Chapter 4.2 - Riki and Rika

These two little vampires are twin. The brother, and sister of Rai. Riki Harrison de Haltz, and Rika Harrison de Haltz. From birth, they were given to the Raltz family to be raised.

Within each major family clan, they would only be able to give birth to one child only and it would be a boy. This child will later be elected as the clan leader.

But, for some reason, in the main Haltz family, they were able to give birth to three children. They even gave birth to twin vampires, one of whom was a girl.

Of course, this is a unique case and Harawaltz then took a chance through this case. Harawaltz ended up intervening in the Haltz clan which was once impossible due to the tremendous power they possessed.

The birth of Riki and Rika became a debate and made the Haltz Clan's credibility go down. Inevitably, Rai who is now the leader of the Haltz Clan replacing his dead father, made a decision.

He gave Riki and Rika under an agreement to the Raltz Clan to be raised until they were ten years old, then he would come to pick them up.

However, two years have passed since the agreement ended, Rai did not pick them up at all, until finally, the Raltz Clan sent Riki and Rika back to the Haltz Clan.

"Quickly bring that woman here," Rai ordered Al and ignored the problems of his younger siblings who had returned.

Hearing the word woman, Iki and Ika looked at each other. "Is that woman is Brother Rai's wife?" Ika asked in her mind. "He is married?" Iki asked in his mind too.

Rai also ordered one of his bodyguards to send back the Raltz representative and make sure that the vampire didn't overhear or get any information he shouldn't have.

After the representative left, Al immediately left there and returned not long after. "Rai, I found her," he said, bringing the woman inside.

Rai glared at the woman, "Where did you find her?" he asked Al.

"I found her in the kitchen. She was eating apples there, she seems to be starving because she hasn't eaten anything in three days."

Ika and Iki who were now behind the throne chair wanted to take a closer look at the woman, they finally pushed each other. Their actions disturbed the woman's gaze, she also watched the behavior of the two of them in silence.

"I don't care! Take her to the forest, and kill her there! If Harawaltz finds out there's a human here, this will be a big problem!"

"But-"

"Just take one of the soldiers and tell them to kill her," Rai said knowing that Al would say he couldn't kill a human.

PRANG!

A big sound startled them. Because they kept pushing each other, Ika accidentally bumped into a vase that was on the table. However, that's not all that's surprising.

There was something even more surprising, and that was because the woman who was standing next to Al had moved to where Rika and Riki were to protect them from the falling vase.

"What happened!?" said Rai approaching them with a face showing an angry expression.

Ika did not answer, she just cried in the arms of this strange woman, Ika seemed surprised. Iki was just silent not far from where Ika was crying. He did not move at all.

"Iki! What is this!? Explain to me!" snapped Rai.

The shout made Iki burst into tears. This child was also in a position of surprise, but Rai rather shouted at him. The atmosphere finally became chaotic with the sound of crying that sounded back and forth.

Afraid of Rai, Iki immediately ran to Ika and hugged her. Seeing the two little vampires crying in front of her, made this woman hug them both.

This woman gave Rai a sharp look for making things more chaotic. Rai also returned his sharp gaze. The two of them fought in cold piercing gazes.

A soldier approached them and said something to Rai. "Sorry for my impudence, Your Majesty Harrison. But earlier, when Your Highness Iki and Your Highness Ika were behind the throne, they pushed each other. He pushed too hard, causing her to hit the flower vase," he explained.

Rai was silent, he massaged his head which was getting dizzy. Meanwhile, the cries of the two twin sisters only grew louder. However, suddenly this crying sound stopped.

"Brother Rai..." Ika called and Rai immediately turned around. "Her leg is bleeding," she continued, pointing at the woman's leg.

Fresh blood had flowed quite profusely from this woman's legs, due to several broken flower vases stuck in her legs, causing a fairly deep open wound.

Fortunately, this woman had already been bitten by Rai, so her blood would not invite the hunger of the vampires in this room. But not for Rai.

This woman's blood smelled sweeter than before, making him instantly thirsty. This woman pulled out the shard of the vase that had stuck to her leg, without any grimaces or groans of pain.

This view made all the vampires who were there looked at her shocked. Then she immediately tore off the bottom of her shirt, wrapped it around her leg, and tied it up to stop the bleeding.

Iki felt guilty, he looked at her worriedly, "Sister... Are you okay?" he asked.

This woman stretched out her hand and stroked Iki's head. He nodded and smiled at her. Seeing this, Rai became flabbergasted. Only this time he saw her smile. He thought all this time the woman had no expression at all.

"Rai?" Al woke him from his daydream.

Rai realized, "Ah yes, quickly take this woman to the room and treat her wound," he ordered.

"But you told me to—"

"Hurry up and carry out my orders, Albert," he cut in disapprovingly.

Al looked at Rai in disbelief. For the first time, Rai changed his order, even though he never did that. His command is absolute and cannot be changed. In addition to changing his orders, Rai also let this woman live. How could this happen?!

Al looked at the woman who was just standing still and put her focus on the two little vampires. This woman realizes that she is being watched but she acts ignorant and continues to pretend to be a woman who doesn't know anything.
