Novel Full Chapter 25 - His Skills
Marceline was sitting on her bed with her laptop on her lap while Kira was leaning on the wall just three steps away from her. His arms were folded over his chest but his gaze lingered on her face. The two were looking at each other's eyes.
"Mr. Kira Alaric, please enumerate to me your terms and conditions regarding our deal so that I can include them here in our master-servant contract." Marceline cracked her knuckles as she was getting ready to type their agreement on her laptop.
She was smiling brightly as she was excited about this collaboration. She had never imagined that she would ever encounter a real vampire in this world and in this modern era.
And this vampire was indeed a beautiful creature who was about to work for her. She felt like she just won a lottery because she thought Kira was truly a great deal.
'Hmm, he will be useful in my future plans. I must ensure to get the most out of this deal. Heh,' Marceline thought to herself.
"Do we really need to do that?" Kira asked her, lifting an eyebrow.
"Of course! Our agreement should be put in records! Someone should take responsibility for breaching the contract. I will have this notarized with an attorney to make it legal. You can be punished for breaking our contract," she replied without missing a beat.
Kira just looked at her in amusement. 'Human world has become so weird with their new laws. I haven't heard any of this before. We only do blood compact for such agreements like this one.'
Kira moved from his spot, going to her side. He sat down next to her, taking a peek at her laptop.
"What is this thing?" Kira asked, looking at her with his innocent and clueless eyes.
Marceline frowned in disbelief. "Huh? You don't know this thing? From what era do you belong in?!!" she questioned him exasperatedly.
She couldn't believe that there was still a man living in this world who didn't know computers.
'Oh right! He is not a human but a vampire. But still… that's not a valid reason for him not to recognize this.'
Marceline didn't know that Kira had been sleeping when the human world was developing from the classical age up to the computer age era.
"I was put in a deep sleep for a long time and had just awakened two days ago, that's why I am new to these things," Kira explained to her.
He chose not to mention the years or era he belonged to because he didn't want Marceline to think that he was very old.
Human's lifespan was very short compared to supernatural beings like werewolves, vampires, and witches.
They could live for thousands and millions of years without getting old. They could maintain their youthful beauty as if they were immortals, unlike humans who could die at the age of 100 while looking so old.
"Oh, God! Does it mean I still need to train and teach you about this modern age technology?!" Marceline facepalmed at that thought.
Kira bobbed his head frantically while flashing a charming smile.
'Don't tell me I just picked a stone just to strike my own head?' Marceline glanced at Kira with complicated emotions on her face. 'Damn! No wonder he doesn't even know how to open a simple door!'
"Don't worry, I am a fast learner!" Kira proudly said, reassuring her.
Marceline just shook her head helplessly. She had no choice but to teach him to make him more useful to her.
She couldn't afford to have a bodyguard who didn't know the things here. People might think Kira was weird and dumb.
She would become a laughingstock for hiring that kind of bodyguard! She had a reputation to keep and maintain so Kira must be taught and trained well.
"Alright, before we proceed to your terms and conditions, tell me your skills first. I need to know your strengths..." Marceline sized him up from top to bottom.
'... aside from being super handsome with a perfect body.' she added to her thoughts.
Her lips twitched fighting a smile as she tried to look strict and serious.
"Hmm, my strength," Kira murmured, rubbing his chin as he started to think about his skills.
Marceline waited for his response. She just stared at him, secretly admiring the picturesque view in front of her which was Kira, himself.
It was not long when she finally heard Kira enumerating every skill he could think of.
"I have super strength that no other ordinary human possesses…" Kira started.
Marceline bobbed her head in approval. She witnessed it herself- Kira's super strength and speed. He carried her from the club going back to her mansion as if he was just carrying a sack of cotton.
Aside from that, she saw how he beat up those bulky men in the club. He even broke her doors with just one push.
"I like that skill of yours. You will need that as my bodyguard." Marceline put on a sly smile.
She knew that lots of people were trying to target her. She even received different threats from her enemies and the people she had offended. They hated her so much that they wished for her to vanish in this world.
Aside from those people, she needed Kira's strength in unfolding the truth behind her parents' death. Werewolves were involved. And Kira had the power to fight against those creatures. She would use him for her revenge.
"I can fly and jump so high. I can heal my wounds most especially if I consume blood. Blood is my source of strength."
"Oh, I know that. Don't worry about that. As I promise, I will give you blood supply!"
Marceline was referring to the blood bank. With her influence, she could get blood supply in different blood bank centers and hospitals.
However, Kira was thinking about a different thing as his eyes fell on her exposed neck. Then a devious smile formed from the corner of his lips.
He would love to consume Marceline's sweet blood. He could feel the thrill and excitement just thinking about having another taste of her blood.
'Hmm. I want to bite her neck again although I'm not yet hungry.' Kira licked his lips as he imagined himself sucking her neck once more.
"Tell me more…" Marceline's voice snapped him out of his daydream.
"I can read minds and control people's minds." Kira declared to her.
Marceline hastily turned her head to her side, facing him with eyes wide and mouth loose open.
'What the hell?! He can read and control mind?!! Then… does it mean he can read my mind!!!'
