Samson bowed again, “I shall make it so, m’lord. By the years end, if all goes well, you shall see your borders expanded well beyond what can be seen from your castle walls.” He stood upright again but did not leave yet. “Was there anything else you wished to discuss, m’lord?” Samson did have...

Samson listened to his request and bowed low. "I am at your disposal, my lord." "I understand, my lord. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that you wish to be prepared for the eventuality of war, rather than prevent it. I'm afraid such a display of force has never dissuaded such...

A light tapping on the door preceded and announced Samson's arrival as he entered the lord's chamber. Samson waited on Lord Paldwyn every day; it was his job. Being specifically summoned by Lord Paldwyn wasn't unusual either, except that this was the first time his master had specifically done...

"Think nothing of it, milady." He shook his head dismissively, but he couldn't hide the small smile revealing that her decision had pleased him. He entered the room as well. Over the course of her bath the fire had lowered in the fireplace and had yet to be stoked up, so Samson took it upon...

"You honor me, milady. Perhaps on nights when you are not attending Lord Paldwyn I can come and tutor you." They were paused outside her room, but he continued to hold the door. "It is true, I am steward of castle Kascor and I serve Lord Paldwyn. I am old, and I am a vampire, I have killed my...

Even with fangs, her smile was something to behold and admire. Thus far, she has been a pleasure to serve, and he had to admit that he hoped she would reconsider her relationship to Lord Paldwyn... Having her around as lady of the house would provide a renewed sense of purpose. And... Who...

... No no... not down that path young one... That path leads to death... But then again... that's what she wanted at this point, right? to die again... though not before making her killer pay. Death truly was release for those who cannot escape life. Perceptive as he was, he picked up on the...

He bowed and took his leave so she could enjoy her bath in peace and privacy. Soon after there was a light knocking on the door. With permission a maid will enter baring clothing which she had requested for comfort, she also brought fresh towels and a robe. The maid seemed unresponsive to being...

He led the way down the hall a short ways and down a flight of stairs. Opposite of the direction that Lord Paldwyn had taken her the first time, so the paintings she saw decorating the walls were mostly scenic ones, with a few family portraits of the Paldwyn's extended bloodline here and there...

"His blood does help, but do not undersell yourself. As a fledgeling the hunger is nearly constant and all consuming, it is like trying to fill a bottomless abyss with cups of water. It is good that you show this much restraint early on, it will serve you well in the years to come." He nodded...

He nodded as he stood up, leaning the poker beside the fireplace. "Well, your self-control thus far has been exemplary, as far as your hunger goes. You've refrained from touching the blood. I am afraid I cannot make you miss your old life any less, but should you ever need a listening ear I am...

It wasn't a question and he didn't deem it worthy of an answer... Because honestly all he could do was guess and surmise based on what he knew... Who knows why he wants someone just like his wife who passed away. The answer had equal possibilities to be anything from tragic romance to outright...

"It relieves me to hear that, milady." Not that he thought she could kill him, even with her newfound and untested powers. But he was slowly coming to understand her... She was willing to wait if that's what it took to get what she wanted. Underestimating her wasn't a mistake he would be prone...

He blinked and looked at her in "mild" surprise. "Such language, are you truly a lady? Or was your tutor permissive because of your handicap? In any case, no. I believe he has met others who shared a face with his wife, but you are the first he has successfully turned." He took a deep breath...

"I am happy to be of service." He bowed and took the tray back to the trolley. He paused for a moment, thoughtfully considering. "I suppose I could tell you of him, though perhaps you can tell me what you would like to know about him?" He moved to the window and carefully drew the curtains. The...
