Rupert Main Story: Chapter 1

## Episode 1

The knocking sound echoes through the room.

**Spade**: "They're here already."

Spade's hair bristles against the door.

**Mina**: "You know who is coming?"

**Spade**: "Yes, those brothers."

**Mina**: "You mean, Rupert and Alfred...?"

(Are they going to suck my blood again...?)

I am chilled with fear just thinking about it.

I clearly do remember the fact they sucked [my] blood and the fear I felt for those two.

**Mina**: "I don't want to meet them."

I hear a knocking sound again as I mutter those words.

**???**: "Are you still asleep, Mina?"

That gentle voice must be Rupert's.

**???**: "Hey, hurry up and let me in!"

The one having no intention of hiding irritation is Alfred.

**Spade**: "They must be dying to see you, huh?"

**Mina**: "...It's a great honor."

**Spade**: "But, you can't avoid meeting them forever."

**Spade**: "......Hmm, let's see. Just pretend that you've become their belonging."

**Mina**: "Pretend?"

**Spade**: "That's right. Then they shouldn't harm you."

**Spade**: "Listen. Just pretend to be their belonging and find where the Rose Garden is."

**Mina**: "But, how should I pretend to be their belonging...?"

As I remain helpless, I hear a vicious conversation outside.

**Alfred**: "Let's just kick the door open..."

**Rupert**: "Well, doors aren't supposed to be kicked open, but...there are exceptions."

**Alfred**: "Rupert, get out of my way."

**Spade**: "What a hot-tempered man...I guess I do not have much time to explain the details."

**Spade**: "Either one is fine. Just choose one of the brothers and pretend to obey."

**Spade**: "Make sure you listen to what the one you choose says."

**Mina**: "Obey either one. Listen to what he says..."

I go up to the door as I repeat the words.

**Spade**: "Don't mess up."

**Mina**: "Yes, I'll try not to, Spade."

Having nodded to Spade, I open the door before it's kicked open.

I see grumpy Alfred and Rupert smiling in silence when I open the door.

**Alfred**: "...Oh, you were awake. Why didn't you answer us?"

**Rupert**: "It's okay. She opened the door for us."

Rupert smiles at me after he has warned Alfred.

**Rupert**: "We're sorry to burst in on you. We had something to ask you, and we couldn't wait to come here."

## Episode 2

**Mina**: "Something to ask me...?"

**Rupert**: "Yes. We want to know who you love."

(L-love...?)

My mind stops for a moment by the sudden question.

**Alfred**: "You love me, right? Just say that you do."

**Rupert**: "You don't have to lie. All you have to say is that you love me."

Both are persisting to make me say I love them.

(Who I love...?)

<< Option 1: Rupert. >>

**Mina**: "I..."

(They must have come here to check if I became their belonging.)

(And now, they both told me to say I love them...)

(If I had to choose one and pretend to be a belonging...)

As I think, I look at Rupert.

(He looks at least better than the other one, because he's not short-tempered...)

(Even if that smile was a fake...)

**Mina**: "I love...I love Rupert."

I answer, killing my emotion.

**Rupert**: "Mina...!"

Rupert holds my hand tight.

I smile to Rupert, controlling the impulse to shake his hand off.

**Alfred**: "What? I can't believe I failed it..."

Alfred damnably clicks his tongue and glares at Rupert.

**Rupert**: "I'm sorry for you, Alfred."

**Alfred**: "It should have been the first time for you too, Rupert, to turn someone into a vampire. Why on earth did you succeed but not me?"

**Rupert**: "Well, then I guess I just had stronger power than you, Alfred."

**Rupert**: "We should go now, Mina."

Suddenly having my shoulders held, I look up at Rupert in surprise. It doesn't feel comfortable at all [having] my shoulders held, but I endure.

**Mina**: "To where...?"

Rupert stares at me in silence.

**Mina**: "What...?"

**Rupert**: "No, never mind. I knew belongings speak with their own will, but this is the first time to see someone that I sucked blood from to be like this."

**Rupert**: "I'm not used to it yet. I'm sorry to make you surprised."

**Rupert**: "I'm going to the Rose Garden, so will you come with me?"

(The Rose Garden...?)

I feel my heart beat so fast hearing that phrase.

(I didn't think I could go to the Rose Garden so early...)

**Mina**: "Of course, I will."

I give Rupert a big smile.

**Mina**: "Rupert, I have something I want to ask you."
