Rebirth: Childhood friend of the heroine-Chapter 192 191- Marriage?
It was the first time for Rebecca to enter the Blood Domain, even though she was a vampire.
When her father left the Blood Domain with her mother, he signed a contract with the Monarch that he would never enter the realm again, and in exchange, no one from the Blood Domain would cause any trouble for him.
Naturally, the pact still forbids her father to come back here, and she was related to him, Rebecca also wasn't supposed to enter her home world.
However, the Monarch had different plans. He somehow knew that Alex would need to visit the Blood Domain in the near future, and as his partner, Rebecca also would be with him.
That's why, through Natasha, he provided her with the permission, that until Alex stays in the Blood Domain, Victor Steelhound's daughter can also be a guest of the realm.
Naturally, Rebecca was excited to see the place where her father and mother grew up.
She has heard from them, that the realm was nothing like human territory.
The weather always remains cold and there aren't many towns and cities on the other side.
And just as they said, the sky was gloomy, and even after crossing several miles, she couldn't spot a single establishment or town.
It was like, they were pushed to a barren land, which has seen countless wars and now was desolate.
Alex soon informed them, "The Monarch doesn't like noise much; that's why he forbade any city to be built around the capital."
Hearing his words, everyone made a face that said how weird it was.
He had the same expression as them when he visited the domain for the first time and heard it from Angelina.
"I mean...the Monarch does give the impression of being a peaceful loving being...but isn't it too much?" Celestria muttered.
Someone who likes a lively atmosphere and a colorful world, this was practically a prison cell for her.
Alex sighed, "Well, there are people and shops in the main capital so you may like it."
Saying so, he looked out of the window and found the capital visible on the horizon.
"Hey, Alex...how was Professor Jullie?" Edric asked, a bit hesitantly.
Alex nodded, "Doing good. She came to meet the Headmaster and check on me. Although I suggested traveling with us, she rejected the offer. She...you know, kind of still hesitant to be around people."

Edric seemed visibly worried for her, and her concern was shared by everyone who closely knew her.
Sarah had an indifferent look on her face but inside her head, she was cautious about something.
From what she heard from Alex...Jullie is possibly a dangerous woman. Not because she wants to harm him, but because she has gained a place in his heart.
Sarah knows Alex more than anyone, and when he talks about Jullie and tells the Saintess what she has done for Alex back when he was just a weakling...Sarah felt various alarms going off in her hand.
'First Rebecca and now Jullie...just how long is this list going to be?' She needs to have a talk with her man.
Soon, they reached the castle where the king of all vampires resided.
However, they were not here to meet him but his daughter.
Getting off the carriage, they were met by a familiar person. Well, only Alex and Edric recognized her.
"Angelina...how have you been?" Alex asked with a smile. The girl has been quite diligent with her work. She had been helping Jullie recently as well.
The silver-haired one lowered her head and greeted, "Welcome Sir Alex and his friends. We have been informed about your arrival, and your stay at the castle has been arranged."
Sarah narrowed her eyes...another threat?
Alex, completely unaware of what was cooking in her lover's mind, invited everyone inside.
He was considering staying at a different place than the castle. After all, intruding at the Monarch's resident uninvited seemed rude.
However, Natasha informed them that the place they were looking for was close to the capital, and they wouldn't be able to find a motel anywhere near the castle easily.
And since the whole place is pretty much empty, she told him not to think much about it and to stay there.
"Sir Alex, how many rooms would you be needing?" Angelina asked, en route.
There were several vacant rooms, but naturally, they wouldn't prefer to stay separately.
Alex hummed before turning towards Edric, "You will be staying in the same room with Amanda?"
Edric opened his mouth and was about to instantly agree, but then he turned toward his girl and asked her.
Amanda felt slightly nervous, given her elder sister was here, so she said, "If there are two single beds in the same room..."
Sarah's left brow went up upon hearing that, as she glanced at her sister.
Amanda averted her gaze, reluctant to meet her eyes.
"Yes, that can be arranged." Angelina fluently responded before she glanced at Alex.
The silverhead shrugged, "Just a single room with a big bed."
Amanda was startled and so was Rebecca. She wasn't actually expecting to be staying in the same room as Alex. Naturally, it was welcomed but the shock was pretty evident on her face.
On the other hand, Amanda raised her eyes and looked at her sister...and this time, it was Sarah's turn to avert her gaze.
'Heeh~I at least showed some modesty(barely).' The younger sister thought.
Angelina brought them to their rooms before saying, "Should I get lunch delivered to your rooms?"
Alex nodded, "That'd be great. In an hour, maybe."
Angelina gave a brief bow before telling them, "If you wish to have something specific in your lunch, please inform a maid using the bell given in your room."
Alex thanked the girl before he turned toward Edric, "Let's meet after a few hours of rest. I will call you."
Edric nodded, "Got it."
....
The room Edric and Amanda got was quite huge...almost quarter the size of the school library. High ceiling, vintage chandelier, bookshelves, tea table, long windows with dark curtains. It all gave a very peaceful but slightly gloomy vibes.
"This place is huge..." Amanda whispered as she sat down on the bed.
Edric rested his and Amanda's bag on the table, before looking around the room with his hands on his waist.
"I can probably train here without breaking anything. Can bring a few training dummies in as well."
"Ed, no. This is not our house, so let's not add anything that doesn't belong here."
Edric raised his hands, before assuring her, "Relax, just kidding."
...well, he wasn't actually. But since Amanda seemed reluctant, he wasn't going to test her patience.
....
In the other room, everyone was surprised to find such a huge bed in the middle of the room.
All four of them were thin so they could have easily adjusted on a regular king-size bed. However, this was much wider and longer.
"It can accommodate possibly ten people..." Celestria muttered under her breath as she slowly made her way inside.
Sarah was looking around the place, as she removed the veil from her face and got some breather.
Rebecca was searching for some traps or maybe someone hiding in the room. While she was at it, she discerned a few escape points as well, just in case.
Alex rested their bags by the bed and stretched his arms a little.
He has been traveling with others for quite a long now, and his body hasn't completely recovered.
However, he has no time to rest since the quest timer is continuously ticking.
"Alex we need to talk." Sarah suddenly called out as she sat down on the bed.
Alex raised his brows, as he nodded, "Yeah, sure. What is it about?"
"About Rebecca." Her instant reply left him speechless, and the girl in question also turned stiff.
The two individuals glanced at each other, panic evident in Rebecca's eyes.
She had been thinking about when it would happen, and now, Sarah mentioned it all of a sudden.
Rebecca thought she would be doing this talk along with her. However, Sarah had different thoughts.
"You are scaring her, Sarah," Celestria muttered as she casually looked at the books arranged on the shelves.
"Am I?" Sarah asked, a smile forming on her lips.
Alex took a deep breath before extending his hand toward Rebecca.
The Vampire Princess took it nervously before he brought her to the bed.
After sitting down, he confirmed, "Yeah, I am dating her. And I am prepared for whatever punishment you may have."
Sarah sighed, "I am not talking about punishment here...I am just jealous."
Celestria hummed in surprise as she also looked at them.
Alex and Rebecca were taken aback by that statement but before Alex could ask, Sarah added,
"She formed a Blood Bond with you which is practically getting married. And here, I am still not married to you even though I have known you for a longer time than her."
Celestria's eyes widened as she realized what she had been neglecting,
"That's right, Alex! Even though I am your childhood friend, you aren't married to me."
Hearing their complaints, Alex was taken aback, before he asked hesitantly, "So...you two wanna get married?"
Sarah and Celestria glanced at each other, before responding at the same time,
"Yes."
