The Lost Prince's

The Lost Prince's
Special Chapter 5 (Arion) Karma



I don't hate the world on the surface. But I never


thinking about settling on the surface. It is really full of


the humans. This was the first time I bought a house to live in. I found


his name is listed in a school to adapt vampires on the surface.


Of course that's the samara name he used to use, Zero. I went into school


named Humphire, hoping to find it soon. But even though it's


for months, I couldn't find it at all.


When I thought the list of names I got was wrong, I


find him! It really is him! Archie! I hurried to follow him to the section


behind school. He lay under a shady tree. Two eye bags


he seemed to be struggling next to his cheeks. I don't know what he did


during disappearance.


“I found you”, I said as soon as I approached her.


“Arion? Did you come to arrest me?”, he asked flatly.


He's this really sucks! How could he


using that flat voice on me after disappearing for two years. What


he didn't realize I'd been looking for him in every corner of the world?!


“I won't be able to doya” Even though it's actually me


wanted very. If only I were stronger than him I might have been


tie him up and question him and bring him back to Lucania. But it's not


maybe doing. Well, at least I found it. And at least he


looks fine, nothing has changed from him.


Zero is being indifferent to me. But there are really


freaky. He was defending a girl who was listening to our conversation. How


I was surprised to find that Zero lives with two hunters. Noth


that's all the girl was also staying at her house, with her sister. Her sister, Karen


really sweet but that half-vampire girl named Key doesn't seem to be


just beautiful outside. The girl's name is Key. He has brown eyes


beautiful and long black hair. The smell of blood is different from people


ordinary. I began to wonder what kind of person he was. According to Key's words,


Zero wasn't the one who changed him but he was attracted to his blood.


Key doesn't understand vampires at all. For us, the nation


vampire, there's one blood we want more than anything in the world,


the blood of a loved one. I already know Archi, I mean Zero


since childhood. And he had never wanted anyone's blood as an opponent


types of. I even thought Zero didn't turn down her engagement with Aileen's daughter


because he gave up on finding his own love. Aileen was like her sister


by oneself. So maybe it would be fine even if they ended up


married.


But now if Zero has someone he likes,


then the story will be different. I started to approach Key and became friends


with him. I want to get to know her more closely, curious about the girl who can


stealing Zero's heart. I even teased Zero about how he was


be tough on Key.


“You're too hard, Zero. How about trying to make Key scared


and run from you”


“It would be nice if he ran away from me”, Zero said flatly. It


sounds more pessimistic than I thought.


“Do not talk like that.You will cry if he


really run. Ah, but maybe I'll steal it before then


happened”


Zero looked at me sharply. His blue eyes looked fierce. I guess I


it made him angry.


“If you play him, I might kill you”


“If I mean it?”


Zero's gaze still drew sharply into my eyes. But


this time he did not look angry anymore. I feel a bad feeling about this.


“If you can make him like you, of course you should


earnestly, Arion”


I don't know why his words without this threat feel more


slashing my heart. What the hell does this mean? Didn't Zero like it? Could be


he just tried to give up? What he doesn't want to have a Key in


her side? Indeed, even if Zero meant it, it would not be easy to


has Key on his side. I can't believe he's giving up


just like that.


I'm getting close to Key. Until sometimes, I think I


maybe it went too far. I think Key is a lot more open to me


than when he was with Zero. But I can't stop. I realize that


Key is dangerous. The more I know him the harder it is to turn


Key was just an ordinary girl, an exhuman. Him


losing both his parents and his body slowly turned into a vampire.


But Key is really strong. Even after going through all that, he still stood up


rigid. It is not unusual for an exhuman to fall into depression or even change


becoming a mad vampire. Most cases are like that too. But Key is different. In spite of


in fact she had a severe trauma and a deep sadness, she was still


she was fighting to protect her sister.


Zero tries to get Key to abort his intention to retaliate


revenge, but he didn't make it. Key stays cool and learns to use


sword. He's talented. I may be the one who taught him, but I am too


people who are amazed at its development every day. Key is often moody and


difficulty holding the vampire side in him. It makes me want to stretch


hand and encourage him to stand up. But when his smile returned


expand, I made him unable to speak.


I don't want to start wondering, like, what


key's figure before experiencing this tragedy. What he was like while living as


ordinary humans? If melancholy and lust for revenge do not exist


to him, would he smile more brightly? Then.maybe, Zero.


see that figure? well, then, he deserved to fall in love. I can only


imagine it and wonder, but maybe Key will look so free


like freedom itself.


I've been acting stupid. And now it's too late


to retreat. Even though I knew the outcome, I finally told her how I felt


on Key. L loved her. It doesn't matter if she's the girl that's my best friend


like. Even if she loves Zero. I still love him.


Damnit damnit! I suddenly remembered Luke's words for years


then. I always had a few girls around me. I've been dating


all sorts of women. Nothing feels special to me. And I thought


so for them. We just had a little fun and broke up


just. I thought it would always be like this. Luke said not to play games


others are not willing to be affected by karma. You stiff man!


I stepped into one of the bars in Lucania. Tonight


deserted visitors, it seems everyone is preparing for the masquerade tomorrow. But


a regular customer at the bar was seen sitting in a corner of the room with a table


full bottle. I sat in the chair in front of him, grabbing one of the beer bottles at the table


and edifying.


“When are you back?”, the drunk asked. He's Zane, he's Zane,


archi's personal bodyguard. I don't know when the last time we talked was like


these.


“Today”, I sipped as many beers as I could


cubcan. “You can stop getting drunk now, Zane. He will also return”


Both of Zane's eyes grew bigger. And it seems like a hangover from the consequences


the beer he drank suddenly disappeared without a trace. “You're serious?!”


I'm nodding. Still holding a beer bottle in hand.


“Then why did you drink?”


“I just want to reduce my consciousness briefly”, I murmured.


“I think I got karmas”


“Didn't you expect him to come back too? Then why are you


look depressed?”


I've finished one bottle of beer. Grabbing that bottle


another and back down. “It's not about Archi. I was depressed because


my own fault”


I went back to beer. Zane looked at me with


concerned. But I don't care anymore. I really don't know what to do


how about after this. I took Key with me to Lucania because of him


insist on seeing Archi. I doubt he'll just come back after


say what he wants to say. After that what? Archi will return to


the palace as the successor to the throne. Key is an exhuman.


They can't be together like before.


Now I understand why Archi isn't really


chase Key. He was planning to give up and told me to mean it


to like. For his sake, Key should not have liked Archi.


Thinking of the road waiting in front of them really made my heart


disintegrated. Forget the trouble of my broken heart because of unrequited love. I


knew that from the beginning. And it was my own fault for falling in love. But


now, thinking that the two people who are most precious to me are going through


so many steep streets, I don't know what I can do.
