74 I dont feel abnormal (1/2)

[Elder Sister, isn't it just better to ignore him and continue living here quietly until you get the chance to leave?]

She doesn't respond to Xiao Chun Dan's question. She follows Aiken quietly. The castle is made from black stones. She has noticed the walls which were broken by her when she was here last time are standing intact. She realizes that she doesn't see anyone other than Aiken. Even when she left Fu Sheng's room earlier, she didn't see anyone roaming around either. Who else lives here other than the purebloods and Fu Mian?

”Lady Huang, this is your room.” Aiken points at the door. ”Please wait here. I will send someone to become your guide. I will make the other arrangements. If you need anything, you just have to say my name out loud once. Please excuse me.”

”Uh...” Huang Qiuyan looks at the only pureblood who wears glasses. ”What's your name?”

Aiken blinks his eyes. Did he not introduce himself? He smacks his forehead in embarrassment before he bows down deeply. ”I must apologize to you for my grave mistake. You can call me Aiken.”

Just Aiken? How will she address him properly? He's definitely a lot senior to her.

She looks at him solemnly. ”Can I know the family name, Sir?”

He smiles at her politely. ”Lady Huang, I cannot tell you that. The names have powers. Only the king and my mate are allowed to know according to the laws set by the first pureblood king in this world.”

[Pureblood vampires are quite rare. It's not unusual that they are quite secretive.]

But Fu Sheng is Fu Sheng. He has a family name. ”Why does Fu Sheng has a family name then?”

Aiken looks away uneasily. ”The name 'Fu' was taken by the 6th king. It carries a deep message for the royal bloodline. I am not sure whether I should tell you or not, my lady. You are a recent convert. You are mentally more human than a vampire currently. You might find it hurtful.”

She hasn't expected to hear that. What he means is she's a vampire with a human heart. She can't understand them, even if he tells her. Why do these purebloods act so differently? They look human in every way.

”If you suddenly become a human one day, will you be able to let go of your past as a vampire?” Huang Qiuyan asks him with a sharp voice.

Aiken doesn't meet her chilling gaze. She's still his king's mate, not an average convert. He can't offend her or talk to her in the same tone, even if she loses her temper. Then, she doesn't know anything.

Seeing him being silent, she adds loudly, ”What's wrong if I am more human than a vampire mentally anyway? I don't find anything wrong with it.”
