Allure of The Night - Chapter 417

Chapter 417: After The Revelation

Eve knew it was risky to reveal the entire truth about herself to Rosetta. The leverage they had was that the vampiress was deeply in love with Eugene, and it was Eve, who in the end, had helped revive Eugene back through the vampiress’s blood. She also hoped the friendship she shared with the vampiress would help the young woman from telling it to anyone.

As Eve watched an unconscious Rosetta, she heard Eugene ask her, “Miss Eve, Is everything really alright? You seem tense.”

Having been around and taking care of Eve for so many years now, since the time Lady Aubrey and he had taken Eve to the Dawson’s house that night they had found Eve for the first time, Eugene could easily tell when something worried her.

After a lot of thought, and with Rosetta still unconscious, Eve whispered, “I know who stabbed you,” gaining Eugene as well as Timotei’s entire attention, who had been pawing at Rosetta’s face to check if she was really unconscious.

Eugene’s red eyes narrowed, and he asked, “Was it her?”

Eve nodded, “It was Marceline.”

“That witch!” Timotei cursed Marceline, not expecting the person to end up being the vampiress. “I thought she would go to Meadow to harm you. Did she change plans after seeing him on the way?” The black cat stood up. He jumped near the door and on the ground.

“I don’t think she was ever going to harm me directly,” Eve replied in a grave tone. Marceline was a member of the Moriarty family, and she doubted the vampiress was dumb enough to do it. Because if the woman had tried to stab her, Vincent would rip his sister’s body by now, and Marceline was aware of it. She said, “She decided to go with the people who are close to me, and right now only Eugene is close by.”

Timotei sighed, “Thank the heavens that I didn’t stay around her, or I would be the animal sacrifice. Not that she could place a finger on me.” He moved to the closed door and began scratching the wooden door and said, “Let me out! I will scratch her until she bleeds to death!”

“Not now,” Eve said as she looked at the black cat. She then looked back at Eugene and apologised, “I am sorry, Eugene. It is because of me you almost lost your life today.”

“And it is because of you that I regained it, Miss Eve. You do not have to apologise for the bad deeds caused by someone else,” Eugene shook his head. He then said, “We now know whom to be careful about.”

Timotei asked, “Did you ask her if she did it? How did you find out?”

“I sometimes have visions…” Eve replied, and Timotei appeared to look in awe. Walking near her, he jumped on her lap with his eyes brightly shining, where she had taken a seat on the wooden chair.

“Now, I am definitely sure you possess all the abilities that are needed to turn me back,” the black cat’s tail swished in the air and he promised her, “I am willing to do anything in return. Ask me anything.”

“For now stay with Eugene and keep an eye to make sure nothing happens and also keep a watch on this one,” Eve’s eyes fell on Rosetta.<novelnext></novelnext>

Timotei exclaimed, “Right on it! Let me go find the ropes. The easiest method is to keep her tied.” He then asked, “Why not confront Marceline like the liar she is? Now even her family knows what a big fat liar she is.”

Eve knew that if she told it to the Viscount and Lady Annalise, they would believe her and not their elder daughter Marceline. But what next? The vampiress would be scolded and shunned away, but would that be enough for what she had caused?

“I will confront her once the physician leaves,” Eve’s blue eyes started to have flecks of gold in them, and she said, “The salt from the sea shall be sprinkled when she feels her wounds are about to disappear.”

Eve wanted to watch the vampiress fall from her high pedestal on the wet and muddy ground, the same place which she had until now looked with disgust.

Two minutes later, Rosetta’s body jerked. She woke up and just for a second, she looked confused about where she was.

When Rosetta’s eyes fell on Eugene, her heart bubbled with happiness. How lovely would it be to always wake up to look at Eugene? The vampiress thought in her mind. Her mind filled itself with flowers and hearts, sunshine and moonlight–

“Had a good nap there, milady?”

Rosetta turned to look in the direction of the voice, and her eyes went wide when she saw the black cat. She suddenly remembered where she was and her head snapped to look at Eve, who looked back at her.

“I–I must have fallen asleep, because I was t–tired from all the crying in the forest,” Rosetta explained to Eve. There was a hint of nervousness and awkwardness in the young vampiress’s voice.

It was because she remembered the time when she told Eve how much she enjoyed the meat of a mermaid. But it was true and how would she have known that her friend was not just one of her favourite people but also one of her favourite dishes?

Never had the vampiress been put under this situation, where she had to choose between her favourite food and friendship.

“Rosetta, there’s nothing to be afraid about,” Eve assured the vampiress, who stared at her with worry. “If you are worried, I will give you all the space that you need so that–“

“I am not going to hurt you!” Rosetta blurted, taking Eve and the others by surprise. The vampiress clutched on her skirt and said with worry. She gulped before saying, “I will not eat you… I promise. In fact, I won’t touch mermaid meat again.”
