Chapter 3 - Ice prince

The party was still going on and the night was getting brighter. Anthony didn't want to talk to anyone, he was drowned by his longing for Airin, but then Eliza approached him.

"What makes you daydream, my prince?" Eliza asked her hand without hesitation touching Anthony's chest.

Anthony immediately threw Eliza's hand from his chest, he knew that this beautiful woman in front of him was openly seduce him.

"What do you want from me?" Asked Anthony, he knew because Eliza was never interested in him, she was always chasing Alexander, but tonight she even approached him even though Alexander was not with anyone.

"I just want to get along with you, is that forbidden?"

"Absolutely not."

The smile on Eliza's face grew more and more, she took a step closer and more and more seductively, leaning over so that Anthony could see her cleavage.

"But I'm not at all interested." Anthony continued unexpectedly, he then just walked away and made Eliza a little pushed.

Eliza of course was annoyed, she must admit that the first time she came to the palace, she was immediately fascinated by Anthony's good looks, but because Anthony was not the king's first son so Eliza chose to approach Alexander who is also no less handsome than Anthony, but any woman will be more attracted to a man who is cold and mysterious like Anthony. And how happy Eliza is now that she hears that Anthony will become king someday so she will get Anthony somehow, her love and ambition are parallel now.

"Anthony." Called Eliza who continued to chase Anthony's steps.

"I already said that I'm not interested in getting along with you, so go leave me alone. "

Incredibly, Eliza's heart was pumping fast because she felt more and more challenged, usually, Alexander never refused, especially with her beautiful body, but this time Anthony made her try even harder to get him.

"At least dance with me just tonight. "

Eliza's spoiled tone reminded him even more of Airin, she always became spoiled when she lost arguments.

But Eliza is not Airin, Anthony doesn't want her at all even though it can be said that Eliza is the most beautiful woman at this party now, but Water but Airin is much prettier with her white hair, oh once again Anthony's thoughts return to Airin, making Anthony even more impatient waiting for the lunar eclipse to pass and he will return to find Airin.

"Come on, at least for the sake of my father who is currently looking at us with the king. Don't embarrass me, prince."

Eliza begged and she didn't lie because her father was currently watching her with the king. Anthony, who happened to turn to his father, saw how his father nodded as if he was also telling him to dance with Eliza.

"Only five minutes," Anthony warned coldly

"Then it will be my five precious minutes." Eliza smiled, she reached out and touched Anthony's shoulder, and finally, Anthony touched Eliza's waist.

"Your shoulders are very wide, I can lie on your shoulders for any length of time very comfortably." Whispered Eliza, she began to lay her head on Anthony's shoulder now.

"Don't expect much, you will never get this opportunity again in the future."

"We don't know what kind of destiny is, so don't speak as if you know the future. Your future could be me."

"Shameless delusion."

Eliza was about to answer Anthony's words, but Anthony suddenly pushed her away. "It's been five minutes." He said that without hesitation left Eliza who immediately felt irritated and embarrassed.

Alexander had noticed Anthony and Eliza for a long time and even though Eliza had openly teased Anthony, he did not pay any attention to it. This means that Anthony is already crazy about Airin.

"It seemed that the witch had taken hold of Anthony's heart."

Alexander smiled again, he raised his glass when his eyes met Anthony's.

Finally, the lunar eclipse which has always been a threat to the vampire clan and witches occurred tonight.

The torches helped with the lighting, but the whole country was very dark.

Anthony still stayed in his room, he was eagerly waiting for the next day to arrive all he had in mind was Airin and Airin and even needed several times when Anthony realized that Alexander was already standing at the door of his room.

"What brought you here? "Asked Anthony, he did not invite Alexander to enter his room, but he knew that his brother would enter without being invited.

"I just feel bored, you always go and rarely are in this palace, it makes me feel very lonely." Alexander replied, he was now standing next to Anthony who was still staring at the dark sky.

Anthony did not immediately respond to his brother's words, he only saw his brother's blue eyes which looked darker than before and almost turned black indicates that if Alexander has committed many sins, that is what the vampire clan lacks when making a deliberate mistake their eyes will darken even more.

"Why are you looking at my face like that? You hurt me, my dear brother," Alexander asked, but he sounded mocking.

"If you have nothing important to say you should go."

"Jeez, you treated me as a future king very badly, Anthony. It's almost time when my father will be gone so I will replace him, you should be nice to me or you will suffer."

"Are you threatening me or worrying about me? You should think about what sins you have committed to making your eyes almost black like an ordinary human."

Alexander laughed again, if only his father was gone, he would make sure that Anthony would also disappear from this universe.

"What sins are you talking about? Of course, our eyes will darken when the lunar eclipse comes."

"Is it true?" Anthony asked then he turned towards Alexander and showed his eyes, which still looked gray.

"How is that possible?" Alexander gasped because Anthony had not changed a bit.

"I'll tell you one of my little secrets that our father is hiding at this time." Anthony stepped closer to Alexander, his gray eyes slowly turning fiery red.

"Not even a lunar eclipse can take away my power."

"Impossible!"

"You want me to prove it? "Anthony grinned and his fangs were very clear and sharp.

"Your fangs ..."

"I can tear you apart right now, so it's best if you go and don't bother me or I will easily take your throne."

Feeling angry and helpless, Alexander finally chose to leave.

"You will pay for this humiliation, Anthony! " Alexander clenched his teeth, suppressed his anger, and then walked away from Anthony's room.
