Heya!

This is a new story I started on Wattpad

And decided to share it with you guys on too!

Sorry in advance for any spelling or grammatical mistakes.

Enjoy.

Her black frilled and layered skirt in her hands, the maid rushed up the stairs, her old and wrinkled face etched with panic and worry, and her brown curls bouncing on her shoulders. Her dull, dark eyes were brightened with glee but shrouded with confusion as she hurriedly made tracks for her master's office, the heels of her boots clipping against the smooth, laminate wood floors.

"It can't be possible," she muttered to herself as she knocked heavily and hastily on the mahogany door. "It can't be possible."

"Come in." She burst in the door, her hair a mess and feeling an emotional wreck. She would apologise later, but now her master needed the news from someone who knew. Someone who had been around long enough to understand.

"What is wrong Katherine? In all my years I've ever seen you so upset," Nagamichi Aido fretted, his eyes wide and eyebrows furrowed worriedly as he took in her disheveled appearance.

"Sh-sh-she is here Nagamichi-sama! She is here after so long!" the maid gushed, tears of joy streaming down her rounded cheeks and a hand over her heart. "Oh joy- she's here!"

Nagamichi frowned, panicking slightly with the maid's odd behaviour. He entwined his fingers and rested his chin on them, trying to count how many years she had been working in the house; eighty years at least. Maybe she was becoming senile.

"Who is here?" he asked, trying to remain calm. "Who is here and causing you such... causing you to be such a... buNdle of nerves?"

She almost shouted her next words, her hands shooting out from her chest dramatically to show her happiness as she beamed at the head of the Aido family with bleary eyes, "Gotha-sama!"

Nagamichi stared at her, mouth agape as it moved aimlessly. He jolted from his seat and thundered, at a polite walking pace, out of his office and down the stairs. He spotted a figure at the bottom of the stairs and stopped in his tracks.

Hearing his footsteps, they turned around, the hood of their black scarf falling from their head. Hair swished down her back as her eyes twinkled with warmth and glee at the sight of the Aido family member.

"Nagamichi Aido-san, correct?"

He nodded, in a daze of sorts. Her features, they were just like those the purebloods he had served up until a few decades ago had told him that belonged to that woman. He couldn't believe his eyes.

"Y-you were believed dead?" he managed, a lump in his throat as his fought to compose himself in front of his new mistress.

She shrugged lightly, a little laughter escaping from her lips.

"I needed to... escape the Senate for a while. Upon hearing the death of my kin, I returned to fill a few promises that I had not followed up on," she told him, tugging on the scarf around her neck to have it slide down her petite shoulder and folding it nearly in her hands. "One of which concerns your family."

Nagamichi's eyes widened even more if possible, and he stared at her aghast honoured for a pure blood, especially a Gotha, to be even speaking with a member of his household, "Anything we can do for you Gotha-sama, will be done."

She smiled warmly at him before her smile faded into a serious expression, "I came to fulfil a promise my family made to yours days after the war between hunters and vampires ended."

She took a deep breath, and her eyes were laced with a blood red crimson and determination as she continued, "If ever there was one Gotha left, they should marry an Aido."

Nagamichi lost all control of his voice, and he felt his ears had misheard her. He blinked repeatedly and took a shaky step backwards.

"I'm s-sorry, Gotha-sama, would you mind repeating that?" he managed, tongue almost tying itself in a knot as his eyebrows knit together and his hands shook with joy and excitement.

She simpered, her soft skinned cheeks tinted the vaguest shade of pink.

"I would like to marry your son, Hanabusa, Nagamichi-kun," she repeated in a gentle and welcoming voice. "And finally unite the Gotha and Aido families, who have been companions for centuries."

Tears threatened to drop from Nagamichi Aido's electric blue eyes and without hesitation, she handed her future father-in-law her scarf for him to dry his eyes with, which only made his eyes water even more.

"Let's continue this discussion some where more private," she suggested, a dainty hand on Nagamichi's shoulder and a sad but strangely happy at the same time, smile on her face.

Nagamichi nodded and lead her upstairs, ready to listen and comply to any requests the pure blood who was granting such a great thing upon his family.
