Once she had got her blood tablets she practically ran to her room in case Kaname was still hanging about. She shut her door behind her and sighed with relief before walking over to her dresser. She sat down on the white cushioned leather seat. She realised why Kaname had thought that Rido had hurt her, her makeup was smudged and her hair was messy. She sighed and took off her jewellery and wiped her makeup away.
She was about to undo her dress when there was a knock at her door. She huffed annoyed, who wanted her now? Rido must be mad if he wanted to do more with his family being here, they had been lucky before but now he was really pushing his luck. Ran smirked to herself before opening the door. Kaname was standing there, Ran quickly wiped the smirk off her face. Why couldn't he just leave her alone? It was starting to feel like she was being stalked.
"Can I help you Kaname?" She almost hissed at him. Kaname smiled, she looked just as beautiful without makeup.
"You dropped this in the ballroom." He handed her clutch bag to her. She gave him a small smile and thanked him as she took it from him.
"You could have given it to a maid to pass on. There was no need for you to come all this way." She told him. "But thank you again." She added as she was about to close the door. Kaname blocked the door with his foot. She looked up at him shocked and slightly frightened.
"Be careful of Rido. It would be a shame if you were to get hurt." He warned her. "But I think he's already done that." He added, his voice turning cold.
"Kaname please leave." She told him without looking at him.
"Ran I know something is going on. Tell me." He ordered and Ran shook her head.
"Leave before you get me into trouble." She ordered back at him. Kaname raised an eyebrow at her tone.
"How would I get you in trouble?" He asked inquisitively.
"Rido has told me to keep away from you, I disobeyed him once and look at how that went. I don't want trouble." She explained and Kaname finally let her shut her door in his face. Kaname frowned and walked away. Rido must be scaring her into submission, he was almost sure of it now.
Ran took a deep breath, holding the clutch bag close to her. She quickly changed into a silk red nightgown that stopped at her knees. She brushed her hair free of tangles before settling down in her bed.
Rido sat at his desk when Kaname stormed into his study again. Rido sighed irritated and looked up at him. This was getting old now.
"What now?" Rido growled at him.
"What did you do to Ran?" Kaname roared.
"I haven't done anything." Rido said waving him off and Kaname narrowed his eyes at him.
"Then why does she look like she's been roughed up?! Why has she been crying?!" Kaname demanded answers. Rido rolled his eyes, of course, Kaname would think he was hurting her. He was sure that Kaname was still a virgin, saving himself for marriage, the naive little boy. He wouldn't be able to tell that the wrinkled clothes and messy hair were from sexual fun. Then another thought came to Rido's mind. How did he know what she looked like after she left his study? Rido was now glaring at Kaname.
"I told you it was inappropriate to enter a young lady's chambers." Rido hissed at him.
"I didn't." Kaname told him through gritted teeth. "I was by the kitchen, waiting for some wine when she came down to get some blood tablets." He informed his uncle. Kaname was going to leave out that he had in fact gone to her room. He wasn't sure how Rido would react towards Ran. He knew that he could fight Rido if he attacked but he couldn't be sure that Ran would be safe once they all left.
"She must have been having her way with one of the male servants then." Rido tried to say as if the thought didn't anger him. He knew she never would but he was hoping the thought would make Kaname back down if he thought she slept around. It was clear that she had caught the Prince's attention. Kaname laughed at Rido.
"Rido you demand loyalty even when you don't return it." Kaname pointed out once he had calmed down. Rido almost kicked himself, Kaname knew him too well. "You would have gotten rid of her a long time ago if she was." He added. "If I find out you are hurting her in anyway Rido, you will be sorry." He hissed at him before walking away. Rido glared at Kaname's back.
The next day Rido had found out that the royal family hadn't gone home from the ball. They had decided to stay. Kaname had caused Juri to panic about Ran's welfare. They were all sitting down at the large dining table, apart from Ran, she had yet to come down. The oak table almost stretched the length of the room. It could easily sit ten people each side. They were waiting for breakfast to be served when Juri spoke up.
"So Rido, would you like to explain to us who Ran is. Kaname has told me some things about her." She ordered trying hard not snap at him. Rido glared at Kaname and Yuki looked around uncomfortably, she didn't know what to do when they were fighting with Rido.
"She is a pureblood and orphan." Rido told them as food was served alongside blood tablets. He really wasn't in the mood to deal with them. Then again, he was hardly ever in the mood to deal with them.
"An orphan? Poor girl." Juri said softly, more so to herself, Rido glared at her. Yuki also looked shocked and visibly upset by the news. Rido's eyes moved to Yuki, no doubt that girl would try to comfort Ran even though she didn't need it. Yuki was too soft to be a pureblood let alone a vampire. Juri and Haruka had been too soft on the girl, she wasn't worthy of her title. If she was Rido's daughter, he would have killed her by now, she was weak. He even considered her too weak to be a human.
"You're not taking her in, she's too old to be mothered." Rido snapped at his sister. Juri looked at him in shock.
"I wasn't going to do that." She hissed back at him once she had gotten over the shock. Haruka gently placed a hand on his wife's shoulder.
"We're just concerned about her brother." Haruka said with a sigh. "Kaname explained Ran's appearance after what happened in the ballroom." He explained. "He also said that you had ordered her to keep away from him as well." He added.
"I did tell her that. I do not wish to lose her loyalty." Rido told them with assuage.
"What happened after the ballroom incident?" Haruka asked.
"I had a word with her and then sent her to her quarters." Rido told them as he took a sip of his blood tablets mix. He understood why they thought the worse of him but they were his family, they could have at least given him the benefit of the doubt. Kaname was poisoning his family, he wished he had never awoken the damned man.
"Ow!" A shout startled everyone but Rido who just sighed and called for a servant. "Stupid table!" They all heard Ran clearly shout.
"Get her a black coffee and send someone to guide her in before she brakes something." Rido told the servant who nodded. Soon another servant came out of the kitchen and walked out of the dining room.
A few seconds later he came back with Ran, holding onto her elbow, letting it go as they neared the table. Ran was wearing a dark red skirt that ended just above the knee, a black baggy jumper that was clearly two sizes too big for her and pink fluffy slippers. Kaname noticed the large black bruise on her leg that was slowly disappearing, she must have hit the table with quite some force. He had also noticed the two scars on her leg. One scar was curved on her knee and the other was a straight line running down her shin.
They could have only been caused by vampire hunter weapons. He frowned, wondering if it was something to with her being an orphan. He hadn't noticed them at the ball, then again scars could be hidden by makeup and thick flesh coloured tights. They watched her as she blanked them all, walking past Rido's chair towards the kitchen. Rido signalled for them to stay quiet. Haruka and Juri glared at the girl who had failed to address them. "Your coffee is being made, sit down." Rido told her and she quickly turned around. The servant quickly grabbed her elbow to stop her from colliding with Rido's chair. Rido held back a chuckle while the others looked at her stunned. The servant led her to her chair.
A second later her coffee was placed in front of her and she quickly took a sip. "Ran look around." Rido told her. She looked at him puzzled and then looked down the table. She squeaked and quickly stood up, bowing her head as low as she could. Kaname wasn't sure how she had managed to avoid knocking her chair over or hitting herself on the table as she stood with such speed.
"My apologises your majesties for my rudeness and attire." She said quickly, looking down. "I did not realise you were here." She added.
"How could you not?" Haruka asked affronted.
"She doesn't wake up very well." Rido answered before she could. "Sit Ran." He then ordered. She quickly sat down, looking down at her coffee. Juri blinked at him, trying to understand.
"You mean she's like this every morning?" Juri asked curiously and Rido nodded.
"Well, that's another fact we've learned." Haruka stated slightly unimpressed. Ran's head snapped up.
"Learnt about me, Lord Haruka?" Ran inquired slightly uncertain about what had been said about her.
"We asked Rido about you." Juri explained and Ran glared at Rido. Juri looked at her baffled, why would she be bothered about that? "He told us you are a pureblood." She added before looking at Ran with soft eyes. "And that you have lost your parents."
Ran suddenly stood up and walked out of the room with her coffee. Rido sighed as he watched her leave. They had to open their mouths...
"Move, you idiots!" They heard her shouting at servants. Juri and the others looked at Rido with unease. Juri hadn't meant to upset her, the loss must have been quite recent.
"It's still upsetting for her." Rido gave them a brief explanation, he didn't want to go into detail.
"Should someone go after her?" Yuki asked worried and Rido shook his head. He couldn't stand the sight of such a weak vampire.
"Only if you want to face her anger." Rido told her and sipped his drink. "She blames herself for not being strong enough to save them." He explained with a sigh. They all fell silent, listening to Ran shouting at servants that had gotten in her way.
