After having a bath and a change of dress, I changed my bedsheet and pillows. I decided to wash them and dry them on my balcony.

What? I can wash my own clothes you know. I am a strong and independent woman in my previous life.

After changing my bed sheets and pillows, I laid down on my bed to sleep but I couldn't. My brain keep on thinking about what just happened.

Luke lost control of himself earlier.. Why? Was he too hungry?

I touched my left shoulder, it was too painful. After healing it earlier, the flesh that Luke has eaten grew back as new, as if nothing happened but his bite mark.. it was still there. No matter what I did, it won't disappear.

I sighed. I can't sleep, I want to sleep but I can't.

I went out of my bed and took a scarf from my cabinet before I placed it on my shoulder.

I left my room and decided to go to the garden since library was off limits for me right now. I am an obedient girl, I follow what my father says to me.

The cold breeze blew against me and it made me shiver for a while but it helped me cool down my thoughts.

I suddenly felt someone looking at me, I turned and saw Spade.. He was staring at me.

He was wearing a black polo shirt and white pants. Why is he still awake?

"Good evening, Duke Bloodwort." I decided to greet him.

I didn't got an answer from him which made me sigh inwardly. I turned away from him and stared up, looking at the beautiful starry sky. The moon was full and the stars were blinking brightly.

Full moon.. wait.. could it be.. affecting Luke's hunger?

If it is then he should be in so much pain right now, right?

"Lady Trancy."

I was snapped out by Spade cello-like voice.

I turned to him, did he just called me?

"It's pretty late at night, what are you doing here?"

I was surprised since he was talking to me, a woman.

"I should be saying the same thing to you." I chuckled a bit. "I couldn't sleep that's why I decided to take a stroll, how about you?"

He didn't answered me again.

I was going to tell him that I was going to go back to my room but he started speaking up before I can say it to him.

"It's as worse as the prince said, the dark miasma that surrounded the place earlier."

I furrowed my brows. "Did it happen again?"

"Yes. Three hours ago."

If I remembered it correctly, Luke was in my room two hours ago so it can't be him, right?

Then.. could it be while I was asleep?

Spade didn't spoke anymore, he was staring at me as if he was trying to read me. Could he be doubting me? Is he thinking that I have something to do with it since I'm still awake?

"What is it?" I asked him.

He turned away and left me.

I sighed and shook my head, I cannot understand him right now. Why is he here in the first place? It's like he just came here to report what happened earlier. Weird.

But this is not important right now. I need to speak with Luke tomorrow about this. I'm starting to doubt that it's not the curse object that's releasing the dark miasma..

----

I didn't sleep the whole night, I covered my eyebags with some powder before I went to visit Luke in his room.

I knocked but he didn't answered. I held the door knob and turn it. It wasn't locked.

I opened the door and saw an empty room. Luke wasn't there.

"Ah, young miss, if your looking for the young master, he left."

I became nervous with what a servant told me. I turned and faced him. "What do you mean?"

"Young master Luke went back to the academy." The butler said.

"Without seeing me?" I thought he was going to go back after breakfast!

"Did he left something for me? Like a message or a letter?"

The butler shook his head. "Young master didn't left anything."

"I see."

That's it! If I'm going to see that idiot brother, I'm going to beat the crap out of him! I know that he would be feeling guilty about what happened last night but avoiding me won't solve anything! I am trying to help him, okay?! Just when I found out that full moon could be something that be affecting him..

I headed to the dinning hall and entered it. Father and Spade was already there.

"Good morning, daddy, Duke Bloodwort." I greeted as I did my usual curtsy.

I was in a bad mood right now. I know that Luke may seem strong on the outside but he's actually a sensitive person.

I didn't spoke as I had my breakfast with father and Spade.

"I will have to leave later and go back to my work. I will leave my daughter's well being to you, Duke Spade."

Spade just gave father a nod before he continued eating.

"Brielle, be a good girl, okay?" My father reminded me.

"Yes daddy."

"Luke left earlier, he said that he didn't want to wake you up so early that's why you have to forgive him for not saying his goodbyes to you, Brielle."

Ah, my beloved father, he can clearly see that I was in a bad mood.

"I know, daddy. I just couldn't help it. I wouldn't be able to see brother for a while so leaving without saying a good bye is just.." I paused and sighed. "But I understand, I will just wait for his return."

----

I spent days inside my room. My father left and I decided not to call Evelyn over.

Now that I think of it, I should just leave Spade alone. If I go after him, he would just hate me like how he does to other girls.

I went to the music room to practice my piano skills.

I feel so down after Luke left, I don't want to meet or talk to other people too. I wanted to be alone.

My beloved dream guy didn't showed up in my dreams anymore. I would love to seek comfort from him and ask him for help concerning Luke but he didn't appeared.

I pursed my lips and stopped playing the piano. I want to see Luke.. I wonder if he's doing fine.. I can't help but get worried after what happened to him..
