Vampire Aedes
46. Poor Forgotten _T

Aster fell silent as he recalled the name he had just heard. The more thought, the more painful the Aster's head becomes. While massaging the temple, he said, "Sorry, I don't know. Are you looking for someone? If so, there's no Vanessa here."

Hearing Aster's reply, it broke the girl's heart. For the second time he continued to feel the pain of being lied to. Even before Aster left the village, he had promised something very convincing, but why? Now you pretend you don't know.

A person becomes a fool for believing too much in sweet words. How can ... how can a true friend pronounce it with confidence if he ultimately denies it? It's free that he ran away from the market all the way here.

"Haha, stupid," he said softly.

"He said you were stupid."

"What?" aster asked inexplicably to the Seventh Prince. "I didn't hear anything. Why did he say I was stupid? Like a fucking acquaintance."

"Try you think. Doesn't he look like the owner of the name himself?"

"Emm, maybe I should greet her up close to make it clearer. Prince Aedes, may I come out for a minute?" Then Aster forced his way down from the carriage, ignoring the Seventh Prince's gaze which seemed to tell Aster to stop handling troublesome matters. But the Prince remained half-hearted and willing to allow it.

"Do you really not know Vanessa?" ask the girl after Aster stands right in front of her.

Aster asked, "Are you Vanessa?"

Her eyes were rounded. "Did you remember? You yourself gave me a name before going to the Palace. He said so you wouldn't forget me. I know that you were very forgetful in the past, but I'm relieved now."

Vanessa holds Aster's hands unconsciously. The Seventh Prince who saw the incident was quite interested.

Aster blew his hair bangs. It's true that she's Vanessa. Unfortunately Aster does not remember a single memory with this figure.

He's also confused. I don't know, the uncomfortable feeling then he pulled the hand of an unknown girl. At first glance, Vanessa is surprised and realizes her status is only a slave. He does not deserve to touch Aster who is now a Princess with dirty hands.

"Ja-so here, I'm actually in a hurry. Can you leave without getting in my way?" Aster averted his gaze from the Seventh Prince's fiery gaze. Looks like the train will burn if he gets angry more than this.

Vanessa looks disappointed. "Ah, I'm just worried. Said you were kicked out of the Flower Palace. What mistake did you make? Are you all right?"

"I'm fine." Aster smiled sweetly.

Vanesa held back the tears. "Well, what's fine! The food in the palace is not good, huh? You're much thinner than you were when you were a slave."

"What did you say?" It should be enough to pretend to be pretentious, but not only that. He also fabricated a story of his past which was a slave. Clearly Aster came from the real world.

"I'm sorry, I'm not insulting Istas—'s menu"

"Forgetit." The short answer sounded bland in Vanessa's ears. Is Aster angry? Really, just because he said something bad about the food in the Palace?

"Don't worry too much. All the food in the palace was delicious. I have never seen so much and so good food. But as much as I eat, it feels less."

"Thank God you eat well."

"Yes, so you can go back now. Maybe you already know, I'll go to the Floating Palace."

The same person, the same face, and the same voice. However, act as if they are strangers to each other. Can't you tell me as much as you used to? It's not like he really remembers.

"Mr Princess." Vanessa wants to ask me one more time to make sure.

"Yes?" In his heart, Aster wanted to quickly end this conversation.

"Have you ever hit the Fifth Prince on the head?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

Let alone hitting, how could you hurt the idol's body parts? The Fifth Prince is a cute guardian angel. With her baby face it .. ugh! If anyone hit anyone, he would be the only one who would dare to do so.

Wait, her?

She who?

Vaguely, the shadow of the girl pigtailed in her Junior High uniform flashed through her mind. But Aster's memory is blurred, but he is very sure that they are close enough. It makes Aster a little dizzy.

"Aster!" the Seventh Prince shouted from inside the carriage, impatient. The sun is starting to rise. A sign that he really should leave.

The girl looked at Vanessa again. "Wait here for a minute."

Vanessa nodded despite her rather grim face. Then Aster went back to the train to pick up something.

The Seventh Prince frowned. "What are you doing? He said he didn't know, but he spoke for a long time."

Aster was busy searching to the point of ignoring the Seventh Prince's words, strangely the man was not angry.

"Meet!" exciting Aster semringah. In his hand was a small luxurious box filled with snacks from the Fifth Prince. He gave it to Vanessa.

"This .. is so beautiful. The princess gave this to me?" Vanessa received the box with her eyes wide open. He did not believe after opening the contents that were no less beautiful.

Aster nodded. "Yup! It was a snack that the Fifth Prince often ate. Tastes sweet. You should go home and enjoy it at home, okay?"

"Thank you, Princess. I'm going to hand out this snack to the other slaves." Again Vanessa cried. Aster did not know that a snack he almost refused could make others cry happily.

While Vanessa tried to give up her hopes on Aster. It might be pointless considering a slave in this world, but at least Aster still cared. He was no longer ignored as Chris had done.

With a heavy heart, Vanessa knelt down. "Hopefully your journey ahead will be smooth."

Actually Aster is not comfortable with a position that clarifies such a status, but.

"Goodbye, Vanessa!" aster said as he waved from the window. Don't forget the sweetest smile as a farewell.

The Seventh Prince looked at Aster expressionlessly. Based on the history of slaves, written punishment for those who fled from their masters. The escaped slaves would be tortured to death. Whether it was whipped, beaten, or drowned in a well. In the end they must die. Even so, Vanessa kept coming back after knowing everything.

If Aster asks again, "Isn't that person suicidal?"

The answer is ....

Yep.

He came to meet Aster because he was ready to accept all the consequences.

"Why do you keep staring at me?" ask Aster.

The Seventh Prince immediately turned his eyes. "Only, do you know Vanessa?"

Fad questions because the Seventh Prince was at a loss for words, but Aster's response was beyond belief. The girl looked so shocked that her face was pale.

"Ah, sorry. I don't know why my head hurts every time I try to remember that name."
