Episode 8

Last time

Nile looked at the sleeping wolf and turned on his side, now having Cilio cuddle into his strong broad chest. He wrapped his arms around Cilio and brought him closer. He caressed Cilio's long white and blue hair gently. His eyes staring at the painting before him.

In the painting, a man dressed in all white stood in the middle of a lake. Snow covered scenery surrounded the man. Nile eyes looked back down at Cilio and noticed the scrunched up nose. 'Cute' he thought to himself. He closed his eyes, letting sleep finally take him.

Zohar woke up with a pair of red eyes staring into his eyes. He yelped and snarled immediately afterwards. "Bloody Christ, what you do that for?" Sirius laughed before walking towards the closed curtains, opening them and earning a hiss from Zohar.

"It's time to get up, puppy boy~." He flamboyantly spoke out. He walked back to Zohar and crouched down. A goofy smile spread wide across his pale face. "It's your first day as my personal attendant and here you are sleeping away. It's no fun." Zohar deadpanned before glaring at the count.

"You act so cheery towards a man who's home you destroyed and who's people you have slain." Zohar stated with malice. He was both mentally and physically drained from everything that had happened. Sirius frowned before getting up. "You hold onto things that should be let go off."

Zohar snarled at that statement. How dare this man suggest letting go off what had happened to his people, and dare suggest it so flippantly. He's the reason he would no see the faces of his friends every again. Enjoy the festivities that Larmino had to offer.

"Count Sirius Alucard Romanov, I don't think you know just how much your order caused me suffering. To suggest I let go off what happened almost equates to you asking for my forgiveness." Sirius let out a boastful laugh.

"And you Zohar Amel thinking that I am asking you for forgiveness is almost a funny as the death of your people. What makes you think I'm sorry? I truly appreciate the optimism you have to believe that I'll ask for forgiveness, but you're wrong." He paused, crouching once more in front of Zohar.

"The reason I tell you to let go is because your sour attitude completely ruins my day." Zohar's eyes turned wide and he gasped. He was a monster's personal attendant and he was to obey every order. He sighed before looking up at Sirius.

He placed a hand where the Count's heart was located. The count looked at him confused. "One day I'll drive a silver blade through here and watch as you squeal in pain. That's how much I truly detest you." Sirius's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that his own attendant had so openly conspired to kill him.

This was new for sure

"Would actually believe the cheek of that kid. He's bloody crazy I tell ya!" Nile looked amused at the outburst. It was the first time in ages that he had scene Sirius so riled up.

"I think this ought to be good for you Sirius. You need someone to keep you on your toes and if he's openly stated that he'll drive a dagger through you, he's serious." The count huffed and puffed like a toddler. "What did I do to deserve this?" "I don't know, kill his entire clan and proceed to reduce his home to ashes and then make him your personal slave. You tell me."

Sirius rolled his eyes before turning serious."Now enough about Zohar, what are we going to do about Grand Sieliah." Nile placed an arm behind his head. "By the looks of things, I'm not sure at the moment. Placing an army base at the corner of Calania is incredibly smart and to take control over them will be hard." The count growled, slamming a hand down on the table.

"Humans fucking piss me off." Nile nodded his head in agreement, his mind wondering off to the older wolf who was still fast asleep. He let small smile paint his lips. Sirius did not miss that smile, his own letting slip. He was happy for the advisor. "Is he different from Zohar?" Nile nodded, the conversation from last night playing in his mind. "His voice barely above a whisper and a massive cuddler. He was able to smell you on me too."

"Is that so?" Sirius was amused. Brothers that were nothing a like, what an interesting fact. "Speaking of brothers, have you received a message from yours Sirius." The count truly didn't want to have this conversation. His older brother was a sensitive topic, and a topic he didn't want to dive into.

"Nope, and quite frankly, I don't care for one. He decided to get disowned and leave without thinking about me. In return for his kind gesture, I won't think about him." His icy cold tone showed Nile just how much the Count's older brother affected the boy. Nile sighed before getting up and walking to his office's makeshift kitchen. He poured two cups of peppermint tea.

He placed a cup in front of Sirius. "Well he sent a message to me. He'll be arriving first thing at dawn. According to your father his disownment was revoked." Sirius choked on the hot tea and stared at Nile with wide eyes.

"Shove your dick in a piping hot pot, your kidding." Sirius couldn't believe his ears. "It's been 50 years since I've seen him, what would be his business coming here now?" He was getting agitated. "His come here because the elder requested for it, plus his banishment was revolved."

Great just great.

The sun set gave the sky an amazing scenery. The wind breeze was just the right temperature. One the sea, a cream and golden coloured cruise ship sailed. The sail gently moving. The crewmen carried out their roles in silent, some whistling a small tune. Near the steering wheel of the ship a tall lean muscled male was looking through a telescope.

He had a long black tail coat with a white cotton undershirt. Two swords strapped to his side. His long silver hair with black highlights let down and flowing in the breeze with a bunch of hair placed on each shoulder, his fringe clipped back in place and his perfect hairline giving his that extra definition . He had plump cherry lips and narrow crimson red eyes. His pale cheeks and nose painted with a hint of red. He has a gold chain around his neck and a golden X shaped earring on his left ear.

He was tall, 6'5 in height. He shortened the telescope and looked at his advisor next to him. He was golden honey skinned and had long white hair. His eyes were turquoise and large. He stood at 6'5 too and was had more muscle than the pale man next to him. He wore a golden and blue suit with a white fur coat over it. "We're not far from home, Miguel." The pale man spoke, his voice seductively deep but gentle. The advisor looked at the man before smiling.

"I guess we aren't...Kornelio."
