Chapter 2

Chapter 2

A maid approached Elysia, who was drinking tea in her room.

“This is a letter to the Lady.”

“Thank you.”

Elysia’s eyes widened as she put down the teacup and saw the envelope.

The sender section of the envelope had a silver seal on a navy envelope, with the name of the person who she’d spent the night with.

‘Oh my... is your beauty from your owner?’

She laughed at the thought that even the envelope was beautiful like its owner.

The contents of the letter politely asked that he wants to meet her, written in amazing penmanship.

Elysia tapped her lips with the envelope. She wondered about him, who would look lost and confused due to lack of memory.

‘I think that expression is also going to look sexy...’

When Elysia woke up in his bedroom after spending the night with Cassian, she eventually erased his memory using her vampire abilities.

Each vampire has their own abilities, and in her case, she was able to erase a day’s worth of memories.

Although there was a condition for erasing memories that the person’s eyes must be closed, it was hardly a disadvantage.

“Hmm...”

From that day on, all of her vampire characteristics had returned.

Eyesight, smell, and hearing, all superior to humans, including overwhelming strength and resilience.

Except for the fact that she has a heartbeat, she was just like a vampire.

Elysia looked at the letter again.

She really didn’t want Cassian to know completely that they had spent the night, but the employees of the Duke of Esteban would know that. It was impossible to hold onto each of the employees and erase their memories, so that part was unavoidable.

So, when Cassian wakes up and comes to his senses, all he would know is that he just had a one night affair with Elysia Lowell. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Elysia took out a blank letter paper and picked up a pen.

She doesn’t beat around the bush, so there wasn’t even a sentence asking him about his day.

She wrote one brief sentence in the center of the letter.

[Please leave that day as a memory, and please forget about it.]

It meant that she didn’t want to meet him. She thought it wouldn’t be bad for Cassian either. Because there is no situation where he will be in trouble just because of one night without memories.

The Giovanni Empire has become quite open as dating and marriage became popular a few years ago.

So it wouldn’t look weird if she asked him to forget it.

‘Although not all of them are open-minded yet...’

Elysia carefully folded the letter and put it in an envelope.

The family’s seal was stamped over the sealing wax and the envelope was pulled aside.

With this, she could now really pursue absolute safety and peace.

The reason she keeps calling out for safety is because of the contents of the novel and that she is a vampire.

She became the villain, Elysia Lowell, in the novel, `Lumiere’, she read five years ago.

She doesn’t know why she possessed this body.

‘A vampire fanfiction...!’

Usually, if you look at a novel, humans possess the body of a vampire, or humans turn into vampires, don’t they?

She has read many fantasy genre novels but never seen vampires possessing human bodies.

In addition, even more cases showed up where the human body becomes a vampire.

As usual, after work, she would read a novel while drinking blood in a wine glass.

One thing that was different from usual was that she didn’t like the content of the novel very much.

Revos, the male protagonist, was in a relationship with Elysia. Until the appearance of the heroine Lumiere.

He was the first son of the emperor, but his mother’s background was low and he grew up as an abused child.

Revos, who dreamed of revenge for his mother and needed power, was far less powerful compared to the Empress’ son, the second prince.

However, the situation is reversed when Elysia, the daughter of the Duke of Lowell, who has been serving the Emperor for generations, falls in love with Revos.

Elysia makes Revos a prince, and Revos stands by Elysia.

It could be said that it was a good relationship where each could take what they wanted.

However, the heroine appears, and Revos, who falls in love with the heroine, informs Elysia of the breakup.

It was obviously behind the scenes. The blackened Elysia became a villain, who tormented the two main characters and held hands with the Second Prince.

The final scene was the death of the evil woman and the grand wedding of the two protagonists.

There were only two parts she did not like after reading this novel.

Elysia’s nickname was Sia, the same as her own name, and that no matter what, the male lead doesn’t make sense.

Even if they weren’t in love, it was a relationship based on necessity, so shouldn’t it be accurate to give and receive?

So, when she first learned that she got into the novel, she was very uncomfortable, but she was willing to accept it as she couldn’t figure out how to go back.

The problem was that when she was reborn, it had already been a year since she became Revo’s lover, and her body was gradually becoming a vampire.

‘Wow. I’ve been struggling for 5 years.’

She thought she had become a human, but she had to live as quietly as possible because she was turning into a vampire.

In a world without vampires, it would be terrible if you are near the main characters for nothing and get caught up in the development.

It would be difficult to get accused as a witch or demon.

She wanted to break up with Revos right away, but she was afraid of what would happen if she hastily arranged the breakup with him.

She is the only one in the world who knows of the future.

So in the end, like the original story, she will eventually put Revos on the throne and pretend to be his lover for five years.

Two days before the banquet began, she broke up with Revos and even conjured a story, so now, meeting the heroine would not be a problem.

****

Elysia, who was looking at the Imperial newspaper, uttered a swear word.

“Oh my... this is insane.”

The main imperial newspaper featured an article about the love triangle between Elysia, Duke Esteban, and her “old lover” Prince Revos.

The butler came to her with an embarrassing expression.

“What’s going on?”

“Someone’s here to see you. Duke Esteban’s aide to be exact; he’s in the parlor.”

“I see.”

As she followed the butler to the parlor, a man, who seemed to be the aide, politely said hello.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Lloyd, the Duke of Esteban’s aide.”

“It’s nice to meet you as well, and if I may, why are you here?”

“The Duke said that he would like to meet you. The meeting time and place will be set in a time that is convenient for the Lady.”

Behind Lloyd’s back, she saw rows of servants who were bringing gifts.

What the hell?

Seeing Lloyd smiling as he pointed at the gifts, it seemed like it was from Cassian.

“I refuse. Please take the gifts back.”

If we meet, we’ll both have a hard time.

His dizzying body shape will evoke her vampire desire, and her vampire desire will evoke skinship.

It hadn’t been long since she changed, so she lacked self-control.

It was quite difficult to control the vampire instincts against most people.

She’s afraid that she would lose her reason and bite his neck when she meets Cassian, that’s why she’s reluctant to see him.

Besides, she can only use her abilities once on someone or else it won’t work.

“I will tell him, but the gifts aren’t related to it. So please accept them.”

How can it be irrelevant?

When Elysia wriggled her eyebrows and tried to refute, Lloyd turned around and left.

She had a lot of regrets about the scandal, she should have talked about it.

However, the regret disappeared within a day when Lloyd came back the next day.

***

Gray, a maid who works for the Duke of Lowell, was tearful at the figure of Elysia screaming as soon as she got up today.

She was worried about the Lady who had stayed overnight after she attended the imperial banquet and since then, has been screaming and making mysterious remarks.

After knocking, she entered the room and saw Elysia sitting on the bed with her silver hair pulled all the way through.

Her hair is managed with the finest oil that comes in only two bottles from the East of the Empire...!

The appearance of Elysia five years ago overlapped in front of Gray’s eyes.

Still, it wasn’t the first time, so it was easy to tell from only her facial expressions.

“Did he come here again today...?”

“Yes...”

Gray pushed Elysia into the bathroom.

“I told you to chase him away.”

“You know it’s hard to do that.”

“We have to see the Duke anyway. It should be fine, just kick his feet away. If only my father was here... Haa...”

The sound of Elysia’s gritting teeth rang in the bathroom.

The day after she sent Cassian an answer asking him to stop, his aide began to visit the mansion.

Every day, with a variety of gifts.

It was the reason why she tore her hair out every morning.

After taking a bath, the maid asked Elysia, who sat at the vanity.

“What about your hair?”

“You don’t need to do it. All you have to do is put on the makeup.”

Elysia simply finished her dress up and headed to the parlor.

It was obvious that the aide would repeat the same words today.

‘The Duke said that he would like to meet you. The meeting time and place will be set in a time that is convenient to the Lady.’

She didn’t understand why he was doing this when she just asked him to forget about it.

She just needed to meet Cassian in person, but she didn’t want to.

Upon arriving at the parlor, Lloyd, the assistant, greeted Elysia politely as always. It was already a week or two, meeting him face to face every morning.

“Today, again, my answer is ‘No.’ If you come again, I will take it as ignoring our family.”

Elysia answered before Lloyd could even open his mouth.

She didn’t even care to be polite anymore.

No matter how many times she refuses, what can she do if they keep visiting her constantly?

It was very pitiful for the aide, who was getting emaciated as the days passed, but that was it.

Lloyd’s face, who was looking at Elysia’s eyes, turned pale.

“I’ll go back now. I’m sorry, Miss.”

It wasn’t a good idea to come every day.

Elysia raised her hand and pressed her eye.

On the table, she glanced at the gifts from the Duke of Esteban.

How many kinds are there? It included endless dresses and shoes, but the sizes fit exactly as if it were all custom.

It seems like she needs to change the tailor she goes to.
