He just took a garlic breadstick from the basket on the table and started eating it. He nodded his head and thought the breastic tasted horrible like sandpaper. As well the garlic burnt his mouth but still he ate it because he loved them. ".........." He said nothing as she said she was going to get out of the contract faster. That kind of hurt. He liked having her at his beck and call. Though he supposed after a while he would have to set her free. A caged bird never sang happy when put in a cage. "I am protecting you from my family and from the world of vampires and demons. I am protecting them from the same things." He said honestly. He looked down. "I am heir to a throne Emma. I have to show I have something of value and you are of value. Human servants who do not fight and scream are rare and a sign of great respect. I promise you if you still want to be free once the contract is over I will set you free." He said with a face that showed he didn't really want to. He looked at her. "The royal branch of family from the Okihama family. An old royal family that branches from Romania to Japan." He stopped for a moment. He rubbed the back of his head. "Yes my young brother. Shunned from the family because he married a gypsy." he shook his head. Looking at her then his eyes flashed darkly. "You know nothing about me. You know only the guise I put up to hide what I am. You don't know how I can really be if I let you close." He took a drink of the tea set before him. Making a face as it was sweet but bland at the same time. He looked at her. "I don't think you understand...I am not the bad guy you keep assuming I am." He shook his head. "Never mind. It is pointless trying to explain something to a woman who thinks because I act one way I am no better than someone who works hard and is smart. For the record I have a genius IQ level. I just don't care to use the damn thing." He sat up straight and watched her food arrive. "Anyways enjoy your meal." He waved a hand in front of his mouth. His mouth was on fire. Then he continued eating breadsticks. "When is your birthday Emma?"
