Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman
Chapter 235 A Reunion Of Lovers

Minutes before Rex woke up, a black shadow appeared in his window.

Like a black guardian angel, this black shadow had been visiting this room for the past 2 months and 2 weeks without a day of rest in-between.

Despite all the measures that were employed by the Berserk Gang to protect the gang leader and detect intruders, this black shadow was not detected.

'He's still unconscious huh? When will you wake up Rex?'

As she thought, the black shadow suddenly noticed movement in the bed.

In a milli-second, her hand was already on her sword hilt as her eyes narrowed, changing into those of a snake as she glared at the bed. On looking closer, her aura became gentler as she saw Rex shifting slightly in the bed.

"Achoo…!" Rex woke up with a loud sneeze then he grabbed his chest.

The next moment, he grabbed his head. "Ouch…, my brain f*cking hurts!"

"…" The black shadow stared speechlessly as black lines filled her face.

Whoosh!

The next moment, she disappeared from the window and appeared beside the bed. Rex almost got the heart attack that took his life.

"Whoa…! Who's there?"

"Shh…, it's me, don't attract your subordinates".

"Who's me? I know no shadow of death!"

Bonk!

"…" Rex paused as his face turned purple in pain.

"Shout again and I'll skin you alive! Don't attract your subordinates!" The black shadow grabbed him by the cheek and stressed into his ears.

By now, Rex already knew who this was as tears flowed down his face.

"Cassandra…, my head f*cking hurts…" He fought back his tears as he tried to force himself to stand up on the bed only to be pushed back.

"Why do boys always try to act so tough? It's foolish". She grabbed him on the cheek again. "You're just waking up from a 2 months coma, rest on the bed!"

Rex's eyes widened in shock. "2-2 months?"

"Yes, now rest". Cassandra pressed him back in the bed.

This time, Rex obeyed as he suppressed the pain and laid silently on the bed like the words hit him hard. Just a second later, he turned his head to face her again.

"But Cassandra, when did you change, you were not so fierce?" Tears flowed again only for Cassandra to pinch him on the cheek again.

"People change dumb, you also changed, who knew that shy boy who preferred lizardry hunting to loving girls could lead a gang one day?"

"…" Rex scratched his head. "Umm…, well never mind".

For the next minute after this, an awkward silence stretched in the room as Rex looked at the other side while hugging his pillow, Cassandra stared speechlessly at him as she had a sudden urge to bonk him on his aching head again.

The next moment, she sneakily looked around to confirm that nobody was watching her, the reputation of the Snake Empress must not be sullied.

After confirming that no one watched, she finally sneaked into the bed.

As soon as she entered, Rex turned and hugged her in a cuddle.

Cassandra froze at his actions. "You've changed…, you've turned bolder".

"Well, like you said, people change". Rex smiled. "But seriously, I've missed you, it feels good to have you back".

Cassandra was about to say a Snake Empressy word of bravado before she paused, then she hugged Rex's hands. "You too". She replied softly.

For the first time in a year, Cassandra dropped the mask of the warrior queen that she wore, for the first time, she abandoned the identity of the Snake Empress and let herself remain vulnerable in Rex's arms.

Ironically, this was their first time cuddling since young Rex never had the boldness to ask for it. She was glad that he finally changed.

Both of them stayed like that simply enjoying each other's presence for 2 hours before Rex finally whispered into her ear. "Tell me about everything that happened after I fainted".

Cassandra smiled. "Well, I'll start by saying that you exceeded my expectations, your success was far beyond anything that I ever imagined".

"I believe I can convince the others to sponsor your gang now".

"Yeah, thanks".

Bonk!

"Ouch…" Rex grabbed his head as he put on a grievant expression on his face. "My head hurts, why did you hit me?"

"You don't say thanks to your lover dumb, you kiss her".

"Oh…" Rex scratched his head. "Sorry, my bad".

Rex didn't know why, probably because he unlocked the Ultimate Rage State or because he became the leader of a gang, or because he was now so strong, or even because they spent so much time apart but he was now so much bolder.

He hugged Cassandra tighter and kissed her on the neck. "Tell me everything, I want to hear everything from your mouth".

"Ok…" Cassandra smiled and started narrating everything that happened.

"Damn, Aragorn is really capable".

Cassandra laughed. "Like I'll leave anybody incapable to be your companion, I've been watching you from the shadows like a ghost".

Rex shuddered. "That's creepy".

"I know". Cassandra laughed again. "Besides, I was shocked to meet Ben".

"Yeah, I met him in the desert stranded, I saved him lol".

Both of them laughed.

The conversation kept on flowing naturally till Rex's exhausted brain could not take it anymore, he fell asleep naturally in the middle of the conversation.

When Cassandra noticed, she didn't say a word, she let him sleep as she also closed her eyes to catch up on some sleep. 'I want to go but he's hugging me, it's wrong to push your lover away right? Ugh…'

'I guess I'll just leave him for 2 more hours before leaving'

'Dumb, enjoy it while it lasts'.

…

8 hours later…

Click!

The door opened with a click as Aragorn entered the room with a nagging Elanor. "Every warrior who was in a coma from the war already woke up, Rex is so weak, he's the only one still in a…" She paused. "coma?"

Elanor's eyes widened in horror as she looked at the bed.

"Ahh…! Rex?!"

Rex jumped from the bed with a startle. "Ahh!!!"

Cassandra took advantage of the commotion to disappear into the shadows, as she escaped, her face was as red as a potato. 'F*ck!"
