Gut-wrenching screams echoed through the park. Isaac had knocked out Rem’s two fangs. Blood gushed from snazzynovel.com mouth.
***
It was nearly dawn by the time Isaac and the rest returned to Diana’s villa.
In the living room, Albert sat on the couch, smoking.
Diana had taken snazzynovel.com parents out for hours. During that time, Jane had tried to persuade snazzynovel.com to come home with them. However, snazzynovel.com simply refused. Only Albert knew about his daughter’s transformation, but snazzynovel.com didn’t dare to tell Jane.
Hearing footsteps, Albert raised his head. He saw Isaac entering with a person draped in a black cloak.
“Where’s Diana?”
“She’s talking with snazzynovel.com mother upstairs.” Albert pointed to the second floor.
Isaac nodded. He knew Albert and his wife were returning to Cynea after daybreak, but Diana would not. Naturally, snazzynovel.com mother couldn’t bear to leave her.
“Go call Diana down. Tell snazzynovel.com that I need to talk to snazzynovel.com in the study…” Isaac smiled at Albert before taking the cloaked person to the study.
Not long after, the door opened, and Diana walked in.
She was caught off-guard when snazzynovel.com saw Isaac sitting behind the desk and a cloaked person standing off to the side.
Still, the moment snazzynovel.com stepped into the room, snazzynovel.com felt a sense of pressure overcome her. She shivered uncontrollably and began to sweat.
Each step snazzynovel.com took was arduous.
“Isaac, why did…” Diana made it to the desk with difficulty. She stood behind the cloaked figure and looked at Isaac nervously.
“Is your mind set on not following your parents home?” Isaac regarded Diana.
At the mention of snazzynovel.com parents, Diana looked saddened. She sniffled and shook snazzynovel.com head resolutely. “I can’t go back.”
“Alright, then… From today onward, you’ll have a companion. In the future, you can just stick with her…”
“A companion?” Diana’s eyes widened.
At that moment, the cloaked person removed the hood covering snazzynovel.com head. Rem’s pale face peeked out.
She turned to Diana and gave snazzynovel.com a miserable smile. She spread snazzynovel.com arms for a hug, smiling. “Diana, don’t worry. I’ll take care of you.”
“Lady Rem?” The moment Diana saw Rem’s face, snazzynovel.com reflexively shrunk back like a spooked cat.
Isaac stood up while shaking his head. “No, she’s your companion now.”
“That’s right. I’ve already discussed things with Isaac. Your friend is such a great guy.” Rem gave Isaac a glance. She practically gritted out the last sentence through gritted teeth.
Before they came back, Rem had signed a spiritual contract with Isaac.
This was an ancient rite that could only be done if a bloodsucker willingly became another person’s attendant. They would use the blood in their heart to write down the content of the contract. And Rem’s condition for survival was to become Isaac’s attendant forever.
Now, Isaac needed Rem to protect Diana.
“Don’t worry, my dear companion. We’ll have many days together to come. You’ll soon realize that I’m not actually that scary.” Rem saw the fear in Diana’s eyes.
With a smile, snazzynovel.com stepped forward and held Diana’s hand.
“Alright, Rem, you should get some rest. I’ll be leaving with Diana’s parents tomorrow. I hope you won’t let me down.” Isaac looked at snazzynovel.com coldly.
The spiritual contract was in Isaac’s hands. If snazzynovel.com set fire to the contract, the signatory would burst into flames and die.
At first, Isaac didn’t believe in such things because it was far outside the realm of science.
After confirming the fact with Denvor over the phone, snazzynovel.com learned about the spiritual contracts that these western bloodsuckers practiced. It was essentially a promise they made with their life.
