Jeno stared at Renjun's relaxed face. He was still on the floor, with the vampire in his arms and for some reason, maybe because he felt angry, he tightened the grip around him. He looked up, at his father and glared before a growl left his throat. He felt his eyes turn silver while his claws appeared, but did not harm Renjun at all. The brunette felt so soft in his arms all of a sudden.  

"Stand up and get away from that piece of shit." His father said and attempted to grab his shoulder, but Jeno just scratched his hand with his sharp claws. The warm blood touched his skin as he suddenly chuckled. "What is this filthy behavior?" The king hissed and slapped him across his face with force. Jeno felt his cheek burn, but he just kept on chuckling. He glanced once more at Renjun before he placed the vampire down. The knife was filled with his blood that was coloring the floor as well. 

The brunette stood up and dusted his knees a bit. He glanced with disgust at his father and kept the smirk on. 

"He was innocent." The prince said while he pointed with his claw at Renjun. "Why did you have to kill him when he worked so nice for you? Was it because he didn't manage to tell you where I was? Or was it because he eventually switched sides with me?" Jeno glanced at his mother. The queen seemed more than shocked and betrayed. "You're the filthy ones here did you know that?" 

"Watch your mouth!" The king barked and stepped forward towards his son. But Jeno was quicker and he managed to teleport himself in his mom's right, startling the woman. "Don't you dare hide behind her! Move aside! He needs to be punished." 

"W-Why don't we..." Jeno's mother was always a soft hearted person. It was his father who was the devil in that family and she was too afraid to protest or complain in front of her husband. Even in that moment, she was trying to calm them a bit. Still, in that moment, Jeno was too angered by the fact that Renjun was dead to think so he roughly grabbed her by her neck and pierced her flesh with his claws. The woman screamed in horror as she tried to fight him, but Jeno just chuckled. 

"You won't be able to escape mom. I'm too strong for you." The prince hissed and glared at his father. The king was frozen and had his eyes wide as hell. He was terrified and scared because he knew if he tried doing something, his wife would be dead in a matter of seconds. "Move and she's losing her head." Jeno growled and tightened the grip on her neck. "Just try and I won't have mercy." 

"You fucking psychotic, child." The man growled and clenched his fists. "Is it because of that half-breed? Are you doing this because he's dead?" 

Jeno laughed. "Why would I feel sad that he died? He's no one to me. I'm doing this because.... You fucking ruined my life." He whispered the last words in his mother's ear before his claws slit her throat. There was no scream of agony, nothing, just the sound of her choking in her own blood. Jeno let go of her and watched her hit the floor. The sight was something that made him smile before his eyes landed on his red hand. The red liquid was dripping from his fingers, falling on the ground with a deaf sound. 

"You said..." 

"Yeah, I changed my mind." Jeno wiped the blood on his white shirt as he met his eyes. His smile grew wider and wider, until his face was finally tired of smiling. "You'll pay too. I just wanted to hurt you before dying." 

"What happened to you, Jeno?" The king stepped forward, into the puddle of blood that came from his dead wife. When he reached Jeno, he clenched his fist. 

"Freedom happened, your highness." The prince bowed in mockery right before he clenched his bloody fist and directed his power onto his dad. "I'm so glad I also got your power." As he said that he chuckled. "Have a nice sleep." 

He could feel the man's heartbeat quicken a bit to rapidly which made the king widen his eyes and fall to his knees. His heart exploded in his chest and blood escaped his mouth while he glanced once more at his son. His father then fell on his right side and remained frozen. His eyes never closed. 

Jeno sighed loudly in relief. He stepped around his parents and approached Renjun. The vampire knelt next to him and for some moments he couldn't help but stare. He decided to take the knife out of Renjun's heart which he did. Blood dripped from its sharp end on the floor.  

"You will owe me so much, I hope you're ready for your payment." Jeno mumbled to himself before he brought his arm to his mouth and bit it. He then quickly brought it to Renjun's parted lips. He stared at the blood that fell in his mouth and when he was sure it was enough, he placed his palm on top of the wound and healed his arm quickly. 

One minute passed and then came the second one. Just then did he see a change in Renjun and the first thing was his hair that was changing to blonde. His way too pale skin slowly became healthy and after his eyes were wide open, the vampire sat up. 

"How the fuck am I alive?" Renjun asked and met his eyes. "How many powers do you even have?" 

"You are welcome." Jeno ruffled his hair before he stood up and stretched his arms above his head. "And to answer your question, three." He then sighed and glanced down at the older. Renjun was staring somewhere behind him and it took the prince few moments to realize he was staring at the king and queen that were dead. "We'll blame it on Jaemin." 

"What?" The blonde haired vampire suddenly jumped on his feet and grabbed Jeno by the collar of his bloody shirt. That brought the two closer. "Do not even dare..." 

The prince placed his index finger on his lips to make him shut up and smirked. "He's the enemy. What do you think people will believe more? The prince that killed his parents due to the past or the prince from the enemy dynasty that killed them for revenge?" He took his finger off and pulled his hand off his his collar as well. Renjun didn't reply. "See? He's our only option." 

"If he gets hurt because of you I'll murder you." 

Jeno chuckled at that. "Right. My own parents weren't able to do so but you will." He then stopped and glared at him. They were still close to each other so he took the chance and grabbed his chin. "Don't forget I saved you twice from death. Right now, I could have left you there on the floor with the knife in your heart. But did I do so? No. And you know why?" 

"Why?" Renjun hissed. 

"Because I'm a nice guy with those who work for me."
