Chapter 37: Conversation with Aria

Rael frowned a little.

"I know you are a vampire, you told me yourself, so why are you eating meat?"

She chewed slowly and gulped it.

"I like the taste of normal food."

Rael nodded and focused on his food, in the Celestial Realm, Vampires were few and were known to be a notorious bunch.

"Married vampires only drink the blood of their betrothed one, that is one reason why most vampires don't marry. We have too many restrictions."

Rael's interest irked a bit,

"Oh, please do tell me these restrictions."

Aria didn't mean to hide,

"The first being, that once blood bonded, we can only drink the blood of our bonded one, it gives us the most nourishment. In my case that person is you.

Second, once we vampires fall in love, it will be for eternity, only that particular person.

Third, our blood bond can only be with one person, he or she doesn't have to be the loved one but it is preferred to be the loved one."

Rael was listening to everything, to be honest, he wasn't yet in love with Aria, sure she was beautiful, elegant, and seemed like a good woman, but he was still not in love.

"Do you love me?" Rael asked straightforwardly.

Aria looked him in the eye, not letting go of his gaze.

"I-I don't know."

Rael nodded, understanding everything, however, Aria broke his train of thoughts.

"I don't love you yet, but I do feel attraction to you, when I first saw you, I deemed you to be interesting but the little interaction made me want you and only you, no other male in my life, hence I connected you to me with a blood bond."

Rael smiled to which Aria too smiled back, she didn't hesitate to speak her mind.

"The attraction how much ever low it is, it is growing inside me, it's like a flame, growing brighter and brighter."

Rael didn't speak, he ate his food in silence but his ears were fully concentrated on what she was saying.

"Just one look into your eyes makes everything in the world and my life seem to glow. You make me want to see the sunrise every day, to know it's another day where I could have you by my side."

She spoke with a melancholic smile as she clutched his palms with her own, her eyes looked as if they would cry outright at that moment.

Rael froze.

'Yandere?'

Then he shook his head. He may be thinking too much.

Creeping closer to her, he gave her a kissie on her cheek.

"Don't you think that you are already in love with me, kitten?"

"Ah..."

Realization crawled into her, she immediately bolted aback a bit, her face was pink, and her hands couldn't help but start twirling her hair in circles.

She looked a bashful beauty at that moment.

"That was embarrassing." She sighed loudly.

Rael who was chucking instantly stopped laughing.

"No no no! You are misunderstanding, I have never kidnapped anyone ever! Instead, I am the one who got kidnapped."

Aria raised her eyebrows.

"Someone kidnapped me before you?"

Rael nodded.

"Yes. Long time back. Don't ask me more, I do not wish to remember those traumatizing days."

She looked at him distrustfully, Rael sighed at her behavior and coughed.

"Anyway there is another method but it is quite risky because there is a high chance of getting friend-zoned."

She looked at him unimpressed.

"Please do enlighten me."

"If the woman has recently broken her relationship and is drowning in sorrow, offer her comfort."

Her face was becoming cold and stoic every moment he said a word, in order to change the topic Rael spoke.

"By the way, why did you kidnap me yesterday?"

Her facade immediately broke as she started to fiddle with her fingers.

"I was worried, you had many emotions going through our blood bond and I knew that I couldn't lose you."

Realization struck him, "I am assuming you were able to find me through the blood bond."

She nodded.

Rael narrowed his eyes.

"Well anyway I wanted to meet you again so thanks for kidnapping me, I am sure you wanted to use me as a subject of Stockholm syndrome..."

She pouted slightly.

"I do seem to think that it's not me but you who seems to be experienced in kidnapping."

Rael chuckled looking at her and couldn't help but pinch her puffy cheeks.

"Well your plan worked, you can say that it has the same effect on men as it has on women."

Aria blushed, even more, she seemed to be shrinking and becoming a chibi version.

Finally, she broke into a series of giggles while wiping the slight tears from the corner of his eyes.

Rael smiled wryly as he closed his eyes, and his hand slowly went near his plate.

Huh?

He frowned, why did his plate seem empty?

Immediately his eyes opened wide as he looked at Aria who was happily gigging and eating his ham sandwich.

Rael almost fell from his chair as he clutched his chest, it pained!!

He could cough blood at any moment now.

'Why is it always my ham?!?!'
