A/N: Sorry I haven't update for a very long time. I just started going to college few weeks ago. I was caught off guard when they suddenly said we only have one hour of sleep in our first week. I didn't know college was like that, my siblings didn't warn me at all! DAMN IT! Now I'm in my third week they start giving us assignment but don't worry I can now sleep more than 5 hours now.
"A vampire."
The leader of the pack sweat drop when he sense something powerful coming from the vampire. Quickly he orders the other to start attacking in fear that the vampire will kill them all before they have a chance to do so. Slaine eyes continue to stare back at those red orbs feeling like they have some kind of connection and the way Inaho face starts to pale as his hair start to darken prove that the Vampire blood is activating. It seems that the legend was true about the vampires that can change their looks into a handsome being within a second to charm their prey. During the old days the vampires will hunt humans into a ark corner by staring at their eyes to hypnotize them before taking them to a dark corner so the vampire can suck their blood.
This vampire before him looks so strong and it can even use the necklace that Slaine gives him. Just who is he?
"KILL HIM!"
The pack start attacking from every direction but before they could touch him Inaho grab the man wrist before he twist it and slam him into the ground until half his body is beneath the ground. Then he give a good kick to another until the head got separated from the body. Their eyes widen especially Slaine when they see such a brutal seen before them.
"Fools." His voice seems to echo inside their head. "Even if there are hundred of you, I can still defeat you."
It was scary when he watched how easily Inaho rip the body apart with his bare hands, the leader of the pack is shaking in fear when he makes contact with the vampire as he back away.
"No way . . . Someone like you shouldn't exist."
Slaine take this chance to get up and ran away from them knowing well the werewolf attention has shifted toward Inaho instead. Seeing the blond running away Inaho quickly charge toward the leader ignoring the other immortals. His hand wrap around the vampire neck and hang him up high in the air. He lick his lips when he sees blood starts running down to his hand. How long has it been since he taste fresh blood? The prey before him look so tasty, it would have taste better if his prey is higher rank but he shouldn't be too picky with his meal.
Slowly he open his mouth and bite the vampire shoulder while letting out a loud sound of him drinking his prey until it turns to ashes. The other werewolves look at each other in panic before they run away after seeing their leader has been consumed by the other.
"Inaho san . . ." Slaine presses his hand on his chest hoping to calm his beating heart.
Once again Inaho had save his life but . . . his an immortal. Why didn't he notice it earlier? Is his mind that weak to tell the difference or Inaho is just too good in hiding it? The only way for him to find out is by asking but is it a good time? Seeing Inaho wipe the leftover blood from his mouth send some kind of tingly feeling at his back. It's kind of hot and sexy.
"Are you okay Slaine?" Inaho asked once he look back at the noble.
"Y-yes."
Can this person truly be trusted?
"You're a vampire." Slaine said as he take a step closer. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Most mortals will be running away or trying to kill me when they know." He smirks making Slaine blushing again. "It seems that you're still looking at me the same way."
"That is because you're trying to save me didn't you?"
"I see . . ." Inaho suddenly appear an inch away from him with his hands pressing against his cheeks. "Tell me, is that the only reason you're not scare of me? Slaine Troyard."
Why is it that he always fells so happy when the vampire said his name?
"I don't know, Kaizuka Inaho."
The blood is still wet when it press against his cheeks. It feels very uncomfortable especially the weird smell it gives out so he wipe it with his hand. Inaho never felt so alive since he haven't use his power for a while and with this necklace in his hand helps to make him stronger. Usually he needs dozens of crystal to activate his vampire mode. Even though the necklace is very powerful and useful but if it falls into the wrong hand then everything will end up in disaster. This kind of necklace should have been kept somewhere safe and isolated.
Slaine smile when he sees the vampire deep in thought. It feels like his dream of two side beings friends are possible and they are the prove of that theory. Just look at them! They're talking normally to each other despite the dead bodies around them. It seems weird but nice.
"You have my gratitude once again, Inaho san." He gives a slight bow.
"We did have a deal that I will protect you and in return you will grant me my wish."
Slaine looks up again with a sincere smile. "That's right. A promise is a promise and I have already arrived at my destination so . . . what is your wish Inaho san?" He asked. "I will do my best to grant you anything you want."
"Well . . ."
It was then he spot some kind of weird circle forming between them, in an instinct he pushes Slaine far away before he cover his face by crossing his hand when the circle activate. A large explosion happens separating the two of them. Slaine felt someone embracing him from in front while Inaho sense some kind of weapon point at his neck. Slowly he open his eyes to see a girl with red hair glaring at him while gripping the sword tightly. At the other side, a man with a suit is carrying Slaine in his arms as he look back at them.
The man was also glaring at him as he held Slaine protectively in his arms.
"His an immortal!" Crystal shouts. "I will hold him off so focus on bringing Slaine back into the wall!"
"Of course." Harklight replied.
Slaine look at them in panic before he quickly get off from Harklight arms. "WAIT! HE SAVED MY LIFE SO PLEASE DON'T HURT HIM!"
Harklight look at his master in confusion. Is he actually telling them to spare that boy life?
"Slaine, this guy can't be trusted!" Crystal warns him. "Have you forgotten that immortals has been our enemies since generations? They're the reason why our family are dead! They kill them!"
It was then Inaho grab the tip of the sword stopping the girl from moving. She tried to pull the sword back but his strength was too powerful making her froze at her spot. She never encounter this type of immortal before. "You mortals always accuse us for everything you have lost but don't forget that my kind also die because of your people. You aren't the only one who has lost their families because my people had also experienced the same thing as well. As this war goes on two sides has lost so many but everybody still refuse to have peace due to their own pride."
'Does he has the same thought as me?' Slaine look at the vampire with hope fill within his eyes.
"I come here not to kill or demand for land but instead I come here for an alliance with your sides."
Harklight take a step forward not wanting for Slaine to rush to the vampire side. Despite the immortal words he still couldn't be trusted. There has to be a hidden agenda since what other reason he would want to save Slaine life? Seeing the necklace that the vampire is holding make his blood boil, how dare him to touch that precious treasure that belongs to the Troyard family?
"Alliance?" Crystal look at him strangely.
"To change this world into better place where we can live together in peace and end this stupid war." He explains. "This place is my first step to reach for that better future."
"How?"
It was then the vampire turn to look at Slaine.
"With him by my side."
The next words shock them all.
"I wish for Slaine Troyard to marry me."
It looks like he will have to cut out the courting process.
"YOU FAIL?" Trillram shouts angrily at the werewolves. "All you have to do is capture a single person!"
"They have a vampire at their side!"
It was then the werewolves got crush at the spot they're standing. Their blood were spilled from afar and the pieces were scattered everywhere dirtying the white cream carpet beneath his feet. It was then the lord crush the other nearby him in anger leaving only the guards alive. The maid is now kneeling on the floor while begging for her life to be spare but sadly he pay her no mind. She too was killed in anger and her head was torn apart from her body. The guard shiver in fear when he sees her head rolling on the floor toward him. As soon her head touches his shoe all he could do was gulp his saliva while pray that he won't be next.
"Weaklings! All of you are weaklings!"
It was then he felt a soft pat on his shoulder, without another word he quickly kneel toward the man who is more powerful than him. The person who he had sold his life to since this is the man who can grant him the power and wealth that he needs to take over the Terran. The man who promised him to get him the throne from Lord Troyard.
"Calm down." The wizard grin. "It's not like the beautiful heir is going anywhere."
"B-But!"
"As long he stays within the land it will be easy to get you two together since the elder has been on our side for a long time. Disagreement with the elder will risk his position as the Lord of his family and cause destruction to his homeland so it will be a matter of time before he had to accept the engagement between the two of you." The wizard said happily before he walk to the front with a cane in his hand. "You want the throne don't you?"
"Yes."
"And a powerful heir as well?"
"That's right!"
"Then be patience since your time will come soon."
'Foolish mortal.' The wizard thought. 'Because of your greed you end up betraying your kind and beg for my help so you can receive more power.'
The wizard then vanish in the thin air leaving trail of dust behind him. Trillram then gives a wicked smile when he thought of himself being crown as the new king and start to laugh loudly. "Once I become king and have a heir. I shall kill the Troyard heir where everyone could see see!"
"Marry?"
Crystal tries to kill Inaho immediately but instead she got thrown away to the back. Her sword got snatched away by the vampire anger her more but before she could do a comeback Slaine quickly stand at the middle to stop her. "Don't!"
"His an immortal!"
The girl is begging that Slaine remembers that immortals are the evil one and have to be killed but seeing that determine look on his face shows that their thoughts doesn't go the same way. Slowly she lower her hand as well as Harklight as they look between their master and the vampire. The blood on Slaine face scares her since she wouldn't forgive herself for failing to protect the person she cares for.
"I have promise Kaizuka san that I will grant his wish if he protects me and it is my duty to grant it."
"Isn't this too much Slaine?"
Harklight stood by her side with the same doubt on his face.
"I have to agree with her on this one. Marrying a vampire is a taboo and will cause disagreement in this land. This will cause the people to split sides and war among ourselves. Please think this through Troyard sama! I know you don't want to be the type that forget your own promise but this is too much. I will sacrifice myself to prevent this marriage from happening and force you back to the mansion if I have to." He shouts.
Slaine knows well that Harklight meant what he said but. . .
"We have the same dream." He said in a whisper but loud enough to be heard. "I have always dream that one day the immortals and us will unite so we can end this war between us. I want to see everyone smiling in happiness instead of being afraid of being attacked everyday. Many people lost their love ones as well as mine so . . ."
He grips his hand tightly.
"I want to do everything I can in my power to make this dream a reality. I, Slaine Troyard swear on my parents name that I will marry Kaizuka Inaho and change this world."
A bright light appears on the necklace surprising all of them. The bright light circle around their hand as an agreement made between them shaping like a tight chains tie around their wrist. There's no pain nor fear when the light comes to them since they know it happens because of the vow Slaine made on his parents.
"It looks like we can't do anything to stop this." Harklight sighs. "This is insane."
Slaine glance at Inaho only to see the vampire smiling at him.
"You're not a normal vampire aren't you?" He asked.
"Will it make a difference if I said that I'm a prince who will soon succeed the throne?" He asked back.
Crystal can only gasp in shock with her mouth wide open.
'I was about to said this is foolish but . . . that damn vampire is a prince?'
Slaine look at the vampire in awe. "It's possible isn't it? For us to change this world." The vampire response with a nod and then he knew that things from now on will get difficult as time pass by them.
