Raegar looked at the vampire woman before the cat maid's smiling face popped into his mind, causing his cheeks to go red. He shook his head and spoke in a determined voice. ''I'll grow old, just like her, if she doesn't become strong enough.''
Vesa looked at him with wide eyes, while Miranda commented with a knowing smile. ''Oh wow. This woman must be special to you.''
''Yes she is,'' he answered while taking the tea the older woman offered.
''Who is she?!'' Vesa suddenly answered, before her mother gave her an annoyed look.
Raegar let out a soft chuckle as he spoke. ''Yuki's more than just my maid. She's been by my side since the moment I drew my first breath. Together with my parents, they showered me with so much love. I wasn't neglected or brought up with strict standards like other noble children.''
