Ara & the Vampire Prince
Ara Dilemma

"Don't daydream" Lucas' words almost made Ara scream. So surprised.

"Bikin's in shock" Gerutu Ara. Lucas chuckled at Ara's grunts.

"Easy wobble. It is not good husband and wife to fight for a long time"

"I'm mad at him. It's not gelut ngajakin" Kilah Ara.

"That's the same, Your Majesty"

"Don't call me that disgusting call. I don't deserve it"

"Then who deserves it. He chose you a long time ago. Don't know if you're gonna be king and queen of the Vampire clan"

Ara speechless. She didn't really want to be queen or anything. He just wants to live a mediocre life. Peace without events of war or disputes or quarrels and so on.

"You know he loves you very much. Long time ago. I remember when Uncle brought him home to Black Castel for the first time. No talk. Not eating, not drinking. Losing you made half his soul disappear" Lucas recalled staring at the beautiful night sky above them.

Ara was silent again.

"Don't fight anymore. You already know what it's like to be apart. Not good at all. For your sake he accepted Uncle's offer to rise to become the clan leader"

"I didn't ask him to do that, Lucas" Ara almost cried as she said that.

Really he didn't want Luis to do something he didn't like just for his sake. He felt he was not valuable enough to get all of Luis' sacrifices.

"But he wants to do it for you. Anything..."

Ara walked over gontai as she climbed into her room. She could not argue at all when Luis required her to stay in the main house since they were married.

"With his condition as Pure Blood you should know that many will attack him and want him. You should receive extra protection. You know clearly that marrying her means you're a shield for her" Hans' voice was heard along with Luis's ringing.

Ara immediately closed her mouth. Saw a blue wound on Luis' chest. Which is now being treated by Hans. Ara retreated her steps.

"Pure Blood? Sneakers for me? What does that mean?" Inner Ara was full of questions.

"You found something?" Hans asked Yoon. Both are in the underworld. Where the Demon race soldiers were killed.

"Look?" Yoon touched Hans's hand. And a visual immediately rotated in Hans' head.

"Basic culprit" Hans murmured after seeing a visual from Yoon.

"He's not just a crackle. But a terrible monster" Maki Yoon.

"Hey, we're also blood-sucking monsters" Kekeh Hans.

"At least we're handsome" Narcissist Yoon.

"Waahh since when this refrigerator suddenly narcissistic. Is it because of Erika" Goda Hans.

"Shut up!" Hans laughed instead seeing Yoon upset.

"What are you asking me to meet in person?" Rakuten asked. He doesn't seem to like it. Because Asha clearly deceived him. Pretending to take him for a walk. But he was invited to meet Luis. Lucas is there.

"It's a matter of misunderstanding between our nations. Hear me. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with our nation. They deliberately created rumors to make it look like we're in trouble with your people" Luis said calmly.

"You mean there are people in our nation who betray us or don't like our nation to be on good terms?"

"More like that?"

"Do you know the guy?" Rakuten asked back.

"Hans and Yoon have been investigating where your soldiers were killed. And here's the result"

A visual was instantly sent to Rakuten's mind. For a moment the man was silent. The next second Rakuten's face instantly turned ghastly.

"Devil Impersonator!" Angry angry.

"As you can see. He has the ability to imitate anyone. And at that time he imitated our nation to kill your whole army. Because he's in need of blood to increase his strength" Luis explained.

Rakuten was clearly angry. Feeling tricked. It was as if he was raising a beast in his palace.

"That's why I locked you up in the Western palace. To keep your safety"

"But in fact, Ash was not spared from their actions" Luis added.

"You mean?"

"Drink this" Pinta Lucas. Handing over a black pill. Which was directly swallowed by Asha. It didn't take long. Asha instantly spewed out black blood.

"Asha are you okay?" Panic Rakuten. Asha shook her head. Giving the code to the father. Momentary coughing. Then felt her chest burn hot.

"The Poison Black Raven of the East. In the next two months, your internal organs will be slowly damaged. This poison reacts very slowly but is deadly. Until no one suspected that Asha was exposed to poison. Know-know ...."

"I'm dead" Grunted Asha.

"Who did it?"

"That's your job. We are just giving the results of our investigation. Be careful of people you trust. Even to us" Luis said ambiguously.

"Do I need to suspect you too"

"If you need to why not?" Luis held out a green pill.

"Drink, just in case" Pinta Lucas. Made Asha swallow him without a second thought. And the interaction was caught by Rakuten's tail.

On the other hand, Ara was tearing up Luis' library.

"Pure Blood, Vampire Flower" murmured Ara as her pointy finger continued down the row of books in the large room. Some time passed. Pretty upset because he's being chased by time. Don't let Luis or anyone else, catch her wet stealing a read in her husband's library.

"Can...!" Ara pulled a book off a shelf.

"Busyet by now.This is what writing?" Upset Ara looked at the writing she did not know at all.

"How do you read it?" Mumbled again. Suddenly a bright white light appeared before him. When Ara really felt a very strong desire to read the book.

"Who are you?" Wonder Ara.

"I'm the keeper of this place" answered the light.

"Why did you show up in front of me?"

"Because you are my master. The owner of the Vampire Flower tattoo is my queen"

"Then what can you do for me?" Ara asked a little enthusiastically. He was the one who was afraid. Now it's turning curious.

"Whatever you're telling me"

Ara's smile was perfectly inflated. Closing the book that read the Ancient Rune script that he could not read at all.

"Tell me about this book. Also tell me about the Vampire Flower"

Silent moment. Before long the light began to tell a long story about Pure Blood as well as the flower tattoo that is now engraved behind his ear. The longer the longer the more Ara frowned.

"I'm still not sure if our plan will work. You know they're quite cunning and good at tongue-licking" Aiden said grimly at times.

"I'm the same. Moreover, Rakuten, your future father-in-law, who I know is a plan and easily influenced" added Yoon staring mockingly at Lucas.

"Plin plan yes. But easily influenced. If we fail this time, how?" Hans.

"Means someone failed marriage" Seloroh Luis while holding his chest that feels pain.

"Have you taken the pill" asked Hans amid laughter laughing at Lucas's face. Luis nodded slowly.

Without them knowing, Ara was staring at Luis. She knew her husband was hurt because of her.

"I really don't deserve all your sacrifices, Luis. Do I have to cut off the protection you gave me. I can't watch you get hurt all the time because of me"

Inner Ara frustration. The dilemma struck the girl. Seeing Luis who seemed to be laughing with the others.
