“But, who got the mission to go to London was Benedict, even though he had just returned home.”
Evander continued, “Ben generously gave the mission to me, he who asked me to be given the mission to look useful and not too spoiled as the prince of darkness. Isn't that ironic? I agreed because I had to prove myself that the title of useless prince was just nonsense! I'm sure I can complete Ben's mission!”
“Yeah .. we must have tried to kill each other in the past for misunderstanding. Lucky you survived an accident in the middle of the sea! Maybe fate wants you to stay alive and get an explanation in this age. Suppose I could apologize to the sixth Count Dracula,” Peter regretted. “I should have killed Benedict!”
“Ehm kill each other? It's easy for you to kill me, Peter! I have no advantages like the other Count Dracula,” Evander said with a pity grin. “In an emergency I could not turn myself into a bat and escape from the arrowhead of the hunter.”
“You can escape and survive me because of your other advantages, you daywalker! I've been watching you since before you came here.”
Evander was heartbroken, “You probably wouldn't believe me saying that I only learned that ridiculous edge after getting lost in this age. Just one month ago, when I failed to explore the time to go home to the past.”
Peter chimed in with a chuckle, “As one of the princes of darkness, you are indeed a little useless. I somewhat agree with the opinion of the other dark princes now. You're also too honest and outspoken to the person you just met, Evander! That's dangerous, isn't it? But ... I like your nature, you speak for what you are and get straight to the point. Looks like Sheila likes you too!”
“Oh the girl ...,” muttered Evander while scratching his cheek. “Beautiful girl.”
“Sheila is alone. Ever since Darren Constantine moved to Germany, he hasn't received another man for a couple! Reportedly ... Darren is married to an Indonesian archaeologist, I think there is no reason for Sheila to keep waiting for her former lover!” firmly Peter.
“I'm a married man,” says Evander with bated laughter. “Not a bachelor again, Peter!”
“You can have more than one wife! Sheila will definitely be the best couple among all your wives later!”
“I can't complain Ana!” Evander grinned, assuring Peter that he was not interested in Sheila. Beautiful vampires are not her taste, Sheila's skin is too cold. His desires will not rise when they make out. Evander says it all in his heart.
Peter switched the conversation, “To be honest I want to know the news of the third prince, but he never again set foot in London. I myself am shackled in this country, unable to go to chase him to Transylvania. I really don't think Benedict could be that petty, subvert Alexander for his crimes, and deliberately feed you to me to be killed!”
“Isn't that the case of a thousand years ago? Why do you still want to hunt him?”
“Yes, including me. From the beginning I never intended to go back to Transylvania, I wanted to finish the mission and live in London. You know, a thousand years ago I bought an old house with a big basement. But I just got lost too far.”
“Your old house must have collapsed by now!” tease Peter.
“After knowing the facts, I have no mission to complete. Looks like I can stay in this age without having to go back in time.” Evander then explains his plan to go to Maine.
“You don't want to live in London? At least your dream to have a house in London can be realized even in a different year. You can have a modern home, not an old-fashioned one with a damp, dusty basement. You can live a normal life like a human being because you're sun-resistant. You obviously don't need a crate to sleep in!”
“I have to pick up my wife first. I can't let it go much longer without news!”
Peter raised both eyebrows, speaking in a more resolute voice. “You can call him now!”
“It was definitely not a surprise. I want to be a little romantic by coming to her!” evander said with a smirk sucks.
“You still use the old-fashioned way in this modern age. You have to adapt, buddy!”
Evander explained, “Actually I am quite adaptable, but my wife prefers the old-fashioned things that characterize her husband. Ah yes, I need a place to live, not in the city .. I love country houses! It looks like having a pretty good vineyard. For sure I need a large area for a flower garden. Ana loves roses!”
“Sheila could be heartbroken if you bring your wife here,” said Peter, still hoping Evander would consider Sheila, the adopted daughter of his relatives.
Evander chuckled, “I'm a very loyal prince of darkness, Peter! I love Ana ... love her very much.”
“Yeah, the point is you're a cowardly male vampire! I can't imagine how a prince of darkness called Count Dracula would be afraid of his wife? But all right, I'll help you find a house to live in as you wish. I'll let you know tomorrow!”
