Anti-Sucker

Chapter 15: Claudius's Revenge

Twice a year, every royal family is required to conduct a royal ball and the Van Helsings are no exception. This year's event is to celebrate the firstborn princess's 118th birthday. And everyone has gathered since this is a big day after all.

Claudius, young as he is, rushed towards the man in a gray suit.

"Brother, brother! I've found you!" He called and the man turned around.

"Oh Claudius, there you are! Is father here?"

The boy nodded, "Yes, he went to greet King Helsing."

The male vampire chuckled and patted his head.

Young Claudius was about to say something when Calcifer came and approached his brother.

"It's time." He said and then the vampire turned to Claudius.

"I'm sorry, I'll be back after the dance." He smiled and went towards the center of the hall.

Young Claudius felt sad. He was always disregarded ever since his brother had a fiancee.

Because of her, his time with his brother was no more. He seldom sees him in their castle. He always visits her more than him, his own flesh and blood. And now, as much as he hated going to parties, this is the only chance he can meet his brother again.

Young Claudius clenched his fist. He wanted to meet his brother's fiancee. The girl who took his brother away from him.

"There she goes!" The people whispered as the doors went open.

Holding the arm of King Van Helsing, a girl wearing a red gown stepped forward to meet her fiancé.

Everyone was astounded by her beauty including Claudius.

"We present to you, our débutante for tonight, the first princess of Van Helsing: Princess Astrid Renfield Van Helsing!"

Everyone clapped as they watched them danced.

"Aren't they perfect for each other?"

"Princess Astrid sure has a beauty like a goddess!"

These are the murmurs around. But young Claudius's focus suddenly switched to the most beautiful lady he has ever seen.

The princess's long white hair that's swaying softly as she twirls, her fair white skin like porcelain, her emerald green eyes, and her cherry lips matched her sweetest smile.

And that, for sure, a night he won't forget.

"Hmm... this is going to be interesting," Damien smirked as he was sitting upside down from the ceiling while filming the stage.

Claudius cannot be seen from the video, but Rae is visible even in his vampire form.

"Now I know why he chose to be a theater actor in this world." He mumbled.

"I am... Claudius Tepes Alucard, the second prince, son of King Alucard!"

Rae flicked his tongue, "Like the hell I care!" He ran towards Claudius, but even with such speed, he managed to block his punch.

"Your fist can never reach me." He smirked and suddenly, Rae was thrown by a strong force that made him hit the wall.

"Young master!" Calcifer was about to rush towards Rae when he suddenly noticed the presence of vampires lurking around the room.

They're blending with the humans. They're many, maybe one-fourth of the room's population are vampires!

"Rin, now!" At his signal, Rin burst out her sleeping dust all around the auditorium.
