My Pillow

Chapter 13

[Morning]

**Argg What the hell? ----Why the hell my body hurts? ***

Muriel just woke up and was surprise because luca is sleeping beside her. They didn't switch any sleeping position at all. Muriel was still hugging luca while luca's arm is still her pillow.

***WHAAAAATT?? Why is he here????****

***Didn't I tell him to leave when I'm asleep already??****

Luca slept so soundly because he didn't sleep for almost 3days just to take care of Muriel. She then touches Luca's nose with her fingers and murmur.

"Why do you look like an angel when you sleep?"

She then remembers the scene where luca saved her and smiled because It feels like in fairytail wherein her hero came to her rescue.

***Thank you so much Luca... I don't know how I can repay you after everything that happened... ***

She then wanted to kiss luca on his cheeks before getting up but she suddenly stops halfway through because she remembered princess Hannah kissing luca and it made her feel jealous again. She murmured quietly with a pouting face.

"Why did you even let that girl kiss you?? You stupid luca!"

She then wiped luca's face with her hands but only on the spot where princess Hannah kissed.

**There, there it's all clean now***

She then kisses Luca's cheeks and blushed so hard. She was relieved that luca didn't wake up from the kiss so she kisses him again on his forehead and smiled so wide. She then got up and left to cook him any food.

When Muriel left, Luca was blushing so hard that his face was red. Muriel didn't know that all this time Luca was awake and heard everything. He covered his face with Muriel pillow but he can't still stop thinking of her because the pillow smells like Muriel.

**Ahh sh*t! Am I going crazy??? Why did she kiss me like that???***

Muriel's smile kept on replaying on his mind but suddenly it stops because his pigeon came with a letter from Minister Hunter.

Dear Emperor Grantt,

I'm sending this letter to you just to report that all countries have successfully allied with us not just for the mean time but for life time. They received all of the fish rations from our fish breeding ocean just like what you wanted and it gained you a lot of popularity not just from monster countries but also from human countries.

Several humans wanted to be on the list of your marriage candidates and all of the ladies will soon be judge by the council next year. In regards to the sea monsters, the 5 most dangerous monsters are the only monsters left that are not yet hunted by our Generals.

Most importantly, I hope you could come on the founding anniversary of the empire just for a day, your majesty.

Yours Truly,

Minister Hunter

Luca smiled on the good news that Hunter said.

"I'll think about it my little brother Hahaha"

He suddenly heard Muriel shouting

"WHAAAATTTTTT?????!!"

He then turned the letter to ashes and got up to check what's the noise outside.

[Kitchen]

Muriel was holding a knife preparing to cook again for the 8th time.

"STOOOPPP!! Don't move and just sit there!"

"Pleaaasseee Emy?? Just one last chance?? I just want to cook luca some fish."

"NOOO!! That's enough! You have already burned a week of fish supply in our fridge!!"

"B..B..Butt Emyyy----"

"No buts!!! I don't want to waste food that brother Luca hunted!!"

"Why are you so mean to me? Huhu I just wanted to thank luca for saving me huhuhu"

"Then don't cook and find something else to give him as thanks!!"

"NOO!! I want to cook him some delicious foods because they said a way to a man's heart is through his stomach!"

Emy was shock because it is only done when you love someone.

"Are you in love with brother Luca?"

Muriel was shocked and blushed.

"WHA..WHAT are you saying all of a sudden Emy???"

"Well because for your information! That phrase is only done by a woman who wants to make a man fall in love with her too!"

"WHAAAAAAATTTTT??????!!!"

Her face turned to red and she accidentally cut her fingers slightly.

"Argg!"

"Heyy!! Careful!! I told you so! Just sit there and I'll cook for you sister Muriel! "

"No, I'm fine... I'll just help you in some small stuffs instead."

Jay suddenly came in to check what happened.

"Hey, what happened? Are you guys okay?"

"Ye..Yeah Jay! I just got a small cut that's it."

Emy immediately looked for the first aid kit. Luca then came in.

"What's the matter with you guys? Why are you so noisy? ---- "

He stopped talking and immediately notice that Muriel's finger has a cut and is bleeding. He immediately run towards Muriel and held her hand.

"What happen to your hands? Does it hurt?"

Muriel was so shocked because Luca's face is so caring.

"N..No.. I'm fine... It's just a small cut... I just want to help Emy cook this time then I lose focus hehe."

"Tsk! You should be careful next time!"

Luca was about to cast his healing powers but Emy stopped him with a threatening look.

"DON'T YOU EVER DARE TO USE YOUR HEALING POWERS BROTHER LUCAAA!!!!"

"B..But why Emy??"

"Well as you know! We are in the capital of Nether! And they got a magic ball as an indicator that a magic was used in a certain area! And if your magic will alert that ball, then you will be interrogated like a criminal inside the underground palace!"

Jay then calmed down Emy and said

"There, there my baby don't get angry. Well, you know luca, Emy's right. Unlike before that we are outside the capital you could freely use it, but here you can't. You'll be a threat to the country if you use it."

Luca then understood and said

"I see, well then, excuse me Mui."

Emy and Jay was extremely shocked because Luca suddenly put Muriel's fingers in his mouth and licks the blood in it.

"There you go Mui"

Mui's face turned red. She didn't expect that Luca will lick her fingers and even put it in his mouth to suck the blood. There was a tickling sensation so Muriel suddenly felt a slight arouse.

"W...Wha..What are you doing to my fingers?"

"Well, you know Mui, that's how it supposed to do to heal it in a human way, am I right Emy?"

When Luca looked at Emy and Jay, Jay was already covering Emy's eyes.

"A...Ah right! I forgot! I still have something to do and I need your help my baby!"

Jay left carrying Emy immediately. When Luca glance at Muriel, He saw her blushing face and it made his heart skip a beat. He swallowed a big portion of his saliva and Muriel shyly said

"G..Go on.. Heal me in a human way."

Luca was tempted on how Muriel acted. So, he continues licking and sucking Muriel's injured finger. He didn't even realize that his vampiric blood is already boiling that it made his fangs come out.

Muriel saw that his eyes turned red and cute fangs suddenly appeared. She wasn't afraid because vampires are friends with mermaids.

"So, are you a vampire?"

Luca then hides his face to cover his eyes and fangs and said

"Are you afraid of me now?"

Muriel saw how cute Luca was because his face was blushing and his ears are all red. She then leans her forehead on Luca's forehead and gently held Luca's face. She looked him in the eye and said.

"I'm not afraid of who you are Luca."

"Then, what are you afraid of Mui?"

Muriel paused for a moment and said

"I'm afraid of the thought of----"

"Of what?"

Muriel blushed and shyly said

"Of losing you..."
