Vampire Aedes
10. Caught by the Two-Faced Prince

Aster waited for the waiter to open the door. A few minutes ago he came in and has not shown a nose. His feet are starting to ache.

"To come here makes me even hungrier and more bored." Unknowingly, the Aster yawned small.

"Daughter, please wait a moment. The waiter was telling people that the Princess would be here for dinner."

"okay." The smell of food always sounds tempting when imagined. There is a sour and sweet smell, the point is refreshing. What's more after the door in front of him opened wide.

Aster raised his head. Kris confronted while showing off a gloomy look. "Who told you to come out?"

"I'm, I'm hungry." The cold night's Eve grew colder until the flow of blood froze. Kris' attitude changed. A glance full of warm, the next flash like ice.

The Fifth Prince closed the door as Aster forced his way in. "I said, go back to your room."

"I'm really hungry."

"Do you know, we're all worried about hearing you get sick. The whole Palace is worried! The king insisted on inviting the soul representatives from the Physician Country secretly. You walk at night, don't you think that's so bad?"

"But I'm fine."

"That's exactly what's not good, you're fine."

The man in the typical noble hat is really afraid that Aster was caught out. He tried to keep his brother from being seen by his other siblings. Even when the other siblings wanted to visit, Kris secretly blocked them at all costs.

"You mean, I should be sick?"

Kris sighed. "If the servant of the King or Queen sees you in good health, you will be branded a liar and then sentenced to touch poisonous flowers, even eat them."

The door behind Kris opened, revealing the man Aster had been avoiding. Black-robed men with tanned leather shoes. The Seventh Prince of the Floating Palace glanced at Aster with a mysterious highlight again. "It's so noisy out here, what's up?"

"Seventh Prince, you don't need to bother going out. It's family business."

Sari and Aster closed their open mouths in shock. "Mr Princess, the Fifth Prince's remark has a point. We'd better get back, the air here is getting stuffy" he whispered.

"Ah, Fifth Prince. I was suddenly sleepy. Thank you for your concern. I'm sick, it's so bad to look okay. Everyone could be fooled, but the Fifth Prince was extremely considerate. Please don't misunderstand me. Excuse me," she immediately walked wide away from the pavilion. Honestly, Aster did not remember what he had said just to Kris.

Comeon! This is a dream, why so serious? Aster ran while banging his head so as not to digress.

"Mr Princess, are you okay?" Sari's voice sounded bouncing. Aster shook his head strongly. Drowsiness almost took control of his consciousness.

"Mr Princess?"

"Hm?"

"Mr Princess!"

The end of Aster's shoes stepped on his own skirt. Before actually kissing the ground, he could feel a pair of hands holding his stomach so as not to topple over.

"Ukh, why can't I move?" inner Aster while struggling desperately moving the body. Let alone the body, moving eyelashes also failed.

In the Seventh Prince's eyes, Aster's movements were like a sleeping person writhing. Thinking Aster was looking for comfort, the Prince lifted his body into a sling. Aster's little heart cries being treated as sweet as that. Warm, comfortable.

"Prince, thank you for helping the Princess!" Sari bowed respectfully.

"Either. What's the matter today? Why is he so exhausted?" Staring at how Aster fell asleep. No one could wake him up.

Sari explained that today the Princess traveled around the Palace, stopping in many places, including climbing the stairs of the giant wall.

The Seventh Prince smiled enjoying Aster's face so sweetly while sleeping. Want to lick his cheeks right now.

"He's safe with me. You can go. Ah~ don't tell anyone."

"T, te, ten-tu! Then, excuse me, Prince. Please take good care of our daughter."

***

Darkened. In the corner of the room was a candle. Aster carefully went down the bed and approached the light source earlier. This place has minimal lighting, not like the rooms in general.

"Cari? You're that?" His steps slowed down as soon as he realized the shadow there resembled a male.

"Oh, are you awake?" The person turned his head towards him, making Aster's legs come to a halt. That cold face that had not changed despite being ignited by the flames nearby.

Prince Aedes is one meter away. The moonlight shined its lookout from the ventilation hole. "You, how do you know my name?"

Aster frowning. "The news of the arrival of Prince Aedes has been heard all over the Palace, everyone knows too."

"They know me as the Seventh Prince of the Floating Palace. How do you know my name is Prince Aedes?" The prince walked around Aster's body. Makes the master more nervous.

"I ...."

Prince Aedes smiled in anguish. His hand raised Aster's chin with a slight pressure."Nice start. I don't have to pretend well, at least in front of you."

"Uhk," Aster tried to take off his grip or his jaw would crumble, "that is to pretend to be good in front of them, whereas in front of me, the Seventh Prince happened this rough? Believe it or not, I'll scream."

Prince. "Look, let them all know you're in my room."

"Ssh, so this is the Prince's room that the butler prepared?" While continuing to touch her gritting jaw, Aster scanned the surroundings. "He prepared the worst room. Only animals live here. Why would the Seventh Prince stay?"

"Have you boasted enough?" Prince Aedes stared at the dumbfounded Aster. "I wanted to eat you, but changed my mind. Animals like me are not interested in humans."

The woman in front of him shakes. The face of Prince Aedes was indeed cold, but that cold gaze ... Aster first saw it. "I—"

"Get out of my room."

Aster took a breath and took a step outside. Consider it a freedom. He was not out of thought, was not Prince Aedes used to luxury? The room is large, the floor is clean and slippery. On what basis would he stop by in such a stuffy room?

Aster shut his mouth in disbelief. Is the visit of Prince Aedes not welcome?

It's so quiet. Only a swipe of the twig was heard blowing in the wind. The guards play mannequins at each door. Inevitably, Aster had to walk around. But accidentally, his feet stepped on a dry leaf.

"Who's there?"

Oh, shite! Aster frowned warily. His back is on the side of the building. From the other side of the building, the guard was approaching with the sound of his distinctive shoes clinking. The sound is getting closer.

A pebble jumped, making Aster look at where it came from. The man in the armor waved his hand. Aster cradles whether to go there or not.

As the sound of the guard's shoes grew louder, there was no choice but to head to the man's place and feel safe. They both hide under the gazebo. The current position is not exposed to moonlight or lights.

The guards arrived at the side of the building, but only found a void. He shook his head to his partner, then went back to guard. Aster benapas.

"What are you doing here, Brother Raise?"

"Ssh, don't be so loud!" Aster stopped tidying up the dress. The face of the man in front of him looked familiar. The guard hat is like an aluminum helmet that leaves the nose and mouth. "Anu, have we met? And you call me foster sister, are you prince?"

The man chuckled, then pulled the top layer of the helmet back like he was slipping glasses. Now he can see the black iris glittering. "We met twice. You can call me Third Prince or Third Brother."

Aster tilting his head. Now he remembers. The eyes and face were similar, but the Third Prince's look was different from before. As if what Aster is now encountering is a teenage version. "Prince, where uban—I mean, right now you look much younger. I feel pangling."

"We're only five years apart. I am eighteen years old. Don't be so formal." The Third Prince blinked one eye.

The dream world is a fantasy. Man can grow old in the morning, then young at night. Many secrets that Aster is sure he does not know yet.

"All right, I'm not formal. Earlier I—meaning me, I'm sorry for the incident this morning. Thank you for your help just now. By the way, what are you doing here?" ask Aster whispering.

"I should have asked that. So now I'm asking, what are you doing here?"

"Ah? I have a habit of sleeping while walking, waking up already here."

Such a reason could possibly make a Third Prince believe? He planted suspiciously on those two narrowed eyes. "You're not lying, are you?"

Aster curled his lips upwards. "Third Brother, I'm new, I'm so scared. I want to go back to the room, but the guard here is scary. Help me, will you?" whine while shaking the Prince's arm.

Inwardly, Aster cursed the male mosquitoes that had driven him into the wild. Now can only rely on sweetness.

"Then 'help' with pleasure." The Third Prince snapped a finger.

Ehh? I don't know whose hands are holding him from behind. The cloth in his mouth smelled stinging and dizzying.

"Glam!" His ten fingers were trying to reach the Third Prince. Stomach as much as possible until all the fingers are helpless.
