"...with that, I suggest we fasten the process of making this village a tourist destination as soon as possible, my Lord. The offsprings are in dire need of to taste of human flesh. Animal meat and a sip of human blood are no longer satisfied them." A man with blonde hair speaks to Balan, who is also the Lord of the land. The honoured is currently sitting on a throne while casually twirling a wine glass filled with blood while chewing a bloodied eyeball, "I've told you to wait for King's approval, Rikkard."

The blonde man, whose name is Rikkard, is obviously the representative of the villagers and continues to advise while dramatically lifting his hand in the air, "But we are a superior being that the King himself afraid of, my Lord!" he then continues to be over-the-top as his emotions start to be on fire, "We shall not..."

Not really listening fully since he knows Rikkard is really a stubborn man, Balan lazily takes another eyeball from the bowl that is placed on the food trolley beside him and chews on it, enjoying the springy texture it gives as the sweetness of blood mixed with salty liquid burst inside his mouth. He then casually takes a sip of blood as he wishes he can just have the ability to feel drowsy because this speech is getting boring every second.

Being a first-generation vampire, Balan does not need to sleep. This is because the venom inside him helps to regenerate his body at a rapid pace, making him never tire out and feel the need to sleep.

Sometimes he feels envious of Tao because of this, as he always sees the young vampire spends most of his morning sleeping. For Balan, the feeling of drowsiness and being able to sleep helps a lot to pass a little bit of time from their eternal life. Them being immortal often feels very bored to their monotone and lonely life. So, spending some of their 24 hours in a day in unconsciousness doesn't sound bad in his opinion.

He then turns his gaze to Hans, as the head butler currently sticks his eyes to a small notebook that he held while scribbling every word that Rikkard had said. It seems not a single word had been left out if you see how fast Hans' hand is currently scribbling on the paper.

The sight makes Balan pout a little bit because the head butler seems to write all unclear words of what this blabbering blonde man had said. If Hans just ended up going to records all of them and force Balan to reread it again after this, Then why on earth he needs to hear all of this?

The honoured sighs as he sips the blood in his wine glass while looking bored.

They are currently in the throne room, a vast hall with the single fancy-as-fuck throne on top of a platform that is placed at the farthest edge of the room. The room often functions as a meeting place between the villagers and the authorities that are tasked to listen to their confides. Usually, Lambert is the one who has the duty to listen to the villagers' whining as he is the most trusted man of Balan. Even though he's not the most patient.

But Lambert is currently unavailable at the moment because his spoiled lover had been craving moose meat. So being whipped lover as he is, Lambert obliges to the request and now had gone to Sweden in a quest to hunt for a moose, causing him to be gone and leave Balan to be stuck doing this boring job for a week.

He should've ordered Tao to do this task as the boy is very talkative. It might even ward off the sulker away because of the young vampire's hobby to blabber continuously.

And as if the God, or maybe Satan, hears his lament, the tall double-door suddenly burst open as the human boy that he wrecked yesterday night stomps into the room with a cute grumpy expression on his beautiful face. Noi doesn't seem to realize that he had interrupted an important meeting as he's too angry to mind. Not far from him, Tao is seen tailing behind him with a confused expression.

The human's intoxicating smell and presence makes the blonde man stop his long and unnecessary speech to gasps in surprise as his once ocean-blue eyes glow into light pink colour, "Human?!"

The little lamb's presence that is currently approaching him like a soldier instantly brings a wide smile to the lamenting vampire. He then put the glass back to the food trolley and stands up while opening his arms to make a welcoming gesture, "Ah, my cute little Noi, to what do I owe to have your graceful visit?"

But instead of replying to the greeting, Noi throws a punch on Balan's handsome face. The one who's being punched expected that to happen so he follows the direction of the hit, not wanting to make the human boy's knuckles crack again. But because of his kind act, it looked like Balan is successfully being assaulted by the much weaker being, making all the vampires that are present in the room gasp in unison.

Noi barks to the honoured, "How dare you burnt down my Da Vincis'??!! Do you have any idea how precious they are??!!"

Balan turns his face back and raised one of his eyebrows to shows confusion, "Da Vincis?"

Giving no time for Noi to avoid him, Balan instantly iron-grip the human boy's slender waist while frowning, "As in Leonardo Da Vinci? But that old man died more than 500 years ago and he for sure not died from burning. I've gone to his funeral as well back in France. He was being buried, not by cremation. So, what on earth are you saying, darling? Don't tell me he comes back from the dead?"

Noi was too late to realizes that he has gone too close to the supernatural being and currently struggling inside Balan's embrace, "Let me go!"

"Well, you're the one who suddenly approaches and blindly throws a punch at me," the honoured replies as he sits back on the throne while forcibly bringing the protesting human boy to sit on his lap. He then tightens his embrace, making the latter squeal in pain because the muscular arms are starting to squeeze the already small waist, giving no gap for the human boy to wiggle his way out. The small voice earns a smile from the sadistic vampire, "Now, care to explains why you suddenly declare ownership over a dead person? Are you trying to make me jealous, my dear?"

"Who the hell tried to make you jealous? Are you crazy?!" Noi shrieks as he keeps on struggling on the vampire's lap, "Now let me go, Balan!"

"Aw~ I really like how you call my name, darling." Balan replies as his smile still plasters on his face, "And I love how you keep on squirming your buttocks on my private part. So, Can I assume that as you want to be fuck again?"

Noi gasps in disbelief as the honoured shocking declaration successfully makes him stop his movement and a hint of blush is now visible across his chubby cheeks, "You perverted vampire! I can't believe I ever meet someone so rude and obnoxious as you!"

"Well, there's always a first time in everything, darling," Balan replies with a chuckle as he feels amused by the bravery or foolishness the human boy has.

"My Lord," the blonde man's voice suddenly interrupts their bickering. The glowing light pink orbs of his gaze the caged human boy in wonder while pinching his own nose to block the sweet scent that emitting from Noi, "Why is there a human here inside the castle?"

The honoured shrugs and use his other hand to grip Noi's jaw and force the latter to show his face to the blonde vampire, "He's a new pet of mine. Isn't he an exotic one, Rikkard?"

Before the other party can reply, Noi barks back at the remark while still trying to resist despite its futile, "I am NOT your pet you perverted bastard!!"

The foul words make the blonde man gasps in shock as he has never seen someone ever dares to mock his Lord, forgetting his nose to cover his gaping mouth with the hand, "Oh my Lord! He seems untamed!"

"Well yes, but isn't he wonderful? I have never seen an Asian with dark skin this beautiful before." Balan replies as he looks at Noi in fascination, "Very exquisite, he's a rare one around this area."

Being called beautiful and exquisite by an overly handsome man will make every man or woman blush as their heart will accelerate because of the compliment. That effect is of course applies to Noi as well, even though most of his heart beating like a marathon runner is also caused by fear.

Rikkard nods in understanding as he suddenly suggests, "If he's your pet, then will you put a collar and chained him, my Lord? That's what usually humans do to domesticate their pets, is it not?"

Hearing that, makes Noi's doe-eyes widen in horror while Balan's eyes widen in excitement, "That's such a great idea, Rikkard! I definitely need a beautiful one for my pet."

"No! You crazy-ahh!" Noi shrieks as Balan suddenly lift his jaw to expose his neck further, "Balan! Stop it! You're hurting me!" the poor boy pleas as his hands are now gripping the veiny hand that held him roughly. He then gazes at Tao to ask for help. But unfortunately, the young vampire just stares back blankly as if Noi currently wasn't get assaulted and treated badly.

"I bet one made of diamonds will look good on his dark skin. Ordered one for me immediately, Hans! With that handprint lock type of thing so this pet of mine won't be able to open it," Balan says excitedly and Hans replies with an affirmation as he walks out to carry out the order.

"Stop calling me a pet and don't even dare to put that collar on me, Balan! I'm not a dog!!" Noi shouts as he still desperately tries to free his jaw from the latter's grip. Then the veiny hand violently bring his face so the dark brown orbs are now directly staring at the eerie black ones. The honoured shrugs as he chuckles amusedly, "Who said you're a dog, darling? I'm just trying to mark ownership while trying to tame you. Should be fun to do that knowing how brazen you are to me."

Instead of being afraid like a normal human should be, Noi's hard breath flares out of his nostrils and barks to the grinning vampire without any fear, "YOU PSYCHO!! I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL!!"

Balan shrugs and giggles, "Well, I already did even though technically not in hell." he then diverts his attention to Tao, who has been quietly staring at them since the beginning, "It seems he's already eaten to be this feisty, am I correct?"

Tao let out a hum as an affirmation while folding his arms in front of his chest, "But I don't recommend you to play with him right now, P'In. Give him more time to heal as I've said before, he's just a human so his body is very frail. Don't be so harsh on him."

Balan clicks his tongue as he feels disappointed that he's still not allowed to play with his little lamb, "Too bad. Guess I've let you go for now. But remember this, my dear,"

The honoured releases the Noi's jaw and instead, grab the poor boy's neck and pulls him closer, forcing the latter to face his now glowing red eyes, "You belonged to me, Noi. Your body is no longer yours to own. Everything," his grips on the nape and waist tighten, making the human boy flinch because of the brute force and the menacing aura that begun to dominate him, forcing him to submit to the adonis of a man that manhandles him, "belongs to me."

"You own nothing, even your life." Balan taunts as he let out a creepy smile, "So I suggest you start to try to respect me. Because even though I am a very patient man, I have my own limit and do not tolerate disrespect."
