Episode 4

LAURA:

With Lidia's help, I choose a dress that is quite comfortable and beautiful, which I really like.

"Lidia."

"Yes, my lady."

"I want you to put the mirror in my room."

The woman looks at me, not very convinced.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

I reply as I observe all my beautiful attributes in the mirror... Heavens, what firm breasts...

My thoughts take me to the memories of this body, and the real Laura Petro hated looking in a mirror because she felt ugly and "dirty" for having consummated the marriage with her husband while her heart loved Baron Harrison... How stupid she was. How could she waste such a hunk?

"But don't worry, Laura Petro... I will enjoy it for you."

A smile forms on my lips as I look at myself in the mirror.

"No, I'm ready, we can go."

Lidia nods, and we both leave the room.

"The maids will take care of packing, what do you think, my lady? I know you don't like people touching your things, but..."

"Don't worry, they can do it."

She just nods and doesn't say anything until we get to the dining room.

The children, whose names according to my memories are Albert and Mia, look at me with displeasure while frowning, but I don't care when my eyes look at my vampire husband... I wonder if he burns in the sun?

I curtsy according to protocol and sit next to him, feeling his rich masculine scent... Mmm.

An awkward silence forms at the table, but that doesn't bother me; I'm used to those types of situations, and nothing will steal the peace I have.

Breakfast arrives, and like last night, it is a delicious treat which I devour carefully until I hear my stepdaughter's little voice.

"Daddy, I want blood."

She says and gives me a malicious look.

"Mia, I've told you that it is forbidden to drink blood in front of the Duchess."

"But I want blood, Daddy!"

The girl's voice is almost tearful, and I look at her with a sigh.

"Don't worry about me; you can eat and drink whatever you like."

I mention as I eat a delicious fruit that I have never seen before.

My handsome husband looks at me for a few seconds, hesitating, and then signals to one of the servants.

A few seconds later, a maid arrives with a silver cup and hands it to the spoiled and bratty girl. She's only spared because I haven't adapted well to this strange world, but she'll see.

The brat with a bright smile takes the cup in her hands and begins to drink, letting a thread of blood run down her lips.

Without expression on my face, I drink a delicious juice and raise my eyebrows. Does she think I'm going to vomit like this old body used to do? Hahaha, she can eat shit for all I care.

After finishing the juice, I clear my throat and look at the girl fixedly.

"When we get back from the trip, I'll talk to the etiquette teacher to increase the hours of class... It's not possible for a noble lady to drink liquid in that way... It's unacceptable."

The girl's eyes widen.

"More hours? No, that lady is very mean."

"It's not up for discussion."

Delicately, I get up from my seat and look at the girl with a smile.

"It's notable that you need manners... I'll call your nanny to give you another bath... This time it will be with cold water, we don't have time to heat water; we're running late."

"Daddy!"

The girl shrieks, and I look at the vampire fixedly. He just looks at me, and with a sigh, he gets up from his seat.

"Your mother is right, Mia. I hope that next time you analyze well what you are going to do."

The vampire leaves after saying that, and I do the same, approaching Lidia.

"Find the children's nanny."

"Yes, my lady."

VICTOR CORTES:

I walk towards my office, and upon entering, I find Adrian Morten, my second in command, faithful and loyal.

"Mr. Cortes, everything is ready."

He says, and I nod as I walk towards my velvet sofa, very thoughtful... Could it be that Laura is different? Or is it just my perception? I felt like a child when her eyes looked at me fixedly.

"Are you alright, sir?"

Adrian asks.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Has the Duchess thrown another of her tantrums?"

He asks curiously, and I deny.

"She has taken it well; she hasn't done anything."

"Are you sure? The Duchess doesn't like to leave the four walls of her room. Are you sure she has taken it well?"

"Yes, I think so... Although she has acted very strange..."

Adrian raises his eyebrows.

"I have to see it to believe it."

I raise my gaze and look at him fixedly.

"Do you doubt my words?"

"No, never, sir."

He says, standing straight, and I sigh.

"I will go see that everything is in order."

I get up and leave the room to go check the carriages and give some orders to my men, but I stop and immediately hide in a corner when I see the Duchess coming down the stairs with a bright smile while holding her breasts with both hands.

"The only thing I can't stand is having my hairy parts... I think I'll have to find a razor and cut that bush... I doubt they have razors here."

She whispers very low, but thanks to being a vampire, I can hear her clearly.

"How will my hunk like them? With hair or without hair?"

I furrow my brow, not understanding what she is saying.

"Spying on your wife? That's not normal for you."

I glare at Adrian and leave by another path, ignoring what he says.
