The Ending
Episode 30 [Faith]

"14 years ago? Crazy one! You serious!?"

Eugene exclaimed in disbelief. He looked at Luis in the face, scrutinizing every lie on his face, but he found no lie there.

'He's serious'

Dabbing his silver hair in frustration, Eugene leaned his body against the large rock behind him. The information Luis said was difficult for him to believe but on the other hand he also knew why Luis had been acting like he knew something.

"What happens in the future?"

Eugene asked briefly. He wanted to know the reason why Luis was repeating time to the past.

Smiling wryly, Luis began to tell Eugene everything. The beginning and the end of his story until he can go back to the past, everything.

"Crazy. You're ambitious too"

Luis laughed a little. Confused what kind of response to Eugene's words.

"Does Eugene believe that?"

Eugene stared at Luis briefly. He also nodded in response.

"Of course I believe,"

"Easy then?"

"Why indeed? I'm a vampire. I believe in reincarnation, so repeating time is not impossible, right?" Eugene paused his words for a moment. He sat his body, confirming his most comfortable position before speaking to Luis.

"After all that helps you is Lord Elf. The same majestic figure as the Dragon Lord, you are lucky to meet such a figure brat"

Luis scrunched his forehead. Now he's uncomfortable with Eugene's boy call.

"Stop calling me a kid"

Eugene grunting. He smiled at Luis who was looking at him.

"You're a kid. I'm not 19, my real age is 100 you know"

Luis gasps. He closed his mouth as if he could not believe Eugene's words.

"So Eugene's brother was actually Grandpa Eugene?"

Cats Luis with watados. An imaginary crossroad appeared on Eugene's forehead. It seems Luis is getting a little annoying for him.

"That's a young age for vampires. Even for me who is only half a vampire, I can reach a maximum age of 500 years"

"So Eugene's sister lives 400 years again dong?"

Eugene clenched his hands, preparing to hit the handsome face of Luis who was now giggling while holding his stomach.

Jdarr!!!

Luis gasped, covering his ears tightly with both hands while looking down upon hearing the sound of lightning from outside. Even though he had already repeated his time and had once reached the age of nearly thirty years but his fear of lightning had still not disappeared.

"Heh, are you afraid of lightning? like a kid"

Eugene spoke in a trivial tone while Luis looked at Eugene cynically. The sound of lightning was no longer heard now, making him calmer again.

"That's not important. I want to ask you something, Brother Eugene"

Luis' gaze became serious, now he was not kidding anymore.

"What's that?"

"What did Chief Yula do to you?"

Eugene paused for a moment, not answering Luis' question.

"What did I tell you?"

Put both hands on his chest, while looking at Luis with a probing look.

"I can help you. The one who told Brother Eugene to kill me was also chief Yula right?"

"It was indeed an order from Yula, but it was also my wish"

Silent for a while, there was only the sound of rain stubs being heard from inside. The firewood began to scorch in the flames, reducing the warmth the two men felt.

"Don't Eugene think I'm gonna kill you because you're a vampire?"

Eugene flinched but then a paltry smile came back on his face.

"Heh, you know"

His Netra Rubi looked at each other with Luis' Netra Blue Sapphire. Tell me what the prince will say next.

"So. Are you gonna kill me now?"

Eugene dared himself to ask such a question. If Luis wanted to kill him, he would have accepted. After all Eugene had already committed a crime for intending to kill the prince of this country, he deserved to get the punishment according to the royal law.

'At least I'll—'

"I won't"

Tacit. Eugene looked at Luis who was also staring at him. Eugene's mouth was muddled, he didn't expect Luis to let it go.

"Why?"

'There must be a reason'

Eugene knows Luis is smart. He believes Luis is not a naive good guy and forgives Eugene just because he is his upperclassman.

That kind of excuse was not suitable for Luis, at least Eugene believed it.

"Because I need you"

Smiling, Eugene was pleased to hear Luis' reasoning, which made sense to him. Right, surely Luis has a desire with him.

"You want to use me?"

Luis grunts. Dislike of Eugene's words which he thinks are not subtle.

"The words are too cruel. I'd rather say it as a deal" Luis paused his remarks for a moment. He smiled then raised one finger in front of Eugene.

"I'll use Eugene's power as a vampire later, in return I'll grant Eugene one wish"

"I want to kill you—"

Luis immediately shook his head quickly.

"Murder is not allowed. My life is important for the peace of this continent,"

A sigh of disappointment rang out from Eugene. It's a pity for him not to be able to kill Luis, or at least he wants to beat him.

'Well that's impossible'

In terms of strength it might be Eugene who wins. But in terms of experience, technique and strategy, Luis is superior.

If it's like this there's only one thing Eugene wants as a request to Luis.

"Please protect my family."

His voice sounded raucous. Eugene lowered his face, staring at the ground he was sitting on.

"I have a family in the village of Ivi. He's not my family, but he loves me very much." Pausing his remarks for a moment he recalled about his warm family, more precisely a thirty-five year old woman who became his mother.

A faint smile appeared on Eugene's always shrunken face. To her the figure of the mother is everything, she's the source of the warmth Eugene has to stay alive in a world that rejects him the vampire blood.

The thin smile disappeared, replaced with a bitter smile when remembering events that had gone by. Early events when his identity is known by someone.

"Eugene, are you a vampire?"

The little Eugene who was caught biting the hand of a faint little boy looked at Yula behind him with a surprised look.

"Yula knew my identity as a vampire when I was 9"
