"Have any of you met anyone from the palace?" Kace asked as he turned to look at his tribe. Not a single one of them replied in the affirmative. A few mentioned that there had to be someone around since there was always food available in the barracks cafeteria at certain times. However, it was always already placed out for them whenever they arrived. They never came into contact with whoever had prepared the mysterious food. Kace was already on guard before, but now he was outright wary of the structure…-

As the palace began to creep into view, Kace4 found it to be underwhelming compared to the scale of the vampire's one. It was not much larger than the other buildings around it, which would make it easy to mistake it for just any other building. It had a distinct lack of gold painted on it like the other buildings in its vicinity. In its place, there was plenty of purple patterns painted on it instead. 'They say that purple used to be a royal colour back on Earth. Is it the same here? Or is it just…

"It will take around three days. We'll get as many craftsmen on the job as soon as possible." The manager replied with a sincere voice. Kace nodded in satisfaction. Although he did not know how long Sophia would need to prepare the army to move out, he felt like a few days would be more than enough. In fact, it would probably end up as her waiting on him again. 'I still need to meet up with the ruler and convince her to lend some troops as well.' Kace thought about the issue and realised that convincing…

On top of the counter now sat thirty different potions of varying permanent effects. In total, if he drunk all of these his Strength and Endurance would increase by twenty points each, his Speed would gain thirty points, Charm would earn a massive fifty points! And his Luck would gain an extra ten points. Kace kind of wished that they had more Luck potions, but beggars can not be choosers. Of course, all of these potions came at what he expected to be an exorbitant price, judging by the predatory grin the…

"Thanks for the gift." Sophia gave Kace a radiant smile after she was finished being fitted up for her new armour. "Where'd Shadow go off to?" "He's away to find the tribe. I figured this was a good chance to get everyone prepared for the war." Kace shrugged his shoulders as he returned her smile. "It's not like the council outfitted them for me. It's something that completely escaped my thoughts until just now." "Makes sense. You need your troops to be ready. Since you're going to be busy for a while, I…

Kace felt like he understood what Sophia's issue was. He guessed that she was worried that because he was set on paying as little as possible, the gift he owed her would also be cheap. There was a good chance that he was right in thinking this, he thought while nodding his head. "What about you? Have you already decided on something?" Kace asked while glancing at her sour expression. "I have a few ideas." Sophia's mood seemed to perk up when the conversation turned to her reward for helping him. "But…

Kace had no idea about the value of the stuff that Shadow quickly listed off. However, Sophia's face became more and more incredulous with each new item that came out of Shadow's mouth. For a moment, Kace thought that Sophia had gone into shock. Since she failed to react when he called her name. "Sorry, what did you say?" Sophia asked with a shaky voice as she finally realised that Kace was speaking to her. "I said, do you have any idea how much all of this is worth?" Kace chuckled at the expression she…

The familiar voice stirred something deep within Kace. The best way he could describe it was that he felt like he only just realised that he had missed the sound of that voice. Kace turned his head towards the source, only for his heart to skip a beat. 'Sophia.' The vampire princess was not currently wearing her usual armour. Instead, Sophia wore a light blue outfit that looked to be made of soft, thin fabric. The top half of the outfit cut off before her belly, exposing its flat surface to all. The top…

The strange creature continued its chattering screeches as it pointed one of its overly long fingers in the direction of the oasis at the centre of the city. 'I can't tell if it's trying to warn us that that is where the danger will come from, or if that's where we need to go to avoid it.' The creature took a few tentative steps towards them, causing Shadow to become even more guarded. The creature stopped its actions as soon as it saw the goblins reaction. The screeches that followed almost sounded…

Kace slowly descended the boarding ramp, he activated Tracking and paid close attention to his phantom Hydra head. He was determined to catch any signs of an ambush as early as possible. The heat emanating from the sand was no joke, as Kace felt himself begin to sweat beneath his armour. Grugda, Shadow and Lilly slowly descended from the airship behind him. "Shadow, Grugda. Spread out. Lilly, stay close to me." Kace ordered without moving his gaze from the city before them. They wasted no time with…
