Vampire'S Secret Baby
|137|. Confessions More Like Groaning

The morning came in the same mood. Annette in Egbert's arms and Egbert's burly arms wrapped her warm little body under the blanket. The two men opened their eyes, both awake from sleep and staring at each other without awkwardness.

Annette raised her hand, stroking Egbert's hard jaw, "Look, you're still fine right?"

Egbert was silent, his eyes staring within every inch of Annette's face that was not even greasy and there was not even dry saliva at the corners of his lips.

"I told you, he's your son. Hate it though, rest assured he will not harm you who are his real father"

Egbert bowed down. It made Annette close her eyes and feel a kiss from Egbert's cold lips that landed on her forehead.

Annette realized, lately Egbert so often kissed his forehead. What did Madam Belinda say that day was true?

That cold-blooded man under the same blanket as her, who was none other than her husband— actually loved her?

"I understand. I'm just a little careful"

Annette opened her eyes and met Egbert's handsome face, "En, I know"

Once again Egbert bowed and peeked at Annette's forehead, "I must return to Merland now. Maybe we won't see each other for long"

Egbert removed Annette from the support of his sturdy arm and came out of the blanket. Annette froze, feeling a little lost. Seeing the sturdy man was ready to take off his sleeping robe and change it into a bathrobe.

Annette asked before Egbert went to the bathroom, "Did you really not love me?"

Egbert had just finished changing into a bathrobe, tied up his tuba rope and turned around, "I think, we've already discussed this"

Egbert subtly said, 'So there's no need to talk about it anymore'

Annette smiled slightly as she swallowed the bitter taste in her heart, "Alright, next time I won't ask her again"

Finished getting ready Egbert had already gone to Merland. Due to using too much of his inner power lately, he also sent a message to Madam Belinda to send a horse carriage. He didn't allow to use his sprint as a vampire, considering he needed to take a break from it for a moment.

It didn't take long for the horse-drawn carriage to arrive and Egbert boarded it. The horse-drawn carriage went straight to the red moon palace. Along the way, Egbert somehow felt tired. He also fell asleep.

Until arriving at the red moon palace, Egbert was surprised by the presence of Sean who ran to him. His hasty movements and all over his neck and temples were drenched in sweat. Egbert guessed that he must have run fast from the border gate to his palace.

"Haha.haa Egbert"

"What's your hasty attitude?" Egbert asked with a pair of bended eyebrows, "Unlike your usual self"

Sean has always been the most calm and relaxed person. Of course Egbert furrowed his brows confusedly looking at Sean who looked as remiss as that.

"It's terrible"

Egbert's eyelids instantly lifted wider with a serious look in his eyes, "Did something bad just happen?"

"Annette.haha.haa"

Egbert's eyes were wide open, "What's wrong with Annette?"

"She.hah.haa" Sean was not finished with his breath of tiredness that was wheezing.

Egbert immediately held onto both of Sean's shoulders and asked in his impatient voice, "Quick tell me what's wrong with him?"

Sean instantly adjusted his breathing and spoke fluently, "The people of Duke Rajeev seemed to follow you last night when you returned to the human land. Just after you left, the men came to the castle and ambushed Annette. The servants in your castle have been knocked unconscious by them. Presumably they put them to sleep using a sleeper potion"

Green veins instantly poked at the back of Egbert's hand as his black eyes lit up red with a cold light full of killing intent.

Let it be, Egbert remained restrained and calm, "Quick prepare all the knights we have, I must immediately pick up my wife"

Egbert was sure, how frightened Annette was right now. Just imagine it, he felt unable to immediately destroy someone who had dared to ambush his wife.

Sean instantly deployed a group of knights and without horses, they used their inner strength by running quickly towards the residence of Duke Rajeev. That should take about a day a night if riding, but it becomes only five hours because they run fast non-stop.

Setiba is in the duchy, where the only duchy is in Merland. Egbert directly ordered his knights against the guards. He and Sean went inside.

"RAJEEVVV" loudly shouted Egbert, shocking all the servants inside.

Those who are busy working, immediately jerked and stop their work.

Sean realizes that Egbert has lost his control. Sean went straight to one of them and said with a cold look, "Take us to your master"

"But lord duke—" The servant seemed to be standing with trembling. He had absolutely no idea who Sean was and who Egbert was. Because the servants who rarely seem to be involved in the upper class association do not know them at all.

But seeing their arrival so original and brave to the residence of Duke Rajeev. He was sure the two people were not just anyone he could nullify.

But how Duke Rajeev has not given any orders to them.

"Or do you perhaps want us to demolish your master's castle?" Threat Sean.

"Well, I'll take you to see Mr. Duke" The waiter decided quickly and immediately took Egbert and Sean to a room that was located at the corner and a little estranged from the doors of the other rooms.

The moment the maid opened the door of the room, the scene inside instantly threw out the blood in Egbert's body boiling.

The servant standing before the door could not bear the pressure from Egbert's powerful killing aura, immediately escaping from the place.

Sean was similarly shocked by Egbert. Inside she saw Annette lying helplessly on the cold floor. Her outer dress was already open, only a little clothing was left on her body. Her exposed outer skin, full of blue bruises and bruises. Her messy golden brown hair had spread to the floor and hid her entire face.

The loud voice jolted Sean. When he turned his head, he saw that Egbert had already kicked Rajeev with a very hard kick until the man slammed into the wall and spewed out a mouthful of blood.

"What'd you do to my wife, huh?" Egbert pulled Rajeev's collar. His handsome face looked so wrathful as it would enslave with the flames of anger, "How dare you touch him!"

Bugs!

Egbert punched hard on Duke Rajeev's face which looked so nauseating in his eyes.

Duke Rajeev grimaced for a moment and a second later, "Pftt.."

"Bwhaha.." He exploded with laughter.

Egbert clutched tightly onto Rajeev's collar, killing him getting stronger and airborne.

"I didn't expect your wife to be human" Rajeev grinned.

"..."

"After being satisfied with his body, I bit his neck and at that moment my tongue tasted something..."

Bugs!

Egbert punched the face hard again and this time the man's lips were torn apart and spit out his black blood in the corner.

"How dare you—"

"So delicious" Trim Rajeev who kept his grinning smile at the corner of his lips, "His blood is incredible. Her delicacy had even outclassed the blood wine from my stash collection that was in the warehouse" Her eyes lit up with a full-satisfied desire continued, "Ah, not only that. His body was no less tasty than his blood. It's sweet, soft and makes me crazy— makes me desire strongly to destroy—ukh"

Rajeev said nothing, Egbert had already strangled his neck blindly. In the end, the man died and Egbert slammed his body onto the floor.

Sean wants to go to Annette, check her condition. But looking at her appearance so openly, she felt unworthy. Sean went to get the white blanket in the room and covered Annette's body first. Only then did she pull over the strands of hair covering her face and check her breath by putting her index finger on the sill of Annette's nose.

"How is he doing?" Egbert immediately rested beside Annette's body. His trembling hands raised that pitiful thin body onto the lap.

"No way.."

"What is impossible?"

Sean did not dare to speak. He got up and chose to go out, letting Egbert know for himself.

Egbert frantically patted Annette's face ashen and bloodless.

"Annette's.."

"Annette open your eyes quickly.."

"Annette, if you don't want Aldrich to kill me, open your eyes.." Just then Egbert's voice sounded trembling.

"Annette's.." Egbert's eyes heated up, after a long time. That day for the first time she cried and roared loudly.

"Annettee.."

Shouting his wife's name with the most miserable howl. His sobs broke and Egbert tightly hugged Annette's body which had absolutely no sign of life.

Just then the shadow of Annette's face sitting on the bed came asking her with a joyful look, "Didn't you really love me?"

"I think we've already talked about this" And his cold answer immediately shattered the beautiful woman's hopes in a miserable surrender.

His helpless voice went on the air with his bitter smile as he said, "Alright, next time I won't ask you again"

The memory of that morning flashed like a sharp knife that sliced his heart to nothing. Egbert cried even louder and roared in a million unexpressed regrets.

"Annette, I'm sorry.."

"I beg you to forgive me.."

It pecked inside the woman's lips that were paled and cold without blood. Egbert whispered softly along with her still-out cry.

"I love you..."

"I-I love you Annette"

"I love you.."

A confession that was more like a groan of pain was heard to the ears of Sean who was standing outside near the door. He let out a heavy sigh, feeling sad for Egbert. It was then that he realized how much Egbert loved Annette, his human wife.

Egbert again patted Annette on the face, hoping that she would open her eyes. He even gave her artificial breath. But unfortunately, the eyes of the woman did not open.

"Annette why don't you wake up too..?"

"Annette.I love you, so please wake up"

"Annette's.."
