Ice melting

Sunlight gently entered and fell on the slender body lying in bed. It also gave a glamorous luster to her hair as if it were pure silver strands.

With the warm weather and disturbing lighting, she squeezed her eyelids and slowly opened her eyes. She seemed a little lazy and lethargic.

She didn't move from her position for some time after which she slowly pulled her body. Her feet dangled from the bed and the warmth of the sun surrounded her delicate skin.

It was already morning and last night's nightmare was over. The heat of her body disappeared and the terrible pain tearing her soul stopped.

The serene view outside the window reflected on her pale blue eyes and she couldn't help smiling. She especially liked the sunlight.

Usually vampires prefer a night atmosphere and Moonlight. He was giving them energy and allowing their powers to flow and enjoy their original form.

Their powers are often restrained to avoid protruding fangs and thick horns. Their wings were also large.

They could not unleash themselves during the day, since the sun weakened them.

But once the evening comes, they will be more comfortable. Even if they don't turn into the original form, they are comfortable releasing that feeling of oppression.

But the situation for Celestia is different. She was experiencing terrible pains that began as soon as it got dark. Her sensitivity at that time rises and her body instinctively wants blood to be sucked out of it.

But with the sunrise everything will end as if it's a nightmare and fade away with the darkness.

So she always likes the morning period.

Her eyelashes slowly drooped and she stood up from the bed, her skin looked brighter and more vibrant.

She didn't waste any more time and went for a shower before changing into a soft mid-calf dress.

She left her silver hair down on her back and left her room afterwards.

The corridor was full of servants cleaning the palace every second.

After she appeared as Alexander's partner, he could not help but bring her to his family's Palace after their return to the kingdom.

It was big enough to hold hundreds of people. It also has a garden full of flowers.

The Vampire Kingdom is far enough away from humans as it was a big island surrounded by the sea.

It was covered by a fog barrier and people could only see it when entering the barrier.

But they already had legends that there were monsters on the fog island, so no one dared to approach or even look at the fog.

Vampires were divided into three classes.

The royal family.

Noble families.

Then public.

A child is classified from birth and the class to which he belongs is determined by the quality and taste of his blood.

The S variety is the highest quality, where only members of the royal family are distinguished, and rarely a child from outside the family was born with s blood.

This has not happened for hundreds of years and if it happens, the child will be taken to grow up in the palace and a contract is signed to give up the child for money to his family.

The s-Class is distinguished by its ability to feed all vampires even if it is not its partner, the other party does not die and his life is preserved. The blood of the royal family is considered as an alternative in case your partner is not found.

But it costs a lot of money and only rich nobles could buy it. Also, the varieties did not have a predestined partner, and the partner is chosen according to the desire of the person.

In addition, there is a Class A, which is distinguished by the noble class. He has a high-quality taste and can only feed the common people and help them to extend their life until finding a partner..

Unlike Class S, Class A cannot help those who have already tasted their partner's blood, so they will die if they do not drink their partner's blood or drink the blood of the royal family.

Of course, s-type blood is very expensive and the public cannot buy it, so they often die if the partner dies...

And Class A was not so rare as Class S, so there are some families from the public where they have a child with Class A,..

It is taken as soon as its class is recognized and given to one of the noble families with fewer children.

There was no racism in the families and they always loved the new baby since they are of the same breed.

Finally, there is the type B who cannot help anyone other than his partner.

A son from a noble family is abandoned if he is of Class B..

It is difficult for families to give up their children, but it is a law that was established by the royal family and no one rebelled.

Despite the attempts of many females and males not to form any feelings for a child during pregnancy. But they can't help sometimes and feel very sad when they take the baby.

Celestia was one of the commoners ' children, but she was already classified as A and was taken to a noble-class family who could not bear children.

They were very happy with her and she lived a good life until their death.....

Thinking about that, Celestia sighed and went down the stairs to the basement. As soon as the butler saw her, he gave a small bow and spoke in a calm voice.

"They're at the breakfast table."

I stopped for a while and stared at him. He was an old man with a thin, wrinkled body. He worked here for hundreds of years and formed a close relationship with the Alexander family.

Besides being the Butler, he was the only person who treated her with respect in this house.

Apart from the father and mother who feel contempt from an imperfect girl for their son, the servants also did not bother to respect her, since the family itself does not give her value.

They never entered her room, they never cleaned it, they didn't help her take a shower, they didn't approach her. All they gave her was a look of disdain and ridicule.

Celestia was not bothered by this behavior and was more comfortable when she acted on her own about her own matters. So their mood did not mind.

She gave a small nod to the Butler and continued down the stairs.

He wasn't actually telling her about them being at the breakfast table to join them. On the contrary, she was warned not to appear in front of his mother.

As soon as she sees it, she will get into a state of intense anger and be unbearably disgusted by it. It happened several times when she lived here so Alexander warned her.

She didn't think much about it and she had a lot of energy during the day so she went out to the garden.

As soon as the door was opened her hair flew gently with the warm breeze and her skirt fell back.

She flashed her eyes with a clear smile and took off the sandals without heels before walking on the grass barefoot.

A feeling of refreshing coolness spread over the soles of her feet and rose with a pleasant sensation enveloping her body.

She walked along the flower paths all the way to the main door and her pale fingertips touched the colorful flower petals.

The touch was gentle and soft. When she first came to this place. The garden was green with grass and did not contain any flowers.

Although she was considered a pest in this house, no one prevented her from doing what she wanted in the garden.

She was an associate of the Lord of the Manor and had the right to do anything she wanted.

The only thing she was forbidden from was to appear in front of the mother. The latter often went out during the night heavily.

So as soon as it got dark Celestia did not leave her room.

After a long time caressing the flower petals and indulging in the warmth of the Sun, I arrived at the main gate.

Her face creased with a slight frown and I felt it was over quickly. She wanted to go back and walk longer, but she already had a job and she couldn't be late.

She sighed silently and bent over to put on her sandals before straightening up and walking to the gate.

Meanwhile, the sound of a car came from behind her. She turned her head slowly and stepped back to make way for the crossing.

She stood on the side of the road with her hands politely clasped. When the car stopped next to her she could see Alexander dressed in formal clothes and covered his eyes with black glasses.

The ends of his red hair hung down, covering his forehead and half of his eyebrows. Rest one hand on the open car window while gripping the handle with the other hand.

The bend of his jaw was obvious from the angle of her gaze and gave a deep impression exuding masculinity.

Far from being badly behaved with her, he is still her partner and her innate instinct drives her to admire him all the time.

She could not deny his good looks and always tried to suppress that feeling of admiration.

She learned how much he hated her and did not allow herself to fall in love with him. However, the blood she drinks from him does not help her and makes her more attracted to him.

I blinked slowly at him and noticed the pallor of his skin. This was the last year, if he didn't drink her blood, he would die. I wondered if he was planning to buy the blood of the royal family.

But it is already very expensive, although they are rich, but buying blood monthly is still a lot.

At that time the gate was opened for him and he moved his car again leaving the House. She followed him with her eyes for a while and then she walked outside too.

There was a sandy road and on both sides of it there was a dense grass. Usually you need to go down the mountain to get out of the Alexander family property and enter the city.

It takes half an hour on foot but she didn't mind. A driver has already been hired for her, although she prefers to walk and feel the grass on her feet.

She smiled before taking off her shoes again and the grass covered her small, pale feet.

"Why don't you use your speed, you're always going slow."

I stopped walking and looked in front of her, there was a child with dark black hair and black eyes. His body looked a little skinny and his bones were solid.

His features are slightly frowning and give the impression of annoyance. He was short in stature and up to her chest height.

As soon as he saw her lips retreated in a big smile and her eyes narrowed gently.

She raised her hands in strange shapes, but the little one seemed to understand what she was saying.

'I love walking and enjoying this feeling.'

His eyelashes drooped in boredom and he moved with small steps before he stood next to her and sighed.

"It's very boring, I feel that time is very slow if I don't run"

As vampires, they had abnormal speed and could get where they wanted in a short period of time, but Celestia preferred to walk slowly

Her eyelashes drooped and her clear eyes shone as she still put a smile on her lips.

'You can stay here, I'll be safe.'

He watched her hands for a while and then yawned with a big mouth before putting his hands behind his head. Celestia watched it and raised her hand covering his mouth.

His habit of yawning like that always bothered her and scolded him. She frowned a little after he finished and moved her fingers talking to him.

'You should cover your mouth kai'

He looked at her frown and then sighed and talked bored.

"Yes, yes, next time."

'You always say that.'

She rested her hands at her waist and puffed out her cheeks a little. She seemed annoyed that his habit had not changed after all this time.

He raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips at her expressions and she looked very stern as she looked at him in a way that she scolded him.

He thought for a while and then sighed and bent his back while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well, I promise, next time I'll do it."

She could sense the sincerity in his voice and smiled at him in jubilation, patted his head and resumed walking after that.

The young man was a commoner and the youngest son of the Butler. He was appointed to be the one who goes shopping. So I always rested on the forest glades within the boundaries of the master's estate.

He often noticed a young woman with silver hair and calm, warm features. She was immersed in the shade of the trees and the rays of the sun passing through the leaves were reflected on her.

She looked like a little fairy having fun in the solarium. He watched her for several years and eventually approached and talked to her.

He was surprised at first that she couldn't speak and it was difficult for him to understand what she was saying if she didn't write it so he decided to learn sign language.

He has since followed her to her job, arguing she needed protection, and has since returned to the border.

Celestia didn't mind him staying with her and instead felt happy... She really liked that there was someone who learned sign language for her.

As soon as she got out of the border, she could see the city as lively as usual. The design of the houses and shops was of the antique style of the old European era, although cars were used here normally.

But they are very few since only noble families use them, while the common people used bicycles.

Celestia smiled quietly and soon felt the eyes heading towards her. In this place she was voted the most beautiful female vampire.

But as soon as it was realized that she could not speak, they withdrew the title and said that she did not deserve it. It should have been perfect, but it's not.

Despite their withdrawal of the title, the eyes of men always followed her.

Kai was very annoyed by their looks and shouted at them in nervousness.

"What are you looking at, Go back to your work."

"..... ؟"

Their eyes didn't move and they didn't care what the little guy was saying. Kai frowned gloomily and mumbled in annoyance.

"It's annoying, they're so rude."

Celestia's eyes drifted to him and she couldn't help but smile.

At first before the appearance of kai she was attacked by many men and many flowers were presented, she felt the pressure.

But after kai came, he started pushing them away and yelling at them as he bit them. Celestia became more comfortable in his presence with her and loved coming with her very much.

She slowly raised her hand and patted his head before stopping in front of a small door. She looked at him and slowly moved her hands.

'Go now you've arrived, the Butler will be worried if he doesn't find you during the delivery of the tasks.'

His eyelashes drooped, he stared sharply at the young people around, then nodded and signaled her to enter.

"Yes, come in first, then I'll go."

I laughed sweetly and walked in afterwards. Soon she was hit by a wave of lively sounds of children rushing to her.

"Celestia"

They shouted in undulating voices and their eyes seemed to shine brightly.

I smiled when I saw them active and squatted down for them. Soon she was surrounded by children and they attacked her.

"I'm hungry Celestia"

"And I want to play with you"

"I want to hear a story"

Each child seemed to have their own desire and Celestia felt confused in fulfilling their wishes. Meanwhile, a young woman watched her running with a bottle of milk and a baby girl in her hand.

When she saw her oscillating between the wishes of the kids, she laughed and spoke in a stern voice.

"Children, everyone has his role. Celestia will arrange your schedule regularly, so be calm."

Their little bodies trembled as soon as they heard her voice and quickly hid behind Celestia. She blinked at the girl slowly, then smiled and moved her hands gratefully.

'Thank you lily, I'll take care of them'

She gave her a little nod and left with the baby feeding her milk. Celestia's job was to take care of children who leave their family and go to work....

I often enjoyed taking care of them and felt happy when they cheered up. Time passed quickly and she satisfied the wishes of the kids.

However, she couldn't read a story to them so a child is always chosen to read while sitting on her lap. In the meantime all the kids will fall asleep and the nursery will calm down completely.

After two hours of sleep, they will wake up again and their screams will fill the echo of the place. Slowly the parents begin to come and take their children, one after the other, until silence reigns.

"See you tomorrow Celestia"

Another child waved his little hand, gave him a warm smile before he left and closed the door behind him. Lily sighed and sat down tiredly on the chair.

"Oh my God, taking care of the kids is so exhausting."

Celestia blinked slowly and went to clean up the place and take the toys off the floor.

Lily watched her for a while and asked her with some bewilderment.

"Is Celestia the six tired of all this?"!"

Her clear eyes smiled and slowly moved her hands.

'No, I enjoy taking care of them, they're so cute.'

Lily opened her eyes wide and jumped out of her seat.

'Do you call those little monsters cute?' "

The girl blinked innocently and tilted her head in confusion before giving a small nod.

Lily grimaced with her expressions and replied with exhaustion.

"Where Are They nice?" They are causing chaos everywhere and their voices are very loud."

Celestia laughed and waved her hand before she finished cleaning and left the place afterwards. The ocean outside was orange and the sun was starting to set.

Her eyelashes twitched with a tingling feeling and a little numbness of her fingertips.

The symptoms were already showing and the pain would start soon.

Her eyes narrowed and her expression turned grim, that nightmare would start again.

She didn't want to be late for entering the house so she moved her steps quickly.

But as soon as she passed through a narrow and dark street, she stopped her steps at the sound of a rough manly voice.

"We now have four Class A children, but their blood is starting to become less."

Her arteries froze at hearing that and she stopped hiding behind the wall before she heard another whisper.

"I heard that there is a kid from the klipps family with a Class A, he has good endurance, should he be brought?""

She opened her eyes wide, and she felt a chill at the end of her spine.

A while ago I heard about the disappearance of the children and Alexander is investigating the matter.

Total children so far are four which means...

Her eyes shook and she moved slowly peeping. She could see a fat man with a huge body with a scar on his left eye.

While the other person is skinny and wears looks and looked very tidy compared to the other.

"His blood can be sold at a good price on the black market"

The Slender Man whispered and his eyes seemed to shine with greed. Fat hum quietly and move out of the street

"Let's collect more blood from them"

Celestia swallowed her saliva and watched them silently before moving up the wall and standing in front of a toy store window.

She could see their reflection through the glass, and she thought about whether to tell Alexander or follow the two men first to find out where the children were.

I thought hard and finally decided to follow them. It will not help to tell Alexander if you do not know where the children were detained.

She walked with slow steps and passed a quick spark of pain hitting the insides of her body.

Her eyebrows twitched and she paused for a while before catching her breath and walking with a frown in the dark.
