Athanasia's Pov

It was finally mornings when I had awoke in cold sweat with puffy red eyes.
I could have been certain someone was fiddling with my hair just now.. was it simply my imagination?

"It appears that the sleeping beauty has finally chosen to wake up"

"WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING IN MY ROOM!?" I scream mortified

"Oh were you hoping for someone else? Would you like me to fetch a Prince for you from abroad? What country do you prefer? Arlanta? Huale? Syncasia?"

"THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT!!" I say throwing a pillow at him

"Jeez, no need for violence, I'm just here to receive what I was promised"

"...Oh right.. the blood contract"

"Yep"

...............................................................

"...Ok, sooo what do I have to do?" I say breaking the awkward silence

"Oh nothing much, I just have to follow you around 24/7"

"WHAT!!"

"What?"

"I mean... WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY FOLLOWING ME AROUND 24/7!!!"

"I mean precisely what I said, when I stated that I have stick with you to collect your mana"

"Isn't there a much more efficient way to accomplish this?"

"Listen, I'm not interested in doing this either alright? But this is something we'll both just have to deal with"

"Ughh whatever, fine let's go"

"Hm? Go where?"

"To the library"

"In that attire?"

I looked down at my clothes only to have just realised that I was still in my nightgown, I shrieked in embarrassment to which I quickly dashed inside the bathroom to take a bath and get changed.

"Took you long enough, it appears that girls really do take their time in the shower" he commented as I walked out of the bathroom

"Oh, be quiet! Do you have any idea how long it takes to dry your hair? You should know because you, too, have long hair!!"

"That seems like more of a you issue than a me one; I can dry my hair with my own mana, which is something you won't comprehend" he adds, flicking his hair across my face
