"Navi! Navi, where are you?"
In the middle of the palace garden, a young dhampir prince peeked left and right from behind a bush, his mischievous eyes sparkling with excitement. He pressed a hand over his mouth to hide his giggles, crouching lower beneath the leaves.
He was hiding from his mother so he could surprise him later.
"Oh no, what should I do? I was only looking at the lake for a second, and he disappeared." The queen looked utterly helpless as he searched around the garden.
Soon, a brownish-red-haired dhampir quietly wrapped his arms around him from behind.
"This is our first picnic in a while. Maybe he got too excited."
The current vampire king—also a dhampir—spoke softly while calming his queen. He pressed kisses against Sylene's cheek and near his eyes with shameless ease.
The queen immediately tried to block him, already looking embarrassed.
"Could you stop? There are others around... and what if Navi sees us? He's still too young..."
