"My lord, meet Roselia. Her original name was something else, but after turning into a vampire and being reborn, she chose a new name—one befitting a vampire," Jace the Lich said.
Mike nodded.
"And you can just call me Mike," he added. "There's no need to call me my lord."
"Kekeke… as you wish," Jace replied.
Mike sighed inwardly in relief.I should still be wary of this guy, he thought. Who knows—if I let my guard down, he might turn me into some shit eating zombie.
The thought made him shudder, even though he knew such a thing was impossible.
"Why did you call me?" Roselia asked suddenly, her crimson eyes fixing on Mike.
"Well, ma'am," Mike said respectfully, "I need someone who can stay with my family at all times and protect them. Someone who can pass as human. So I asked him, and he recommended you."
"Hm," she replied coolly, looking him up and down. "And why should I do that? You made this deal with him, not me."
