"You are awake? Tell me about your dream. It might not be bad to listen to your talk every now and then."
"Dreams reflect one's desires. What was your dream about? A prince's kiss, you said?"
Smooch
"You did not expect this? Who do you think I am? A cruel-hearted man who would not even grant a single wish of his livestock?"
"Stop making that face. I am simply stating the truth."
"Of course I know. I am your master after all. I know my livestock in and out."
"Good grief. Keep still. Do not flip over the blanket."
"You want to know what book I am reading?"
"I suppose for women or children a tale from the One Thousand and One Nights is more suitable."
"You should go back to sleep soon. Cover yourself properly with the blanket. Now close your eyes."
"You woke up again? Did I not tell you to sleep? What do you gain from looking at my face?"
"You sure say funny things, calling a man in his pajamas handsome."
"Do not prevent your master from getting his sleep. Understood?"
"Good grief. You are a handful. Come on, stop looking at me. Close your eyes."
"I do not mind embracing you. Hmm... I think I will do that. I will be able to fall asleep faster that way too."
"Haah... You really are a child. You still do not know just how nice it feels to have someone hold you in their arms."
"If you really cannot fall asleep, I do not mind sucking you dry. Then you would be able to sleep soundly, right?"
"Come on, scoot closer."
"You can watch my face to your heart's content again tomorrow. I will be here in the morning. So rest assured and close your eyes."
"Good girl."
"I will get some shut-eye as well..."
"I do not have fun dreams like you, nor do they interest me. But when I look at your adorable sleeping face, I feel like I will be able to have an enjoyable dream."

⚠️SPOILER WARNING⚠️
RELATIVES AND HISTORY
Based on More Blood and Lost Eden
Before Ruki became a vampire, he was a human. Born into an aristocratic family, he lived with a respectable father (name unknown) and a beautiful mother (name unknown) in a manor in a country now known as Romania (Eastern Europe). Growing up surrounded by love and luxury, every day was filled with happiness. Gradually Ruki got tired of these days, slowly and very quietly he was swallowed by darkness. Ruki thought he had everything. All his actions were excused and he was constantly surrounded by servants. He took this for granted. Eventually, he stopped questioning hurting anyone and treated his servants very badly. Disobedience or mistakes were immediately punished by his own hand. Already at this time, Ruki called the people who stood under him "Livestock" and himself "Master".
One day, Ruki woke up and none of his servants had come to spoil him. When he left his room, he noticed that there was a ruckus in the manor. While fighting over the family's belongings, the servants explained to Ruki that his father had failed as a businessman. His mother, who no longer felt love for this kind of man, eloped with her lover, leaving him only a letter. Ruki's father chose the easy way, ended his life and left him alone as an abandoned child.
First Ruki stayed in the manor. But soon thieves seized the opportunity. They stole the last valuable things and destroyed everything. In search of something to eat, Ruki left his home and lived on the street from then on. At some point his will to live disappeared. Suffering from hunger, Ruki just wanted to sleep and preferably never wake up. All lost and abandoned, there was no reason for him to continue living.
But Ruki opened his eyes again in an orphanage. The conditions there were horrible. Malnutrition, abuse and disease were pervasive. On the day of his arrival, Ruki was beaten by the other orphans because of his background. That day Azusa entered Ruki's life and started following him, hoping to be beaten as well if he stayed close to him. At the beginning, Ruki was annoyed and found him creepy. But soon he used Azusa as a pawn and hid behind him to avoid being harmed. After a while, Ruki learned to trust him and they became like brothers. Later the two met Kou and Yuma in the orphanage. Together with his not blood-related brothers Ruki made the decision to escape from the orphanage and thus their personal hell. The four brothers were shot on the run and captured again. As a punishment, Ruki was branded on his back with a fire hook by the owner of the orphanage. Marked like "livestock", he was left to die.
Just before Ruki crossed the bridge of death, Karlheinz showed up. That man offered him to avenge on humanity. With the prospect of a second chance, Ruki agreed and Karlheinz turned him into a vampire and brought him to his new home. Together with his brothers, who also used this opportunity, he lived from then on in Eden (castle in the demon world/Makai). Out of gratitude, Ruki swore eternal loyalty and devotion to his benefactor and accepted the task of taking care of his younger brothers.
Wanting to fulfill Karlheinz's greatest wish and to repay him for the new life that the four brothers were given, they moved to Kaminashi City (Japan) as transfer students to pursue their savior's plan. In order to carry out the "Apple of Eden Project" successfully, Ruki did not shy away from resorting to cruel methods. Being a loyal servant to Karlheinz and the awakening of Adam now became the focus of Ruki's life.
In Lost Eden, after Karlheinz's death, Ruki found out that a "devil" named Trismégiste was responsible for his father's bankruptcy. This man suddenly appeared and gained the acting president's trust by healing his sick daughter. Manipulated by Trismégiste, the president dismissed all the people who had supported him. So does Ruki's father.
(Ruki's father suffered so much from the dismissal that he came home drunk and raised his hand to his wife. It could possibly be one of the reasons why Ruki's mother left the family.)
The president began embezzling public funds and imposing heavy taxes on the people. After many years of dictatorship, there was a revolution and the president and Trismégiste were executed. Under unclear circumstances, Trismégiste's body disappeared without a trace.
Ruki discovered evidence that Karlheinz was probably Trismégiste. At that time, he lived in Ruki's hometown as he later stayed in Japan as Tougo Sakamaki.
In Rotigenberg (demon world) Ruki met his living father again. Karlheinz conducted experiments on human corpses to create a new race. The dead body of Ruki's father was also collected for this purpose and the once dead man was turned into a ghoul.
Through these new findings, Ruki came to the conclusion that Karlheinz may have saved him and his brothers in order to redeem himself and to calm his conscience for the terrible acts in Ruki's hometown. Nevertheless, knowing that Karlheinz was responsible for his fate, he makes peace with him. In the end, Ruki is grateful for creating a new family for him and his brothers.
Ruki's scars
THE CAT INCIDENT
In More Blood, Ruki killed a cat. He did not do this terrible action out of malice. There is a deeper symbolism behind it.
Ruki saw himself in the cat and projected his own experiences on it. It was very bad for him when he was taken to the orphanage. Repeatedly, he mentioned that he would have preferred to be left on the street to die. But his wish was not fulfilled. Instead, he was deprived of his freedom.
Adopting the cat, which was already weakened, felt like imprisonment for Ruki. To save the cat from this fate, he killed it.
His intention was rather to die than to live a life without freedom. In Ruki's eyes, killing the cat was an act of salvation. He thought it was the best he could do.
ABILITIES
As a former human, Ruki is just an incomplete vampire, also called halfblood. Just like pureblood vampires, he is immortal and possesses inhuman abilities, such as increased
strength
stamina
speed
regenerative abilities
smell
hearing
vision
These abilities are weaker than pureblood's. Due to this fact, it is easier to kill Ruki.
He can
teleport at any time
fly during the full moon
Also, he does not possess his own magic. However, Karlheinz borrows him some and he can summon bat familiars.
Ruki's saliva has healing powers and he is also resistant against all human viruses. His weakness is silver.
Unlike the pureblood vampires, he can see perfectly in the sunlight. All human food nourishes him, but blood is still his main food source.
Since Ruki is a halfblood vampire, he cannot forget the pain he experienced as a human.
