9 I am happy for you both!

"By any chance, Are you pregnant?"

As I asked Lady Rachael with fear trembling in my heart. Without changing her expression with the same warm smile she replied "Am I?"

I was dumbfounded. After her two words I don't know how to ask her further. After a minute of silence she continued slowly "So... you had a vision?" I bit my lower lips and nodded.

"I didn't mean to invade your privacy, but the picture came to my mind. Sorry if I had hurt you", I said in a low tone. With a second of gap, she opened her mouth saying,"Its alright you are my sister, you are bound to know someday."

When she mentioned that I'm her sister, even though she meant the real Claire. Still it made me happy. I smiled at her warmly and she returned it. "So you and Raphael are in a relationship?", I asked causally.

When she heard my question her expression changed yet she maintained her smile, "So we got caught ah? Actually father told us not reveal it to you sooner, since you just joined us.

And you know its creepy for humans to find out that sister and brother are in relationship. In vampires to maintain pure blood they marry between their own blood. Yeah! it seems like monsters but that is what we are. It is quite common so that the offspring will be powerful. And when we were kids, we always sticked together.

It was not that special during those times. He always protected me, he always stood by me. I loved him more than anything. Our mother was mostly in the battle field. After our moms death, Sonja took care of us among her schedule. Still I felt a bit lonely, during those times Raphael was there for me.

When we entered high school he started to avoid me, soon he even got a girlfriend. It hurt me a lot, when I saw that some other girl took my place. When fought with him about it, our feelings became clear and it became mutual. It's alright if you want to avoid me or anything, I clearly understand your feeling Elly."

I was dumbfounded when I heard her talking, I had no idea how to react when she said that. Yet when I think about it, she has no reason to explain it to me. She made sure that I don't hate her by explaining to me. I kind of like her now more. Everyone has their rights to love anyone still it will take some time for me adjust to this.

I took sometime to choose the words, at that time, while she said, " Okay I will my leave, you take your time and I'll arrange another doctors to monitor your health. If you need anything you can ask dad." She walked up to door, "Wait! Lady Rachael! I'm happy for you and Lord Raphael."

Upon hearing my words, she rushed to me and gave me a big hug, she mumbled, "Thank you, thank you so much for understanding. Thank you so much Elly. Love you a lot and it's Rachael and Raphael. Now stand up get yourself dressed."

After Lady Rachael's anxious words, I got down from bed. I moved a bit front to pick the dress, the next second I was near the door. What is this insane speed? I got surprised. "Try it a tit slower. When you are a new born you will acquire strong physical attributes. It might be new to you now, later on you will get the gist of it. I will turn this side" then Lady Rachael turned around.

I moved very slowly, like baby steps then came near the bed.I removed my clothes, there were bitemarks in my body. Not so bright though, it has already started to fade. The dress was a perfect fit, as if it was made for me. "You look gorgeous Elly! You could do modelling you know!", Lady Rachael said anxiously.

When I saw myself in the mirror, I was stunned to see myself. It was like made just for me. Just for me? "Rachael, I don't think so but just to clarify I'm asking it. Is this dress custom made?" She grinned and replied, "You have good eyes Elly. Ofcourse it is and we will meet your designer on the engagement party. Make sure to express your gratitude to her."

I gave her a smile and replied, "Sure, and thank you, Rachael." She opened the door and everyone entered the room. I stood there near the bed without moving an inch everyone's face was in an awe. Lord Raphael was the first one to spoke, "You look exactly like a vintage style vampire. And your curly hair upto your waist, suits your attire a lot. My sister is not only smart but beautiful too."

"Thank you", I replied to him with a smile. Lord Valdimir kept smiling without saying anything while Lord Charles maintained his cold demeanour. "Then let's move", Lady Rachael insisted everyone while clinging to my hand.

She helped me to move slowly using her strength. We reached the entrance of hospital. There was a huge amount of people along with press were standing outside the hospital entrance. It's has been so many years since I have seen these many people who are not soldiers.

Both Lord Charles and Lord Raphael Covered the front, blocking interference of the crowd towards us. Lord Valdimir stood at the back to safe guard me. I turned back to take look at him, he had his mean and strong expression. No one will dare to get close to him when he is like this.

While Lord Raphael and Lord Charles who were usually the spokespersons for the area, are used to the press people. They raised numerous questions to the both of them.

"Is Captain Asuna alright to move, Lord Charles?" "Captain how does it feel to be protected by the Royal Family?" "Lord Raphael, there is talk going on that Captain Asuna will be your wife, Is that true?" "Lord Charles, has your sister Lady Claire been devoured by Captain Asuna?" "Did Lady Claire really died during summoning?"

To all those questions, Lord Charles answered with a cold expression in a single sentence, "We will hold a press conference in our mansion day after my engagement, during that time your questions will be answered but not the stupid ones." They all were tongue tied when they heard Lord Charles words with those intense expression.

As we passed the crowd, there was a black Porsche Panamera waiting for us. Lady Rachael helped me get inside the car. Next to me Lord Charles were sitting. In the front seat, Lady Rachael sat. The car moved out of the hospital into the city. The hospital became a long distant building....
