The Bride Of The Vampire King

Tarsa's parents at first did not agree with this, they strongly objected to Kairi Ariana's decision to give their daughter an assignment and they were not allowed to know where Tarsa was going and what kind of things she would do in her assignment.

It was really frustrating for both of them to not be allowed to know those details.

Indeed Tarsa is their daughter, but now she is a Kairi, therefore things like this will continue to happen in the future and they don't have a say in this matter.

The person who was most against this was Tarsa's mother, she was strongly against Tarsa's sudden departure, especially when she knew that Damon would be coming with her, this made the First lady feel very objected.

In her eyes, Damon didn't have a good reputation. He had failed to keep the previous Kairi alive, so it was certain that he wouldn't be able to take good care of her daughter either.

But, after Raphael intervened and talked alone with Tarsa's mother, her anger finally subsided a little and allowed Tarsa to live her new life as a Kairi.

This was very strange, but this was what happened…

Raphael seemed to be much better with words than Damon. And that's quite a relief.

Now, the three of them were at the station, about to go to the town of Ambarasi, which Tarsa only found out after she got hold of her own ticket and was forbidden to reveal their whereabouts.

Now there are only three of them.

"I'll buy a drink for a while." Their train would be here in ten minutes, so there was still quite a bit of time for him to buy something. "You want something, Kairi?" asked Raphael.

"I'll come with you," Tarsa said, she didn't want to be left with Damon and as much as possible not to have a conversation with him.

Indeed her attitude she felt was very childish, but she couldn't help but have an expressionless face that didn't show her feelings at all like Damon did right now.

"Okay, then you just wait here," said Raphael when he saw Damon was about to go with them. Since Tarsa was carrying one large suitcase, it would be very inconvenient to move around. "The supermarket is over there, you can see it."

Raphael then showed him the small supermarket, which wasn't too far from them so Damon wouldn't worry too much.

Even Raphael himself felt that Damon was too overprotective of Tarsa. But, on the other hand, that's a good thing, isn't it?

Damon frowned and sat back down. He still didn't say much.

Seeing that, Raphael then grabbed Tarsa's hand, just in case she got hit by passing people by accident. And behind them, Damon followed them with his eyes.

Instinctively, Tarsa looked back and found Damon staring at her, their eyes met, but Tarsa immediately averted her eyes and went into the small supermarket there to buy some snacks.

Like a gentleman, Raphael held the door for Tarsa and accompanied her to choose the food she wanted while he only took two bottles of cold drinks for himself and Damon, while Tarsa preferred the mango juice she liked.

"Oh, I want to buy something," Tarsa said when they were in front of the cashier. "You can just stay here." Tarsa held Raphael back, who was about to get out of line to accompany her. "I'm just a moment."

Tarsa didn't want them to have to queue again and have to miss the train, because behind them there were already two people queuing up too.

Since the supermarket tended to be small, wherever Tarsa moved, Raphael must be able to see her and with that in mind, he let Tarsa go.

"You are very overprotective of your lover," said a woman who was standing in line behind Raphael. "Don't be like that, give her some freedom, otherwise she will break away from you."

Hearing this, Raphael just smiled. There was no point in refuting either, while out of the corner of his eye, he followed where Tarsa was moving, not wanting to lose the girl.

On the other hand, Tarsa was engrossed in choosing her favorite chocolate when she saw a little girl about two years old, standing beside her and tugging at her shirt, as if she wanted to say something.

Seeing the adorable little girl, Tarsa looked left and right, but didn't see anyone else looking for this girl.

Was she lost? Tarsa thought…

And because the little girl kept tugging at her clothes, Tarsa then crouched down, ducked between the food shelves and momentarily disappeared from Raphael's sight.

"Hey, little girl, are you lost?" Tarsa asked, while smiling gently at the little girl and rubbing her head. Her rosy cheeks look adorable.

However, the girl didn't answer. She just shook her head and looked sad.

"Did you lose your parents?" Tarsa became confused because this girl, now starting to look like she wanted to cry. "What is it?" she asked worriedly.

The little girl then pulled Tarsa's jacket and whispered something in her ear. She then said one sentence that made Tarsa furrow her brows.

The sentence the little girl spoke was an address. However, Tarsa didn't really know where the address was since she didn't tell her the exact location or which city it was.

So, was she really lost?

"Tarsa, what are you doing?" Raphael asked who was suddenly behind her. The protector looked at her worriedly and held out his hand to help her up.

"Oh, I was just talking to this girl, she seems lost," Tarsa replied, but when she turned her head, the little girl had disappeared from there.

"A little girl?" Raphael frowned. "I didn't see anyone earlier."

Tarsa then looked into another aisle in the supermarket. "But, the kid was right here earlier…" Tarsa insisted and looked confused. "Maybe it's because she's covered in this shelf, that's why you can't see her…"

"Yeah, maybe…" Raphael muttered.

Luckily, when Tarsa and Raphael came back, their train came and the three of them get in and looked for their seats.

The seats purchased by Raphael were of course for first class, where not many people were there and tended to be empty in this particular class.

A male staff then approached their small group, offering to help Damon lift his suitcase to the luggage storage area above their heads, but Damon didn't say anything and picked up Tarsa's suitcase himself, while Raphael told the staff that they would call him if need help.

It seemed pretty obvious who would be the spokesperson in this small group when Raphael was there.

However, this role suited him perfectly. Raphael knew how to balance Damon's taciturn.

The division of their roles was very clear, where Raphael would be the spokesperson, Damon would be the one who did everything in silence and Tarsa… well, she didn't feel like she could do anything but try to understand a new world that was so foreign to her now…

Damon then gently pushed Tarsa's body to be on the inside of the seats they were sitting on, while Raphael was in front of them, facing Tarsa, and Damon took his seat beside her.

Actually, Tarsa wanted to sit beside Raphael, but Damon didn't give her any other choice but to sit beside him.

"Don't take your hat off," Damon warned Tarsa as she took off her hat. "It would be a trouble if someone comes to recognize you."

Tarsa didn't want to reply, but she didn't want to wear the hat on the train either, so before she could think about it, the words just slipped from her lips. "I am not that popular that everyone will recognize me."

Yes, even though Tarsa is the daughter of the president of this country, she didn't participate much in state events, because it drained her energy and was not good for her heart.

Thanked to her weak body, she was so rare to be seen in public.

So, it wasn't an exaggeration for Tarsa to say she wasn't popular, and Damon didn't seem to mind it anymore, after the train started moving.

For Damon and Raphael, the two didn't need a suitcase to carry their gear, and just used a more practical black duffel bag.

"So, what am I going to do?" Tarsa asked a little awkwardly. She still didn't know what kind of task a Kairi would normally do and wasn't sure if she could do this well.

If the task required physical strength, maybe Tarsa wouldn't mind too much, since her physique was now much better thanked to Kairi Xierra's heart, but if the task required her to unleash spiritual power, Tarsa didn't know where to start.

"There was a strange case in the town of Ambarasi, where many children disappeared for several days and when they were found, they were not the same as themselves anymore.." Raphael started this narration.
