Vampire Aedes
31. Mosquitoes in the Bathroom

Aster let out a breath of air. "Haa, I hope the Lotus Princess and the First Prince are lost at Lake Toba."

"Lake Toba?" ask for a voice from the front. Aster looked up. As far as ten feet, the figure of Prince Aedes stood. His height covered the crescent moon. The young man's shadow fell on Aster's face. "Where did you hear Lake Toba? As I recall there is no lake named Lake Toba."

"Sir Aiden ...." Aster shook his head strongly. The person standing in front of him was not Aiden, but Prince Aedes. This guy is looking for a daughter, right? "Ah .. i-it's just the name of the lake that's in my dream."

"Dreams?"

"Y-yeah, hahaha. I often dream of another world. There are lots of lakes and food. The world in dreams is more beautiful than here." Prince Aedes just stared, but made Aster wrong because he felt constantly noticed. "Eh? I mean—I mean, dreams are no more beautiful than reality. Because in the end, people keep coming back to reality."

Aster doesn't know what his mouth says. Aster wants to get out of this place. He thought Prince Aedes had gone far away, who would have thought he met the predator as soon as he walked out the door.

Meanwhile, Prince Aedes smelled a very sharp garlic smell. Like the sweat of people passing by in the market or when passing through the kitchen in the Floating Palace. Before arriving at the Flower Palace, Prince Aedes passed through a market filled with humans smelling bad.

Sweet fragrance mixed with human sweat surrounds Aster's body. It made his forehead flinch while snorting violently. "So so. I'm sorry, but can Princess Aster come any closer?"

"Yes?" Aster looks shocked. "Is my explanation poorly understood?"

"No. I want to make sure of something."

The warning!

Bad feeling, bad feeling!

The violet dress girl changed the position from squatting to standing. Aster slightly tidied up the front skirt by rubbing it many times. At once a sweet aroma wafted that was instantly detected by the Prince's smell. The Prince's pupils shrank as the girl suddenly lifted her skirt and ran.

He saw his back getting smaller. Prince Aedes was on the spot, but the senses of his listeners were scouting away at every step of Aster. One corner of the Prince's lips was pulled upwards.

He then muttered, "Hundred feet."

"Mr Princess?!"

Sari opened the gate of the silence pavilion, finding Aster bored as if he had been chased by a boar. The girl held onto Sari until the two collapsed to the ground. "Sari, really bad!"

"Daughter, what is it?" ask the woman to worry.

Aster pressed on a pair of Sari's shoulders using both hands. "Vampire .. hosh, hosh .. It looks like garlic has nothing to do with him. How am I supposed to? I have to how! What if he takes me before I learn anything huaaa!"

Aster gets up while ruffling his hair. A pair of eyes that glimmered in the moonlight imprinted on the memory. Horrible, horrible! Although sooner or later fate will lead him to go to the side of Prince Aedes, at least let Aster master the ability.

The mat!

Lately Aster's ears are sensitive. The sound of the movement of the needle made him glance at the bracelet on the wrist. He raises the sleeve so that the needle is clearly visible that the tip has shifted to number two.

Aster dumbfounded. Isn't there not a day?

The footsteps surprised both of them. Someone ran towards the pavilion. The path is filled with shady trees, from a distance do not know the face because it is dark. After entering the boundary of the fence, the face was finally highlighted by the light of the garden lights.

"Kris?" Aster knit eyebrows. "Sister, why did Fifth Brother come here?"

Suddenly the baby face hugged her. "I miss my sister, Aster."

Aster tried to escape. Fortunately, it is not difficult. "Tell me what happened, brother."

Without answering, Kris hugged her again. This time Aster let it go. It seemed like the Fifth Prince had no intention of telling what was happening. The girl just kept quiet and slowly returned the embrace. Aster's treatment made the Prince calmer.

After the Prince finished with a hug, he glanced at the servant next to Aster.

"Okay, Princess."

Prince Kris looked at Aster. It turned out that today the Fifth Prince was shorter than usual or maybe because Aster was wearing two-inch heels.

"I want to ask you something, but you have to answer it honestly."

The night air is so cold. Aster shivering. "Haa okay. I'll be honest."

The Fifth Prince took a deep breath, as if this question was more difficult than the National Examination. "If one day your body dies, what will you do?"

"Hm? Isn't there nothing else I can do?"

"Who says there isn't?"

"Eh? There's truth?"

"of course! You just need to find another body. Outside the palace were many fine human bodies. If you like it, you can have it as your new body." The Fifth Prince explained excitedly.

Aster pensively digested the sentence he had just heard. The Prince's condition is far from stable. Like a child who loses his mother.

The mat!

Aster raised his right hand, his forehead shriveling deep.

"The bracelet ...," said the Prince.

Aster widens eyes. Due to the reflex upon hearing the movement of the needle, he had forgotten the Fifth Prince's whereabouts. "E, this ...."

"You don't have to tell me. I already know what the bracelet is. You better tell me your answer?"

Aster had no idea what His Majesty the King had said to the Fifth Prince, but regarding the answer to finding a new body. It was as if Aster's body was now about to die, then he needed to search for the bodies of others, forcibly expelling their spirits, Isn't that inhuman?

"If I were to become human, I would hate it so much when my body is taken away by someone else."

"It turns out so." The Fifth Prince smiled as he stroked Aster's head. "My sister is so good!"

"What the hell," he replied trying to get rid of the hand. "It's late, just mending Brother back. I want a break."

Prince Aster nodded. "Hopefully sleep well!"

"... Brother as well." Aster waved his hand.

Currently, in a small and simple bathtub, Aster soaks to remove the smell of onions. An unpleasant green color was emanating from his body. Occasionally, it melts its head under the surface of the water, then pokes together some petals of flowers tucked between strands of hair.

The bracelet given by Mr. Steven cannot be removed. Nine more numbers? Aster does not understand the clock counting system. The needle moved for no reason.

"Magic cat!" aster shouted at the air. "Magic cat! Where the hell are you?" He hopes the animal appears so he can request information, but its whereabouts are unknown. The last place where the cat disappeared .. eh?

Aster frowned, his eyes moving to a corner of the room as if insisting on remembering something.

"Any ...," he murmured. "I can't remember the details even if I know what happened."

A mosquito rings around the ears, then disables all of Aster's thoughts. The girl gasped as the mosquito reached the edge of the bathtub. Like a statue, quiet and calm.

"Can there be mosquitoes?"
