Chapter 337 Glimmer of hope

Vincent dusted his hands against each other, and turned to Eve and remarked, "If your arms are idle and need work, you can come to my room. I am sure I can keep them as busy as you want them to be, than carry that thing in your arms."

This was probably one of the first times Eve had caught the streak of jealousy in Vincent's eyes, and she remarked, "Noted." She then informed in a low voice, "There is something you need to know. Marceline was with Allie's fangs, but Timotei and I switched them to her fangs."

Vincent's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Seems like she has come in touch with a witch to get her fangs back. Good thinking on switching them. I will have someone keep an eye on her at all times."

Eve gave him a nod, "That would be a good idea."

"Looks like the nosey maid isn't here to spy, come with me," Vincent said, catching Eve's hand, and they stepped out of the mansion.

"Where are we going?" Eve asked as she followed him out of the mansion and into the garden.

Vincent turned to look at her and offered her a cunning smile, "A place where it is just you and me. No one else will disturb or interrupt "The plates should be extra clean for tomorrow. I am making sure 23:46

everyone will approve of them," Rosetta enthusiastically stated to us."



Inside the mansion, Rosetta and Eugene were still in the dining room, where the vampiress picked up a plate and rubbed it with the cloth. She looked at Eugene and asked, "Like this?"

"Milady, that is really not needed," Eugene tried to stop the vampiress from working in here. What was she even doing cleaning the already clean plates? He asked himself. Every time she picked up the plate, he felt his chest tighten, worrying about where she would break another one.

"The plates should be extra clean for tomorrow. I am making sure everyone will approve of them," Rosetta enthusiastically stated to him. She said, "When I was young, I used to have this little kitchen toys, and I used to cut the plants and use mud to cook when I was a child," she laughed fondly before she remembered her mother had thrown it the next day.

"Why don't you take a rest and I will finish all the work," Rosetta proposed, and Eugene did what she was doing, wiping the already clean plate as quickly as he could before coming to stand in front of her so that she wouldn't have to do it.

"Lady Rosetta, if someone sees you doing this, I will get into trouble. You have helped me enough for the night," Eugene assured the lady, ready to chase her away.

Rosetta, who noticed this, her shoulders fell, and she asked him in a soft voice, "I don't mean to cause you trouble. I want to be able to unburden your burden, but not with you telling me to not hold any feelings towards you. I promise to try harder…"

Since the last few minutes, Rosetta had tried to move Eugene's emotions and feelings. But she could sense that nothing had changed since she had arrived here.

Eugene pursed his lips, noticing how down the vampiress suddenly looked. He looked at the closed doors of the dining room and said, "Milady, I don't know what you see in me, but I believe I am not the one for you."

"Why?" Rosetta asked him. She had been looking for ways, and maybe he could show her the way.

"If you were to marry me, I have nothing to offer you. Love is part of life, but it isn't life. What will you do when someone you know from high society meets you when you are a servant? They will belittle you for the life you could have, or the life you give up," Eugene tried to make her see the future.

"That will be my choice, isn't it? We can build things from the bottom," Rosetta's hope somewhere made Eugene stare at her.

"If it was that easy, we wouldn't have poverty in our country, would we?" Eugene asked her.

"Do you not believe in love, Eugene?" Rosetta questioned him.

"It isn't about believing, milady," Eugene responded to her. "I know what the future holds. You would do much better marrying someone of your own status and maybe kind. I understand it is hard to think about it now, but you will do well with a secure future without your parents being angry at you, or hunting us down."

Rosetta gave it some thought before she replied, "I will protect you from my parents, Eugene. I will also protect Eve and Lady Aubrey so that no harm comes to you. What is stopping you? Is it the fear for your life, or the hate towards my family? Because if it is the latter, I had no hand in it."

Eugene wondered how to sway the vampiress's mind, who seemed fixated on him. Maybe if he would give her some examples, that could help, he thought. He said,

"Alright. Tomorrow, I am going to mop in the South wing before breakfast will be served in the dining room. You can take over it. Let us see if you have the basic skills."

Rosetta's eyes brightened, and she asked, "Then… does that mean you are willing to consider it?"

"We shall talk about it once you are done with it," Eugene responded, and Rosetta nodded. It wasn't the kind of progress she had hoped for, but the vampiress was ready to grab anything he gave.

Rosetta walked towards the closed doors of the dining room, and she paused her footsteps before turning to look at Eugene with a satisfied smile.

She said, "Thank you, Eugene. For considering me. I have heard that when you love someone, you can move mountains. And regarding your earlier question," she paused for a moment, staring into his black eyes, "People have bad mouthed me even though I am the Marquee's daughter. I don't think I should care what they think if I lower my status for the person I love. Because what matters to me is the one I want to live with."

Something in Rosetta's words struck Eugene and his eyes slightly widened before he gave her a nod, "Goodnight, Lady Rosetta."

"Goodnight, Eugene. I eagerly wait for tomorrow," Rosetta stepped out of the room with a smile.
