“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry… You’re mad at me for putting you and your family at risk aren’t-“

“It has nothing to do with that.” Xavier interrupted.

“Then why…? Why can’t we continue to stay as husband and wife…? Why do we have to end things?” She asked raising her head and staring at him in the eyes her teary sparkly crimson eyes

In that moment, Xavier looked away, avoiding her eyes before letting out a sigh.

“I never said we had to end things… I just said it’d be better to end things… We don’t have to.”

“Do you want to…?” Sangrea asked, still staring at him.

Xavier slowly glanced back over at her, making eye contact and noticing that even whilst sad, she was determined to know at least that.

“I don’t… I don’t want to end things with us.” He muttered as backed his head against the floor and covered his eyes with his elbow.

“Then don’t! You promised didn’t you? That we’d be together…”

Xavier didn’t recall ever saying anything of the sort but based on her expression he could tell she was referring to something of their childhood.

“Alright… I won’t leave you…” He muttered as he pulled her in closer, stroking her silver hair on the back of her head as he did so.

In that position with Sangrea’s trembling figure and warmth resting over him, the two hugged. Xavier could feel a pair of incredibly soft melons pushing against his chest sending his mind a drift.

“You promise…?” She asked, snapping him out of his trance.

“Yeah… I promise.” Xavier responded with a caring smile.

Sangrea’s eyes grew brighter, her teary expression slowly shifted from that of sadness to a mixture of joy and happiness.

“To make your pretty wife cry like this…” She muttered as she slowly got up. “Xavi… You’re mean…” She added as she began to wipe her tears.

Watching her wipe her tears, Xavier could feel something shift within him.

“Hey… Sangrea…” He called out.

“Xavi..?” She responded with a confused look after wiping away her tears.

At that moment Xavier, grabbed a hold of the back of her head and pulled her in. Before she could even react, the two’s lips were sealed.

*Smooch*

Sangrea’s face instantly turned to a vibrant shade of red, her mind began to spin around in surprise. Xavier had embraced her preventing her from moving away as the two locked lips.

This time Xavier had taken the offense, he sucked up her upper lip and lightly licked her bottom lip until she opened her mouth. When she did, he quickly slid his tongue inside as their mouths connected.

Just like Sangrea, Xavier was an inexperienced kisser, but he had technique. And as they kissed, their horrible technique slowly got better as Sangrea followed Xavier’s lead.

They could feel each other’s warmth and heart beating rapidly as they pressed their bodies against one another.

‘It tastes sweet…’ They shared the thought.

For just this one moment, in Xavier’s eyes. Sangrea’s inhuman beauty was the only thing he could see. He couldn’t take his mind off of her.

Once they parted lips, their quiet pants filled the room as they caught their breaths. Sangrea’s already red face from the kiss suddenly grew even redder as she noticed something different.

Looking down while still on top of him, a cheeky grin grew on her face as she muttered.

“Xavi… Something’s poking me…”

Xavier knew exactly what she was referring to, and in no way did he care about hiding it. It was the opposite in fact.

“Wha-“

Xavier suddenly grabbed Sangrea, flipping her over to the side before being the one to get on top. As he held himself over sexy figure with his arms, a very familiar feeling began to surge up from within him.

Lust. But this time it was far more powerful than usual, whether it was due to Sangrea’s increased charms, or Xavier’s emotional surges which came with his evolutions, Xavier didn’t know.

But it didn’t matter. Xavier wanted to devour Sangrea right then and there, in a different sense.

“Is that better…?” Xavier asked.

Although his bulge had stopped poking her, Sangrea could now get a clear view of the bulge sticking out of his pants from his position over her.

“You didn’t have to move… I never said that It was bad…” She muttered as she looked away to the sides with the same flustered look.

In that moment, an explosion went off in the back of Xavier’s head. He lost all and any sense of reasoning.

Right as he was about to push her down once again however- He felt it. The feeling of someone watching them.

Both Xavier’s and Sangrea’s head instantly swung to the side, their eyes showing a red glowing glint as they stared at the corner of the room.

In the corner of the room was a mirror. And in that mirror, they could see only their figures.

‘Did we… Imagine that?” Xavier wondered.

Sangrea on the other hand continued to stare at the mirror with a confused look. Then, as if he she realised something- A desparate look appeared on her face as she moved to push Xavier off of her.

*VZWOOOM!*

But it was too late. Before she could, a bright blinding light flashed across the room.

And just like that, their figures vanished from the room without a trace.

–

–

–

Xavier’s eyes snapped open, beneath him was Sangrea in the exact same position as before but the rest was different.

The floor around them was no longer covered in blood, the scent of blood was completely gone.

Xavier and Sangrea looked around with confused faces only to widen their eyes after scanning their surroundings.

A giant white cubic room with black stripy lines running all across it. The walls of the room, Shards of glass reflecting their faces and body floating in the air around the room. Upon a closer inspection, they could see some shards showing separate images of different places and people.

‘Those are… Vampires?’

“Where are we?” Xavier asked as he glanced over at Sangrea.

She seemed to somewhat understand the severity of the situation based on how worried she looked.

“The mirror dimension.” She responded.

A confused expression panned over Xavier’s face.

“The mirror dimension?” He repeated.

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*

At that moment, his attention was drawn by the sound of clapping coming from behind him.

Turning to the source, Xavier could see but a single Vampire.

He had spiky Short Mouse grey, pointed ears and crimson red eyes resting behind a pair of round circular glasses. He wore the Vampire’s night blue uniform and had numerous badges on it.

Xavier didn’t know who he was but based on the badges and the presence he gave off, he was clearly high ranked.

Xavier didn’t expect to find one of the Vampires at the very top of the ranking to appear to be as old as him. That being said, Vampires are granted eternal youth so it’s not entirely unexpected.

“Despite never being in the mirror dimension, you instantly recognised it. Impressive as always, Sangrea Redblood.” Said the young man.

“It’s easy to make out what’s happening with how many rumours circulate around… A Noble able to drag people into an entirely different dimension filled with mirrors. The only one able to enter and bring people into this dimension is you, isn’t it? Wolfram Eldon.”

Wolfram Eldon, of the Eldon family, one of the very few families of dukes in England. Xavier was unaware of this fact, but Sangrea was.

A grin grew on the young man’s face as he heard this.

“You know quite a lot about me despite this being our first time meeting.” He said.

“Who wouldn’t?” Sangrea replied as she slowly got up from beneath Xavier.

Based on her expression Xavier could tell it wasn’t an enemy to take lightly.

“Then, you should already know that you have no chance of surviving right?” He asked with a smile. “You’ve entered my domain after all.”

Upon saying those words, all of the mirror shards floating around suddenly merged together, forming a giant mirror in the ceiling above their heads.

As the mirror reflected their figures, cold sweat poured beside Sangrea’s face as she stepped in front of Xavier, standing her ground.

“Yeah, I know. No enemy has ever survived unscathed after entering your mirror dimension. .”

“Yet you still wish to stand before me?”

“Well you’re here for me… What choice do I have? To think they’d send someone of your level to me instead of my father.”

The young man let out a sigh.

“Your Father is the Arch duke, it’d take all the Dukes teaming up to kill him and right now they have their hands busy.”

“And I think you’re misunderstanding something. I don’t care about the order to kill you. I’m not here for you, I’m here for him.” Said the Duke as he pointed at Xavier.

Sangrea’s expression grew cold as she heard this. Her shadow began to distort and expand even in the mirror dimension.

“What business do you have with my man-“

Sangrea was interrupted by Xavier who suddenly placed his hand over her shoulder to calm her down.

“Based on the way the conversation is going, you must be a duke right? So, what do you want with me?” Xavier asked coldly while staring at his energy bar.
