Mother Teresa: What’s going on? Why all the screaming?

  Eld: Mom, those two won’t let me sleep!

  Mother Teresa: *Sigh* Oh my... you scared me with that scream, Eld. Do you know that?

  Mother Teresa

  A vampire from the kingdom of Nocturnevania. A kind lady and a gentle mother. All the children adore her. Her age is unknown.

  Eld: Mom, tell them to leave me alone and let me sleep in peace.

  Yuki: Mom, he was also awake!

  Li Yan: Yeah, Mom! He was the one who wanted to stay up till morning!

  Teresa: Enough! Eld doesn’t lie. Both of you are grounded. Eld, come sleep in my room. I’m not sleeping tonight—I’ve got work.

  Eld held Teresa’s hand and glanced at Li Yan and Yuki with a wicked smile.

  Both Teresa and Eld left the room.

  Yuki: Did you see that?!

  Li Yan: That little brat knows how to manipulate Mama Teresa.

  Silence filled the room, and only the sound of snow tapping the windows remained.

  Yuki: I hate Eld so much...

  Li Yan: Yuki, everyone knows you’re the last person who actually hates Eld.

  Yuki: Huh?! What do you mean?

  Li Yan: You like Eld more than anyone else.

  Yuki: Lies. Just stupid rumors. I hate him.

  Li Yan: He’s our friend. You don’t hate him. Stop saying you hate people over every little thing. That’s immature.

  Yuki: Just shut up.

  That was the last thing Yuki said before she and Li Yan fell asleep on Eld’s bed.
