"Tooch"
"Tooch"
"Tooch"
It was his fifth vomit. Though Annette had just finished lunch but the acid turmoil in her stomach kept on acting up. It made him unable to run to the bathroom and vomit all the contents in his stomach.
"Are you okay, madam?" The one who asked was Zeta, the castle maid who was not much different age from Annette, "Do I want to make warm honey water for you?"
"No need" Annette just rinsed her mouth clean but...
"Ugh-u"
Again he was stuck with his nausea.
"Oh how is this? Since then the madam has not stopped vomiting" Panicked Micah. Just like Zeta, the ages of the two are not much different.
"Go make a bowl of soup, slice a little ginger in it is good enough to reduce nausea" Tukas Zeta, his hand continued to rub soft back Annette who still did not stop vomiting.
"Well" Micah hurried off to prepare what Zeta had said.
Beside Annette who was busy draining her almost fainted entrails, Egbert casually enjoyed a cup of rabbit blood coffee in her study with Sean.
"Are you sure you're not going to accompany your wife now?" Sean comes to visit the castle out of curiosity to hear about Annette's pregnancy. Of course he came in disguise.
It was clearly visible with golden-brown curly wig hair that hid his neat black haircut and large green-colored glasses that were quite eccentric framed his handsome face until it looked a bit of a joke
"Should I?" Egbert seemed to raise one of his eyebrows with an indifferent look in his eyes. Afterwards he went to inhale the aroma of black coffee powder mixed with the fresh blood of young rabbits.
"Hum.." Caffeine drinks mixed with blood is a concoction that is very liked. Lifting the lips of the cup to his mouth, he sipped it slowly.
"I think that human girl needs you" Sean said. Seeing Egbert who looked so enjoy the blackish red coffee, he was interested in trying.
Taking the ceramic coffee kettles, he went to pour the contents into a cup. The sound of falling water meeting the surface of the cup was heard in a quiet space.
"Actually, what are you trying to say?" Egbert went to put his cup on the table, then directed his serious gaze at Sean. He knew Sean wasn't making small talk.
Sean just took a sip of his coffee. He can feel the texture of the sweet fresh rabbit blood mixed with the thick premium black coffee, both fused in his sense of taste so that his mouth can not stand to say, "Aah.."
It was quite delicious, but...
"Rose blood is still much more delicious. Why not just use deer blood?" His word.
"..." - ".Egbert simply floated his expressionless gaze at Sean.
That cold response made Sean's lips bend faintly in a small smile. He put the cup to the table and said, "What I want to say is, they are very vulnerable human girls"
"Then?"
That indifferent response managed to make Sean sigh slowly.
"They're not like a glass. If the water is too hot, it will break and if it is too cold, it is not impossible that it will crack"
"..."
"Now your wife is pregnant with your child. If you were too indifferent, he would feel himself so pitiful. And if you're too cold, it's not impossible that his feelings will break. Like that, are you sure it won't affect the development of the fetus in her bladder?"
"..."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Be warm water or perhaps cold water. At least that way the glass will stay safe"

Annette sat leaning weakly on the headboard. Feeling his weak body, it was like a kite that was ready to blow his empty wind at this time.
"Well, it feels like I'm going to die" Annette doesn't know if that feeling is normal, because she realizes that what she's got right now is definitely not a human baby.
"Mrs what are you saying? You're so young, why do you think you're dying so soon?" Said Zeta who has since gently massage the shoulders to the skinny arms of Annette.
"Don't you know who I'm carrying?" Annette said, looking at her weak eyes helplessly, "With my human body, I am very pessimistic about staying strong enough"
Zeta fell silent and stared at Annette's dark red lips which were usually freshly moist, now pale dry. It hurts me to hear what Annette is saying.
Just then Egbert stood before the door and involuntarily listened to the conversation of the two people. He walked inside just as Micah came with a bowl of warm soup in his hand.
"Sir" Sapa Micah was polite.
"Em" Egbert only cleared his throat lightly in response.
Annette raised her head weakly at the origin of the voice that had just entered her room. It was none other than Egbert and Micah.
"What did you bring?" Egbert asked Micah.
"Ginger chicken soup master, for the mistress" he replied, his voice sounding quite polite.
"Give me!"
That speech left Micah staggering on the spot, as did Annette and Zeta who exchanged glances with astonished gazes.
"The bowl you brought just gave me" Egbert was actually too lazy to repeat what he said, but he did.
Micah of course captured clearly Egbert's tone of impatience, even though it was veiled closely with the intonation of his voice so calm and flat.
"This is the master" Micah handed the bowl he was holding to Egbert.
"You two get out!" Egbert then. Which again invites the astonishment of Annette, Zeta and Micah.
"But sir, I—" Zeta who was still twitching Annette's arm was about to say something just...
"Get out!"
The word again fell like a chunk of ice. It's cold and there's no negotiation in it.
"B-good sir" Keep Zeta up and along with Micah, the two rush off to leave the room.
After the two maids left, Annette looked strangely at Egbert who started walking closer to the bed where she lay. He watched the man put a bowl of warm soup on the bedside table and then...
"A-what are you doing—" Annette was surprised to find Egbert who suddenly came bowing towards her.
At first glance Egbert looked at Annette without a sound. He could see Annette's dark red lips were so dry and pale. Makes her wonder, will the taste stay as sweet as when the lips are fresh and moist?
The thought made her animal instincts peak, but she quickly held it back and returned to her original intention of tidying up the layout of the pillow on Annette's back so that the girl could lean back comfortably.
"Oh!" Annette was obviously surprised. He did not expect Egbert to fix the position of the pillow behind his back. He almost thought that the man would bite his lips when he saw how cold black eyes had at first glance ignited the flames of hasr*t.
