Capítulo 170: 5.20

"What the fuck is this comic?"

Jia Hyson who was about to shove a handful of chips into his mouth paused and twisted his neck to the side where Mr Garth was sitting. "It's a commentary about how one should not judge a book by it's cover, and to question everything, which was inspired from the ideas of self-awareness and the psychological changes of society today as we enter the age of the internet which have produced an increasing number of problems in faking one's identity."

Mr Garth rolls his eyes. "Damn Alaric, save it for a teacher."

Now it was Jia Hyson's turn to roll his eyes, "Damn Mr Garth, but you're the teacher."

Mr Garth: Oh. Right. I am a teacher.

Seeing the older vampire's stupid face of realization Jia Hyson laughed and continued his previous action of shoving his handful of chips into his mouth. The salty crunch of chips in his opinion was much better when they completely filled your mouth. The only problem was it wasn't a flattering image at all.

The rather shameless Mr Garth does not bother to act sheepish and instead levitates some tissue paper and lightly wipes Jia Hyson's face with a sigh. "You're going to get chips on my couch."

"Your couch has had worse on it though." Jia Hyson who had finished chewing and swallowing stuck his tongue out playfully, "Besides, I've seen how you've clean. As long as it's not stains, you can do whatever anyway."

It was true. With Mr Garth's level of power he could slightly sweep off all the dust and crumbs off surfaces easily. After all with some concentration he could mentally manipulate, to some degree, 'feel' the surrounding air of objects and with this perception accurately capture the lightest debris and litter to lift up and throw away.

Even though one could argue that telekinesis was a fairly basic power, it was because of it that Mr Garth had a vast supply of references and ideas for his ability. Therefore his comprehension and flexible use of his own power was one of the best in the coven. That coupled with his straightforward strength, really did earn him a well-deserved reputation as a powerhouse. Unfortunately the crippling migraines, short temper as a result of the headaches and some other limitations made it hard to rank him very high compared to some others.

"Just because I can doesn't mean I want to, damn," Mr Garth reached out and pinches the younger vampire's cheeks making him shriek a little in surprise and pain. "You're such a little brat, what happened to the refined and put together Alaric huh?"

"Wu- it's because you're always making a mess of me that there's no point in being put together ah." Even through the sharp pain of his cheek being pinched, Jia Hyson still couldn't stop his mouth from quipping back.

Mr Garth lets go and tilts the other's chin up for a rough kiss before breaking away and lightly hitting the other's head with the comic his group had made. "Mouthy." He complains but the affection couldn't be hidden.

Jia Hyson rubs his abused cheek and smiles, his blue eyes shining, "Could say the same to you too, really."

"You're right," Mr Garth nods easily then smiles lewdly, "As two mouthy individuals, I feel like we're obligated to do something about this."

"Oh?" Jia Hyson feigns ignorance as he leans closer to his teacher.

"Yeah, like, giving something for our mouthy mouths to do." Mr Garth kisses him gently on the mouth.

Jia Hyson chuckles, "You sound like a perverted old man, but a cute one."

Mr Garth gives another peck, a little addicted at the salty taste of the others lips. "I do my best," He replies humbly before cheerfully showering the other with many small kisses reminding Jia Hyson a little of a hungry chicken pecking on rice.

"You do," Jia Hyson chuckles and, like a sly snake, waits for the older man to kiss him somewhere close to his lips before he tilts his head, catching the kiss and deepening it aggressively making the other who was just being playful, moan at the sudden increase in intensity.

Using this momentum, Jia Hyson pushes the other down onto the couch and finally separates their locked lips in order to nip and nibble at the older man's neck and sensitive earlobes, making him shudder and weakly protest. "H-hey, we have to get back to grading remember?"

Jia Hyson gives the other a strange look, "What do you mean, we?"

Mr Garth: …Right, he was the teacher.

Usually Mr Garth would not mind shoving off work for more sex, but for one, he was really late in sending back the grades, and two, and possibly most importantly… He sensed his position as the top in this relationship was in danger.

Looking at Alaric, the petite and beautiful boy, and recalling the last few times the other had pushed him down and turned him into a gasping mess… Mr Garth flushes nervously. It wasn't like he didn't understand. Even if the other looks like how he did, and preferred to wear feminine clothing, Alaric was still a young man who was also interested in taking the men's role during sex.

And, given how good the other was with everything else, Mr Garth was sure it… wouldn't feel too bad… (⁄ ⁄>⁄ x ⁄<⁄ ⁄)

But he still couldn't mentally prepare! After all, he was a big hairy man! Could he really let himself get fucked by his pretty effeminate student?? More importantly, he wasn't cute at all. Mr Garth didn't want to admit it, but he worried Alaric, with his minimum experience and penchant for beautiful things, would find himself too unattractive in that sense.

Unaware of Mr Garth's thoughts but knowing he didn't want to progress in this manner, the younger vampire moves off the muscular body reluctantly and lets the other sit up.

Seeing the erection bulging through the other's pants though he smiles provocatively as a fun little idea pops into his mind. " Well, I suppose, if you're really insistent on working hard, I can reluctantly make a compromise in order to support your work ethic."

Mr Garth raises an eyebrow, calming his breathing already. Immediately he regains his cocky confidence. "Oh? What did you have in mind brat?"

It wasn't because he was arrogant that he could chains tunes so fast. It was just that during their time together he had found that Alaric and himself had a good tacit understanding, especially in bedroom matters. If he gives an excuse, the younger vampire would usually not push him further. While it felt a bit shameful to have someone a few hundred years his junior act so considerately toward him, Mr Garth was grateful nonetheless and felt a little guilty.

He even regretted a little not letting the other try go a little further. Mr Garth inwardly sighs as he watches Alaric kiss his cheek before slinking down to the floor and sat between his knees in an obvious show of what he was about to do.

"You read and do your work," Alaric smugly and assertively orders as he presses his cheek against his teacher's inner thigh while his hands unzip the other's pants. "I'll do the rest."

Mr Garth swallows. "Sounds good."

Ah, he was really stunning, and they were so compatible. Maybe it's because of their similar tastes and the fact that he personally could not imagine doing something to a man like himself. But then again, if that was the case with Alaric, he wouldn't sleep with him in the first place.

Mr Garth's breathing begins to pick up as Alaric fishes out the half hardened cock from his pants and starts to lewdly lick the the shaft from the base to the top, sucking the head and gazing up at him with his sultry blue eyes.

Understanding the provocative look in his partner's eyes, he extends his arm and combs his finger's through the other's silky black hair and cups the curve of his head. Like this, he slowly pushes the other's head toward him, making the other slowly swallow down his thick and erect dick down his throat.

The feeling of the tight warm throat swallowing around him was the best. Mr Garth didn't understand at all, how the other was so naturally talented at this.

Whenever he moved too fast, the younger vampire would lightly pinch him in warning, controlling the pace. Even when Mr Garth was demanding there was always a sense that he could only be so arrogant because the young vampire let him be, giving him a sense of crisis.

Alaric was charismatic now that he had gained a sense of maturity. He had a strong power, good intelligence, even better emotional intelligence, a sense of responsibility, young, beautiful, and was also very sexually skilled. To be honest, Mr Garth on some level knew all this but when he watched the livestream starring Alaric, he had been aroused but more than that he had been distressed and jealous as he saw the sheer number of fans watching as well.

Secretly, when he saw all the praises and love, and how Alaric clearly ate it all up, he felt a deep unease like he will be thrown away the moment the other became bored.

His little lover was so good. Wouldn't he get tired of him? When he was young he was fickle and full of sexual exploration. Alaric who had so much enthusiasm toward sex was probably similar to him and will soon realise that there was no fun in clinging to one person all the time.

Mr Garth, didn't want that. And he also didn't want to restrain and tie the other down when he was so young. What he wanted was for Alaric to want to be with him. Not because he didn't know anyone else and didn't know anything better, but because he had seen the world and came back to him.

It's just… the lack of any guarantee Alaric would ever come back now truly scared him.

But he was also more scared about Alaric hating and tiring of him more.

While he wanted to be a mature vampire about this, he felt more like a very large child insisting on lying so hard that he could even lie to himself.

Though he insists on the surface to Alaric that they were sex friends on trial to be lovers, Mr Garth had long started thinking up ways to pamper the other so Alaric will never be truly satisfied with anyone else.

"Nmh- hey, what's wrong?" Jia Hyson could feel the other's mind slipping away. Despite the hard cock that had been in his mouth saying otherwise, he could tell from the vampire's other actions that he suddenly became less enthusiastic and more absentminded.

Sweetly he rests his cheek against the other's inner thigh again and looks up at his teacher, however the affectionate image was slightly ruined by the fact the other was still idly stroking the thick, and girthy erection with his hand. The implication that the other still expected sex after having a small talk about feelings was really… perfect ah.

Jia Hyson: 'Oh, he's excited again.'

Bebe: 'How did you know? He didn't change his expression at all.'

Jia Hyson: 'He twitched.'

Bebe: 'Bebe was watching, no he didn't.'

Jia Hyson: 'Oh trust me. (,ಡ w ಡ,,) He twitched.'

Bebe: ಠ_ಠ Dis. Gus. Ting.

Darrian Garth looks down and smiles, there was a flicker of an emotion Jia Hyson couldn't completely read before it quickly disappears. In its place was a sexy and cocky expression, with only a trace of anxiety and shame that made Jia Hyson even more attracted to the other. His blue eyes darken with lust but forces himself to hold back. After all, while he was deeply interested, the older man clearly was still not ready to try to switch their positions.

Jia Hyson didn't particularly mind too much. While it was a bit disappointing, he had lived with a few lives with complete gongs well enough, and none of them had telekinetic powers that would give him invisible hand jobs, so. _(:3」∠)_ He's not unsatisfied.

But then Mr Garth says: "I was just thinking, well, if it's just fingers… we could try it, that is, if you wan- ah!"

The older vampire stifles his unmanly gasps as Alaric immediately and enthusiastically licks his fingers before attacking the other's cock with his lips and tongue. As Alaric swallows down Darrian's dick, moving his tongue and licking the underside fervently as his thin fingers slip into the other's clothes and moves lower until he felt his teacher's hole, twitching in anticipation.

Raising his brows, Jia Hyson chuckles, the vibrations stimulating the sensitive skin of Darrian's shaft, causing the older vampire to tense and groan. "Mhngh.. ah.. Alaric…" Lifting his hips subconsciously, Jia Hyson does not stop him and relaxes his throat to accommodate the man's throbbing dick sliding deeper into him, almost close to fucking his throat.

However even if his mouth was passive, his fingers were anything but as the first digit had slowly entered Darrian's anus. Feeling the tightness around his finger and the way his teacher's hole contracts and clenches, Jia Hyson almost chokes as his breathing turns unsteady in his excitement just imagining his own dick entering Darrian eventually.

Darrian found out quickly it was not just Alaric's mouth but even his fingers were incredibly skilled. But then again, in retrospect, when he recalls the way the other had seamlessly fingered himself to completion during the stream, the older vampire was no longer as surprised.

Just… incredibly aroused at the thought that those beautiful fingers that was often fucking Alaric were inside him. He could feel the drool and pre-cum leaking from his lover's mouth, dripping down his balls and trickling downward where it served to act as lubricant for Alaric who was thrusting his finger in and out of his hole, slowly loosening it for more.

Every time the finger pulls out, Darrian couldn't help but pant harshly as the sensitive nerves around his ass responded with a strange excitement at each movement, making Darrian who was always a pleasure seeker, yearn for more, spreading his legs wider to give Alaric more access. Truth be told, Darrian didn't expect to feel it so much, but there was a sense of humiliation to let Alaric play with his ass like this that sparked the flame that was always ready to be lit.

As one finger became two, then three, it quickly descended into a sloppy mess as Alaric fucks his teacher almost violently, plunging four fingers, soaked with saliva and cum into the spasming and eager hole. "Ah, Ahnn~! Mnghh~! I- uhnn~!" Mr Garth splutters and moans incoherently, sweat dripping from his flushed face as his dick slaps against his stomach as his now completely naked body rocks helplessly under the waves of pleasure. His stomach was already coated with streaks of cum, clear to anyone who saw that the man had already completely let go and succumbed to his base desires.

"So slutty," Jia Hyson chuckles.

His voice was still raspy due to their first round, which ended with Darrian uncontrollably thrusting against his finger, hitting the back of his throat ruthlessly and orgasming into his mouth, forcing Jia Hyson to swallow around it and making the other shudder even more, pumping more semen in the throes of ecstasy. The pain, pleasure and sheer arousal of watching his sexy older teacher lose all control and inhibitions under him had made Jia Hyson come as he gagged and swallowed the other's essence.

This sort of usually soft and gentle voice, roughened and deepened by sex, was an extremely provocative sound that Darrian wanted more of. "Ah.. uhnn.. ahh- ahlaric~" He slurs out as he opens his arms up, subconsciously begging for closeness and comfort. "Hah.. I'm.. nhnnnmm.. close…"

Jia Hyson picks up the pace and leans over. While the position was a little awkward given their size difference, in order to satisfy and properly meet the other's needs, Jia Hyson did his best. Pumping his fingers with increasing speed he stretches out and does his best to hug the man's large heaving chest with his free hand, lightly kissing his pectoral muscles, collarbone and neck, barely able to graze the other's chin with his lips. His own hard leaking dick was pressed against his teacher's firm body, rubbing against it lewdly.

"You're ah.. amazing Darrian, hngn, better than I ever imagined, so good," He murmurs between his own breathy moans. Jia Hyson only regrets he wasn't taller so he could kiss the other deeply.

Darrian must also share the same sentiments as suddenly an invisible force pushed them to change positions, with Jia Hyson now being the one lying on his back. Darrian was now kneeling, almost sitting on his thigh, panting harshly, a leg in between Jia Hyson's own the knee nudging against Jia Hyson's erection. Jia Hyson's fingers, which were still in that warm tight ass, clenches involuntary in response to this sudden movement, causing Mr Garth to gasp and lean over, kissing Jia Hyson furiously, which he accepts and reciprocates with similar fiery passion.

As they entangle their lips and tongues together they both grunt and groan as their bodies rub against each other, before they finally spilled with a cry of rapture. Hugging each other close, Jia Hyson slowly slips his fingers out of Darrian's spasming and twitching hole, enjoying how it seemed to wish to grip his fingers possessively while the larger vampire sighs and hisses into his ear.

They bonelessly basked in the afterglow together, Mr Garth especially clung to the smaller body of his lover, a little embarrassed but not regretful.

In retrospect, Mr Garth was not sure why he felt so worried about this particularly thing beforehand. He had felt so insecure like a virgin, not cool at all.

As the older and more experienced one in the relationship he should be the aggressive and dominant one. However as time moved on and the relationship between them grew both stronger and more tacit, he had instead become more timid and frustratingly insecure about the relationship. He did not particularly enjoy that aspect growing inside him at all and the self awareness made him worry even more.

Even though Mr Garth was much older than Alaric, he was still considered relatively young for a vampire and understood he also had much room for growth, both in character and sensibility. This sense of unease… He understood instinctively that it could not be left alone but had to be cut while it was still budding.

Releasing his grip a little he looks up and sees Alaric smile gently and indulgently at him, despite his lewd cum-stained appearance that was too sinful for the faint of heart, he still finds the other hopelessly lovely like an angel. Mr Garth's heart skips a beat and he impulsively reaches to tug him close again, kissing him on his messy mouth passionately again.

"Wai-! Nhmmm…"

Alaric who struggles a little in surprise, immediately stopped and melted into the embrace, hugging the other closer and allowing himself to be devoured with soft moans. Feeling the other's heat and affection, the older vampire's heart hardened with resolve.

He will let Alaric go. Alaric deserves the opportunity for a choice and he had no right to stop that just because he wanted to. So no matter how it hurts, and how the anxiety eats him up, Darrian Garth will let him go.

And when he does, he will prepare a sweet, sugarcoated web to eventually coax back his icy blue butterfly back into his hands.

After the kiss, Mr Garth pulls away, both of them equally breathless and aroused. The older vampire chuckles hoarsely and intimately uses his thumb to wipe off some of his cum off the other's soft and flushed face.

"Alaric," He says with a smile, "When you go to the academy let's break up."

….

Entering the academy for the first time Jia Hyson had to admire the architecture. It seemed the author was very inspired by a certain famous wizard series when they designed this academy in mind.

Even if he hadn't a very hardcore fan of the series, he had still read and watched enough that a part of him was still very excited looking at the scenery. No matter one's opinions on the series, the castle used in that series was objectively a beautiful piece of work that gave a sense of regal fantasy.

Straightening his navy blue tie, and making sure his dark blue blazer was immaculate with minimum wrinkles, Jia Hyson turns to Prince Silas and falls silent. Then he sighs, "You- how can you not know how to tie a tie? We're already past the age of thirty now, aren't you ashamed?" He subconsciously fell into nagging as he grabs the halfheartedly tied up piece of cloth and starts to untangle it.

Prince Silas' black eyes look down at the serious appearance of Alaric and hums in quiet acquiescence. "Teach me next time?"

"I suppose I have to," Jia Hyson sighs emotionally as he deftly fixes the other's tie. He then pats the other on the shoulder heavily, and seriously tells the prince, "My friend, if you really want to chase me, I must inform you, I'm looking to raise a boyfriend, not a child."

It's not like he didn't hate a lazy lover, but Silas was really just too lazy and the initial impression was too strong. Even if he was better now, it was still hard to bear when you imagine him as a work partner much less a potential romantic partner.

Immediately, the prince straightened his back and gave him a serious look. "Teach me and I will learn." He earnestly says.

Jia Hyson could practically see sparkles from his eyes and was momentarily dazzled. After all the man was undeniably incredibly good looking, even among the beauty of vampires, it was only his tired and lifeless aura that muted the handsomeness by a few levels. But seeing Prince Silas so full of vigorous and completely focused on you… even Jia Hyson felt his knees feel a little weak.

Jia Hyson subconsciously blushes, "Hm, well, I was going to anyway." He hums before walking ahead. Prince Silas perks up and trots after him.

Bebe: 'Damn, you really have a type.'

Jia Hyson: 'Hotties?'

Bebe: 'Enthusiastic handsome people that like to slide on the idiot spectrum.'

Jia Hyson: '…No wonder we're bonded together then. It's a pity you're not that enthusiastic and I've never seen your face so I can't evaluate your looks.'

Bebe: '…' Damn.

As they continued walking, surrounded by their peers who held varying excitement and enthusiasm toward their surroundings as they dragged their suitcases, backpacks, and in some cases- a trolley full of suitcases- Jia Hyson glances at a strange but beautiful large humanoid sculpture. She had a veil over her head, horns, a halo and black wings that sprouted from her hips. She was carved with lapis lazuli, a symbol of the night sky, with edges of gold and black diamond for her feathers. It was the symbol of the academy.

This was St Lailah Academy, and this was the angel Lailah.

Lailah is, in myth, the Jewish angel of conception, childbirth and the night, as well as a protector of children. She is not a very famous angel but she was one appointed to Abraham and one of the few named Dominions*. She values and does her best to protect every child and though she often loses against her complete opposite, Lilith.

* In the Christian hierarchy of angels, Dominions are part of the second sphere and are said to watch over nations and regulate the duties of lesser angels. Yes I googled. Also pls don't take all this too seriously I have done some artistic interpretations and such :3

It is with this angel as their symbol, the intent of the vampires who created the school are clear.

After all, Lilith, the enemy of Lailah is actually the mother of demons and is also regarded in legends as the mother of vampires as well.

However Lilith is also known for destruction and 'wasting the seed' of man. For the vampires who value every newborn in their clans, Lilith who is deeply associated with the killing of children, is not something they wish to associate with much less name a school after.

Not to mention, the vampires had their own folklore that made them favor Lailah over Lilith.

Even though Lilith made the first vampires they were not beautiful or intelligent or emotional, but were instead disgusting, cruel savage monsters who killed to satiate their never ending hunger for blood. Any unlucky victims who still had some life left afterwards would join their ranks.

Lailah felt great pity for the cruel monstrous vampires birthed by Lilith. They were once humans and now they were forcibly stripped of humanity and made to spread this curse.

So Lailah captured as many vampires as she could and purified them, creating the first pure bloodlines. Not only that, with her blessings they gained even greater powers and were even gifted with the power of childbirth, allowing them a semblance of true life among the dead.

Unfortunately her good deed could only do so much. Lilith was far more powerful than her and hence unless a vampire was born between two purebloods there was a chance of producing one of the original vampiric monsters. When a pureblood infects a human the human will become half pure and half monster, less controllable, weaker, no special abilities and so on.

The less pure the bloodline the higher chance of producing monsters, and over time it has become a serious problem thanks to modern media promoting free love and romanticizing vampires, planting a sense of rebellion in the newly formed vampires that weren't allowed to have children.

Jia Hyson felt that to some extent it was understandable but generally it was pretty fucking selfish of people already granted with immortality, power and long lasting beauty to still demand to be allowed to conceive given the context. A vampiric monster didn't have any special abilities but they had explosive strength and the vicious brutality of a berserker. Coupled with an insatiable appetite and no sense of empathy, isn't it better to just adopt or something?

However not everyone shares this mindset clearly. New vampires don't understand the traditions and have not grown up with their stories. To them they believe this is just an old wives tale made by snooty purebloods to encourage their offspring to not be diluted by humans like the Purebloods in a certain famous wizard story.

Besides, while many haven't seen a vampiric monster, they have heard about the benefits of producing offspring. After all, if a new vampire is be lucky enough not to make a monster and produce a pureblooded child their status in life will soar to the heavens.

The very few that succeeded in this endeavor were valued by the purebloods and this scene is what many envious new vampires saw. They didn't see or they didn't care to see the numerous aborted children or the mental anguish of the parents forced to let their own child die because it had been a vampiric monster. Sometimes they'll be news about how two new vampires who had died due to their child killing them, but there were many new vampires who chose not to believe the news or cry conspiracy.

New vampires were also disgusted by the purebloods ideology of keeping the bloodline pure. However the problem of inbreeding was the genetic abnormalities in offspring. Vampires seemed to have no such problems and every pureblood was at minimum above average in attractiveness with decent IQ. At most there were a few vampires who were born with a disability such as blindness, or being unable to move their legs but even non-inbred humans will also have this possibility.

That didn't mean everyone was marrying their sisters and brothers here. Vampires had covens spread across the world and lived for thousands of years. Meaning they had options and the ability to wait for someone to interest them.

Generally the covens will advocate foreign exchange in order to not only promote good feelings between the covens but also to encourage some vampires to marry outside and keep their gene pool fresh. After all, while the elders didn't believe it, vampires were intelligent and more or less decided to do so just in case they were wrong and the effects of their 'inbreeding' just took a longer time to take effect.

To them, even their pride cannot match against the possibility of their race being harmed due to their arrogance. It could be said that the species was actually very pragmatic and utilitarian. The overall benefits were the most important thing and their long lives generally gave them very conservative views in terms of being better safe than sorry, such as their attitude toward childbirth and vampiric monsters.

In the plot, Jessica Fang will reform some of these views somewhat by giving birth to a vampiric monster who, against all odds, keeps a sense of humanity and love thanks to Jessica's unswerving motherly love. However while there's definitely a very poignant if obvious moral there, it's clear to a lot of readers that Jessica's situation was more an exception to this rule. After all she had a vampiric prince of a husband and various handsome and intelligent supporting male leads with high statuses to help her cause.

Even then, the baby did kill her family dog and attack some robbers in this plot. Sure they were bad people who planned to rob their home and killed the babysitter, but damn, this didn't mean it wasn't a little unnerving that an infant straight up massacred a group of adult criminals. Also who the fuck leaves a normal human babysitter to watch over a vampire baby?

Bebe: 'That was Jessica's niece. Bebe doesn't blame you, it was only mentioned twice in the beginning of the chapter and they don't really bring her up again.'

Jia Hyson: '…' Lighting a candle for that poor cannonfodder.

If anyone needed a counterattack host it was Jessica's niece, damn. The baby just watched her die, and only attacked when the criminals focused on itself. And to top it off, the baby fucking drank the babysitter niece's blood at the end because the blood of the men weren't as good as a young girl's.

The author clearly wrote this to emphasize how hard it was to care for a vampiric baby and that the baby didn't attack unless it felt threatened but the way they wrote it was truly an… interesting artistic choice.

Which was a very nice way of saying the author is mentally impaired to write this and expect people to still feel that vampiric babies are okay.

Seriously, if they added some details like the babysitter niece wasn't very good or the dog was quite vicious, the baby's attack, while still gruesome and unnerving, is still palatable to the readers. However it's adamantly clear that innocent lives were spilled, and ignoring the bystander babysitter, no one likes to see a cute dog die ah. Especially one that had a decent amount of screen-time in the past.

However this problem was something for the future. Right now Jessica Fang was still barely a tween and will only grow up and transfer to St Lailah's in roughly four to five years time when Alaric and Kylan were in their last year of high school there. It would be roughly five or six years after that till the pregnancy storyline starts up. And even then Jia Hyson had to admit he felt that was still a little too early for Jessica.

Like damn, call him a conservative in this regard but it's only a year or two out of highschool and you've gone and married someone, and gotten pregnant.

Like fuck, you have your whole life to live. It doesn't matter how in love you are, marriage ain't just a piece of paper okay? And fucking use protection unless you've seriously discussed with your partner about having kids. Sure there's going to be accidents but come on, this is a world with magic vampires who occasionally produce murder babies, you would think there was some sort of potion for this sort of thing that, at the very least, the prince of vampires could access.

Ah, well, there is no need to dwell and get angry with the semantics and logical problems in the plot now. Jia Hyson had to move in to the dormitories and get everyone settled in before their high school life could start.

Not only did he have to move in himself, he had been appointed by the elders to help the other vampires of similar age who enters the school for the first time to try adapt and get comfortable. There were many elders who secretly met with Alaric and offered various benefits if he pays attention to their little bear child's more than others.

Jia Hyson: What am I? A daycare service???

Maybe the previous Alaric was too uptight and unlikeable so he had never got offered to do this but Jia Hyson who had tweaked the personality and smoothed out the edges had become the best 'other child*' in the eyes of others.

*This…. If you ever had parents you would know this meaning QwQ the 'other child' is the kid your parents will compare you to. E.g. your cousin got full marks in math, Mrs Wang's child practices piano diligently everyday, my friend's daughter can do this why can't you?

Not only does this other child have good grades but he wasn't chuuni, had a stern but gentle temperament that had a mouth that could please elders, but was straightforward enough everything came out sounding honest. Not only that he had never snuck out of the coven without permission, actively volunteered to do patrol work and actually did his due diligence, plus he hadn't gotten anyone pregnant and had no messy relationships.

As a further bonus, Alaric wasn't just mature and steady for his age, he even made the most slothful oldest prince start to work hard!!!

Did it take him over twenty years? Yes. But what was twenty years? These parents and elders were willing to wait fifty if it meant their children could stop running around and causing headaches and get their shit together faster.

Elders: In fact, if it wasn't inappropriate, we would wish we could make Alaric give the chunni parents of these chunni brats lessons as well.

The chuuni parents: …

Jia Hyson had a headache just thinking about it. Even if he has some family members of his own who are quite sensible and willing to help him, compared to himself they were just too young and inexperienced in handling so many bear children at once. At best he could throw them to some of the easier to handle ones but the harder more arrogant vampires would be put under his supervision.

Not only that but he also must take care of Prince Silas who was the most expensive and precious flower in the greenhouse*. Jia Hyson furrows his brows.

*because he's been sheltered from the outside world.

Aiyo, it was hard to be a good child when you're a vampire.

…

At the same time, in a pale, almost crystalline castle on a cliffside in the most northern point of Alaska*, a vampire awakes.

*Referencing Barrow (Utqiaġvik), it is one of the places in the world with the least amount of sunlight, and I believe the least amount in America.

Maybe because of where he slept, the vampire was paler even by vampiric standards, with skin like snow, and short curled hair that seems spun like gold he was like an ethereal angel rather than a creature of the night. It was like the world was painted with rich oils and acrylics, but only he was painted in a pale and delicate watercolour with the finest brushes.

The only thing that stood out intensely was his eyes.

One black. One silver.

As he pushes open his coffin, the head butler of the castle who had been waiting for this moment immediately provided him a small bed tray with the other's favourite meal on it. "How was you sleep your highness?" He politely murmurs, careful not to let his voice be too loud and jolt the prince's slow process as he comes out of his long slumber. "The king has requested you enter St Lailah's Academy once you awaken, in order for you to see the current situation with vampires of your generation."

The butler does not even dare to look in his direction, submissively and deferentially looking downwards as he patiently waits for an answer.

"That is fine," The blonde haired boy pauses, his silver and black eyes turning an excited bright red as he stares at the bloody human heart on his plate. He chuckles softly as he takes a knife and fork, piercing the organ and slicing it into delicate bite-sized pieces, "And I had a very nice dream."

The servant bows his head, "Very good your highness."

"It is, isn't it?"
