161 Chapter 161: The Drop of Blood

Avery and Jasmin kept an eye on Devin to see if he was joking. As she looked at Devin, Avery frowned. He looked like he was thinking and had a grave face, but since Devin was gagging, Avery didn’t believe what he was saying. How will Alex turn into one? But could Alex really be a vampire?

“Can that happen?” Jasmin asked out of the blue. “Alex is not a vampire.”

“But he did attack you, right?” Devin said. “He drank your blood,”

“If it drinks blood, does it turn into a vampire?” Jasmin asked.

“What do you think a demon will do?” Devin asked. “Alex can’t turn into a vampire because the previous queen was a vampire.”

“What?” Avery said with surprise. “The mother of Sir Reed is a vampire?”

“This is what makes him strong. Uncle is from the elite demon clan, and Auntie is a princess from the elite vampire clan.”

The two of them looked at each other. Devin got up and walked over to Eldron.

“Is Sir Devin telling the truth?” Avery asked Jasmin.

.....

“I can’t say for sure, but it’s as true as it gets,” Avery told me.

“Does that mean I’ll also turn into a vampire since Alex drank my blood?”

“Silly! He didn’t bite you. Also, do you really think he’s a vampire?”

“How do we know?”

Both of them looked at Devin as he talked to Eldron.

—

“How do you feel, uncle?”

Eldron inhaled deeply. Devin tells Eldron what might be causing Alex to grow up so quickly. Eldron’s wife is a vampire from the elite clan. Reed is strong because he got his mother’s powers as a vampire and because he is an elite from the royal demon clan. Even though Reed was half vampire, he couldn’t get his mother to drink blood. But what if Alex’s wife gave him that power?

“I hope not, Devin. If that happens, I might think Alex is a threat to all of us,” Eldron said.

“The mages must know that, right?” Devin asked. “If Alex’s blood is studied?”

“That’s something we need to tell Reed. He is the only one who can decide what Alex should do.”

“If I make the suggestion, he will definitely be mad at me, leading to a misunderstanding between us,” Devin said.

“I’ll look after Reed.” He looked at Devin. “I’m going back to the realm, and I want you, Devin, to help him here.”

Devin smirked. “Looks like I’ll be babysitting again.”

Eldron smirked. “Uncle, I’m going home. Emy hasn’t wanted to see me here for a long time. If she sees me again, she might get angry. Devin said.

Eldron nodded. Devin got up and walked out the door. He took a deep breath and turned to face his soldier.

“Where is the person, the Jasmin girl?” Eldron asked the man in uniform.

“My king, he’s outside.”

Eldron went outside. He saw Jasmin talking on the phone to someone in the garden.

“Leave us alone,” Eldron said, not looking at his soldier. The soldier quickly left.

Eldron waited until Jasmin was done talking about something Eldron didn’t understand. He was looking at it, but he couldn’t wait any longer. Eldron put up his hand to make black smoke come out, but nothing happened. He forgot that Reed had used a shield, which meant that none of his powers would work there.

‘I wonder if even Alex’s power won’t work here.’

Jasmin went straight to Eldron when she thought he was waiting for her, even though she didn’t know why. After taking a deep breath, he put the phone in the back pocket of his pants.

“Uhm, do you need something from me?” Jasmin asked.

“Yes,” Eldron said. “Can you talk now?”

“Yes.”

“Be careful the next time, young lady. Someone as important as me can’t be served by just one person, do you get it?”

Even though Jasmin disagreed with the old man’s words, she gave him a nod.

“What do you need?”

“I want to give you something,” Eldron said. “Take a drop of blood from Alex,” I told you.

“What should I do? Also, why do I have to take Alex’s blood?”

“Because I asked for it, girl.”

“I’ll just tell Sir Reed you need a...”

“Don’t tell him that. You can’t say anything to him.”

“But if I hurt Alex, Miss Emy and Sir Reed will be mad at me.”

“You won’t hurt him; all you’re going to do is draw blood.”

“I won’t get blood if I don’t hurt him.”

“Man, you’re down on yourself. One drop of blood is too much for you? What can an individual do?” Eldron asked. “As far as I know, people are even more demons than we demons who were born that way.”

“I can’t be mean to Alex. I can’t do what you want.”

Eldron looked at Jasmin as she started to walk. “You don’t realize what you’re turning down.”

“I don’t think you know your son or his wife,” the man said. Jasmin said. “If you’re as strong as you tell me you are, you can do whatever you want. I think you’ll be able to do it easier than I will.”

Eldron was shocked by the way Jasmin treated him. Jasmin walked up to the door and went inside.

—

As Jasmin walked into the house, she gasped. He took a quick look at Eldron through the window.

‘Haist Sir Reed’s father is also full of himself. After being rude to me, I will be told what to do. Hmm! We have a different king, and it’s not you.’

“Where are you going?”

When Avery spoke out of the blue from behind Jasmin, she was surprised. He held his chest tight. He could feel his heart racing.

Avery gave him a small laugh. “What’s going on? Why do you think that?”

Jasmin looked again out the window, but Eldron was no longer there. Avery was quickly pulled up the stairs by Jasmin.

“Jasmin, hold on. What you’re doing is going to shock me.”

“Quickly...” Avery was pulled by Jasmin until they got into the room.

Avery was almost knocked down when Jasmin pushed her into the room. As soon as Jasmin walked in, he closed and locked the door. This caught Avery’s eye.

“Jasmin, do you need help?”

Jasmin pulled Avery back to the bed and made her sit down. “After Sir Reed rudely insulted me, his father is making me do something.”

“You thought I was rude? Why? “What did they say to you?”

“To insult them, it’s as if people who were born devils are even worse than them. Then he brags about being from a rich family.”

“He just wants to scare you. What is he trying to get you to do?”

“He wants me to draw Alex’s blood.”

“What? Why?”

“I really don’t know. Eldron just told me to take a drop of blood from Alex.”

Avery had an idea. “What did you say?”

“Well, I just said that if he’s as powerful as he says Eldron is, Eldron didn’t take it, so why would he tell me what to do?”

Avery was happy. “Tell me what you think,” Avery told me.

“Must I tell Sir Reed this? Maybe they’ll both feel sorry for me, and it will be because of me.”

“For me, just let it go. You were told what to do, but you didn’t. “Maybe that’s all right.”

Jasmin nodded. “Avery, why do you think Sir Reed’s dad needs Alex’s blood?”

Even though Avery didn’t say anything, she thought about it. Devin and Eldron were talking earlier.

“Could that have been Sir Devin’s idea? Why does Eldron need blood?’

–

Emy, on the other hand, went to sleep after crying. Reed put Emy down carefully next to Alex and then kissed her. When Reed heard Avery and Jasmin talking in the other room, he took a deep breath. He made a sad face and left the room right away to go to them in his room.

Reed knocked on the door several times, but neither Avery nor Jasmin answered, so he said hello.

“Avery or Jasmin, please open the door. I know you’re in there.”

.....

They both looked at each other. Jasmin doesn’t open the door because she thinks Reed is pretending to be her father. Avery got up and opened the door because of this.

As soon as Avery opened the door, Reed walked in, and Avery shut the door.

“Why does my dad need blood from Alex?”

Jasmin was shocked when Reed told her that. “How did you know it was Sir Reed?”

“Tell me what you and my dad talked about,” Reed said. “Did he explain why he needed the blood of my son?”

Jasmin shook her head. She doesn’t want to answer my question, Sir. The truth is that he insulted me for being a person.”

Reed inhaled deeply. “Don’t listen to what my dad said.”

“Sir, Sir Devin told me that your mother is a vampire. Is that true?” Avery told me.

“Yeah,” Reed said. “Why did he have to say all that to her?”

“Alex’s sudden growth could be related to the fact that he is a vampire. He also drank Jasmin’s blood, which was another thing he did. He thinks that might be why.”

“Did he say this to my dad?” Reed inquired.

Avery nodded. “I was sure.”

“But Sir, Sir Devin seems to want to help. Even he is bothered by how quickly Alex has grown.

Reed just looked at Jasmin without saying anything.
