-Fein's POV-
"What!? But last time she almost died with just wolves" I raised my doubt.
Lucius chuckled. He had already expected that the young man would react this way.
"Don't worry she has already awakened. And that is thanks to you."
Lucius looked at Fein deeply and gave him a meaningful smile.
Fein was frantically trying to figure out Lucius's words.
'Awakened? What the fuck is that?? Is that related to them being a vampire? So that means when we first met she has not Awakened yet? And what the fuck does that have to do with me? Thanks to me?'
Fein thought that he would get an answer. But his questions earlier were answered with even more questions.
"Well, where she was now?" I decided that it would be easier to get information from Sofia rather than from this Old fox.
"She was in the garden, she was already waiting for you there, Although she is strong now. Be sure to look out for her" Lucius said in a low voice and left.

San Luebisto Kingdom
Vladimir Family's Mansion
Vlad Garden
Fein looked at the entrance of the garden. After constantly asking for directions to the garden from the maids. He finally manage to find it. Thanks to the game map, when he returns he doesn't need to ask again.
His game map needs him to go to the place first. After that, it would scan his surroundings and download them in the form of a digital map.
After he made his way to the entrance. What greeted him was the breeze of the fresh air. His nerves relaxed quickly. He looked at the environment that was full of colorful flowers. There are a lot of rare herbs here that would sell astronomically in the market. A small bird suddenly flew beside him. It has a pinkish feather that has pointed blue dots on it. It has twinkling small emerald eyes that were looking at him. Fein evaluated it as cute and petite in his heart.
Fein curiously looked at the bird that was pecking him.
'Does it want something?'
*Chirp* Chirp* *Chirp*
As he looked closely. The bird was really trying to convey something to him.
"What is it birdie?" Fein patted the bird's head using his fingers gently. "Do you want some food?"
The bird looked at him puzzledly. While still continuing to use its beak to point in the direction.
"Oh, so do you want me to follow?" Fein scratched his head while looking at the bird.
The bird nodded its head vigorously and flew past him. I just decided to follow it to see what it wants to do.
It was constantly changing its direction. Fein finally determined that it was not flying randomly. Because the bird would sometimes look back at him to see if he was following.
Fein was amused by this. After walking in the garden for a while now. He manages to witness the beauty of the garden in its full glory. There are animals here that were living in harmony. Sometimes he would pass by and see wild animals like lions that would look at him with curiosity from to time. He even saw a few bears playing with cheetahs.

-Sofia's POV-
In the center of the garden. Several trees with pink leaves can be seen in full blossom. This is not an ordinary tree as it has a scent that those who smell it subconsciously relax.
A wooden chair could be seen swaying at a snail's pace. And with it was a beautiful melody. It can be judged that the one who always hangs around with this kind of place is a person who likes a serene and calm atmosphere.
Sitting in the chair was a girl that was currently sipping on a coconut shell.
'Why was he still not here yet? Did father tell him some weird things about me?'
I was waiting for Fein to come here. Because it's been a while since our last meeting. I want to show him now that I had the strength to protect myself. Thinking of his face, my heart couldn't help but speed up.
I don't why... But I can't take out his domineering appearance from my mind. The image where he holds a sword and as he protects me behind his back.
I feel my head almost explode after imagining it. I look anxiously at the distance. I ordered my pet Sizi to lead him to me.
Minutes pass by as I was waiting. I finally manage to see the bird that I send out. Behind the bird was a familiar silhouette. A man in a black suit was scanning the surroundings with an indifferent face. He was wearing glasses while fixing the red tie on his neck. His dark irises were particularly eye-catching. As if you look at it, the darkness it has would devour you.
I stared at Fein. I can't help but be mesmerized by his serious demeanor.
I quickly shook my head to push those thoughts away.
'No Sofia! You have to distance yourself from him! What if he learns my secret? Would he still treat me the same way?' A worried expression came to her face.
...
The bird finally stopped. Fein looked curiously around. After scanning the place, he manages to see a familiar person sitting on a chair.
'So it was Sofia' A light of understanding flickered in Fein's eyes.
As he looked at her... He couldn't help but notice unfamiliar characteristics in her. He focuses his degu energy on his eyes to strengthen his eyesight.
Finally, he manage to see her appearance which was different from the last.
'So this should be the effect of awakening?'
Sofia wore a corset with a color combination of black and red.
Fein first notice her scarlet irises that were sparkling like a gem. Her skin was paler than before but it gave her a snow-white appearance. As he scanned her face further, he noticed that her baby fats which now gave her a sexier vibe rather than the silly appearance she has when they met first.
'Did she just suddenly became more beautiful?' A thought suddenly passed through his head before quickly brushing it off.
He used his probe into her.
