Xan was placed on the top floor of Lun's mansion. Of course he had requested a floor just for him, he had said very openly he would not stand being in the same floor with peasants or annoying worms like Lun. 

The owner of the mansion of course obliged and offered him everything he had asked for and now after stirring the pot and making Kai reach his limit had decided it was time for him to rest after his long journey. 

He climbed up the swiveling stairs, staring outside at the hill during the night. His blue eyes matched perfectly with the coldness of his behaviour. He looked down upon everyone, the direct opposite of his beautiful younger brother and he didn't care at all what others thought about him. He had learned a long time ago to ignore the stares and whispering. A king couldn't consume himself in such lowly things. 

The crown prince opened the door of his floor and faced a very wide lounge, decorated with dark colors. Shades of black and purple in the couches and armchairs with a wide door led to a big balcony. The man clicked his tongue, seeing that the colors didn't match his aesthetic at all and he cursed silently Lun. 

He checked the two remaining doors, one on the left of the lounge and the other on the right. One was the bathroom with black tiles and a spacious shower. He closed the door of the bathroom and headed towards what seemed to be the bedroom. 

He was unpleasantly surprised when he entered the room though and found Lun lying on his bed, his shirt off smirking at him.

"Hello sweetheart" he told him playfully and Xan snorted.

"Get off and get dressed. You're ridiculous." He told him and the young vampire winked at him. Lun's body was perfectly sculpted, with beautiful muscles and on his back a tattoo spread from the top to the bottom. Camellia flowers filled the background with black ink while in the middle of the design he had a black crow, his wings wide open.

Xan stared at it while the man got dressed and his handsome face got diformed by his disgusted expression. 

"Is that magic ink?" He asked and the man nodded as he turned around. "As if it weren't obvious enough that you belonged to the underground you had to get that atrocity on your back too" he insulted him but Lun laughed and took a step closer. 

"It's a family thing, I couldn't say no, actually I've come to like it." He told him. "I think it's well made."

"Yes, a well made embarrassment. I can't believe that the palace trusts…."

"I'm not really a bad guy you know" 

"You and your whole family are bad. And the funny thing is you're not even interested in hiding it. It's ridiculous really. The fact that I have to stay in your house, the house of someone who you used to be a lowly peasant and now is mafia it's a disgrace on its own" 

Every time Xan opened his mouth he did it to simply insult Lun. He always found very creative ways to show him that his fortune was painted with blood. Lun though didn't falter, he just walked closer, his eyes gentle as they met his. Xan didn't step back, he believed it would seem as if he was retrieving, everything in his mind is a strategic battle and he was not willing to lose from Lun. 

The vampire touched a strand of the snowy hair. It had fallen off his hairstyle while he vigorously insulted him, a small curl falling in front of his forehead.

"Don't touch me." Xan said between gritted teeth and slapped Lun's hand away. 

"Why do you hate me that much?" Lun asked him.

"I hate because of what you are." Xan told him cruelly. 

"Really? I remember a time you didn't treat me like this. Could it be that you don't hate me but my family name? After what happened to Kiula...you changed and…"

"Don't you dare talk about him!" Xan said, raising the tone of his voice for the first time. He looked at Lun filled with anger while he raised his arms in defeat. 

"I didn't want to upset you." Lun said.

"You didn't want to upset me. You didn't want to bother me. Your family didn't want to kill my lover...what did you want Lun?" Xan asked him.

"My family did not kill your lover Xan and you know it." He said and the prince laughed. It was a soulless laughter, echoing angrily in the four walls of the spacious bedroom. Lun's heart ached as he watched him react like that. His insults didn't bother him, he had heard things like that before, the hateful words and his downgrading stares were fine too. He still treasured him in his heart for what he used to be, maybe it was foolish of him but he couldn't stop it. 

What was torturing him though was the fact that he blamed him. He blamed Lun that his lover had died even though he hadn't done anything.

"You are such a hypocrite."

"And Kiula was an addict! He died because he was a junky! My family had nothing to do about it. Your poshy royal boyfriend died because he never knew how to stop." Lun said, clenching his fists to the side. Xan's eyes widened, pure hatred reflected in them as he engraved Lun as an enemy in his mind. He grabbed him by his collar, raising his arm and meaning to punch him but he didn't do it. He pushed Lun back.

"Get out" Xan said.

"Xan...I…"

"You have no idea how hard I tried...you….get out!" He shouted at him. 

The vampire knew he shouldn't stay here any longer. He had messed up, in every way possible and he had angered him. Xan never yelled, he never tried to hit anyone and tonight he had managed to make him attempt both. His head fell, defeated he placed his hands in his pockets and headed out, not even exchanging a glance with him. 

As he got down the stairs he locked eyes with Kai, his best friend seeing him from the corridor concerned.

"Are you alright?" Kai asked him and Lun gifted him a bitter smile.

"Can you talk with me for a while. There is something I need to tell you" he told Kai and the prince nodded, shocked by how the man did not look confident and proud like he always did. Lun joined him in the corridor, walking side by side as they headed to Kai's room. "It will be me nagging mostly."

"Alright. I don't mind" Kai said with a giggle.

"And I want to tell you a story."

"A story?" Kai asked intrigued as they entered his room.

"Yes."

"I am all ears then"
