The Tears of a Prince

Best novel online free at LatestNovel.Net or SweetNovel.Net

"No running in the corridors! You're a prince." A voice echoed in the corridor and Kai looked behind him. There was a woman standing there, dressed with a long velvet dark green dress, her hair in a very strict bun on top of her head, black in the color of the midnight sky. 

He looked at her, his cheeks flushed from running, a stray strand of golden hair falling in front of his face from his carefully styled hair and he flashed her a stunning smile before he began running again. 

That woman was his caretaker, ever since he had been a child she was responsible for him and his siblings since their parents were too busy being themselves to care. She was strict and old but her heart was kind, as long as he followed the rules in the palace. 

Kai rushed inside his room, kicking the heavy door open. It was made from wood, dark with beautiful carvings on the outside and with his hands in the air he jumped on the canopy bed, the cold silk sheets slipping from his sweaty body. He took a few heavy breaths, his chest rising up and down as he turned, laying on his back, noticing Lun coming in after him, as exhausted as he was.

"You cheated!" Lun shouted and pointed at his friend. 

Kai shot up, as if he had been pinched in his sleep and looked at his best friend with a dramatic expression, placing his pale hand on his forehead.

"My dear friend, how could you think something like that of me. I beat you in this race fair and square" he told him, sounding like one of those poshy royals both of them seemed to hate. 

His best friends crossed his strong arms over his chest, tapping his foot on the polished floor, locking eyes with the prince that was already chuckling. 

"You used your powers." Lun said and Kai's eyes widened. He flashed right before his friend, placing his palms on his lips and stopping him from talking any further. While still handling him he took a few steps back, looking around at the corridor to make sure no one had heard that. 

"Do you want to get me whipped?" Kai asked him as he closed the door of his room. "You know it's illegal." he reminded him and Lun smirked. 

"Maybe I do want to get you whipped. When I agreed to spend time with you so you could get over your break up with Soran, even though you two decided to be friends, which is if you ask me, ridiculous, I did not expect you to actually cheat during our games." he said.

"I did not cheat you buffoon" he said, a pout on his handsome face. 

"You did."

"I did not." 

"You did!"

"Shut up, peasant!" Kai exclaimed and turned his back on him as he walked towards the balcony doors. He opened them, letting in the dry air of BloodBound, the color of the red sun above them landing on the black marbles of the balcony and disappearing. Kai stepped outside, placing his hands on the railings, cold metal, with vine designs and whitering roses. It was so pretty but at the same time so depressing. The roses were beautifully chiseled while their thorns were so sharp that they could rip your clothes if you weren't careful. 

Both of them were twenty years old, getting ready to graduate from the Academy. Kai with his blue eyes looked at his best friend. Lun had joined him, standing by his side on the small balcony, gazing at the kingdom before him. Bloody rivers, burned mountains and a scorching red sun. Low houses and squares filled with people, mansions and old streets. This place had existed for thousands of years but nothing had changed during that time. 

"I don't want to graduate." Kai said and Lun smiled, his eyes landing on where his house was.

"I don't want to either." he mumbled. 

They were two of the most famous people of BloodBound, each of them for their own reasons. Kai was known as the cheeky but incredibly gifted third prince, the one with the charming smile and the smooth moves on the dance floor. Every lady and…gentleman was a slave to his charisma and everyone was expecting his debut to the royal word. All he had to do was graduate from the Academy and then he would have to fully face his title. 

Lun on the other side was famous for being a savage. A door like man, tall with wide shoulders and a hideous tattoo on his back that signaled his uncivilized upbringing. Once he left the walls of their dorms at the Academy he would have to go back home, back to his father and their little…business. He would have to face the fact that indeed he was lesser and dirtier than the people that surrounded them. 

It was summer at the moment, they were preparing for their last years as they had returned for a short while home. Lun of course did not go back and followed Kai back to the palace, his friend practically dragging him in his carriage. He couldn't stand the royal aura without him, that was what he had said. 

"Do you think they will force us to stop being friends?" Kai asked. 

"I didn't think so. Why? Are you scared that you will have to hang out with your poshy cousins?" Lun asked him, an entertained grin on his face and Kai scoffed, rolling his blue eyes. 

"Yes."

"So all I am to you is a substitute? An escape? All these years you have been using me? Oh my, mother…how have I been fooled." Lun said, faking to faint and Kai punched his shoulder. 

"Leave your mother in her peace please." The prince said. "I don't like them. I don't like any of them." The blonde royal whispered and felt Lun place his palm on his shoulder. Kai froze for a second, meeting his friend's serious stare and believed that they were going to have one of these moments, one sacred minute he would have to cherish for the rest of his life. 

"They don't like you either you big spoiled retard." Lun said and his expression changed, from serious to playful and he started laughing, stopping abruptly when Kai punched him in the stomach, a sharp breath escaping his half opened lips. "I am sorry my lord." he groaned and Kai smiled before his eyes returned to the dark kingdom that spread beneath his feet. 

"After the Academy, don't leave, okay?" he said, not daring to look at his friend this time. He heard Lun sigh before his words reached his ears. 

"I won't. So don't leave me either." 

"I won't. I swear." he told him and smiled.  "I will race you, how about we go and get blood supplements from the kitchen?" The prince asked, suddenly getting cheerful again.

"You really need to get a human, you won't last long like that" Lun said and the prince scoffed, glaring at him with the corner of his eye. 

"I am fine, it's just that no human seems right. They all look bland."

"Seriously now? That's your reason for not choosing one? You must be…"

"I can still beat you even without drinking normal blood though." Kai exclaimed, interrupting him and getting ready to start running so he could defeat Lun when a loud sound was heard from far away. 

Both of them flinched, their heads snapping towards the source of the sound. Their jaws dropped, two young men looking at the sight before them in awe. On their left a bright green light was shining, the sound of thunder echoing throughout the whole kingdom. 

"What the…" Lun mumbled, blinking a few times just to make sure he was seeing well. 

Kai's blue eyes looked at the sight, hungrily. He knew exactly what was happening, what was that light but he didn't know why it happened. The prince looked at Lun, grabbing him by the shoulders and forcing him to look at him. 

"Do you know what this is? Do you have any idea?" Kai asked his best friend filled with excitement and the vampire frowned. 

"No, not really." he said, seeing Kai do a small happy jump.

"This" he told Lun and pointed at the green light that shone like a huge thin line in the sky. "This is the rift opening." he explained and his friend gasped.

"The rift? But..but why…" 

"I have no idea but Lun this means someone is coming from the human world!" Kai said and grabbed his friend from his wrist. "Come on. We need to get there and see who arrived and find out why they came." the curious prince said and the two young men rushed to the closed door, opening it in a hurry and running outside only to find an obstacle in their way. 

Tall and dressed with a green dress it was his caretaker, Belia, looking at them with a strict look.

"No running in the corridors. Go back inside, young prince." she instructed him.

"But…the rift." Kai said with a childish pout on his face. 

"Exactly, that's why you will stay inside. Werewolves are coming, they have a meeting with your parents." she explained. 

"Werewolves? I've never seen one before. Belia, let me go, please, pleaseee" he said but the woman didn't answer, she simply pointed at his empty room, forcing the two boys to go back in. 

"I guess that's it." Lun mumbled annoyed. 

"Oh, no it's not. We're jumping off." He said, his eyes glowing as he pointed at the balcony with his head. 

"You sneaky ba…I mean prince.." Lun said with a grin.
