Vampire Aedes
19. Finally Chris showed up

His eyelids were not open. But his ears are working well. The voice of the man he had previously encountered in the wooden house. He seems to be talking seriously with someone. His eyelashes twitched, wanting to show what was happening. Trouble, the sense of vision can not be fully opened. Vision looked blurry, making his head feel like it was spinning. And Aster decided to go back unconscious.

"This unusual way, how do you explain it?" He glanced at the condition of his adopted daughter, appearing to be wounds here and there all over the body. On the face, wrists, and feet.

The man at the back knelt down, although no one noticed. Just facing the King's back, for him it was still an honor. "In reply to Your Majesty, I would like to report anything that has happened during these three days."

"Hem."

Then the man took a breath. "On the first day, this girl ran into the Imperata cylindrica field. We sure keep following him without letting up. Surprisingly, that day he suddenly disappeared. It was even stranger when he suddenly appeared with a white cat."

The king turned over the body as soon as the creature in the legend story was called. "You sure?"

"Very sure, Your Majesty! This girl repeatedly broke the rules of the Palace.even against your orders."

"Haish! That's not what I asked. I asked the white cat, is there anything unusual about him?"

He remembered a little. After the chosen girl fainted, the cat immediately jumped on the head of a nearby soldier swiftly. "In addition to not stepping on the ground, the animal behaves like a cat in general, Your Majesty."

The king observed the weakly drooping figure once again. In the legend, there was a young man who met a princess who was very adept at using magic. The princess was also beautiful, all the beauty of the universe seemed to be in her. They got married and looked happy, but it didn't last long. The princess, until now it is not clear why she killed her own husband. She said to kill the other soul that rests on her husband's body. Then he turned into a white cat and left without a trace.

Still do not know if the story is really real, but the flower community believes that the white cat is the incarnation of the princess. It was also believed that if a white cat appeared, one soul would be killed.

Another version of the story states, the princess killed her husband because of force. The young man only pretended to love for the sake of seizing the magic necklace belonging to the princess. Listen, that necklace is what makes him able to master magic.

"Your Majesty? Does this girl need to be punished now?"

"not now. I'm afraid Papa left him a mission. You better lock him up in an abandoned pavilion."

From the name alone can be guessed how the condition of the residence Aster later. The man nodded, then let his subordinates lift the girl's body to the destination. "Your Majesty, then I resign.".

"Wait."

"Is there anything you need?"

"I want to see the cat just now, tell me where you took him?" The king had sharp eyes, as if a pair of knives were crossing in front of his neck. The man had difficulty swallowing.

"Because of the rules of the Palace, the gatekeeper brought him so that he would not make a row inside. So you don't have to worry, Your Majesty. It's just ...."

"What is it?"

"Just after being separated from this girl, her attitude went wild. You must be careful when approaching it."

The king wanted to see the cat to see if it had a magic necklace on its neck that was told in legend. If he could take the necklace, he would most likely also be adept at mastering all kinds of magic.

"All right, you can go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm retreating."

Aster was half-conscious, then on his way to the abandoned pavilion. He tried to struggle, even though consciousness was almost completely lost. "Where are you taking me?".

"Hey, you're too loud. This girl fainted again. What if I get punished for your abusive treatment?" protest of one of his colleagues.

The gatekeeper who failed to recognize the adopted daughter alone was not punished, let alone just, being rude like this. "will not. You coward!"

Their debate attracted a little attention of a man and his servants.It just so happened that he was bored and walked the afternoon around the Palace. I did not expect to encounter such an event. The soldier was seen installing wooden boards from outside the door so that the door could not open from the inside.

He also gave the personal servant an order, "Sari, find out what they're fighting about."

"Okay, Prince."

Sari or as the maid in the palace, invites the soldiers to chat for a while. After getting the information, he gave a bag containing gold pieces. The prince frowned, usually only secret information that required a reward.

"What's wrong?"

"Fifth Prince, inside there was a girl who was appointed as the princess of the kingdom by His Majesty the King and Queen. But based on the soldier's explanation just now, the girl's situation isn't good."

Both corners of the prince's lips were interested. Now he remembered the adopted daughter three days ago who kept silently staring at him. It was truly unexpected to be able to meet even before the girl was officially appointed.

"Let's check it out."

"But, Prince. The abandoned pavilion is really no match for you. His Majesty the King put the girl here for sure because he made a mistake. I'm afraid this is bad for you."

"Did I tell you to talk?" The prince looked at the woman next to him with a look of dislike. Sari was deep.

"Sorry, Prince. I know I'm wrong." There is no need to argue with princes or princesses. They're all very haughty.

The abandoned pavilion was an old building that was rarely touched. The ceiling was filled with cobwebs, not to mention dusty floors. The Fifth Prince would not have bothered to step here had he not been so curious about the appearance of his sister-to-be.

Ethics forced his head to stay upright and focus on looking forward, so that Aster's face was not clear.

Sari put away the wooden board, then the door opened. He allowed the prince to enter first. The man tightened the hat before going deeper.

Darkened. The light is the only source of the moon that reflects sunlight into the white skin of Aster. The Fifth Prince moved his hand and a ball-like shape appeared to light up. It makes the whole room bright.

The Fifth Prince found the wanted figure asleep on the floor. He crouched down to see the condition of Aster more clearly. Remove the hair that covers the face. His eyebrows cringed. What kind of mistake until His Majesty the King dares to be ruthless. Still don't call people from the Physician Country to treat, instead confine them here.

Feeling a glare, Aster slowly opened his eyes. Initially narrowed, so that the sense of sight can adjust the light. The shadow was faint, but it felt very familiar to be behind the rays. "W-who?"

"It's me, you can call me Fifth Brother. I'll help you if you ask."

Ah, Fifth Brother huh? The Fifth Prince.

Aster felt his whole body ache. It hurts like being hit so many times. "Kris, his help me."

Not only did she secretly observe herself when she came out of the Palace, this girl also knew her name. Aster cried while closing his eyes. Kris did not know what kind of trouble this girl was going through. But from the beginning, he had been interested in the presence of Aster, since the first time he saw in front of the gate, when his friend spoke a lot and he was silent.
