90 Antisocial bratty king

"What are you doing?" Sung Na-Mi grabs her brother's ear. "Have you gone insane?"

"I am the older one." Sung Se-Yong struggles to get free. Why heavenly beings are always stronger than demonic beings? That's not all. Why is their sister a heavenly blessed immortal? "Don't tear off my ear."

"It will grow again." She smirks at him, "I should dig out that tongue too."

"Sung Na-Mi, I will tell mother that you are beating me up again," He bellows.

"Mother isn't here." She should chop his ears today. "Why did you speak in such an offending way? Will they ever come down? What will we do now if they ignore us more? Whenever I ask you to help me, you turn it into a bigger mess."

Se-Yong hisses in pain. "I am a demon. I can't turn a mess into a lesser mess."

"Then, don't get involved in my mess." Na-Mi pulls his hair hard. "If you ever make it a mess, I am going to summon heavenly lightenings on you."

Se-Yong: "Na-Mi, if you do that, I will tell father that you are misusing your powers."

Na-Mi: "I will tell him what you did in his absence." 

Se-Yong: "What did I do? I helped you. They will come out."

Na-Mi: "They will come out to beat our butts."

Se-Yong looks at her with a grave expression. "Na-Mi, we both know that they can't beat us." 

"I will beat up your butt today, Oppa." She cracks her knuckles, ready to summon the lightenings. "I should burn it to crisp."

"Don't even think about it." He widens his eyes in shock. 

The siblings don't notice two men watching them from a distance. Fu Sheng exhales in exasperation. With long dark copper hair and willowy figure, the girl doesn't look older than twenty. 

"Do they choose anyone as the council head these days?" Fu Sheng asks Aiken.

Aiken replies to him, "From what I heard, she's not bad. She has heaven's blessing like her father." 

"Is that so?" Receiving heaven's blessing is rare. In his lifetime, he has seen only five people with heaven's blessings. Na-Mi is one of them. He has to see what kind of person she is. Right now, she seems a little girl who hasn't seen any hardship under the shelter of her nine brothers and powerful parents. 

"Oh..." Se-Yong sees the two vampires standing tall on the surface of the water. He blinks his eyes. Why didn't he sense them? The shorter man is wearing glasses. He is looking at them with a poker face. Se-Yong can't guess what's going inside that man. He looks at the taller man beside him. The tall man is watching his sister with an unreadable expression. From his detached aura, he can tell who he is.

Se-Yong murmurs,  "The King is here."

Her father told her that the vampire king's actions might seem cruel, but he did it because he had no choice. He was protecting his people. The way her father talked about him, she could tell that her father wanted to make things right for the purebloods. Her uncle, the previous council head, often tried to improve the relationship between the council and the purebloods, but there was always silence from the purebloods' side.

Even if the world is screwed up right now, she will take this opportunity to improve things between the purebloods and the council. She opens her mouth to greet the king.

"Na-Mi, it worked." Se-Yong's mocking voice interrupts her. "The antisocial bratty king has descended from his castle to shower us with his overrated looks."

Na-Mi's face doesn't show it, but her heart breaks into half. They are done now. The purebloods are emotional and moody. Why can't her brother keep his mouth shut for a moment?

Fu-Sheng narrows his eyes on the man. Should he tear this demon apart or send him to his prison? There are many ways to make him regret his words. 

"Oye, Vampire King!" Se-Yong wants to pick on the brooding king. Otherwise, he can't keep it inside him. "I heard that you are more than four thousand years old. How does it feel to be extremely old in a young body? Do you tell your age to women after you sleep with them? I think that they will--"

Na-Mi covers his mouth. "If you say one more thing, I will erase your existence."

"Mhmmmmmmm!!!" Se-Yong grasps her hand on his mouth, trying to pull it away. But, she excels when it comes to strength. Na-Mi looks at the King. "My apologies, my brother is not sane."

Fu Sheng doesn't reply. The demon looks sane enough. 

There's an awkward silence. Na-Mi wonders what should she say to the beautiful king. Beautiful men are her weakness. She has set a very high bar for beauty because of her father. Fu Sheng's beauty nearly meets her father's level. She is aware of the fact that she is a little partial toward her father. 

What should she do? Whenever she looks straight at those eyes, her mind turns blank. She wants to take a picture with him.

"President Sung, why are you here?" Aiken's voice snaps her out of her daze. She loosens her grip over Se-Yong's mouth.

He gets out of her hold and exclaims, "Na-Mi, you can't fall for another man who is bad for you."

Fu Sheng grimaces at the demon. What kind of nonsense he is spitting out?

Na-Mi does have a history of falling for beautiful men. However, her history was worse than the state of the world. She has nine demon brothers and her father is the most feared man in the supernatural world. Even the god of death is afraid of her father. Then, her mother is a demonic goddess. Her cousin is married to the god of time. Her cousin is a mafia lord in both the human and supernatural worlds. She's the youngest one in her generation. Though she has been pampered the most, nothing comes without a price. No man would approach her because of her family.

"Your majesty, my brother doesn't have a brain in his skull. I am pretty sure that he dropped it in hell." Na-Mi lets out a nervous laugh. Men aren't important right now. She has to fix the flow of energy in this world. Her parents and brothers are stuck in different realms. "I need your help with the current situation."

"Why should I help the council?" Fu Sheng doesn't beat around the bush. 

"Because this world is also your world now." Sung Na-Mi tells him with a clear voice, "Your ancestors might have come from another world, but you have made a home for yourself in this world. If this world is gone, you also don't have any place. You cannot escape from this world because all the gates are closed. The king is wise enough to know what's best for him."

His sister is serious now. Se-Yong has a ghost of a smile on his lips, but his eyes are alert. He can't trust these unstable creatures. 

Fu Sheng is willing, but he also needs something else. He walks in her direction. Se-Yong steps in front of her, covering half of her body from the king's vision. Fu Sheng has stopped caring about other's opinions a long time ago. It's natural that Se-Yong is protective of his sister.

He crosses the barrier and stops about two meters away from him. "I don't want to help the council." 

Na-Mi narrows her eyes. Are they going to be stubborn till the end? She might have a soft corner for beautiful men, but she won't hesitate to strike them with lightenings if the situation asks for it.
