Loren was away for quite some time due to a mission he was tasked to accomplish on the northern borders. His mission was to build a wall of ice and cover the entire Curonian Spit in a blizzard and eventually froze the entire Curonian Lagoon. This will buy them a huge amount of time to halt the invading werewolves and let them focus on the coup d'etat and the rampaging of the weak-blooded vampires.But after he arrived home, he did not expect the news that will welcome him."Your Imperial Highness, I have come to welcome you in your return" from all the people he is looking forward to welcoming him on his arrival, Augustow--the Chief of the Royal guards took that role from everyone else.This let him think of the worst."What happened here?" instead of accepting the Chief's speech, he approached him and look into his eyes, seeking answers."Y-your Imperial Highness.." the man is too nervous to answer him.He walks passed through him and goes straight to the throne room where he shall e

[Yekaterinburg, Russia]Venicio, The Duke of Yekaterinburg welcomed Gyohiro into his secret tower is much pleased as he saw him carry on his back the fairy of ice."Finally, Gyohiro! We are now officially moving to the next phase of our plan"The weak-blooded vampire he obtained as a slave from the land of the rising sun was able to reach his expectations. No! he surpassed it. Gyohiro put down the unconscious Anastasia from an elevated platform in the middle of a glowing magic circle."W-what is this circle for, Duke?" Out of curiosity, he asked."This will help us imprison her as long as we need her to be" The Duke answered.He didn't get what he is saying, how come this will imprison her? He doesn't see any iron bars around to confine her. The Duke must have been read his facial expression and in an unusually good mood because of the arrival of this fairy which is why he explained further."The prison I am talking about is this" he pointed to his temple."You mean in her mind?" he a

A few more miles away and Beznosov's troops will now arrive in Moscow, the capital city of the Central district. Unlike the Descovick's royal guards who are signature to travel with horses, these troops traveled on foot or in carriages with their weapons or supplies. They won't get tired by walking non-stop anyway compared to humans, they just have to rest for an hour or more to refresh themselves by drinking human blood.Beznosov's men are powerful men unlike any other Loren saw in his life, these men are Vikings! Barbaric in nature and known as berserkers of war. They can't be easily killed as long as their heads are with their bodies."The Council's intel relies on the Prince of the Blood Imperial, right? The Empress said that she was informed by Vasil that I will go out and look for Anastasia, did he allow you to take me in on this mission?" Loren started a conversation since they all have been quiet for some time now during their travels."The Prince of the Blood Imperial has no

After Beznosov pinned down the enemies using his gravity, his soldiers started to kill each of the weak-blooded vampires like sheep."It seems that you are the only one left, young man" he saw Gyohiro who led these monsters from the start as the only one standing on the pile of dead bodies and pool of blood after several minutes of slaughtering."He will answer to me" he commanded his soldiers as they tried to get closer to the enemy leader.The young man looks terrified but still on guard. This is his first time seeing a weak-blooded vampire who can remain mentally stable after all this time. He took a few steps forward, and the man increased his defense, ready to defend himself whenever he attacked."You are almost like a pure-blooded vampire. Who is your master and how come he was able to create an almost perfect replica of himself?" he lifts his hand pointing at the man and casts a gravity that pulled the enemy leader to the ground."A force like that will pull an average vampire

[Elaine's POV]The whole truth has been exposed to her by Gyohiro, who is currently tied to her vines, trapped like a fly on a spider web. All he muttered was utterly new to her like telling her that she never knew her own father all this time! Her family's history versus the story Gyohiro told her is far too fictitious! How come they are the lost descendants of the progenitor who has the ability of the forbidden art? She was told that her grandparents were killed during the war between the invasion of the werewolves in Russia a long time ago. And her mother? Her mother died giving birth to her. But Gyohiro said her grandparents were killed by the executioners serving the Russian branch of the royal family and its council. And her mother was killed in front of her father, trying to protect them both. Her family suffered in the royal order of being assassinated and sacrificed to the vampires to finally end the bloodline of the descendants of the progenitor who had the forbidden art. On
