report all night. Of course he felt betrayal but this act of devotion for their trimmest assignment eased his urge for an explanation. Sleeping like an angel he could simply not bring himself to wake her up just yet, thus he decided to have his breakfast in his room as reading what she wrote. The whole suite was chilli so before leaving her he took the initiative to throw his coat on her so she wouldn't freeze.
    In the late afternoon when everyone had had a reasonable amount of sleep Venus went towards Edwards room, she knocked softly three hits on the cheery wood door. “Come in!” said Edward. She went in as she made her way closer to him, he stated “The report is brilliant!”
    Venus sat on the chair beside him and began with “Edward what do you remember of last night.” Tears began forming on her cheeks “Do you remember what I told you before you left?”
    “You do not need to speak of it now.”
    Relieved Venus took Edwards hand. “I was terribly worried!” She exclaimed.
    “Let's go for a walk.” s uggested Edward.
    The gazing sunshine reflected on the luminescent waters of the Sienna. Gazing down at the magnificent boats sailing under the bridge they walked upon, both made their way into a park. Venus seeing an bench hurried over to sit on it, Edward initially did the same, and sat next to he r. “You have a right to know!” s tarted Venus spontaneously. “Though all I am about to say will sound absurd to you, here how it begins: What roams this world is separated into two categories, though both are technically living there are the mortals and the immortals as...”
    “...Mr. Dubois?” a dded Edward.
    Venus nodded and continued. “Few of your specie are apparently aware of what this means .”
    “So you're basically saying that we're all going to be eaten.”
    “Yes, thank you for expressing your opinion on the matter in such a frank fashion.” Venus stood up but before she had the chance to leave Edward took her hand and apologised.
    “Please excuse me, do stay I wasn't trying to vex you.”
    Venus accepted and sat once again. “Alright, to continue the usual immortals have to keep their flesh alive by killing mortal, by sucking their life force out.”
    “So in addition of being held captive by my female classmate in a foreign country, s he going to murder Me.” h e said with a fearful expression darted on his face.
    “Don't be ridicules, I am the exception, well let’s say I'm the only immortal I know of who doesn't need to feed.”
    Edward seemed to relax after hearing the news “I thought Mr. Dubois was rather strange, I presume this explains everything.”
    “Loui s made a pact with the devil.” s tated Venus.
    “Who's Louis?”
    “Haven't you made the connection yet, there is no Mr. Dubois. He who you refer to was the last king of France.”
    “You can't be ser ious?” q uestioned Edward.
    “When he was guillotined his spirit was judged to be impure so obviously he went to the underworld. There he made a pact with the devil to be restored in his human form to ride the earth once more. Of course there is a price to pay, this is why he was to nourish himself upon others, or else his body will degrade and his soul would vanish eternally.”
    Edward couldn't help but notice how she glistened with charm as she spoke of the complex horror of the situation. “By curiosity, how did you ever meet him?” Ask Edward.
    “I believe I met him, when he was still quite young, yes at his wedding ceremony. At the time I impersonated a princess which I use to take care of till her sweet beautiful death of old age arrived. She cared so much for me and constantly exclaimed that I fascinated her that she took me in as her daughter. Therefor all her lands were ledged to me.” She took a long breath before continuing “Therefor with the title I was invited to the royal wedding, our friendship began and with that I had access to all the royal secrets which passionate me enormously.
