Young Master Damien's Pet

At the same time, a carriage came to pull over in front of the cemetery. As the coachman got down to open the carriage, Penny turned to see who had come here at this hour where the children were going to be buried.

A man first got down from the carriage who was followed by a woman. Their clothes were rich which anyone could pick on. Tall in appearance and their eyes red in color to make one know that they were vampires.

Both the man and woman made their way into the cemetery and she heard Damien mutter only for them to hear,

"What are the siblings doing here? Did you invite them?" he asked his question which was directed to Alexander.

Alexander's sharp eyes stared at them as they approached close, "They have the habit of inviting themselves," when the two people came to them, Alexander greeted them, "Councilman Sylvester and Councilwoman Evelyn, a surprise to see you here," his voice lacked any enthusiasm which showed a clear disregard for the people on who he wasn't happy that he wasn't here.

"We found out about you finding a couple of dead bodies in the forest and thought to come visit as we were nearby," the man named Sylvester had grey hair who was as old as Alexander. His entire hair was combed back and the sides of it shaven. With a lean built, the man wore black clothes from top to bottom like his sister. historical

The woman stayed quiet standing next to her brother, her eyes looking at the bodies that were lined down on the cold snow.

"I hope you don't mind our presence here," said councilman Sylvester meeting Alexander's eyes.

"You have already come here. I don't think if I said to leave you would," came Alexander's words. Penny internally had her eyes turn wide over their exchange of words which only continued as time pa.s.sed.

"Unfortunately, no," the man smiled, showing his pearly white fangs which he didn't bother to hide, "I would never miss an opportunity especially when we find out that you have some bodies that look like they have been stored in your mansion."

Alexander returned back the man's smile by saying, "Then I must insist that you take part in it too, maybe we can treat you well. Be my guest," he tested the man, his dark red eyes staring down at the man, "Maybe if you tried to be less manwh.o.r.e the children would have lived as some of them belong to the towns and villages which are under your care."

Councilman Sylvester raised his brows, "What? It feels like your cousin's character is rubbing off of you," it was a jab to Damien but Damien didn't mind it one bit.

The man enjoyed the limelight which was thrown at him and it didn't matter if it was good or bad.

"Did you want to rub yourself off him, Sylvester?" Damien asked the man, a wicked smile on his face where the meaning of the words came out to be completely different. Implying the man had something for Alexander and not against.

"Oh, look. It is Master Damien here," the councilman behaved as if he just realized Damien was present with them, "I didn't see you."

"Of course, you didn't. I have been s.h.i.+ning so bright that your eyes have gone blind," Damien responded back with the same vigor the councilman jabbed at them. Penny was glad that she had Sylvia and Elliot with her who was listening to their conversation.

The woman named Evelyn spoke, "That should be enough of banter for a day. We weren't expecting you here, Councilman Damien," the woman had short blonde hair which was wavy in nature. Her eyes looked straight at Damien. Unlike her brother, the woman spoke politely but it must have been only for Damien. The look in her eye, even Penny noticed that there was something for him in there, "You missed out the last meeting," she said. Penny wondered what it was about.

This young master of hers must have played with quite some women who had been left hanging in the air.

"Apologies for that," Damien didn't appear one bit apologetic as he said those words, "I wasn't expecting you here either. I came here for a good vacation with my lovely fiance right here."

Fiance?

"Fiance?" Evelyn looked taken aback with the information. Her eyes fell on Sylvia first and then fell on Penelope. Penny could feel herself being scanned by the woman's eyes from top to bottom.

"Isn't she lovely?" Damien asked her and Penny wished she could go back home now. She was aware of how he enjoyed the spotlight but he could keep her out of it than make her the next hunting target by the past flings he had before meeting her. But Damien enjoyed putting people in tight spots, watching them squirm and turn nervous.

"She looks okay. I didn't know you would pick a human," the lady looked truly disappointed with Damien's choice.

"What my sister means to say is that she would make a better fit as your partner, councilman Damien," Sylvester chipped in, looking at the girl who had been standing there quietly. The girl looked like a pretty flower but she didn't appear more than a showpiece, lack of words and her discomfort as they spoke right now was clearly seen by the siblings.

Damien chuckled, "I must say for a brother who wants to fulfill your sister's wish of marriage, I don't see you licking my boots but the elders in the council. You should perhaps go look for her hand in marriage there," Damien's lack of filter and tact for anything that he spoke made everyone stare back at him.

Evelyn continued to look displeased over the matter, "I will be sure to get back to you on that once we are done dealing things here," the woman smiled, her pink lips stretching to a formal smile. Her eyes lingered longer on the girl who she would deal with without letting go of the matter.
