After the day Malak left the Von Stein family castle, the security got higher, and it seemed the two rank-four vampires had something on their minds. "Someone is trying to betray us. First is Malak's appearance, which should be locked away; now, my treasure box is missing. There is no way this is normal." It was not the first time they suspected something was amiss inside the castle. Some time ago, they ordered some guards to keep a close watch on some people they were suspicious about and also to ask…

The more Arthur followed Tessa, the more strange the entire situation became. She was the daughter of a duke, a rank-three vampire mage, yet that was not a motive for her to have so many contacts inside the castle and to act behind the back of the rank-four vampires in charge. She was plotting something, but for Arthur to know, he would have to learn more about the situation. But, with his current level, it would be hard to follow her through the secret passage in that library, but doable if he did…

The number of vampires in the training area was astonishing. Arthur was among the low-ranked soldiers, and their number kept increasing as the night went on, and it was evident that the Von Stein family was increasing the size of its army to conquer the demon continent. All the low-ranked soldiers ranged from the first to the fourth circle, while Arthur was already at the fifth circle, meaning the upcoming training would be a stroll in the park for him. "Listen, everyone! We will start with a circuit.…

Tessa acted weird and did not want Arthur to know anything about what the vampire had told her. That only made Arthur's curiosity increase, and for that reason, he followed her. With Arthur's power, following her would be impossible, but he was no ordinary vampire, and the inheritance from the Blood Monarch had many spells. Now that he had both parts of the inheritance, it was easier for him to learn such spells, especially with his blood essence. He was there to be a spy, so the first spells he tried to…

"This is your room," Tessa said, showing Arthur where he would sleep under her command. It was a part of the castle Tessa owned — one of the perks for being the daughter of a duke — and there not only was the place where she lived, but the servants under her command also had a room there. Of course, her room was way better than her servants, but it was still decent enough; at least Arthur liked it. There was a bed, a bathroom, and a fireplace, as vampires often needed fire to warm their…

The first few days of the trip had been alright for Arthur. Better than ever, as he was in a comfy carriage, not having to worry about the journey's dangers. But something was different. Arthur was feeling uneasy and sometimes with the urge to throw up. Arthur did not know what it was until Tessa pointed out why that was happening. "They got you back then, right in the neck. You know, a werewolf bite is poisonous to us, vampires." Arthur did not know a bite from a werewolf was poisonous to vampires, but…

Arthur could not hear what the two hunters were saying as he slept inside a wooden crate covered with animal furs. Night time came, and the two hunters went to the basement, Arthur heard them coming, so it was easy for him to avoid them. They did not look for crates, and apparently, they did not want to store any items. "What are they doing here?" thought Arthur as he gazed at them. It was not looking like the usual way hunters acted, and Arthur was sure of it when the man pulled out some crates,…

Everyone sleeping inside their carriages woke up with the screams coming from outside, and the merchant, the owner of all the carriages, was the first to come out. "What happened? Why are you screaming in the middle of the night?" "A- A vampire! I saw my friend's body behind a bush with fang marks on his neck, and he had been drained of blood!" "What? Tell me what happened." The man explained about his friend, who went to pee, and did not return, so he went out looking for him, and that is when he…
-
The task of filling the carriages with supply crates was not easy, and everyone involved was tired to the bones, but it was a way to get to ride along, which was what most were looking for. Arthur was there, helping too, and even though he had a skinny body, his strength was not something to make fun of, especially among weaker mages or ordinary people. There was a man beside Arthur, and when he saw how Arthur put the crates inside with ease, he said, "strong one, aren't you?" Arthur was not feeling…

The two remaining vampires did not understand what Arthur meant with the whole dragon thing. There was no way for him to be a dragon. That passed through their minds when they dashed toward Arthur with fists ready to punch. Arthur was ready for it, and in a regular battle, he would be more careful when fighting against two rank three mages, but a fight about who had the stronger body? He was not scared about that! The first vampire came with a right hook, one Arthur easily dodged by ducking down, and…
