"Ugh, is there a hungry vampire around?"
Hearing that sentence made Demian shift his gaze, observing a man who had just smiled with a distinctive smile and his eyes gleaming, although of different colors, as he was not from the upper class, hence the glow of his eyes remained yellow, but Demian did not like the arrival of that person.
Demian's fingers wiped the remaining blood at the corner of his lips and slightly savored the scent of vampire-like blood with clearly visible fangs. "It's none of your business, even if I'm hungry, I won't ask for your help!" Demian asserted.
"Poor vampire, he has to find food on his own in the midst of a big city, while his vampire kin is sitting pretty in the kingdom because there is already fresh blood provided to be enjoyed by their Lords."
Demian did not care about that. He had experienced that luxury before until eventually he became like this, but he did not regret anything at all, he had gotten used to his new life.
"I don't care." Demian responded very indifferently.
"I don't care, but don't you miss enjoying your life in luxury, not living like this where everything has to be fought for?" The vampire continued to provoke Demian, as it seemed he wanted Demian to fight for what he should feel, which was to return to the Vampire Kingdom and enjoy the luxury of it all.
Demian shook his head. "There's nothing I miss." Demian kept everything to himself.
"Stubborn, though the last time you were stubborn, it was the beginning of you losing a lot of things."
The night atmosphere that was truly cold and also silent became even more silent, as no one spoke. Demian was lazy to respond further, he chose to remain silent, he just remembered his past.
"Will you continue to live like this? Will you continue to be someone so stubborn?"
Demian shifted his gaze, he looked at Gavriel seriously. "Even if I'm not alive anymore? Do you still feel that you are a living human?"
From Demian's question, it was very clear that he was touching on their identities that were no longer human, because fundamentally Vampires are people who are already dead, no longer living humans.
"Oh ... it turns out you still remember your identity as a Vampire?" Gavriel looked at Demian seriously, even furrowing his brow."Then, do you still remember that you are not an ordinary vampire, but a prince?"
The question made Demian silent, he did not forget his identity, but he had been deeply hurt by his own people, more precisely from his Royal Family, so Demian had long tried to forget who he was and he preferred to live according to what he wanted.
"A Prince without anyone who believes in him is no better than an ordinary person trusted by a Princess." Demian imagined the beginning of when he met Sherina, where at that time Sherina immediately asked him to be her partner at her wedding ceremony.
"What do you mean? Have you found a Princess, but from which kingdom does she trust you?" Gavriel did not believe in that, he became very curious about the answer Demian would give.
"Not your concern, because she is mine."
For a moment, Gavriel fell silent, he looked at Demian seriously. "You are not in a relationship with a Princess from another kingdom or from the human race, right?" Gavriel became suspicious of this, but Demian casually smiled.
"Whoever she is, you don't need to know, because she is mine!"
"Yes, indeed, she is yours, but with your lineage and also your identity as a Silverstone Vampire Prince, you should be able to better choose what you will choose, because later it could make you in trouble if you choose the wrong partner."
Demian casually nodded. "Whatever I have chosen is something I will never regret, even if my choice becomes a problem later on, because the one who will face the problem will be me and the one who will be asked to solve it will surely only be me."
"Well, it's up to you. I have reminded you of all that, that what you do today will impact the future."
"I know.Well, you better return to your place now, don't stay here too long. Have you not thought that later they will find out that you are with me and it will be a problem for you?"
Gavriel also did not forget that after the big incident that made Demian no longer stay in the Kingdom, not even in the Vampire Nation area.
"It's up to how it will be later, I have wanted to meet you and it is not easy for me to find you."
Gavriel was a good friend of Demian, even though they were of different castes, but they were often together, which was not strange if Gavriel missed Demian and wanted to talk to Demian, even if it's just to ask about Demian's well-being.
"I don't want you to bear the consequences. Maybe you can return now, after all, I have to go back, before my beloved wakes up from her sleep." Demian did not forget that he left Sherina who was still asleep, and he did not know when Sherina would wake up.
Gavriel fell silent for a moment, until finally Gavriel nodded. "Alright then, but before you and I leave, you must remember that at the end there is a female corpse that you have not taken care of." Gavriel pointed to where the person whose blood Demian had sucked was.
"Do you want to hear news about a person dying with mysterious wounds?"
Demian carved a small smile, until finally Demian used his power to make the person disappear and Gavriel nodded.
"Alright, see you another time. I would be very happy if you would return to where you should live, not stay in a human place like this."A smile full of hope was clearly visible on Gavriel's lips, but Demian did not give an answer.
They went in opposite directions at such a fast speed, even looking like shadows darting away.
