My Master's Sweetest Blood
Chapter 5: Relationship
After a good rest, I began to perform my duties once again.
However, what was unusual was that although he seemed to hold hatred towards me, the boy followed me around almost everywhere.
Apparently, once a contract is in place, the Cursed will have a strong drive to protect their Master.
Their Master... it feels wrong to call myself that.
My life isn't worth anymore than his would be.
Sienna Frost
Do you still not want to give me your name?
Sienna Frost
Very well... that's your choice.
Sienna Frost
But you don't want people to keep on calling you 'boy' or 'child', do you?
He stopped, which made me turn around and look at him.
Was he finally going to share his name?
However, he didn't speak.
I simply smiled and gestured towards the grand hall.
Sienna Frost
Here, let's both eat.
As I walked into the hall, the boy was taken aback by how busy it was.
Filled with knights and members of staff, everyone immediately cheered upon seeing me enter.
I did a playful curtsy before gesturing towards an empty place at Commander Blaine's table.
His eyes filled with joy immediately extinguished upon seeing the boy next to me.
The table suddenly felt awkward.
I sighed at the men's immaturity and sat down.
Sienna Frost
What's for lunch?
Justin Blaine
The men came back with a little more than usual from their hunting rounds.
Ashton Smith
A little more than usual?
Ashton Smith
They brought back the whole forest because they wanted their Lady to eat to her heart's content.
Ashton Smith
They are going to disrupt the natural habitat if they continue this way.
I was soon served a plate, and the boy was too.
Maid
That poor boy, he's all skin and bones!
Piling up meat onto the boy's plate, I noticed that he didn't make a move at eating it.
Cursed don't eat meat anymore...
Sienna Frost
Thank you, Hulda.
Maid
You're welcome, My Lady. Good recovery.
As she left, I leaned down towards the boy and smiled.
Sienna Frost
Don't worry, I'll give you some blood later.
Justin Blaine
No, you are NOT.
Justin Blaine
No, what is he's greedy like the last time? You've just recovered.
Ashton Smith
I agree. My Lady, please be mindful of your health.
Sienna Frost
What about his health?
They fell silent, and then I noticed that the rest of the room had as well.
Sienna Frost
Just... eat your food. Please.
They did as they were told, and soon the atmosphere regained its joyful manor.
The boy remained silent by my side while everyone glared at him.
Whispers carried around the room.
"Is that the boy who put our Lady in an unconscious state?"
"That little thing... how pathetic."
"How can he sit there next to My Lady?"
I frowned, my appetite suddenly lost.
Sienna Frost
My goodness, what despicable chatter...
Sienna Frost
Are you soldiers or scullery maids?
The laughter went quiet again, and the soldiers immediately got up and bowed to me, apologising out loud.
Sienna Frost
It isn't me who you should be apologising to.
Sienna Frost
I expect fighters in my ranks, not gossiping maids.
