The king burst in laughter bend down holding his stomach and he even hit the table while wave after wave of laughter "lub-DUB, lub-DUB, lub-DUB sickness"… he laugh louder again he even has tears in his eyes "von Falcon there's no laughing matter here" I reprimanded the unruly King…
Oh! There is! The A lub-DUB, lub-DUB, lub-DUB sickness… Renato answer me with a poker face…" Roman if you're pulling an act you don't need to pretend that your sick…
"Renee" I sigh ignore the laughing gorilla beside me… "I am not joking" I heard this lub-DUB, lub-DUB, lub-DUB sound coming from my right chest… I felt my heart beat after two thousands year… and then its stop beating again..
Renato wave his hand and a stethoscope appear and my records, "Romanov von Holsten, Vampire years- 2325 years old, blood type -B superior, Tittle- Archduke, Status : -Virgin... he read loudly… I want to dig a hole for myself and hide in… why I ever came here… " An Antique Virgin" Renato commented….
Again the gorilla laugh more when he hear the word virgin…" Romanov hibernate more" the crown of Antique Virgin is yours exclusively"…hahahaha…. Hahahah…🤣
"Antique" you two got guts to call me antique when both of you are pre-historic…I shake my head in irritation…
" Romanov when I become vampire I am no longer a virgin...🙄... Imagine at 25 your still a virgin... 🤣... I look at Renato...
What! Don't look at me... I was a parish priest when he abduct me... ¯\(°_o)/¯
(⏒_⏒)...
"Can I have my check-up now Renee? I ask in a helpless voice…"
"Yheap! Take a deep breath Roman" Renee requested… and so I did… he use the stethoscope to check my chest my pulse in right wrist…" yes there's there new blood in your body, a sign that your heart beaten for a few minutes…
(⁰_⁰)…. The king…
"And your diagnosis Renee?.. waited patiently for his answer…
"Did you get laid?"
(⁰_⁰)…
The king… Hahahahah.. hahha. Hahaha… he destroyed the table with his hand… 🤣 then when he has his control back he wave his hand and the table was restore to its original state… Romanov wave his hand and new set of tea pot & sweets appear
"No!! I did not… I just woke up two days ago… I denied… what the effing thing is this…I am started to have a headache (if that possible)
"Only when you're doing the deed can you feel your heart beat… that's for vampire… said Renato wave his hands and record and the stethoscope disappear… he resume on drinking his tea… the unruly King munching on the sweet…" or maybe you have found your other half!" He unconsciously said,… the King choke on his food when he hears that…
"Your fated one?"…. we are not in fairy tale Renee… King seriously said… "Maybe Romanov is just sexually frustrated… and put his hand on Romanov right shoulder" Brother you need to graduate… I know a lady who has the shot for you… he said seriously…
"I decline!.. I had enough of this guy…. I will go home now…
Before I voice out my parting word the door was open again the female knight/ royal tutor Cholita "Holi" von Tranbel came in. and give a Knight solute to the king and to me, but a cold greeting to Renato…" Your Majesty it's time for your meeting with the elder's… the King don't have a choice but to go and be bore to dead in listening to the nonsense debate of the elders… when the royal eremite left I bid my goodbye to Renato.
He sees me at the door and said" If you're afraid of this new experience after two thousands of years, just accept it… learn for it… I stood still and look at him, "you met someone that makes you seek me thinking it was a sickness" I nod slowly…. He sigh… How old he She?
"She is just a child Renee, an eight year old"… why now... after all I gave up on love and family a long time ago….I confusedly confide with him, for me Renato is like an elder brother he's the one who guided the Von Holstein on how to survive… Respect him as my elder… my feelings are all in chaos, "I am lost Renee!, I don't know on how to face her… I feel like I am robbing her of her youth, her life… I really don't know what to do! I don't want to entertain this feelings!...
Renee smile at me & said" They say if you're fated to be together… you're fated to be together… "my brother just go with the flow for now if she has the same feelings for you, when she is old enough, then she's your, don't think for now… he put his hand on my right shoulder and pat me… just let it go, time is your friend, you got choices weather to look after her now, nurture her feeling and take her by force when she's old enough or let her voluntary fall for you, let nature take its course… is up to you… I nodded my head… he's right… I bid him goodbye.
Renee… still standing near the door, when he heard a voice" you're good at instructing someone but bad at following them yourself"… Cholita "Holi" von Tranbel move out of her hiding place… and she look at Renato… Renato's heart start to beat faster and faster… when are you gonna follow your heart Renato?... are you just gonna let me go like this without even trying?
I…I! Renato don't know what to say… he open is mouth and close it(he look like a fish) and look down, turn his back at Holi and ready to leave.
"You're so unfair Renato!... Holi voice quaver… This will be the last time that I will bother you… Goodbye Lord Renato Mendoza… and she turn around and left without turning back.
Renato turn to look at her departing back… He wanted to call her name but no voice come out of his mouth…"Holi was his fated one… But because of his low birth, he never claim her… (She is better off without him) he is aging rapidly, he was only half vampire & human… He don't want to taint her of his low birth, or laugh at by the society of vampire… Half-blood are called Humpire or dirty blood.

At La Malvar Minor,
Margaret was having dinner with her only aunt Elizabeth Rees Malvar, she was trouble by the outcome of her visit to the von Holstein… her future husband run away again…
"Margie!" Her aunt call her… "You look trouble"...she look up to see her aunt concern look
"Aunt Eliza… I have found my other half" I told her straight… and awaited for her reaction.
"What is he?... she put down her tableware and focus on me..
"Vampire"
"Ok"… pick up her tableware and resume eating again" Which Clan?"
"Are you not worried?... von Holstein…. And munch on my carrots…
Oh! Von Holstein…" Ok…
(-_-)…. (that's all, no more reaction)… Aunt, what do you think?
"If he's human… I'll be worried, that I will be given the responsibility as the Head!...munch again, she's more worried if my fated is human… unbelievable…"…"
Why?... I am getting depressed
"In our low, if your fated is not human you can still continue to be the head"…she nonchalantly explain while still savoring her dinner, it just like a normal topic…"law and regulation article 1500… title Fated" she smile at me brightly(she like cheering for me to commit a crime) gives me the shiver … "Margie is nice if you're to be a married to a vampire, coz they are immortal, so the title head will be given to your Humpare daughter to rule for a hundreds of years… she hold her both hands and smile delightedly with the idea running on head…
(⁰₀⁰)…. There's such an article in Malvar,.. I am shock I read all article and but I never seen that article… I need to go the library and check it out… is not that I don't believe my aunt but to see is to believe,
"Ana" my aunt called her maid… Ana approach my Aunt… "Get the book revised article in my room, Margie needs to refresh her memory" Ana obey and went to retrieve the book… "I think what you memorize is the old article"… my aunt declare…
"We got new article?" oh! Well that I do not know that we got revised article.
"yes! Its has 2000 new low and regulation…
"hmmm! 2000 only… "ok,,
"No! 2000 new additional so all in all we got 5000 article to be memorize….
(-_-)… are you kidding me…
On that very night I Margaret devise a plan (Fated-nurture-feelings) step by step plan… but her Aunt wipe it clean… with a reason…" why plan like this? When you can torture – rather court him every day. Elizabeth will help her niece to capture that vampire she was fated with hook or by crook...
(A certain vampire felt shivers creeping on his whole body, starting from his toes up to the head…. He keep on looking behind him for suspicious person or creature…. He really have a bad feeling about this…)
So on that same night the Malvar Ladies connive and plan on how to torture-ahem- court the fated one (Operation take him by force by torture). Her aunt told her that "if someone being torture- rather- courted doesn't respond to a soft approach, then take him by force…. then do it the hard way…. Let see if he can resist the Malvar-way-of-courting"…her aunt has a sinister look in her eyes…Ho ho ho… (Aunt you sound like an evil incarnate)
On the next day Margaret visit again the house of von Holstein to tortu- court his future husband(start the operation)… Romanov runaway again. This occurrence everyday was became a normal phenomenon for the house help of the von Holstein, they even help the little lady to court the Lord, and ruin the plan cycle of Romanov for his hibernation. He was afraid that he will be violated if he put his guard down around Margaret… he was almost violated by Margaret when she turned fifteen, he tried to go for his hibernation but failed. In his frustration he run away from home and find shelter in Renato's place. But he could not lasted longer because of the King harassment & he's missing Margaret, so he return back after a month and Margaret started again her courting & it become a game of hide and seek but he was always caught. She became the shadow of Archduke Romanov von Holstein for twelve years, he was courted (torture) none-stop every day with the help of his sister & house help… So the antique virgin was put into test of perseverance for twelve years.
On a particular day Margaret turn 19 years of age, she propose the Romanov, but Romanov couldn't bring himself to accept the proposal he was the Man… he was planning to court Margaret properly now that she's 19. He went out to find a suitable present for Margaret coming of age but he cannot decide on what to give, it lasted for 3 days the gift searching.
Satin tried to console Margaret in her heartache" I tried everything for him to like me & eventually fall for me but he always run away" her cries and complaint are unbearable so Satin decide to visit Renato for help…
Santina went straight to Renato's place, he found Renato in the garden removing dead leaves…" Brother Renee… how are you, it's been a long time… and smile sweetly to Renato.
"Little sister, it's good to see you!" Renato always treated Santina as his little sister, he like this mischievous girl. What bring you here on my humble adobe "he even bow from the waist.
Santina laugh at the antics of his bother Renee," I am looking for my brother! Is he here?
"Nope! I haven't seen him!.. why? Confuse… why is Romanov is missing when he decided to properly court Margaret…
"He haven't went home for two days! She told him the issue regarding his brother… Renee laugh at the situation Romanov is into…
'Brother Renee can you help me acquire a aphrodisiacs potion?"…. She shyly ask… turning white in embarrassment…
Renato laugh and grin at her … hmmm… what are you gonna do with it?... use it against me? He tease.
No!... No definitely not ! even shake her head like a rattle toy… "Sister Holi will fry me alive… then she laugh… (-_-)
Silly…just the mentioned the name Holi his heart beat again…. "Fine! I will give you the potion"… "Anyway Margaret is ripe enough, let your brother graduate from being the antique virgin"… Santina laugh a loud, and blush…

Satin went to see Margaret at the Malvar Minor, she meet Elizabeth,,," my apologies for being here un-announce… Elizabeth smile at me and ask me to sit, she arrange for our refreshment, the Malvar Minor is elegant as the façade outside, very homely and as I notice the mansion has too many restriction spell, flowery scent is on the air that it aid to relax one body, as expected of the White withes.
"Margie will be down any minute"… me and Elizabeth we hit it off… we talk about a lot of things, then Margaret appear in front of us with swollen red eyes, the girl spend her time crying… she seated on my left side, and help herself with tea, without saying anything I place the potion in front of her… she stare at it and look at me with question on her lovely face, I gave her my sweetest smile.
"Aphrodisiac potion for vampire" and I take a sip of my tea… Margaret & Elizabeth stare at me with open mouth 😲 " So will you take it or you already given up, I question her why sipping my tea… Oh this tea is great…." Elizabeth where you got this tea leaves?... inquire… and Elizabeth face lift-up…
"They come from my garden, I have a greenhouse at the back" she beam and start talking about her greenhouse. We talk and talk about the variety of tea leaves. Them we heard Margaret saying that she haven't given up on my brother.
So on that fine day a vampire and two witched schemes together…

Sanguis Basilicae
Romanov, was restless for some reason, he just got back from choosing a present for Margaret. He keep on looking behind him feeling that any moment someone will attack him. He went to his office and start reading the reports from Michael, there was an attacked of rouge vampire in the town nearby and one of our butler Donatello is hunting them. Seem like the rouge are getting restless, unhappy with the way the society of vampire interact with other species… The talk about supremacy drive them to rebel. The King of vampires never taken the leader of the rouge seriously. He believe on equality, Human, Vampire, Werewolf, and other species are all the same. There will be a time when all species will walk as one.
Hmmm!! It seem like Margaret is not coming today, it pass here visiting time, anyway I will visit her tonight and properly court her, thinking about him courting the unruly girl made him smile, (" I can't wait to see her surprise face, what will be her reaction" I can't wait to see her) then a knock was heard" Come in" door open and my sister appear carrying a try of refreshment " Brother welcome back" come let share this newly discovered tea"… she place it on the table near the window…. I sand up from my seat and stride forward the table I can smell the aroma coming from the tea then I seated opposite her, she serve me the tea and some sweets... I sample the tea, it taste different from the one we usually have, it's has a calming effects… I place my cup down and look at expecting sister for my reaction and comment, " So what do you think of this new tea?
"Not bad" he sip again and savor the tea… it has a calming effects, the taste is nice also…. He nod his head while he numerate his comments, he takes a second cup, he was so cough-up with the flavor of the tea that he fail to notice the mysterious smile of his sister… then darkness…
I was awaken with the burning sensation in my body…burning sensation??...uhhh!!! vampire body are cold as ice normally… why am I burning its quite uncomfortable I started removing my cloth, a cold hand help me with the buttons, the hand feel so nice in my burning skin..(touch me more please)… the hand stop when reaching my trousers..(NO!! go on)… the hand touch my shoulder helping me to peel off my shirt… I panted with the sensation assaulted me , a moan escape my lips…(darn that's feel so good) then I slowly open my eyes… uhhh!!! Margaret!!! Then I was raped by Margaret…
All my plan when out of the drain….
