Chapter 4

"Ferid-kun! What are you planning? Is it fun? May I join the fun too?" The thirteenth progenitor childishly wraps his arms around the Ferid's shoulders which earned him a humming tune from the older vampire. Earlier this day, Crowley Eusford had decided to visit the silver haired vampire to see what he is up to.

"How crude~ what makes you think that I am planning something~? I am just merely sitting here and reading this new book that I acquired from the ruins of the human library" Ferid purrs to the bulky vampire, his eyes never leaving the new book he is currently reading.

"I heard a rumour that you turned a livestock into one of us" Crowley nibbles Ferid's pointy ear however Ferid paid no mind to the poor progenitor. Crowley unties the ribbon holding Ferid's poncho, exposing the creamy skin of his neck. "It has been awhile since I saw this skin of yours. You are always wearing lots of clothing" The red-head traces the veins on the expose skin of the androgynous noble using his fingers.

"What is this? Did I just heard a jealous Crowley-kun~?" Ferid moaned when Crowley bit the crook of his neck, the bulky vampire sucking the sweet sinful blood of the silver-haired vampire. His nails digging into the book he is holding. "S-stop it" He turned around and grabbed Crowley by his throat. Ferid snarled angrily, his nails piercing the flesh of the taller vampire's throat. "Learn your place weakling-kun" Crimson eyes glares coldly to the bulky vampire.

"F-Ferid-kun… I-I am sorry" Ferid had managed to throw his book which landed directly on his subordinate's face.

"You know your way out Thirteenth Progenitor, Crowley Eusford or you want me to drag your lowly existence out?" Ferid's crimson orbs flashed in a dangerous manner like a vulture waiting for its prey; His face devoid of any emotion except for intense hatred which forced Crowley to vanish out of the seething progenitor's sight. He throws himself back to his fancy chair when a pair of hands covers his eyes.

"It's you" He somewhat relaxes his tense shoulders. He removed his gloves and draw lulling circles on the pale hands.

"You look tired vampire-kun. You also need to take good care of yourself or else the end of our bargain will be void" She whispered in a sweet sultry tone that made him shiver to the bone.

"Go away woman" Ferid hisses angrily but the person he is talking to had decided to sit into his lap and she started to play the strand of his fringes.

"You are so beautiful for a male. No wonder your pet is vying for your attention. Don't frown like that; my prince" Sarcasm lacing at the end of her tone. "You will follow me right, Ferid?" She traces the soft flesh of his throat.

"If you are thinking that I will be your slave… You better change that mind-set of yours sweetheart for I am not like your former lover whom you can treat like a marionette" Ferid answered timidly. The vampire progenitor bobbed his adam's apple when slim fingers traced it smoothly that almost sends sparks across his spine.

"You are always amusing Ferid. I shall talk to you again my beloved vampire" The unknown individual left as fast as the wind blows while leaving the vampire progenitor alone in his wallowing room.

*Sanguinem: Guard's area*

"Mika-san is there anything you want to say? You were staring at me for the last thirty minutes. If you are planning to suck my blood I believe that it will be a problem" Shinoa, who's sitting on the barracks' lounge, said. Later this day, she and a few commoners were given an order to eliminate humans who are starting yet again experimentation in a barren island within the country.

"Shut up, woman" Mika snapped back at her, his crimson eyes glaring daggers into the new born half breed. He walks towards the plane and he gives some instructions to the lower vampires.

"The queen's favorite snapping at the Seventh Progenitor's favorite. I wonder what he's so angry about is. You were like him before you know" Lacus, who is sitting across her muttered to Shinoa in an absent-minded way.

"Don't mind them Lacus. You shouldn't poke your nose into things that you have no business with to begin with" Renè warned the purple head male. He is more annoyed than usual because of the bickering of certain vampires.

"Stop with the chitchat… we need to move now" The blond seraph-vampire hybrid beckon for them to move fast so they can finish their assignment fast.

"Very well said Mika-kun~!" Ferid sling his arm around the blond's shoulder while smiling as if he killed tons of children and watching their body turned into ashes.

"What are you doing here? I have no time for your childish whims" He removed the lean arm by grabbing it harshly.

"My~Oh my~ you are too full of yourself Mika-kun. What gives you the idea that I am here for you, Krul's spoiled child hmm? I am not here for you. I am here for her." Ferid Bathory, pointed at his 'child' nonchalantly. "I volunteered to be the head of this assignment since other nobles are still having a hard time cleaning the war's messed created by JIDA."

Mikaela clicked his tongue angrily while removing Ferid's arm around his shoulder for the second time since the said vampire keeps on putting his arm on his shoulder. "If you are finished with the chitchat then let's go so we can go back fast" Mika entered the plane begrudgingly. His mood worsens upon seeing the seventh progenitor.

"What a rude child~" His lips curved into a toothy grin. He clapped his hands to get the attention of everyone and gave a small debriefing about their assignment. When he is finished, He walked inside the plane and was about to sit next to the blond vampire. "Shinoaaaaa-chan~ Please sit next to me~" He pat the empty chair next to him.

A vein comically pops out her forehead upon hearing the seventh progenitor's whim. Everyone is waiting for her to take the seat next to the vampire noble. In a short time after she became a vampire, she learned that nobles are important but progenitors who doesn't hold the titles of kings and queens are still holding a court rank of princes and princesses and thus, their value is quite important than normal nobles. Commoners usually take a chance to serve under a progenitor as a great opportunity, ah how wrong they are if the progenitor you are serving is this snake named, Ferid Bathory. Shinoa made her way and propped herself to the chair next to the seventh founder. She closed her eyes and ignored the blabbering of the talkative progenitor. No wonder Krul always beat him into pulp whenever they are together. She felt sorry for the queen since this progenitor is obsessed with her and her power.

"Mou~Mika-kun is ignoring me and so does my Shinoa-chan" He crossed his arms as they ignore him like he never existed.
