as you, he is also a pretty handsome magic genius. Not bad as your fiancee's candidate," Machioness replied confidently.
"Really, right! I also quite like Young Master Hyveno!" exclaim Nedura spirit.
"The party's still 1 month away. Go buy a new dress to get there. I'll answer if we're going to attend."
The Machioness gently stroked Nedura's hair. The girl smiled happily, then kissed her mother's cheek and went out excitedly.
"Based on the girl." Machioness' smile.
The warm face immediately cooled down as soon as he remembered something.
"When it's a good place, it's a pity because it's an invitation from the Imperial Faction, so I have to bring the little j*lang."
"Ha~hh... Sebas!!"
An old servant appeared from behind the door. The servant named Sebas immediately bowed to the Machioness.
"In a moment we will go to the Demifa Family party. Prepare that little jal*ng so as not to embarrass the family!" get the Machioness upset.
"...... Okay, Madam."
Sebas was the butler of the Arsilla family. He has served in the Arsilla family since he was young. To be honest Sebas and a few other loyal servants disliked the Machioness and Second Miss very much because they tortured their real Miss. But a servant must not break orders. Inevitably, they followed the orders of the Machioness.
But actually... Sebas and the other servants secretly help Rubylia. Sometimes they deliver food and medicine to their young Miss. Ruby rejects everything, because helping herself will only get Sebas and the others in trouble.
Of course Sebas and the other waiters long could not stand it. They were only patient until Miss Rubylia Arsilla's maturation ceremony. Under the rules of nobility, legitimate heirs would have a level of power under official rulers once they matured. In other words, once Ruby matures, her status is higher than that of a substitute Machioness.
Plus, Ruby will enter the Academy with a recommendation letter from the Magic Tower. With the letter, even the Imperial family could not stop Ruby from studying at the Academy.

"Miss Rubylia! Are you inside?" ask Sebas politely.
KRIEEEEETTTT
A girl with an empty eye did not glow staring at Sebas from behind the door.
"....... The sebas? Why?" lirih.
Sebas's face was filled with worry and guilt at seeing his Miss like that. Sebas knelt down, equating his height with Ruby's.
"Young lady, aren't you taking your medicine anymore?" ask Sebas to worry.
"That's not necessary. I'm a vampire, healing myself stronger than a human."
"But Miss. You haven't been drinking blood for 3 months... You must be very hungry. Maybe my blood doesn't taste good, but what if Miss drinks a little?"
"Don't... Sebas will be punished."
"Miss..."
The tone full of sincere concern that came out of Sebas' mouth was certainly about Ruby's heart. Sebas was very worried about his Miss who was too small for a child his age. Despite being almost 14 years old, the girl looks like a 9-year-old child. She was not given human food by her mother. And worse, vampires who need blood every 2 months to survive, are not given blood for more than 3 months. The reason was ridiculous, the Machioness said that no one would sell blood to monsters. Though many people have become a subscription to the Arsilla family because it is paid handsomely.
The Machioness also forbade anyone to give Ruby blood for fear of her becoming a bloodthirsty monster.
"What bloodthirsty monsters?!! Normally vampires will directly attack people if they are hungry because of their survival instinct. But Miss. she's holding everything back. Miss doesn't even look hungry at all when she sees a human even though she must be very hungry."
"Ha~hhhh why is the imperial family so cruel to young children?"
Ruby held Sebas' hand slowly. Hands that felt cold but also warm immediately distract Sebas.
"It's okay. I'm fine, Sebas. Don'worry. Please just tell me directly what Sebas has to say!" ruby is friendly.
A small smile was on his face. Sebas bit his lips silently, he was completely inexhaustible with a heartless person who made a child as small as Ruby to be able to smile painfully so.
"The lady told me........"
