In the Lady's Changing Room, Stella went inside. Another woman entered the next room. It was Victoria. The two started conversing with each other.
"How is it?" Victoria was the one who opened up the conversation.
"Everything is going well according to our plan, Lady Victoria. They believed that I was their missing daughter." Stella responded to her while trying out the dress chosen by Serena.
"Good. I can see that you win Selene's trust right away. She is very fond of you." A chilly glint flashed through Victoria's eyes as she mentioned Selene's name. She recalled how Kira fought for that woman, disregarding the opinions of the elder vampires.
She was still enraged whenever she would remember that Kira chose Selene over her, despite the advice of the elder vampires.
"Serena… that's her name now," Stella emphasized to her.
Victoria just sneered upon hearing that. "Even though she changed her name, she was still the same woman who betrayed the previous Vampire King."
Stella's eyes lit up at the mention of Vampire King. She was also here to relay important information to Victoria regarding the former Vampire King.
"Lady Victoria, there is something I need to tell you. But I only want to share this with you as this is not yet confirmed."
Victoria raised her eyebrow, just listening to Stella. With her tone, Victoria could tell that this was a serious matter. Sending her was a great strategy to spy on the werewolves, especially the Silvano Clan.
"Go ahead. Just tell me," Victoria said, urging her to speak up.
"I overheard that Dominique Silvano found someone who looked exactly like our former Vampire King. He suspected that Kira Alaric had been resurrected!"
Victoria was taken aback when she heard that. She was not able to utter a single word for several seconds. Her mind was still absorbing Stella's information.
'Kira Alaric… is there a possibility that he is alive?' Victoria clenched her fists while grinding her teeth. She didn't know if she was angry knowing that Kira might be alive.
"Who is that person? Where can I find him?" Victoria finally found her voice.
"I don't have enough details about his whereabouts. But rest assured that I will do my best to monitor Dominique's action. He already assigned his general, Cedric Morgan, to look into the man's background. He is now investigating the real identity of that man."
Stella didn't mention Dylan, the werewolf prince as she didn't want him to get involved with this war. He was a good werewolf who never hurt a vampire like her. As much as possible, she wanted to protect him against the vampires.
In fact, she only asked Victoria for one favor and that was not to touch or hurt Dylan, the werewolf prince. She volunteered to do this risky task for this main reason.
"Okay. I will also assign someone to dig for more information about this man who looks like Kira. I want to see him face to face. If possible, I will be the one to confirm his identity. The only thing I will ask you is that… Make sure not to mention this to Raizel."
Victoria knew how close Raizel was to Kira. Raizel was the new Head of the Vampire Clan. She didn't want Raizel to waver or step down just because Kira might still be alive.
"Yes, Lady Victoria. I will never mention this to General Raizel," Stella promptly responded, reassuring her.
"By the way, until when Dominique and Serena will be staying in this world? Do you know about their plan?" Victoria brought the topic back to the Werewolf King and Werewolf Queen.
"They are very concerned about my safety so they planned on bringing me back to Kingdom Phantasia within a week."
Victoria frowned when she heard that. It would be hard to attack and eliminate Dominique once he returned to Kingdom Phantasia. Stella was not that powerful enough to kill him.
"Can you do something about it? Convince them to stay for another three weeks. By that time, we are done with our preparation. We will kill Dominique Silvano within that time frame." There was so much conviction in her words.
"I got it, Lady Victoria. I will do my best to convince them. I think they will give in to any request that I will ask from them. They have to make it up for their missing daughter. I think they will listen to my wishes." Stella was confident that she would succeed in convincing Dominique and Serena to stay longer in this human world.
"Is there anything more that you want to inform me about?" Victoria asked her again. She could hear footsteps coming in. She guessed that it was Serena who was approaching the Changing Room.
"No more… my Lady. I will just contact you once I get other newsworthy and important information from them. For now, I will focus on gaining their trust and finding their weakness."
Stella was done putting on all the dresses. She also sensed Serena's presence. She knew that they had to stop talking and exchanging information. Serena might hear them.
"Before you leave… I just want to tell you. Always be careful… Beatrice…" Victoria called Stella's real name. She was Beatrice… Dylan's vampire slave whom he left in the Kingdom Phantasia.
Beatrice sneaked into the human world one week after Dylan left the Kingdom Phantasia. She wanted to follow him but she met Victoria and her vampire soldiers.
Victoria convinced Beatrice not to go back to Kingdom Phantasia as she saw her usefulness. She found out that Beatrice had been serving the Silvano Clan and the werewolf prince for a long time.
This was the reason Victoria learned about Princess Stella. With the help of Beatrice, they were able to pull it off as Beatrice was the only vampire who knew about the same birthmark of Dylan and Stella.
Aside from that, Stella had this kind of special vampire ability. She was good at imitating someone. She could transform herself and change her look, body and image. This was necessary in pretending to be the missing werewolf princess.
