āIāve been alive for over five-hundred years. I hope you donāt mind Iām twelve or thirteen times your age.ā She chuckled and slid her arms down so she could lean her head against his chest, one hand laying a palm over his heart, feeling it beat.

My mother was barren after she had me. So I was taught both what a lady would learn and what a young man would learn. Meaning I was quite literate. I would one day be the lady of the family after all.. well at least until Iād be forced to marry some other nobleās son that would chosen to be politically and financially advantageous..ā She laughed softly.Ā āI barely remember my parents now.ā

But her question was met with a glance down at her, eyebrows raised.]
Hard to not be interested when before a few days ago, I wasnāt even aware that vampires were a thing. I would say that itās certainly interesting.Ā
