Chapter 48 - The Creeping ‘Black' and the Red's Past (6)

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“….I’m sorry.”

In the end, when the maid left the room, he muttered those words. If only waiting for his next words, he’s unlikely to say it at all. CPkdQ2

Another silence.

Yuria was the one who broke the awkward atmosphere in the end.

“Raise your head, Cecil. You did this for a reason, didn’t you?”

“Cybea atja….” GDpFPb

It was Vincent who then answered the question while Cecil was still looking for words.

“….Cecil is a dead person who lost his master.”

“Gfjv qfgrbc?”

I asked unconsciously. Aren’t dead person whose blood is sucked by vampiresーーWell, if according to Yuria, they are creatures whose will and feelings are deprived by having a vampire liquid injected into them. Like the maids and servants in this mansion. dG4Dzo

Yuria seemed to think the same thing and opened his eyes wide.

“Really? You said you were a vampire when you introduced yourself….”

“….I’m sorry. At first, I thought you wouldn’t believe me even if I said I was a dead person and most importantly… I thought you wouldn’t accept me if I said it honestly.”

“Then about you getting along well with my uncle in Emile City….” ItOTAK

“I, It’s true! I ate with Hal-san and we go sightseeing together. I’m not lying about being told to be Yuria’s friend!”

“But you have another purpose. I want to hear that.”

“Uh… So, about that, you see….”

Cecil glanced at Vincent. After that, he gripped the hem of his shirt nervously. anjwvc

“To put it simply－ーYuria. I want you to be Cecil’s guardian.”

Vincent answered instead of Cecil who fell silent.

“Guardian….?”

“Yes, dead person don’t have the power of vampires. They are only “humans being” with increased weakness. Initially, dead person had vampires following them. But Cecil has no such thing. If humans find out that he is a dead person, the heresy will soon come to find him and turn him to ashes. Or else he will end up in the church’s research facility.” FAJhpe

“Vincent, wait a minute. I….”

“I’ve been protecting you all this time. But I’m just a human. My lifespan has limit. That’s why I’m looking for a guardian to replace me.”

“I understand.”

When I nodded, I turned my gaze to Cecil, who seemed to have something to say. 2cumKp

“Cecil, is the story Vincent told true?”

“….That’s not a lie.”

“Alright.”

Worried about the timing, he didn’t deny it at all. Rg3I p

Yuria lowered his head thoughtfully for a moment, before frowned apologetically.

“….Cecil, I want to make your wish come true. But… I don’t think I have the power to protect you.”

Sorry for being late again today. I just finished cleaning my house and packing some stuff sobs (´;ㅿ;｀)

I’m sorry if I keep making excuses for my late update (´;ㅿ;｀) KHzYF9
