CHAPTER THREE

After the meal and during the walk, Sebastian saw the little one yawning tiredly and realised it was time for him to sleep so he took him back to the room and laid him down on the bed that has already been prepared.

Seeing the little one entering dreamland, he turned preparing to switch off the light, close the door and leave when he suddenly felt the tail of his jacket being pulled although the force used is extremely negligible, he still turned towards the bed again but saw the eyes of the little one closed and his breathing becoming longer and longer so, he turned his head slightly to see the little one's hand on his tail jacket which means he didn't imagine it.

He hesitated for a bit before bending down closer to the bed and spoke quietly in a hushed tone, "young master, what might I do for you?"

He waited a bit more and when he didn't hear an answer, he stood up preparing to remove the little one's hand from his tail jacket and back into the bedsheets when he suddenly heard an even quieter soft voice laced with sleep and if not for his vampire hearing which is very acute, this voice would have been missed.

" Can I have daddy for my birthday?" When Sebastian heard this question, he froze and didn't know how to answer him because even he doesn't know what is happening to his master! and he really wanted to fulfil the little one's wishes.

Bending down again, Sebastian promised when he knew he shouldn't "yes, young master"

Outside, Sebastian leaned against the closed door with his eyes closed trying to think of a way to have his promise to the little one fulfilled without problems occurring.

"It is time to talk to the master" he murmured to himself before leaving the closed door and walking down the stair then turning right to walk deeper into the darkness and finally disappearing into it.

****

Outside a painted black door, Sebastian appeared out from the darkness and knocked once but very quietly and the door opened by itself ushering him in.

Inside the room which is covered in pure darkness with no light in sight not that it is needed due to their eyes being sharper as shadow creatures.

Sebastian bowed deeply calling "sire" which is a sign of respect to their king and is a part of their culture ingrained into them

Minute passed without standing up from his bowing position when he heard a deep magnetic voice, "what is it?"

Sebastian raised his head before starting his report, "the child is growing faster than we thought. His intelligence and emotion intelligence is becoming higher and higher as the day goes by along with his musical talent" he must do this everyday, report everything that associates with the child to his sire even though he refused to appear before the child although Sebastian always felt his master's presence near the little one's music room every time the little one plays.

Reaching the time that he has to leave after the report, Sebastian hesitated for a bit but didn't get up and leave immediately as usual which made the voice ask, "anything else?"

"Yes, my sire"

"Oh, what is it?"

"The child asks for your presence as his fifth birthday gift" Sebastian said it all at once without missing a bit and the voice went silent making Sebastian think he has failed and trying to come up with another way to have his promise fulfilled when he suddenly heard the voice reply but softly this time.

"I cannot appear" when Sebastian heard this word as a reply, 'fear' was what he read from it which is puzzling him, 'is the lord afraid?' he thought

"My lord, why? if I may be presumptuous" Sebastian wishes that his sire answers him so he can use this to find a way to have his promise fulfilled.

I am afraid I will hurt him" although Sebastian wanted his lord to answer him and when he really did, Sebastian froze in his kneeling position with his eyes in a widened state of amazement.

Although his body is in that state, his mind is swirling all over the place making waves, 'his lord is afraid, afraid!'

'impossible! His most revered powerful lord is afraid! This is just impossible!' Sebastian feels that the world has turned upside down and he doesn't know who he is anymore!

'No, no, no, lets recap, I must have heard wrong.... but the lord just said it, so, it can't be wrong! So, lets try asking why?'

"l-lord, why? You are extremely powerful so; you can control it no?"

"Good question yet, here am I unable to be close to my beloved in case he dies again!" the voice said with sadness lacing his tone.

"Beloved? Dies again?" Sebastian asked the voice because he just can't put it together!

"You are one of my most loyal subject along with people of this mansion. Which is why you were put in charge of looking after him so, I will tell you why so you can find a way to dissuade him from asking for me until he grows up"

Still confused, Sebastian answered, "yes sire"

"He is the soul of my love"

!boom!
