Chapter 177 Doom Of Vampire Realm

"What are you saying?"

Medusa was unable to comprehend what he even meant by all those words. Although the succubus waited for him to complete his talk because it was wise to do. It was obvious she might get something out of his words regarding why he was doing all of that. Because the man was now behaving differently from before.

Malcolm on the other hand had not found anything which could go against Coulter. Thus he stood there with all his attention focused on him trying to figure out anything. Whereas Medusa could not contemplate why Coulter was acting that way. He suddenly felt a whole new person who was remorseful about his past deeds.

"It is not hard to contemplate, right?. Do you think I would hold onto a job which forces me to aimlessly kill people? A fieldwork where I have to neglect every gender, sex and race and just kill like a monster."

There was an utter glint of pain in his eyes which made it impossible for Medusa to ignore. But the question still remained unanswered. Coulter continued with his words and kept on speaking despite acknowledging that perhaps his little speech would not really make any difference.

She could not help herself but listen to his words carefully, which appear truthful instead of a made up story. However Medusa was not someone who would get swayed by such talk easily. But something in his voice made her trust him because nobody would lie in that case. right?

"I am tired of this work, this job which teaches us to have no remorse for killing innocent civilians."

He looked at her trying to figure out if Medusa was even paying heed to his words or not. The woman was staring at him without a blink. She was not sure how to react to the man's revelation. Medusa had seen so much in Beelzebelle but she never thought that the vampire realm would be that bad in its condition.

Medusa looked at him with sympathy, it appeared he was also a victim of a corrupted system. But then again what did he want from them? His motive was still not clear which made it evident that Coulter was hiding more than he was revealing to them. The succubus took the liberty to ask him once again.

Things were becoming complicated now, thus she did not hold back from being direct. It had already been so long that he was spouting bullshit, she could not take it anymore and confronted him curtly.

"I have been listening to all this for a long time. No doubt your storyline is good, and might get an award too."

Medusa mocked him for all the things he said, she wanted to see how far Coulter would go. It was certain that liars speak louder and get irritated easily. The provocation and disrespect of his words might bring out the truth from his mouth.

"But it still does not say what do you want from us. Why are you keeping us safe? There are so many questions unanswered, you know?"

She looked at him with a meaningful gaze making Coulter aware that she was ready and had listed them down already. The woman gave him a smile and paused for a moment before resuming.

"You are aware of our identity and also investigated Jack's murder case. And now you are keeping us here in your own house. Why are you saving us and from what?"

The succubus paused again and narrowed her eyes while looking at Coulter. The chief remained sitting there with a saddened expression.

It was significant that he knew more than Medusa and Malcolm were aware of. But how and what? What was the core reason for all that treachery which forced him to betray his own kind?

Medusa resumed again while Coulter patiently heard her bombardment of the questions. He was also ready for that, Coulter knew something like that would eventually come. The woman was not just witty but also a capable one who knew how to keenly observe stuff.

"Everything can't be so simple. Right? You exempted us from that case and were not even slightest bothered by the revelation of our identities. Come on! Do you really take us for a fool? You would not commit a crime like treachery unless the upcoming danger is bigger than this."

Coulter forced a bitter smile over his face upon acknowledging that perhaps he could trust her. Since Kayden was not home it was relatively easy for him to disclose the truth to both of them. Medusa could clearly see bitterness and hesitation in his body language. The sudden change in him kind of made her curious and worried about what he was going to say ahead.

"You sure know something which we don't. Am I right?"

Malcolm was able to pick up fear from Coulter's aura now. It made him stunned that a man like him could get terrified, but there was nothing like that in the lounge which could cast such an effect.

The woman was aware now she did not have to extort information from him. She heard Malcolm's voice in her head regarding the frightful aura coming from Coulter. Medusa saw his nod which made her unconsciously gulp at the situation. The woman had no clue what was about to come ahead.

"Yes, you are right. Your arrival in this realm was pre- told."

He disclosed to them both the first truth, the words stunned both of them because none of them was  ready to accept the fact that they were doing what fate wanted them to do. The succubus went silent for a moment with shock, whereas it was the time Mlaolm took the opportunity to keep things ongoing.

"What do you mean by that? How did you know about our arrival? How is this even possible?"

Coulter laughed softly at him and forced a bitter smile over his face. He still had the guts and courage to joke at that crucial moment. Because perhaps only he knew that the world was about to end.

Precisely the vampire kingdom was on the verge of crumbling.

"Oh whoa! Haha, you can speak? I thought you were mute. Such good news!"

He chuckled, making Malcolm infuriated upon the situation. How dare he make fun of him!? First he insulted him and now Coulter was making fun of him. It was simply not acceptable by him, but why was Medusa bearing his bullshit!?

"Get to the point, old man. How did you know about us?"

Malcolm rebuked him and reminded Coulter that he needed to stay on the topic. Medusa on the other hand clenched her fists and waited for him to resume the rest of the story. She could not understand how it was even possible.

There was no way he could see the future. He was not a seer who could know all this. Apart from those special people there was no one who could predict the future.

His expressions turned serious once again and Coulter resumed his speech. It was not easy for him to announce the death of his own kingdom. He had lived in fear and in terror each day and night while waiting for the doom. His bloodline and kingdom were now on the verge of crumbling. And there was nothing he could do at all.

"When his mother came here to meet the king with the delegation, she lost her heart to Jones and fell in love with him. We both were appointed to her as her bodyguard and guide, since Jones had a vast knowledge of the kingdom and magic he grew closer to the succubus queen and wonder heart. The delegation was kept a secret and nobody knew about this. It was also the reason why no one could recognise her when she married Jones."

Medusa and Malcolm immediately knew by 'he' whom he was referring to. It was not hard now to comprehend that Coulter knew about Kayden's mother and perhaps had already met her. Well, of course when she was alive. But it still left so many questions which were left vague.

"It was the time when we three grew friends and she got pregnant. You must be thinking about how I knew all this without being a seer. Hah! Am I right?"

Coulter looked straight at Medusa who nodded immediately, knowing that Coulter had already picked up her confusion, and was now perhaps ready to spill the whole truth.

"It was the time when she wanted to meet the vampiric seer for the safety of her child. You know it was already a miracle for two different species to produce an heir. Thus she was concerned about her child's safety. The man told us that after the arrival of the succubus queen doom will also accompany the vampire realm. It was not known to us at that time what kind of calamity would befall upon us."
