“Just let him rest for the rest of the night”. The words of Erebi were absolutely right; Saga remained sitting and watching over the noble thinking about her future. Her head was full of different emotions; firstly fear, she didn’t saw the fight but as far as she knew Dimitri was someone very strong and he now was defeated; if he couldn’t resist , what if a stronger enemy of some sort appeared and she couldn’t do anything? Her anguish turned into something else as she thought that she didn’t have anything else or anyone who would cry for her if she died; the only one that loved her was her grandmother and now that important person had passed away. Her father, on the other side, was too busy with his new possession named Faustine; after her biological mother died, he married Faustine. The woman was a rich one and her personality was a horrible one, she could be defined as a person who didn’t care about others if they were not in her same social level and now she had to face her once again.

“She was the reason for me leaving with my grandmother…that wo..” She said in a whisper not noticing that the vampire was moving. He seemed to be hallucinating or something of that kind because of the strange names he called. Saga noticed his fever had increase and that level was dangerous; she thought about bringing some cold water and she did; anyway when she was about to place it on the vampire’s forehead, the bowl in which the water was, flew away.

“I don’t want to take a bath mother…not now…” Dimitri said in a low voice. The girl thought about acting as his mother so his fever could decrease in a fast way, she began to talk in a low voice too, acting as best as she could.

“But, dear, if you take the bath late at night, then you could get ill…we must do that now”

“I don’t want to…please?”

“I’m sorry but I can’t accept a negative answer …”

“….You are not really her are you?” It seemed Dimitri had noticed her; however he was still talking in his dreams, maybe if she continue the conversation it would help.

“No..I’m not your mother”

“I miss her sometimes…she cared about me in a sweet way, now I feel alone most of the time…”

“But, what about Sophia and Elizabeth and me..do you feel lonely still?”

“I won’t answer that..” Dimitri move a little and then felt asleep again, Saga took the advantage and place some cold water in his forehead; after some minutes, Dimitri suddenly wake up. Saga was surprised.

“What happened?” He asked

“You fainted after the battle…I think it was the poison…”

“I’m sorry if I make you worry about me” He noticed the water and knew what she had done for him.

“It..it was nothing…”

Dimitri stood up and approach her, he kneeled and kissed her hand in a gentle way
“Thank you”.

“After all..my job is to take care about you…” Saga said in a cold way; on the other hand Dimitri laughed and exit the place but before he left he said “Rest some hours, you look tired and I don’t want you to look tired for the ceremony… I want to walk for some time”

--------------------//------------------

Certainly, the resting worked on Saga; she was returning to be the lively girl she was. When they arrived at the ceremony, Dimitri could see that Saga wasn’t very comfortable, he thought it was Faustine’s fault and he corroborate that when she and her father came to talk to them. Before they arrived Dimitri asked the girl if they knew about her work, her answer was a NO.

“I’m so sorry about your lost dear” Faustine said, she was faking the emotion, maybe she thought the fortune the grandmother had would pass to her new husband, she was anxious and enjoying the moment.
Saga stared at them and kept quiet watching the coffin. “So who is he? Could he be your husband dear?” Saga’s father got shocked about that hypothesis and wanted an answer as soon as possible.

“Excuse me Madam” Dimitri grabbed and kissed her hand “ I’m only a close friend of hers, she is currently living with us and I wanted to be of some company in this hard moment”

“It seems you are a man of a high class…could you tell me your name?”

“It must be a pleasure, I’m the noble Dimitri Bachelier”

“I’m afraid I don’t know your last name..maybe it isn’t very recognized after all…” Faustine said as she giggled; she was trying to make Dimitri feel bad, however he was not going to let that happened.

“It’s better that way, knowing a person like you wouldn’t be very pleasant and excuse me Madam but if you are not going to ask something that is important, then we’ll have to leave.. Saga..shall we go?” Erebi laughed with Faustine’s expression when they left, she kept quiet and her husband laughed, he then received a slap on his face.

On the side of Saga, she kept thinking just one thing: “Why did he said a friend….” She was quiet and somehow depressed.
