55 Warmth- Part 2 (2/2)

”Thank you,” she murmured taking the spoon and dipping it in the bowl to take half spoon of the hot liquid in it. Blowing the spoon she drank it and remembered something, ”You mentioned lord Nicholas had fallen sick. Was it when you had turned him into a human?”

The butler who had been touching the long strands of his pony stopped moving with a shocked expression, ”How do you know about it?”

He still remembered the day vividly. His master was furious with him and he had been scared for his life but after a few minutes he had started laughing like a crazed man. Stanley was glad that he hadn't lost his life that day. Sure, the lord promised to put him in the confinements with the wild wolves forever but when he returned back, he had a pleased look. Instead he had made him spend a night with wild wolves as the butler had slipped in the drink without knowing what after effects it held on a pure blooded vampire. The wild wolves were not easy to live with. They were usually starved to the point where if they found any living, moving object, it would be pounced and torn.

Heidi smiled at the memory and spoke, ”It was the first time I met Lord Nicholas. He was injured and needed medication.”

”It was you,” the butler whispers with a frown between his brows.

”What?” Heidi looks up as she finishes another spoonful of the soup.

”Master did say a human saved him,” the butler replies and takes the empty bowl out of the room. As he closes the door close, he pauses looking at the empty bowl and then turning to see the door.

The door to the wide endless cell opened for him to get out. Seeing his master standing next to the cell, he bowed his head, ”How was your trip to the human land, master?”

”It was entertaining, except for me getting shot by the thoughtless humans,” Lord Nicholas replied with a curt voice.

”Let me help you dress it,” Stanley offered immediately.

”That won't be necessary. A woman in the town gave me the necessary medicines to stop the wound. Naive, foolish human,” the lord had one side of his lips turned up as he spoke about his savior, ”You should thank her for having an early release from paradise.”

”Yes, master. Was your visit successful?”

”It was more than successful. It seems like my guess was right. I want you to deliver a message to the head council personally. Before they make a move it would be wise to implement our plan. Warren has already complied and I see no reason to wait.”

Due to the after-effects of the drug, Lord Nicholas had fallen ill before turning back to be a pure-blooded vampire. It was the same time the truce for human and vampire relationship betterment was offered. So his lord and lady Heidi had met before in Woville, thought Stanley.
