I want to live

After the initial shock wore off, Yul and Klaus, even Kristina, insisted on following that man. However, since I kept reassuring them, Noah and Silvia helped me out to convince those three hot-blooded vampires.

"Picnic and a thief. I guess this picnic we had been looking forward to is..."

"No, Yul. We won't cancel the picnic." I forced a smile, facing Yul, whose sarcasm had manifested in him. "Noah is a skilled cook. I mean, yes, he is, but you all need to help him prepare, alright?"

"Really?" Kristina scoffed, gazing at the La Crox. "Your Grace, I'm sorry if I'm overstepping, but this won't work."
