Sung Na-Mi can't see the ghost of the smile on Fu Sheng's face as his back is turned toward her. She fists her hands when he doesn't turn around and shouts, "I will make the blood pact with you, Fu Sheng. In return, you will do everything in order to stop these monsters."
Fu Sheng turns around and says with a low magnetic voice, "Proceed."
She bites her lower lip nervously when his dark gaze falls on her. Her heart skips a beat. It is fair to say that her heart skips every time when she sees handsome and powerful men, but their hearts usually beat rapidly when they hear about her family. But, Fu Sheng's reaction is different. He's not afraid of her or her family. He is even getting her to make a blood pact with him. She's not hoping for anything, but she finds him admiring.
Se-Yong doesn't like what is happening. He can't stop it either because Na-Mi is right. But, he won't let the vampires have the upper hand. "I want to discuss the terms first."
"You are right. We should discuss the terms first." Aiken pushes the glasses on his nose. Se-Yong closes his one eye when Aiken's glasses reflect. Aiken has a wide professional smile that belongs to the lawyers who know how to take advantage of a deal. "Please state your terms first."
"The vampire king will help us in every way possible." Na-Mi states before Se-Yong can ruin things, "The pureblooded king and his people will not act in a threatening manner toward my or my family's safety. He will do his best to trust us. Until we find a way to stop the apocalypse, he will cooperate with us in any way possible. Also, I want access to the old knowledge that you are keeping in your treasury."
"Except for access to the old knowledge, we can accept the other terms." Aiken's plastic smile raise goosebumps in her body. "I can't see how old knowledge can help you during these perilous times. You are not the cultivator of the dark path. That knowledge isn't useful to you, Miss. Sung. Knowing too much is also harmful."
The old knowledge is the knowledge that the purebloods brought from their world when they came here. It's hidden deep in the castle. For now, only Aiken and the King can access it.
"Is that so?" Sung Na-Mi smirks at them. "How about my mother and brothers? I am sure that old knowledge is useful for them."
The girl is trying to act smart. Fu Sheng wants to laugh at her, but he controls himself. "You cannot make a deal on someone's behalf. Then, can you ask for access to the old knowledge on someone's behalf?"
Se-Yong looks at his sister. The old knowledge is useless to her. Even if she has access and gets the knowledge, he's pretty sure that she will be under the vow of secrecy. She won't be able to reveal the knowledge to him or his family. Can't he guess why she is asking for access? She wants to see their castle from inside.
"Then, I want access to the library." She lets out a nervous laugh when Fu Sheng's eyes narrow down on her. They can't guess it, can they? "I heard that the purebloods' castle has a library that contains a copy of all the books that were ever written or published in this world. This is a little personal demand. I am an avid reader."
Avid reader? Se-Yong raises his brow. "Have you read all the books that Father asked you to read?"
"Do you have to open your mouth and utter word?" Na-Mi snaps at him. There's a chance. It's natural that she will grasp it.
"Yo, King." Se-Yong turns toward the King. "I hear that you have a true mate now?"
Fu Sheng frowns at him. "Why do you ask?"
"So, it's true." Se-Yong smiles. "Having a true mate means that you can't ever have another woman, right?"
Na-Mi has the urge to punch his brother. Is it a sin to admire a beautiful man even if he is taken? It's not like she's asking him to date him. There's a difference between admiring and wanting.
Fu Sheng becomes quiet. Why should he bother with answering? The demon knows what true bond means. He doesn't understand why he's asking the obvious.
Se-Yong squints at his sister, telling her with his eyes alone. 'Get that idea out of your head.'
'As if you don't admire taken women!' Na-Mi returns the glare.
"My king can have another woman," Aiken reveals out of nowhere. Since the true mate rejected his king, the bond won't bind his king anymore. He doesn't want strange rumors to spread about his king.
"What did you say?" Na-Mi widens her eyes. "How?"
"Aiken." Fu Sheng growls.
Aiken closes his mouth. He realizes that he shouldn't have said that since his king doesn't want him the outsiders to know. It must be embarrassing for his king that he was rejected by his true mate.
"I don't understand." Se-Yong creases his forehead. "He can have another woman only and only if he was rejected by his true mate. Is there an ultimate fool in this world who would reject a true mate?"
"There is." Aiken blurts out. He flinches when he senses his king's hard stare. He bows his head and mumbles an apology. He's usually cool-headed, but he is agitated because his king has been rejected by his true mate. He doesn't want the people to think that his king is taken since there might be someone who could love his king. Eternity is too long to live alone.
"You are rejected." Se-Yong laughs. "It's no wonder that you are brooding and dark. Who is this person? I want to see her face. She is daring to reject a pureblooded king. I have never heard of this."
"Oppa!" Na-Mi scowls at her brother. Why he is rubbing salt on someone else's wounds?
"Oh..." Se-Yong realizes that it's bad. If the vampire king is rejected and available, then his sister might take a step. He's alone. How will he take care of the vampire king and his eight underlings? His eight brothers aren't here. "We can't make this pact."
The world can go to pieces. He won't let his sister anywhere near the vampire king.
"It's not us." She steps away from him, shifting closer to Fu Sheng. "It's between me and him."
Fu Sheng notices their close proximity. Her hair is tied up into a ponytail. The back of her beautiful and smooth neck is exposed to him. She's so close that he can lean down and bite on that curve of her neck. The girl is daring.
Her scent isn't bad, but it's nothing like Huang Qiuyan's.
He wonders what his idiotic mate is doing now. Did that woman think about him once?
Sung Na-Mi is young. He has sensed her slight interest toward him. However, he has no interest in seeking another woman's companionship. He has never wanted it before meeting Huang Qiuyan. Even if Huang Qiuyan leaves him, he won't take another woman.
He moves away from her with an expressionless face.
Sung Na-Mi smiles at him. "Your Majesty, what are your terms?"
"The Sung Family will never my people." His demands are simple. He doesn't trust the council, but the Sung family is interesting. "You will find a way to lift Fu Mian's curse."
"Fair enough." She bites her finger. "Let's begin."
"Wait, Na-Mi." Se-Yong reaches for her arm, but the circle is already forming beneath their feet. His hand is repelled away by the faint light that surrounds Fu Sheng and Sung Na-Mi. She can't hear her brother anymore. Not bothered about her brother, she flicks her finger toward the circle. The blood drops and the circle turns white. The sky fills with ominous clouds.
He hears her say the same words that she promised him earlier. "I will do everything in my power to lift Fu Mian's curse if the King cooperates with us to stop the apocalypse and redress the world."
Fu Sheng also bites his finger and drops his blood. "I accept."
The blood pact is complete. Na-Mi raises her head and looks straight at him, "Your majesty, your eyes are quite beautiful."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
