Do You Trust Me?

Lucius felt like he was in a peculiar dream as he and Dorian went to the garage, picked a most humble car that was easy to blend in with the street, and drove it past the gate.

Dorian cast an illusory spell over everyone they encountered, taking advantage of the fact that none of them were on guard of being fooled by their Crown Prince. As a result, the servants, guards, and even the head steward didn’t try to stop them or inquire where they were going and why there were no bodyguards following them. By the time they returned, they probably wouldn’t even have noticed their absence.

After several turns on the street, Lucius finally realized that for the first time since he had arrived at Eternia, he was out of the golden cage of aristocrats, servants, and guards. He relaxed a little and chortled in excitement. “I can’t believe we actually did it!”

Dorian, who was driving, pulled the corners of his mouth up. “I used to do this a lot with Silvan when I was younger. My illusory arts improved greatly because of our sneaking out routine.”

“With Silvan? I thought you two were sworn enemies.”

Dorian’s taciturnity lasted for a few moments, and before Lucius could start questioning if he had asked an inappropriate question, he said, “We are brothers, and before my mother and I were exiled, we used to be good friends as well. But then everything happened, and it changed our relationship.”

“Yeah, tell me about complicated sibling relationships.” Lucius leaned his head against the window and took in the fanciful nightlife of the ancient city. It looked almost identical to the streets of Tranta, the capital of Anthor, but with a bit more character and taste.

They arrived at the seashore at around 10:30 pm. Many shops and restaurants were decorated with splendid lights, pushing the darkness of the night away from the district. To vampires, it was like midday. Many people strolled on the silver beach, playing with beach volleyball or frisbees; swimming, sailing, and little vampires ran around screaming like regular human kids.

“What if someone recognizes us?” Lucius asked as Dorian found a parking spot.

“They won’t,” Dorian replied confidently.

“Don’t tell me you are going to hypnotize the whole beach of people.”

“No, but since no one expects to see us, I can just put a simple spell on us, and then most people won’t be able to associate us with the faces they saw on the news or the internet.” Dorian opened his palm. “Give me your hand.”

Lucius did as he was told. Dorian interlaced their fingers as he stared profoundly into Lucius’s eyes. His dark irises glistened a mesmerizing red hue, drawing Lucius into an alluring trance.

“Okay, done.” Dorian’s words finally snapped Lucius out of it, and he felt a bit bashful as he was just lost in Dorian’s gaze like a schoolboy. Lucius quickly withdrew his hand and got out of the car.

The night was clear, and the moon was full like a silver plate.
