“Tsk! You are talking like you have already defeated him. If he could come unscathed with more than a dozen knights attacking at him at once with the metal that could pierce his skin, how could you win against him when you would be the one fighting alone?
What if he refused to fight with you in the first place?” there was a hint of sarcasm in the voice as if the person was sure that Rafael was going to win.
“Ha! It is customary to show their strength and have a friendly match on the annual day. He was invited here to celebrate with us.
We can always tell him that it is compulsory for him to fight to represent his empire since he was the only one present here among vampires.
And it is not just a tip, but my whole sword is made up of beryllium and so is my knight’s.
I will make sure that he will die right there even if I have to add a lot of witch poison on the tip. There is no way that i am going to let that monster leave unscathed after taking so much trouble in calling him there.” Everyone laughed as if they had already anticipated Rafael.
He had thought that they had already assessed his strength and would make better plans for killing him. Who would have thought that they would still depend on Beryllium thinking it would be enough to make him weak.
Should he just go in and kill all of them at once with the way it looks like a human had done and end all the hassle right there.
“By the way, brother. Why do I feel that you are interested in that filthy girl?” Just when Rafael was taking a step forward to open the door, his steps halted with a foreboding feeling in his heart.
“She spiked my interest since I have always remembered her as a dim eyes girl who looked too pathetic. Even her presence feels like a huge burden was added to your chest.
But have you seen her today? Her eyes were so domineering while her lips were curled into a cold smile.
I wonder how it will feel when she cries in front of everyone when her so-called supportive husband dies.
She would be a good toy to play with.” Rafael’s fangs came out instinctively when he heard them laughing viciously.
How could these bunch of rodents be called a family? He felt the rage burning in his heart that could kill all of them at once but he stopped when he remembered how he had insulted her.
If he would kill them then and there, he would never feel satisfied. He wanted to kill them in front of everyone like they had planned so that they could feel their true defeat.
“Hmm, but i still feel it gross to have my sister as my toy even if she is half sister. I would rather go and have fun with my lover.” the other rejected as if Hazel was pleading them to take her as their playmate.
“Hmm, I never said that I would share. But before that we have to convince that fool that she would be better with us than those vampires.
Who knew what she would do once she was left alone!” There was a hint of warning in his voice that made Rafael think why were they worried about Hazel when she could be easily subdued.
“Hmm, I will inform my father about it. He had taken care of her for two decades. I am sure he had his ways. But for now, we need to keep an eye on the supply of Beryllium.
We should always prepare an army as the backup plan.” Rafael could not hear a voice after that as if everyone was into deep silence but he did not hear the sound of footsteps.
A few minutes passed yet no voice came out. With confusion, he opened the door a bit to see what was happening but a frown formed on his face and he opened the door abruptly.
But to his surprise no one was in. The room was too dark and full of dust. There was no sitting arrangement where these kind of arrogant nobles could sit, making him confused.
As if all he heard was nothing but an illusion but how could that be? He looked around and sniffed the area but there was no smell of humans nearby.
He checked the room and pressed all the portraits and statues but nothing happened as if he had received a dead end.
Just when he was about to walk back, he heard the sound of water. With a frown he looked around only to find the roof opening and water pouring in like a strong storm and tsunami entered together.
The speed of the water was so strong. He turned to leave from the same door only to find him closer again and he chuckled.
Did they think they could kill him with water? How foolish! He kicked the door hard and it broke into pieces falling on the ground but to his surprise it was raining there too.
This could not be normal rain, that means they even have witches working for them.
“And here I thought that I got rid of all of them.” He could not explain why but he feels wherever he goes and whatever he does, he only finds witches around him.
This could not be just a coincidence. It only means they are working with humans to wage a war against vampires. But even though he was stronger, he did not want to start another war soon. The water continued to gain speed and he could already feel himself struggling to walk forward. The water had already reached around his waist and it was only a matter of time before his head would be under the water too.
He continued to break the doors but it was not enough for him to go out when he heard a strange voice.
“Come here, Rafi!”
