But Camy didn't respond and was laying still. She shook her and even waved her hand in front of her eyes to wake her up from her daydreaming but to no avail. She was now sitting down in front of Camy and was calling her repeatedly.
When she finally looked at her, her gaze was different. She was not her old Camy. She was indifferent, cold and her eyes were blank like a dead sea. It didn't contain her usual twinkle in her eyes.
Seeing her gaze, the realization hit Ceil, that Camy was not a human anymore. She was a vampire. Ceil started crying vigorously again. She was rembering how Camy got bit by a vampire and the turn of events from then.

Arthur had been careful earlier when he killed Dennis. Shoving his body under the desk, it made it impossible for anyone to see. You could only tell sothing happened here if you had a strong nose to detect blood. And luckily, most of the blood was just spilled on Dennis' own body.
Luck you say, skill would suit here.
"Oh yes. He stood up and waltzed to her. Grabbing her by the waist, he started dancing with her as his flirting continued, making the little maid all flustered.
"Lord." She choked in fear.
"What is it darling?"
"You, you need to tell that Lord. What is it?"
"Don't mind . I was just bored so I wanted company for the night. Was just the feeling of chatting with soone and you just ca to my mind."
"Aaah!"
"So, tell , did you sign up to be a maid in the castle for yourself? I just discovered that I know nothing about you, so care to fill in"
Laura who was treading on thin ice, at this mont was all chard by Arthur.
How can one not be?
He was handso, flirty and so good at impressing anyone. Resisting him was hard, and as a maiden, it was near impossible.
"Head butler Dennis took in. He saw at a market and pitied for my miserable life. He was a kind man, who grood , helped , and did everything for "
"Dennis was a good man"
"He was"
"So that's how you ended up being made in my castle?"
"Yes lord," she nodded.
Arthur continued with his dancing as well as flirting and led her to his bed. Pressing her body with his weight.
"So, you wanted a peaceful life. Am I right?"
She smiled in response, sucking a deep breath as Arthur kissed her neck. His hot breath tickled her insides, as sothing inside her ignited. Her whole body was on fire.
"Lord" she moaned.
"So, why did you tie the talisman around Camy's neck?" The mont he said this, her body stopped moving. All the pleasure evaporated as it felt like soone threw water from a cold bucket on her.
She t Arthur's eyes and they were cold, filled with malice.
"What...?" She played dumb but in no ti, he grabbed her neck, choking her.
"Don't. Just don't dare to test my patience and play dumb. Tell , why did you do that? And who asked you to do that?"
Cough cough.
She had a cough when he released her neck. Gasping for breath, her face turned red. Arthur stepped down from the bed as he waited for his answers.
"He asked to do it"
"Who?"
--
"Hector, the dark triad mber. I didn't know who he was earlier but after the attack on the castle, I got to know who he was. He ca to et inside the slave establishnt. He said he has a way to get out of here. Believe , lord, the Slave establishnt is a place where you wouldn't want to go even in your worst nightmares. It was hell, maybe calling it a hell would be an understatent."
"He promised , and I couldn't resist a flying ticket. In return, all I had to do was tie a necklace around Miss Camy's neck" She went on.
"As he instructed, I played along. I t Dennis and as Hector promised, I was set out free and led a life that I always wished for."
"Who was the one that gave you the talisman? And when?"
"It was Hector, during the attack on the castle. He sneaked inside and protected both Dennis and and gave a talisman. He said if I don't keep my promise, he will take my freedom back. I had no choice. I told Dennis everything. He was enraged at first but then agreed to help . And we went on with the plan"
Ha!
"So that's what happened. What a la trick but I have to admit, you caught for my carelessness Vladella. Sneaking in a witch-bitch in my castle"
He dragged her near his study table and showed her the dead body of Dennis.
"Recognize him? It's your dear Dennis"
"No" She scread loudly as tears fell from her eyes.
"I beg you, I beg you, I beg you. Please don't kill "
"Alright then, I will send you to your ho, slave establishnt. How does it sound?"
"Pretty good right?"
"No, don't kill " Her whole body started shaking when she heard the word 'slave establishnt'. No sane person would make a choice to go there"
Arthur scoffed.
"Don't want to?"
Laura refused as she cried vehently.
"Then tell what more you know"
"I don't know anything," she cried.
"Oh, you don't? Then let tell you sothing."
"I hate traitors. And you being soone from which bloodline, screwed up big ti. It makes extrely pissed off. "
"Please don't be mad at lord. It wasn't my fault. I didn't have much of a choice" She begged.
"What if I told you, there is a way. I could forgive you, but you need to answer my question first"
"I will answer anything but please just spare "
"Alright. Then tell what you will choose. Do I spare your life, or should I kill you and let Dennis co back to life?"
