Blue Demon and His Princess {bl}

Part 24: Connections

The doors opened, but the first thing everyone noticed was a heavy fragrance oozing out from the room. It also thick that people could actually see the physical form of the scent.

Asari: *smells, coughs. Roses?!

Seika: *feeling sick (has a sensitive sense of smell due to being half vampire).

Denis: *breathing through his handkerchief.

Genji: *dark expression.

Tabata: *not affected due to the goggles.

Suddenly a loud voice shouted out.

Voice: Natsuoooooo~!!!!! My love~!!!!

A man appeared in front of Natsuo, holding up a single rose. He had smooth tanned skin, looked to be about the same age as Seika, lean but muscular, and his face was very handsome. He had slightly turquoise eyes, black hair, and wore silk clothing. He was the king of 'Ala Rassi, Aniruddha.

Natsuo: *trembling.

Ani: Natsuo, you're cute as always. *winks.

Natsuo: Gross. . .

Ani: *beams, holding Natsuo's hands. I like that side of you too!

Natsuo: *disgusted.

Genji: *irked, takes Natsuo's hands away. You're making him uncomfortable.

Ani: *stands up. Hmph, so it's you, Genji. I also knew you would come.

Genji: *vein bulges.

Seika: Hey now, let's not do this at the entrance.

Ani: *beams. Seika! It's been awhile! *shakes hands with Seika.

Seika: *smiles. Yeah, you too Ani, you haven't changed a bit.

Ani: *laughs. Haha! It's good to see you again too, Denis, Tabata, and. . . *sees Asari. Oh? And who is this beauty?

Seika: *takes Asari's hand.

Ani: Oh?

Asari: Ah, nice to meet you, my name is Asari Katsura.

Ani: Heh~ My pleasure. I am Aniruddha, you can just call me Ani for short. *gives him a rose out of nowhere.

Asari: Thank you?

Seika: *takes out the Desert Behemoth flower. Here, a gift. And we also have some of its meat back at the entrance.

Ani: Shukraan! I already have your rooms ready. You must be tired from the journey so we could talk later during dinner.

Seika: Much appreciated.

Some young servants took over and lead everyone to their rooms. Like old friends, the servants all chatted happily with Seika and the others and looked excitedly at Asari and Natsuo.

Asari/Natsuo: ?

They entered their respective rooms.

Asari: Wow~

Their room was spacious, there was a large window that showed the garden and the kingdom below. The bed was made of real fur and had a silk curtain around it and the walls were of colorful and intricate designs.

Seika: Pfft~ He gave us the so called "love room" but I probably shouldn't tell Asari that. . . *sits on the bed, licks his lips.

Asari: *walks over to Seika. Thirsty?

Seika: A bit. . . . *has Asari sit on his lap.

Seika opens up Asari's shirt and let's it hang off his shoulders. He licked and sucked on the skin a bit then bit down gently on the tattoo and began to suck.

Asari: . . *waits patiently while clutching onto Seika's shoulder.

Seika: *finishes. Pwah~ So tasty!

Asari: *chuckles. Hey, Seika? How did you become friends with Ani-san?

Seika: *buttons up Asari's shirt. You may have noticed, but he doesn't seem to have any family members around.

Asari: *nods.

Seika: When I first came to this place years ago, 'Ala Rassi was being ruled by a tyrant. It was then I met Ani who was the young leader of a large group of rebels. He and I took down the tyrant and the palace with the rebels and then he was nominated king by the citizens.

Asari: And you did this a few years ago?! Still in his teens. . . So young, that's incredible!

Seika: Ahaha~ I did a lot of crazy stuff when I was young.

Asari: *laughs.

The two talked the day away until they were called out for dinner. Ani hosted an outdoor dinner party at the main garden. Beautiful lights decorated the area, there was music and lots of food. Many former rebel members came over to talk to Seika about the old days.

Later, Seika and Ani sat at a table at a corner and watched the others have fun. Asari was dragged over by Natsuo to have fun with the little servants.

Ani: A Katsura huh? I knew you were risky and I like that about you, but you have heard about the them, yes?

Seika: I have a basic idea. That's why I wanted him to meet you.

Ani: *grins. Oh? Backup? You got it. My own military isn't something to laugh at either.

Seika: Thanks. I want him to have some support and make connections.

Ani: They're their own type of race you know? There's not much information about them except that they have their own country and that they're extremely capable.

Seika: Their military?

Ani: Not only that, they rose to power and became the second strongest country in the world in a matter of ten years. That's pretty amazing. Plus, they have the royal bloodline.

Seika: Heh~ So lets just call them a bunch of rich people with a rich heritage.

Ani: *laughs. That's right! Does he know about you?

Seika: Yeah, I told him everything.

Ani: Oh? And what about him?

Seika: *shakes his head.

Ani: Aren't you curious?

Seika: I am, but I'll wait until he's ready to tell me himself.

Ani: How sweet, I'm so jealous~

Seika: *chuckles. Then maybe you should stop your harem and start settling down.

Ani: You know it's not that easy.

Seika: I'm kidding~ Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming, I still think it's incredible how I was given a chance to meet Asari. I strongly feel that this was fate.

Ani: *gasp. Now I'm really jealous!! Maybe I should travel the world for a lover too. . .

Seika: *grins. You wouldn't do that.

Ani: True, I love this country too much. I can't bare to leave it. In a way, I guess you could say that this country is my lover.

Seika: That's the biggest harem I've ever seen.

Ani/Seika: *laughs.

The party begins to die down, Denis and Tabata had already went to sleep in their rooms. And awhile ago, Seika and Natsuo disappeared with the servants. . .
