Chapter 239 - 239 New Members of the Family

Hermes' eyes light up and he looks at Micheal. "I know that this store means the world to you but…"

"Hold that thought." Micheal placed his finger on Hermes' lips. "The store is not what means the world to me. It is you that is my world. I liked doing this as long as I am with you. If there is something else that you would like to do then I am all for trying it. This was a good way to make a little extra money but you know that I am willing to move on. Besides a secret wedding?! Like yes please, I want to go!"

"Welcome aboard then." Yuki picked up the teacup and took a sip. "You altered the recipe from what I had in the memory. I like this very much. I would like for you to make more for me. But I still need another tea set. It is for a supernatural…" She looks at Cedric and hears ~You can say her name.~ in her head so she nods. "I would like tea for Elena."

"Elena is back as well? Well isn't this amazing. If Elena is back then what about Nao?" Hermes looks around and walks to the wall and pulls down a floral tea. This is what Elena would love." He turns and looks at Micheal, "Since you are on board we will take you up on the offer when will you take back the castle and when is the wedding?"

"I was thinking on the night of the new moon. Which is only a time away and it will be in the castle and that is when we will take over the castle. We can't do it on the full moon as Claude had to be there as the stand-in for Ryan." Cedric was still standing behind her with his lips touching the nape of her neck.

"Nao is already with us. I do not remember Elena but I am sure when I met her in person a memory may flare?" Yuki turns and wraps her arms around his neck, "We are in public you should behave… Master."

Hermes lifts up an eyebrow at the name and shakes his head. 'It makes sense that he would find her in such a place.' He adds the tea to the rest on the counter. "I will send you away with some blood tea. I will not charge you for it and we will be there. I will contact Claude for the details and we will pack up and get ready to enter the castle once more."

"This is just so exciting. I did not think that I would be able to get into a real castle. There is nothing more exciting than seeing where your loved one once worked." Micheal jumped into Hermes' arms and kissed his cheek. "I knew that you were different but I never asked a lot of questions and now I am glad that I did not. It must have been hard on you."

Cedric pulled out his card to pay but Hermes shook his head. "There will be no charge. I can not take away money that could be used on the princess. Micheal, wrap up the tea."

Cedric shook his head, "If you will not let me pay for the tea then I will repay you with an interesting picture." His eyes shone and he was smirking.

Looking up at Cedric she let him go and went to the counter and sipped on the tea. "I knew that you were planning something with those chocolates! I will not ruin your fun but I want to see this reaction as well."

"Ah! I get what you are up to now." Hermes picked up a business card and wrote two cell numbers on the back of the card. Contact me or Micheal when you know where you want us to go. (I will accept the picture as an exchange and if it is not too much trouble one of all three girls."

"I will do that. There are some new people in the brigade. I will have to introduce you. You can take the secret exit into the castle and start settling in. I believe the place can use a deep clean." Cedric took the card and placed it in his wallet and took the bag from Micheal. "Thank you for this."

"No, thank you for inviting us. I can not wait to move to a new place. I am a fantastic cook so if you do not mind I could help in that aspect." Micheal smiles and looks at Yuki drinking her tea.

Yuki placed the teacup down gently and closed her eyes. She turned and looked at Cedric. "I need…" Her eyes opened slowly and the red silver was mixed in her eyes.

Cedric closed the doors and with magic blocked the window so that no one could see in. He sat down on a chair and held out his hand and waited until she took it. "Sorry, this might not be pleasant for you Micheal.

Yuki took his hand and climbed onto his l.a.p and pulled his shirt down exposing the nape of his neck. She licked the spot and her fangs throbbed. She bit into the flesh and started to drink.

Hermes went about moving the teas around and into boxes. While ignoring what was going on as if it was an everyday thing for him and it really was something that he was used to. The number of times he had seen them in the past was enough that was afraid a bond would form before it was time.

"Wha… this is a first to me," Micheal whispered to Hermes. "I notice that Cedric only said sorry to me but not you. Is that because you all know each other from the past?"

"I had seen this so many times in the past. I lived with vampires and this was a daily thing. I will explain it to you on the trip over to our new home and as for you cooking that is a marvellous idea. There is not a lot of need for vampires to eat but Yuki will eat to amuse you and Claude will finish everything and still ask for more. Help me pack up. We leave in the morning."

Yuki drank her fill and sealed the bite marks and got off Cedric's l.a.p. She looked over at Hermes and Micheal. "You two are soulmates. I can see that your souls are like two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together but Hermes life is longer because of our selfishness."

"No, Princess, that is not because of your selfishness but because of my own. I decided that I would stay. I am not a vampire but Luna and Ryan's blood runs through my veins enhancing me and extending my life and I am glad that I did it. I wouldn't change it and you do not need to fret about the past." Hermes looks at Yuki and then at Micheal.

"I knew that you were old and that you aged slowly but I never cared to ask how. I want to stay with you but you are not immortal but with a vampire's blood in your veins, you are a little harder to kill. I am grateful that I can spend time with you." Micheal looks at Hermes and bends down on one knee, "Princess is it possible to become like Hermes."

"Since you are agreeing to become a part of my family there is a chance you may outlive Hermes as I will not offer him more blood. His life can only be extended for a total of five hundred years. It has been two hundred and fifty years already?" Yuki looked at Micheal then at Hermes.

"Two hundred and fifty-seven years, Princess. It is okay to extend his life. When I pass at least I know he will be in good hands." Hermes bows ninety degrees towards her.

"Then it shall be done." Yuki took her nails and sliced her wrist and opened Michael's mouth and let a dozen drops fall into his mouth.

Getting up, Cedric got up and licked the blood that was coming out of the wound. As he cleaned her skin the wound healed as he enjoyed a small taste of her. ��There now you are under our care. Both of you are. I am sure that you can get to your location on your own and get in as you both carry the royal's blood. We will meet again but I will take Yuki back to collect the chocolates and then we will go back to our vacation."

"Ah and the hour of light is coming in four hours so you must make haste as she will fall asleep." Hermes walks up to Micheal as he is still kneeling and a little frozen in place. "Are you okay, Love?"

Micheal snaps out of it, stands up and hugs Hermes. Now I can spend the rest of your long life with you and not the next seventy-five years. I am just so happy that you can not imagine how my thoughts are. I am thankful for all of this." Micheal snaps his fingers and some boxes fold up and the tea starts to fill the boxes.
