She Returned as a Vampire

37 – Stepping into the tiger’s den

I think it’s a mansion fit for him.

For Niel, who likes neat things, the non-flashy and modest decorations definitely feel like a place prepared just for him.

And what catches my eye is the bathroom attached to the spacious bedroom. Solid locks on the inside and outside of the door.

…Certainly, the story of the landlord the woman told was not a lie.

This is a structure I like.

“Excuse me, Mr. Heartfield. I brought you a change of clothes.”

Yeah, and then he was there.

Because he is a servant with ability, he is quick to notice.

Is it something to be thankful for even protecting him with all your might?

Did he even estimate his physique? When I put it on, all of them prepared shirts that seemed to fit to some extent.

“Ah, yes. I don’t think women’s clothes will fit my body, so I picked out men’s clothes that I can wear right away from the unused hanging ones.

I prepared several sizes, so try it on, and if it doesn’t fit, I’ll replace it.”

It’s good to go outside the door and wait.

Then there will be no stares… Let’s see, which one will be something that will naturally catch his attention?

I have to make an excuse somehow and use it as a pod to drag him in.

Just a little bit more, it’s obvious that it will come over.

These days, his stare at me has become much softer, and I can feel the heat slightly rising.

The feeling of being connected to each other. The very feeling that your heart beats together.

Even now… This good resonance that seems to resonate like this makes my whole body numb.

“…Mr. Stone. Do you know anything about your kin?”

Come to think of it, I was at the house of the woman who made me this way.

The one who made me fall to the bottom, and the benefactor who gave me a second chance.

I will never do it in vain.

If you’re going to catch it, make sure it never escapes.

I will make it possible for you to live by my side, swallowing only my love forever.

“There is a library in this mansion. Mr. Thompson, who took care of the books there and helped him with his research, knows many secrets along with the key.

I’ll speak to him later, so why don’t you ask him yourself?”

That’s right.

The answer is right here.

Of course I have to… Read those many books myself.

I went through those thick books myself to save him,

It’s nothing like this to keep his heart tied to me.

“Then what…”

I put on my clothes carefully and fasten the buttons – It seems a bit tight.

Still, this is just right. On top of that, I’d wear my coat anyway.

I can’t wait to see his embarrassed face when he slowly takes it off?

And if I put my hand on the clothes I thought would be spare, my heat would flow through his hand.

You don’t have to miss that moment.

I will throw him directly into this room, into this bed that will now be my room, and enjoy it.

I took dozens of lives for him, and even made concessions so that others could stay together –

Shouldn’t this be enough?

I think I deserve to be loved.

So I’m going to make an ‘invitation’ to him, and if he accepts –

“Hatfield, are you ready?”

“I don’t have anything to show you, so you can go on your own. Only Niel is called into this room.

Whether it’s bringing the rest of the party inside or taking care of the people in the heating room… You decide.”

Honestly, Niel, if it weren’t for your consideration, I would have torn you to pieces so I couldn’t even see you.

Even the woman who got so close to me right away without my permission.

If I hadn’t noticed that your body was changing the way I wanted it to.

When I noticed that you were already so drunk with my love that you couldn’t even accept other women… Ha.

Seeing that, I want to see more.

You know, Niel. As I change myself for you

I also want to capture all the moments that change for me.

I want to always keep you by my side and see with my own eyes the barriers in my heart that are gradually crumbling down.

Everything has melted away, and the image that you can’t help but want me at last,

Those eyes that tremble with anxiety as they call out my name.

Those embarrassing moments when I saw myself covered in blood.

“Oh, I see. I will do as you command.”

Doong receiving greetings… Doong doung.

If you saw me standing in front of the mirror and concentrating only on tidying up my appearance,

He must have said something nagging at me.

But you will understand.

Now I am trying to look perfect only to you.

One button undone, and the star-shaped earring you gave me on my ear…

That’s right.

Perfect.

If I unfasten this black mai, which was covered with a thinner cloth than expected, you will see it.

A top that doesn’t cover any outlines of my body and makes me wonder why I would wear it if it was going to be like this.

Sleek pants that reveal the line of the convex pelvis that is perfect for you to hold on to.

Swallowing saliva, my eyes are always fixed on my narrow waist and stomach.

You will see my body, which was created to seduce, protect, and possess you, with eyes that twinkle like the stars that light up the night sky.

Will you leave a red rose on this pale neck like white drawing paper?

Or will I grab my chest and gasp for breath?

If you won’t do that, I’ll come over.

“I am a woman who deserves to be, not to be.”

To have you by my side, I gave up every moment I could have taken with my own hands.

I forcibly raised you up many times and gave up what I could have done again,

I also let go of the moment when I could boast that you were mine in front of countless eyes.

I endured what I wanted to do beyond holding hands,

I just imagined putting my head on the nape of your neck and making flowers bloom.

If I can’t get you,

No woman will ever get you.

Don’t you think so, Niel?

I have already slaughtered a man to prove my innocence to you,

I tore all the monsters apart to protect you.

Even if my body is soaked with dirty blood, when the hands of those other than you dared to harm me, I will chew away all the disgust that filled me.

I came all this way with one single thought to protect you.

If I can’t get you, who can?

Ah, that’s right.

When I was a human, I will never get you.

I won’t forgive you for daring to touch me.

Because I will thoroughly mash, crush, and erase.

On that day, how deeply the word that I hadn’t changed was embedded in my heart.

I want you to know.

“Here you are.”

It was Mr. Stone who managed to grab hold of one of the corpses and stopped me from dragging him out.

“It’s okay to leave it as it is. We’ll take care of it ourselves. All of them are valuable food, and for those who are sick, like this right now.”

My God, is anyone still breathing?

As he held his head up one by one and took out a pen from his bosom and left a mark, his eyes were clearly shining.

“…Hah, excuse me.”

In the end, I got fed up with him, who even made me drool, so I let go of my hands that were holding on to the dead man’s clothes and fell from the heap.

He flicked his pen a few more times, got himself up, wiped off his blood, and came over to me.

“A very powerful man. A blood relative fit to protect us.”

“Suitable?”

“He has things to protect, and he has ambition. He will protect his daily life.”

Looking at me gently, with a faint smile, he stood in front of me and walked out.

“All of my blood relatives are crazy about love. Whether it’s relatively light or thick, it will far exceed the amount you can imagine.

And to keep it from being threatened, he will try to protect everything in this mansion.

As long as we obey his orders and help him, we will never be threatened by foreign powers again.

If we try to live our normal lives and find our own lives under the safety of the mansion – he will tolerate it.”

“What are you talking about…”

“The reason I’m saying this is to warn you in advance because we clearly have different viewpoints from Pietro, who is human and we can live only by eating blood.

Anyway, the previous owner’s companion couldn’t accept us like this.

You couldn’t accept any of that, and in the end, you faced tragedy, but –

I believe that Pietro will be different.”

What he is talking about now is the former owner. I’m talking about Dorothy Tia and her husband.

But why are you doing that to me?

No way, warning?

Are you giving me a word in advance so that I don’t do anything stupid?

“We try to drink animal blood as much as possible. However, when it is not possible, we buy human blood.

It also hunts vampires wandering outside. Do you think that is cruel?”

In an instant, sharp fangs emerged from his open mouth, and I had no choice but to swallow.

Are you threatening me? Were they, after all, simply greedy monsters?

“Mr. Stone, are you going to – “

When I tried to get my hand into the scabbard of the loincloth, he startled and hit his hand.

“No, it’s not a threat. If you thought so, please forgive my rudeness.

It was nothing else, to ask for forgiveness for our cursed condition in advance.

It was done to clearly show us who are different from humans.”

He bent down even more and handed me an apology with a low attitude that would not be lacking even if he was servile.

“It’s good if there are no problems, but if there are, we’ll be more careful.

Oh, and…”

In front of a room I finally reached, and in front of this strange door that could be locked with multiple locks from the outside.

He stopped his feet.

“My master wants to see Pietro.”

As soon as he finished his words, the door opened its tightly closed mouth to accept me.

And what came out of her was too much, and she was wearing a well-fitting suit.

Even if you cover it up with a mitten, it might be good for the chest that looks like it’s going to burst at any moment.

“Welcome. I’ve been waiting for you.”

Full of her composure, she smiled coyly and held out her hand to me with her shoulders wide open.

“Come in. We have a lot to talk about.”

I couldn’t help but shrink my body from the appearance and atmosphere quite different from the girl who tried to take me the previous time.

More and more she came out confidently to me rather than becoming desperate,

I was getting weak with her.

And why am I naturally accepting this whole series of processes?

Why did my body grab her hand, which stretched out so easily, and put her foot into the gaping trap to catch me?

“Well then, have a good time.”

With those words, the door closed, and the sound of irons clashing was heard.

Maybe coming to the mansion wasn’t a good plan.

But it was the best plan for her.
