Chapter 457: A Mouthful Of mories [Part 2]
The two then heard hurried footsteps from the stairs, and Eleanora ca into their view.
"Eva, an old man suddenly appeared out of nowhere!" Eleanora exclaid anxiously. "Did he do anything to you?!"
"It’s okay, Eleanora," Evangeline replied. "He is Sir Lex, an old acquaintance of mine."
Eleanora still felt doubtful. But since her mistress looked perfectly fine, she soon cald down.
She then glared at Alex before walking down the stairs to continue guarding the door of the library.
The two teenagers stared at each other for nearly a minute before smiling faintly.
"Why didn’t you tell
that you’ve already found Sir Lex?" Evangeline pouted. "You could have told ."
The young man pulled the pouting girl into his arms and hugged her.
"It just slipped my mind," Alex replied. "Many things have been happening as of late, so I didn’t get the chance to tell you."
"Are you still hiding things from ?" Eva asked.
"Yes," Alex answered. "But I’m sure you’ll learn about it after you drink my blood."
Evangeline’s eyes widened in shock. Back in the villa, she had indeed seen a bit of the Prince’s mories after feeding on his blood.
She had then discovered why he had left the place of his birth, pursued by the Aetherion Empire.
Perhaps it was why Evangeline felt a lot closer to Alex. His situation was pitiful. Just like her, he understood what it ant to suffer.
"Now I’ll find out if what Eleanora is correct," Evangeline said with determination. "She claims that you have four wives, six mistresses, and two babies."
Alex blinked. "You shouldn’t believe Eleanora’s words so readily. I already told you about my Queens, Lavinia, and my agreent with Efa."
"Yes, you did. But there might be soone else." Evangeline lightly pulled Alex’s cheeks. "You also ntioned that you’re seeing a lady in your dreams. Is she your secret lover or sothing?"
"Are you talking about my Guildmaster?"
"Guildmaster?" Evangeline frowned. "You’re part of a guild?"
Alex smirked. "Just drink my blood and maybe you’ll understand. Just make sure to control your bloodthirst, okay? I don’t want to get drained completely and turn into a mummy."
Evangeline’s expression beca serious. "Don’t worry. I’ll control myself. I won’t drink more than what I need."
"Good." Alex nodded. "Let’s start."
Alex then leaned on the wall and lowered his head a bit.
Evangeline took this opportunity to kiss his cheek before placing her lips on Alex’s neck.
A mont later, a muffled groan escaped Alex’s lips as the young lady sank her fangs into his neck and drank his precious blood.
To his surprise, the pain only lasted for a few seconds before it started to feel... good.
The vampires all had this passive ability so that their prey were less likely to struggle and resist while they were feeding.
Usually, they would also use a charm spell to render their captives helpless before they drink their blood. But since Evangeline was drinking Alex’s blood with his consent, they skipped that part.
A minute later, Alex shuddered when he felt the young lady in her arms lick his neck.
Evangeline fought the strong urge to keep feeding. Thankfully, her feelings for Alex had helped her break free from her trance.
She used her power to heal him, closing the small puncture marks on his neck. Even so, there were still two faint red spots left, marking where her fangs had embedded themselves earlier.
Eva’s eyes glowed crimson and she was panting for breath. To calm herself down, she pressed her head against Alex’s chest and listened to his heartbeat.
His beating heart made her feel safe. She soon cald down, after which she activated her bloodline power.
When Eva next opened her eyes, she saw Alex... or at least she believed she was seeing Alex.
The young man in front of her looked exactly like the person that Alex transford to when he was wearing the Mirror Mask.
She saw him walking in what seed to be a city with buildings that were several stories high.
The young lady also saw a giant bird, which seed to be made out of tal, passing overhead.
The sights and sounds in the surroundings all felt foreign to her. She was particularly interested in the horse-less carriages, which ca in different colors and designs.
She watched as Alex accompanied a young lady with long black hair in a park and went to a viewing platform at night.
There, she saw colorful flowers that blood in the sky, illuminating the darkness.
"So pretty," Evangeline muttered as she gazed at the fireworks in the distance.
Suddenly, the young lady with long black hair accompanying Alex turned her head to look in her direction.
For a mont, Evangeline thought that the young lady was looking at soone behind her, so she turned around to see who it was.
However, there was no one there, which made her shift her attention back to the young lady.
To her surprise, the lady smiled at her, and her gaze told Evangeline that she could indeed see her.
’S-She can see ?’ Evangeline shuddered. ’But how can this be? This is just a mory!’
As the sounds of the booming fireworks spread in the surroundings, Noelle mouthed sothing while facing Evangeline.
"Wait for your turn."
Evangeline could only gasp in surprise, unable to figure out how the young lady could see her and also seed to know who she was.
The scene then changed to Alex lying on his bed with a fever.
Noelle was once again there, taking care of him after his sickness had rendered him helpless.
Suddenly, the world shattered. Evangeline found herself in utter darkness.
"Are you afraid of the dark?"
The beautiful lady with long black hair who had accompanied Alex in his mories appeared before Evangeline.
"Who are you?!" Evangeline asked, feeling a little pressured by the young lady’s gaze. "What are you?!"
"Who and what I am is not important," Noelle replied. "I ca here to give you so advice. If you or your father hurt him, I will co to find you and I will kill you."
"I will never hurt Alex!" Evangeline declared.
"Good." Noelle smiled. "Then that ans that we’re on the sa team. Take care of Alex for . He can be reckless at tis, but he is a very loyal and caring person. Oh... and don’t tell him about , okay? Or else, I’ll make you sorry."
The young lady then waved at Evangeline, and the pitch-black world once again shattered.
She now found herself hugging Alex desperately, as if fearing he would disappear completely.
"What’s wrong, Eva?" Alex asked. "You look pale."
"I-I’m fine," Evangeline forced herself to reply. "I still haven’t fully digested the mories that I got from your blood. It will take so ti to skim through them."
"Just take your ti," Alex said as he hugged Evangeline tighter and patted her back to help her calm down. "I’m not going anywhere, okay?"
"Un." Evangeline hugged Alex tighter, using his body heat and his heartbeat to chase away the fear and anxiety that had seized her after she had gazed into the eyes of that beautiful lady, who seed to hold an important place in Alex’s heart.
