Love Agreement With The King

Chapter 252 - Potion [2]

John took a deep breath carefully walking toward Ethan who stretched his feet toward John. He kneeled down and slowly poured some drops of the liquid over Ethan's wound.

Ethan screamed in pain as soon as the liquid touched his wound and he narrowed his eyes while he endured that excruciating pain.

John let only a few drops fell over Ethan's wound as he wasn't sure about its effect and if it would work or not.

The wound seemed to absorb the liquid easily and fast but the wound didn't heal at all.

"Should I pour more drops?" John asked curving one eyebrow confused, Ethan moved his hand.

"I don't know." He replied confused staring at his wound which didn't even heal of an inch since John poured the liquid on it.

"Maybe it had expired? Or it never was a special potion?" John frowned his forehead even more puzzled when all of a sudden the wound started to heal magically, the skin regenerated in a few instants, and Ethan's foot was back to normal.

Both the brother dropped their jaws and blinked repeatedly to make sure they saw it right.

"It worked!" Ethan exclaimed joyfully and surprised at the same time.

"Your hand now." John took Ethan's hand and inclined the potion to pour few drops on his hand's wound as well. Again, Ethan had to bear the excruciating burning sensation as if his hand was ripped off.

After few minutes also his hand's wound was healed as well. John took a breath of relief as he saw his brother's body healing perfectly and his skin turn less pale as his body began to function properly again.

"We should head to the kitchen, you need some blood after your fighting," John said and Ethan giggled, he was not used to see his brother acting considerate.

John rolled his eyes at his brother's laugh and speeded toward the kitchen. He reached faster than his brother and looked at Ethan with a self-confident gaze, "I am getting faster, or are you slowing down?" John teased his brother raising an eyebrow and looking at him from head to toe, Ethan glowered at him.

"I started after you and I am still in pain, you like to win the easy way, huh?" Ethan replied giggling.

John opened the fridge and took a bottle from it heading it to Ethan who opened it and drank it all up in few sips.

Ethan's eyes flashed of their usual intense light, he placed the bottle back on the table and gazed at John defiantly.

"I'll race you now," Ethan exclaimed but John shook his head amused by his brother's competitive behavior.

One of the maids walked toward the kitchen and when he saw Ethan she blushed, she couldn't even bear his gaze on her or keep eye touch with him. Her reaction didn't go unnoticed by John who raised his eyebrow and smirked slightly, "do you need anything?" John called the maid who hastily had turned around to head out of the room as soon as she saw Ethan was there.

The woman hearing John's voice halted, "no, I just wanted to make sure you were fine." She replied all in a breath and left the room in few seconds.

"She was fast, is she ..." Ethan frowned his forehead pointing at the maid and John intervened, "yes, she's a vampire and I had never seen her embarrassed before. She must be facing you." John smirked causing Ethan to open his eyes widely and then shook his head vigorously as he moved his fingers to say no.

"I'm done with your jokes, John." Ethan knitted his eyebrows down, he glowered at his brother.

John called the maid back in, "Anne, I want to introduce you to my brother Ethan." John said pointing at Ethan, the maid slowly looked up to Ethan and blushed once again only to flinch away awkwardly, John mouthed to his brother "see!??"

"Y-Y-Your brother?" the girl asked shyly and still embarrassed.

"Yes, it's a long story." John scratched his hand as he had forgotten she thought he was the only child.

"I noticed… I noticed you two are very much alike." The maid said slowly traveling her gaze back to Ethan who, since he had never talked to a woman before, limited himself to remain quiet. He didn't know what to say either did he recognize when a woman was into him since he had never interacted with them in that way.

"Ethan, she's Anne. She's a good old friend of mine. You can maybe practice your powers together." John said winking at his brother who didn't get his hint and remained quiet instead.

"Yes..." the woman's murmured, "I haven't been practicing in years."

"Perfect then, what about tomorrow? Lunchtime?" John asked gazing at both of them, Ethan kept staring at John confused and angry while the maid nodded, "sounds good. Bye then..." she whispered before she rushed outside of the room.

"What was that?" Ethan complained scoffing.

"You should thank me, that was me arranging you a date," John said opening the fridge and taking a bottle of wine to drink from it.

"I've never asked you to. I don't even know how to behave." Ethan massaged his forehead as he shut his eyes closed in disbelief.

"You had never …?" John gestured with his hands and Ethan shook his head no.

"You've missed out, trust me you will thank me," John said as the smirk on his face got wider.

Ethan shook his head in disdain and stole the wine bottle from John's hands to drink from it.

"We should go back to the castle then," John said and Ethan nodded almost revealed to hear his torture of talking about matters he would rather not talk about was finally done.

As soon as they closed the door behind them John looked at Ethan raising his eyebrow, "ready to race?" John asked defiantly and self-confident.

They both charged and when John screamed "go!" they both speeded toward the castle.
