'Hmm, I can't help but wonder about something.' Aster uttered in his thoughts as he strolled down the long corridor alone.
'If mother can see and view things over long distances due to her dragon eyes, I wonder if she would usually sit on her throne and simply watch over her kingdom.'
'I bet she would totally look like a deity, surveilling over her people.'
'That would be so cool and I can't wait to have a similar range of view as well.'
'Oh well, just as she said today, there's no need for me to rush things.'
'For now, I just want to enjoy my second chance of life and the abilities I've acquired so far.' Aster concluded as he continued to walk down the corridor.
However, while doing so, Aster couldn't help but notice something very important.
'Hmm, it doesn't seem like there's guards or knights in this castle.'
'Is this really a good thing?'
'I know the dragon queen doesn't need one to protect her due to how strong she is but won't it be better to at least have soldiers of her own?'
'I guess I'll have to ask her later.'
Aster decided to put a close on that topic for now and simply enjoy his stroll along the castle corridor.
But while he was doing this, Aster suddenly noticed an opened door leading to a room he hadn't been to before.
He slowly approached the room before poking his head in to check out what was inside and his eyes widened in surprise when he noticed Lily resting her head on Cara's lap.
The little dragon seemed so peaceful and relaxed as Cara continued to stroke her head gently.
It was strange to see someone, other than their mother, capable of allowing another person to feel so relaxed and calm simply by being close to them.
'I thought only dragons should be able to do this, due to their dragon scent.'
'So, does this mean anyone can do this?'
'Or is Cara using something similar to Dragon Scent?' Aster wondered as he pondered about this.
In the end, he decided to activate his dragon eyes, hoping he would be able to find a reason as to why this was happening, and the moment he activated his dragon eyes, Aster was able to see a thin white gaseous tendril, slithering from the tip of Cara's fingers.
Then, it slowly twirls around the little girl, allowing her to feel so relaxed and euphoric.
Aster returned his eyes back to normal, but then Cara had noticed his presence and a smile graced her lips as she called out to him. "Your Highness, would you like to join us?"
Hearing this, Lily instantly opened her eyes and she smiled and beckoned for him to join her. "Come big brother. This feels so good, you should come and try it too."
Aster slowly walked in to the room.
He noticed Cara and Lily were currently sitting on a long bench which seemed similar to the ones found in a park.
And currently, Lily slept on the left side of the bench while her head rested on Cara's left lap, but now, Cara patted her right lap, expecting Aster to rest his head on it as well.
Aster did exactly as she wanted, so he raised his legs and placed them in a sleeping position on the right side of the bench while his head rested comfortably on Cara's right lap.
Surprisingly, Cara's right lap was extremely soft and comfortable to rest on.
Despite being a ghost, her body was solid enough for Aster to rest his head on due to the fact that she was also a banshee as well.
However, he could certainly feel how cold her lap was but it was still a pleasant sensation for him, especially since Cara's flowery scent wafted into his nostrils as well.
And so, with his head rested on her lap, Cara slowly began to stroke his crimson colored hair and five long tendrils of pure spiritual energy flowed out of her fingertips to swirl and wrap around Aster's body, allowing him to feel extremely relaxed and happy.
The sensation was definitely soothing, comforting and satisfying, but in the end, it wasn't really as amazing as that of Vivian's.
But still, it was good enough to be compared to that of his mother.
Pushing this thought aside for now, Aster simply decided to close his eyes and enjoy the cold, relaxing feeling circling around him right now.
"So big brother? What do you think? It's good right?"
"Yeah, it is Lily. Thank you."
"Hehehe..... you're welcome but I think we should thank Cara too."
"Yeah, you're right. Thank you Cara."
"You're welcome, Your Highness." Cara replied with a smile and simply continued to do what she was doing, causing Aster to sigh even more in content.
*Fuaah!!!*
'This is really good.' He uttered in his thoughts before recalling something very important.
And so, he called out while his eyes were still closed. "Cara?"
"Yes, Your Highness?"
"Where's Sara?" Although he was glad she wasn't here right now, but Aster couldn't help but wonder where that scary banshee would be right now.
"I believe she's still doing her chores, Your Highness. If you'd like, I can summon her here to...".
"NO, there's no need for that. I don't want to bother her while she's working. Okay?" For a split second, Aster's heart skipped a few beats the moment he heard Cara wanted to bring Sara over here.
He didn't want that scary-looking banshee here right now because if she was, there was no way he could possibly enjoy what Cara was doing to him.
"Okay, Your Highness, I understand." Cara replied with a knowing smile before simply continuing to comfort her dragon prince and Aster couldn't help but feel even more relaxed and satisfied.
Though Sara and Cara looked extremely similar in appearance, stature, beauty and curves cause they were identical twins so it totally made sense to him.
However, despite being identical, Aster had found a way to easily identify the slight difference between the two of them.
Unlike Cara, who seemed like a cute and calm banshee having a vibe and atmosphere of an elder sister around her, Sara, on the other hand, was more like a wild predator who simply didn't want to let go of her prey.
In other words, she didn't want anyone getting near to her precious meal, who happened to be Aster, in this scenario.
Of course, Aster knew that Sara would never do anything to harm him, still he couldn't brush off the feeling that Sara was currently acting like a predator who knew she can't touch her prey, due to the apex predator in the same room with her, so she had no choice but to play with her meal, while also warding away anyone else who would try to get close to him.
In a simpler term, it seemed like she was simply staying close to him, hoping a time would come to finally feast on him.
While thinking about this, a cold and creepy feeling slithered down his spine and Aster felt goosebumps crawling along his skin.
He swiftly decided to push these thoughts away but he simply can't stop thinking about her.
And the reason why he had become even more worried about Sara was simply because, despite having acquired his new trait {Dragon Scent}, the trait turned out to be useless because Sara could not only smell his physical scent, she could also smell his soul as well and his soul definitely smelled like what a human would.
In other words, he was still the same yummy, prince Sara simply can't get her eyes off.
*Sigh*
'What have I gotten myself into now.' Aster sighed softly as he tried not to think too much about it.
Time passed and once Aster was satisfied with the relaxing sensation Cara had allowed him to experience, he stood up and thanked Cara before stepping out of the room.
However, upon stepping out of the room, Aster's eyes widened in surprise when he noticed a certain beautiful banshee with a sad look on her face, crouching down near the entrance after seeing how Aster had bonded well with her sister and not her.
