Without knowing how many minutes had passed, Ansel slowly got up from the chair with a yawn. He had initially thought several patients would swim in to get medical attention right after the man left But in the last few minutes, he hadn't gotten any patient walk in like they do in the medical office back in the Castillo group. Ansel went ahead to check the drawers in her office. For a second, he paused to check his reflection. Fortunately, he was still looking like Dr Elara. The body and soul swap had indeed worked and it would last for two days. The drawers required a passcode to open and Ansel tried checking if he could use his fingerprint. However, it required a code and without one of the codes,he could not get access to it. This particular drawer had gotten his attention because it was labeled IMPORTANT. He gazed around him and scanned the room for any probability of seeing a clue. To his dismay, the medical facility was as boring as its smell. Her handbag
★★★On the balcony.Just as Master Luca raised his hand to knock, a guard hurried over with a tense expression on his face. "Master Luca, the king requests your immediate presence in the meeting room."Luca hesitated, his mind racing with possibilities. What could Atris want now? After a brief moment, he nodded curtly. "Very well."The guard gestured for Luca to follow, and two additional guards fell in to step beside him, escorting him to the meeting room.As they entered, the room fell silent as Luca's presence commanded attention.The elders seated around the table sensed his formidable aura and turned to face him to confirm their suspicion.It was indeed Luca.Their eyes widened, and they bowed their heads in unison, afraid to look him straight in the eyes and offend the most powerful person they had ever met."Brother Luca," King Atris acknowledged in a respectful tone as he gazed up to see Luca standing in front of the guards. He gestured for Luca to take a seat.Luca's piercing
"You want us to vote?" This time around, he directed his question to King Atris.Atris reluctantly nodded his head.As much as he saw Luca as his big brother, he also felt some of his actions were disrespectful to him and the elders.He had always been a rebel and King Atris knew Lucas cared less about what they thought because of his powerful status."All those in favor of humans should raise their hands up."The room became quiet and no one did, except Luca who confidently raised his hand up.He was not surprised to see that he was the only one in favor of the humans.Instead, he dropped his hand moments later and began tapping on the table lightly.King Atris didn't see the need to say any more words, it was clear that no one was in favor of humans except Luca.But what Luca said next surprised them."The peace treaty has been signed. Humans are no fools. There will be war, and it will be soon. The least we can do is make them feel like a living thing while they are here. If no one
★★★Acting with the utmost caution, Ansel was able to leave the medical lab without arousing any suspicion from the guards or the two men that came in earlier.Luckily, they didn't really suspect a thing and he had also gotten to know their names.In the end, he ended up outside the castle grounds, the breeze blowing directly to his face.Earlier he had checked up on Doctor Elara and she was still very much in deep slumber.He went ahead to walk out of the gates, when the guards saw who looked to be doctor Elara, they let their guards down and allowed him to walk out of the gates.Ansel walked out of the gates and headed straight to the village gates.They had hidden their portals somewhere around and Ansel was going to find it by all means.He walked ahead, the sound of feet stomping on the ground disappearing as he walked a farther distance.As the wind whipped Elara's hair around Ansel's face, a sudden, fleeting thought crossed his mind, perhaps he could cut her hair, changing her
★★★Meanwhile, he soon left the dungeon and went back to the medical department.Ansel couldn't quite understand.First, his wrist band was destroyed and now he had no idea about what was happening to the rest of his team.He walked around the room, tensed.Ansel slept in the medical facility and woke up the next day.He went with the usual duty of helping sick patients and checking up on the real Doctor Elara who was in his body.His body was starting to show signs of waking up but his body hadn't fully woken up.Ansel soon heard rumors circulating in the castle.About the humans living in the most scary castle.He was glad that they were at least alive.Ansel breathed out a sigh of relief before walking over to his body.Since he had found three portals, he remembered the old man with red flowing hair.An idea popped into his mind.Didn't the old man say he was no enemy?He couldn't trust the old man yet but it wasn't like he had a choice.After spending hours in the room, he notice
Doctor Elara had indeed passed the information to Luca and Ansel was allowed to leave the hell-hole they had locked him in.His heart softened a little and he decided not to take revenge on Doctor Elara for Linda's death.The king was the one who ordered her to do it after all.As Ansel got to the strange castle, the guards who had escorted him immediately turned to leave.Ansel took a moment to admire the castle, his eyes taking in the impressive structure for the first time. He paused to take in the sight before finally entering the dark castle.The dark surroundings and chilly air shared some similarities with the underground dungeon.A small light appeared in the distance and he followed it to see a large room that was brightly illuminated.Just as Ansel was taking in the various rooms surrounding him on both sides, he caught sight of Luca, standing directly in his path.Ansel’s heart rate surged as he was taken aback by Luca’s sudden, dramatic appearance. His breath hitched in
★★★With a dazed look in his eyes, Ansel blinked back into the present moment, finding himself once again seated across from Luca in the dimly lit room. The orb's glow died down. Lost in deep thought, He placed his hand on his chin and sniffed back some tears.It all felt like a movie.These mysterious people had been around for ages, yet the government was doing everything in their power to keep them hidden from the public eye. No one had any idea that these beings existed."Was King Atris the king at that time?" Ansel asked in a defeated tone as if he already knew the answer.Luca nodded and he soon confirmed his suspicions.King Atris had been illegally abducting humans.Which only meant that when the humans tried to stop them, the only option they could come up with was joining forces with the MPK members.Reason why they had sent them to check the activities going on in the world.And their next visit was because they wanted to propose a peace treaty.But King Atris was too gree
At the King's castle, inside the meeting room.Luca sat beside Ansel. Most of the elders had already been called to attend the meeting. While sitting, Ansel noticed a slight frown on Luca's face.He also noticed that Luca communicated with the elders through the mind link. Every few seconds, Ansel would see them shaking their heads disapprovingly, while some of them listened attentively with grave expressions.He sat quietly, after all, he didn't know what a mind link was, but he knew vampires used it to communicate amongst themselves. It wasn't like he could use it anyway.Soon, the king arrived, and the elders stood up to greet him as a sign of respect. Ansel observed their movements, they kept their heads bowed slightly.He noticed a weary expression on the king's face, the lines around his eyes and mouth seemed more pronounced than usual.Almost as if he hadn't had a proper night's rest.Ansel looked to his side and saw that Luca also sat down, seemingly unbothered.The elders
