Chapter 268 [Bonus chapter] Late Night Dinner It had been hours since Rudy and Jane started their session, and both of them had orgasmed multiple times. They continued without having any sense of time, and when they stopped, it was already past midnight.
"Should we bathe again?" Jane asked while fixing her clothes.
"Nah, it's fine." Rudy sniffed Jane before kissing her and said, "I like your smell."
Jane sniffed Rudy and said, "You smell a lot like me too."
"That's a plus then. It will help me hide my human scent."
"True."
Rudy placed his hand on his stomach and said, "Do you think I can get any food in the dining hall?"
"I am not sure. But let's go there." Jane dragged Rudy's hand and walked him to the royal dining hall.
"Are you hungry too?" Rudy asked calmly.
"I drank a lot of your blood, so I don't feel that hungry. But I do want to eat with you." She smiled at him and added, "It would be like a candlelight dinner, right?"
"I am surprised you know what that is. But this is not the first time I have seen a human custom in this world."
"You can say there are many common things."
Jane and Rudy reached the hallway of the dining hall, and the lights were on for some reason.
'Is someone inside?' he wondered. 'I wouldn't mind running into a royal or a noble.'
He smirked.
However, when they reached the door, it was empty with leftovers and dirty plates on the dining table.
'Tch! It seems I missed them again. But well, I will meet them sooner or later.' Rudy had promised Jane that he wouldn't do anything to the royals or the nobles, and he was going to fulfill that promise.
However, things could change if 'they' start a drama. Rudy could base everything out as self-defense and clean some trash.
Rudy glanced at Jane and asked, "Is it normal for the lights to be on?"
"It's not unusual, I guess…" she muttered.
They entered the dining hall and checked the pot casseroles.
"Hmm. It's not enough, but this will do…" he muttered.
"Are you sure?" Jane asked with an anxious look on her face. "I am not hungry, so I will just watch you. But if you want more, then I can order the maids to make some dishes for you."
"Do the vampires sleep at night?"
"Yes," she nodded in response.
"Then, it's fine. I don't want to wake the maids. They are probably tired after working all day."
Rudy sat on the chair and pushed all the dirty plates away. He stacked them in one place and pulled the pots close to him using telekinesis.
Jane smiled at him and rubbed her hand on his head before saying, "This kindness inside you is warm. I like how you worry about the people you don't even know."
"I am not worried about them. I am just being mature." Rudy shrugged and said, "For example, if there was no food available, I would have asked you to wake them up."
"Hmm… fair…" Jane grabbed one pot and noticed the food was cold. "Do you want me to heat them up?"
Rudy raised his brow with an amused look on his face and asked, "Have you ever actually stepped a food in a kitchen?"
"It's not, actually. I can't recall how many times I have messed up."
"Then will you eat cold food?" Jane bit her lips and said, "I will call the maids, after all."
"There is no need." Rudy raised all the pots in the air using telekinesis and used pyrokinesis over them to heat the pots.
"See?" he said with a grin on his face.
Jane gave up with a sigh and sat on the chair beside Rudy while he enjoyed his meal.
A few minutes later, Niti walked into the hall and saw Jane and Rudy.
"Princess?" she muttered with a surprised look on her face. "What are you doing here too late?"
"Come on, Niti. What does one do in the dining hall?"
"My apologies for asking such a question. I was shocked." Niti looked at the food Rudy was eating and said, "Why are you eating the leftovers? You should have called the maids to cook new food for you."
Rudy swallowed the bite he was chewing and asked, "When was this food made?"
"Around 6 hours ago…" Niti replied.
"Then it's fine. Moreover, have you eaten?"
"No, I was here to do just that. I was here to wash the dishes and eat the leftovers, but…" Niti stopped and noticed the stacked plates on the table.
"Oh! This food was supposed to be for you?" Rudy grabbed a clean empty plate and said, "Come. Eat."
"I would never!" She bowed down and uttered, "Please eat as much as you want. Don't worry about me."
"I am almost done. Come. Eat the food while it's hot."
Niti glanced at Jane with a troubled face, but Jane nodded and said, "What are you waiting for?"
Niti sat beside Rudy and started eating slowly. She was feeling awkward, but she managed to stay calm.
Rudy nudged his elbow to Jane and said, "Can I have something to drink? Preferably, something cold?"
"Like…?"
"Uhh… milkshake?"
"How do you make it?"
SIGH!
"Nevermind…"
Niti heard the conversation and said, "I will make you one."
"Thank you, but finish eating first."
A few minutes later, Niti finished eating and went to the kitchen to make a milkshake for Rudy.
Jane was pouting as she didn't get to help Rudy.
Rudy looked at the stack of dirty plates and wondered, 'Niti has been working since the morning, and she still has work to do. Where are the other maids? The place is so big, and I have surely seen at least a few dozen maids walking around. So why is Niti doing all the chores? I thought she was Jane's personal maid.'
