I glanced at them but didn't pay much attention. They were sent by my parents. They were probably there to persuade me to break up with Martin or leave this place and return to my own territory.

Ignoring them, I headed toward the blood pool.

"Your Highness, please come back with us," Kevin and Casey followed closely behind me.

"I'm not going back." I leisurely stepped into the blood pool, lying down as cracks appeared on my face, revealing my crimson eyes as I savored the rich scent of blood.

"Are Darl's people here again?" I casually asked while pulling someone who was soaking at the edge of the blood pool and biting into his neck without hesitation to drink deeply.

Kevin and Casey kept their heads down in silence.

I chuckled softly.

Why should I go back when no one was causing trouble? I had found my beloved. I wanted to be with him fully.

Darl had caused me trouble several times before, but each time he failed miserably. He simply overestimated himself.

After sending Kevin and Casey away, I continued living my carefree life.

For many days now, I've only appeared at night. This situation left me unsure how to explain things to Martin.
