The Contract

After getting ready the maid took Luna to the mansion’s dinning hall where Raizel was waiting for her. It was huge and, in the middle, a very long table. Luna sits on one of the chairs while looking around, after a couple of minutes Raizel looks at her while smiling and says:

Raizel: Do you happen to remember anything from yesterday?

Luna: Umm… Not much, the last thing that I remember is that was going back home – (she remembers that she has to go to school) Oh my, I almost forgot, what time is it?! I must be so late for school!!

Raizel: There is no need to hurry, today is Sunday.

Luna: Ohh really …(she puts on a troubled smile).

Raizel: Why don’t you enjoy your breakfast first then we’ll talk later, OK ?

After finishing their breakfast Raizel asks one of his maids:

Raizel: Bring me the contract.

The maid: Yes sir.

The maid brings a contract that seems to be written an extremely old paper.

Raizel: Here, read this and you’ll understand what’s going on.

Luna takes the paper and reads it. Before finishing it the shock on her face was clear.

Luna: So this contract states that The Cortez family and the Claudis family made a contract and it’s goal is that the Claudis family offers it’s protection and financial support to my family in return the Head of the Cortez family gives one of his children to the Claudis family… And since I’m an only child…. No no no this is ridiculous, there is no way my father would’ve agreed to this.

Raizel: I’m sorry to disappoint you but he already agreed, that’s one of the reasons why you are already here, besides I am not that bad either, Right alexa??

Alex: Of course sir, you are the best at everything.

Raizel: I’m honored to hear that from you Alexa.

Alexa: No sir . The honor is all mine.

Raizel: (Looks at Luna while smiling) I just wanted to inform you that’s all, don’t look so sad, come on, cheer up!!

Luna: (Still in shock) I just need some time to set up my mind and take everything in …

Raizel: Sure, Oh and by the way you can ask the driver to take you home whenever you want to, even though this is your home right now but I will let you adapt at your own pace, Right? Just take baby steps. (Looks at alexa) Give her a tour of the mansion so she doesn’t get lost.

Alexa: Your wish is my command sir.

When Alexa takes Luna on a tour of the mansion Raizel calls his butler and asks him for something to drink. After 2 minutes the butler brings a glass of a red liquid and serves it to Raizel.

Raizel: (Asks his butler)Do you know what is the sweetest blood out there??

The butler: Deer blood sir.

Raizel: No no no it’s HUMAN BLOOD.
