The door opened, and a skeleton walked in. It walked up to eilfer. "Lord Nolan requests the company of the young princess in an hours time, at dinner. My name is Feriner. I am my lords familier" he said

Elfier made sure the clothes were perfect as he looked over to see Airabella had sunk into the water. He blinked is dull brown eyes once as a smile appeared on his face, his eyes widen suddenly widen once he heard a voice at the door. Elfier turned his large head to see a walking skeleton, which turned out to be the vampire male's familiar and introduced himself as Feriner. "I am Elfier, one of many familiars for Mistress Airabella. I will make sure she gets there." He cloaked then turned his head to face the basin. Two hands grabbed the edges and a feminine body was pulled up from the herbal water. "The man's familiar, what a pleasant thing to see after what feels like an...eternity." Airabella said softly, moving her bang from her face as the water dripped from the soaked pale purple hair.

The house, when she got walking around, was obviously owned by Nobility. It had that refined touch you get by those in power, and the servants weren't the usual people : They were demons. Bound one's, at that. It didn't take an Einstein to figure out whoever owned this place was incredibly strong.

In the Dining hall, Nolan was dressed in Velvet and Gold clothing, staring at the fire. He didn't seem to notice her.

Elfier looked at Airabella as she blinked lightly, he picked up a towel and placed it around Airabella's shoulders. The vampire female dried herself off and got out of the basin, looking at the clothes she had to wear. Elfier watched and slowly walked over to her, "Would Mistress need my assistance?" He asked blinking lightly, Airabella turned his head and shook her head. "No, I'll be fine. Go ahead downstairs to the vampire, I will be there in a moment." She said softly closing her eyes and starts to get dressed. Elfier bowed his head as he turned his massive body and walked out the room. He looked around at the large house, his brown eyes scanned the area as he located the stairs and slowly walked down them. Meanwhile, Airabella made sure the dress that she wore was good enough.

Within a few minutes, Airabella was out of the room and slowly walked downstairs, seeing Elfier standing at the bottom of the stairs. She held Elfier's large webbed hand and walked over to the vampire near a fireplace. "Hmm, I wonder what your thinking of." She said blinking lightly, her hair was in a high ponytail and clamped her hand in front of her.

"Thinking about how long it's been since I turned Into this.....thing. "he said. "I've taken it into a habit of carving a scar into my arm, for every year. "he said to her. "But, I only started 10 years ago. "He said, tossing a stick in the fire. "So......how do you like my family home?......Before I was changed to this, I was a Noble. "He said to her.

Airabella blinked lightly as she looked at Elfier, nodding her head lightly as he turned and vanished into the large halls. She listened quickly, her silver gray eyes shimmering lightly as she walked slowly to looked at Nolan's face. "I see, that must be fun." She said softly, closing her eyes lightly, turning her head to the fire slowly and opened her eyes again. "I still remember who old I am, it is saddening but I'm use to it." Airabella said after a moment of silence, turning her head over to face Nolan again. "You're home is...big. Bigger than my home actually. Then again, I was Woman Beggar's daughter." The vampire girl giggled, placing two fingers over her mouth lightly. "Now that I think about it, I probably would have never met you."

"No, you still probably would've. I was an adventurer. "he said to her. "I never stayed a home more then a few days a year, and even then, I was never really social. I never saw any interest in being rich. "He said to her. "I was a Mercenary, a Hunter, and a Savior. Now, all that doesn't matter. People like to forget that, before I was a vampire, I actually tried to 'protect' those fools. "He said.

Airabella listened to Nolan speak. She closed her eyes slowly, imagining him as an adventurer. "I see." She said softly, her voice becoming softer than usual. She, then, went question. It was true. He did seem to be protecting the humans but she could't call them fools. After all, her mother was one of those fools. "You were rich? Hm, I see. Sadly I cannot agree with you on the fools part, they are just misguided. However, I stand true about what I said on meeting you. I wouldn't have because you were an adventurer, I wouldn't be able to meet you because I wouldn't be around that long." She said looking over towards Nolan. "By the way, why haven't you killed me anyway?" Airabella asked, crossing her arms a little.

"I gave your Father an Ultimatum : 3 weeks. If he doesn't deliver a cure by then, I send your head to him. "He said, getting up. "Don't say he doesn't have it, I know he does."

Airabella blinked lightly, she listened to his but she didn't respond to it. She didn't flinch or anything. "I see." She said softly, finally breaking the silence. She stretched a little yawning lightly, "Then let's see what happens. I don't know if he has it or not." Airabella said shrugging lightly then walked towards the chair and sat down closing her eyes.

"So, what shall I do with you, hm? Your almost defenseless, I can easily overpower you, and none is here to stop me" he said. You notice that the door is warded, so nothing can get in, or out.

Airabella kept her mouth shut, she arched a brow as she crossed her legs chuckling to herself. “Do what you wish. I’m an object to those who kidnap me, I still am.” She said softly, she closed her eyes and gently tapped the arm of the chair she sat in. However, curiosity coursed through her body, she wanted to know what was going to happen or any plans that were going through that brain of his. “Before I do drift off to sleep, what exactly are you planning?” Airabella asked opening one eye, she then clamped her hands together, interlacing them together.

"A wide range of things, from Both pleasant, to unpleasant. I'm still debating. "He said, pouring a bottle of wine in a Glass, and giving it to her.

(Shikabane Hime: )

Airabella watched as Nolan stood in front of her, speaking to her a sort of regal tone. She wasn't really surprised but his mannerisms since he was born into a richer family. A faint sigh escaped her lips as she soon looked at the glass of wine he had poured for her. She took the glass and moves in small circles, watching the liquid swirl around the glass. She looked up towards Nolan, a soft smile appearing on her face, "Well, this will be an interesting three to four weeks then huh?" She said, setting the cup on a small table near her, placing her hands behind her head and relaxed in the chair.

"So tell me, why did you react like that, when I met you? You could've easily killed me, stunned as I was. Why not take the chance?"he asked.
