The Accidental Vampire

Ramiun sat alone in the Blood Council Castle. Everyone left, even the mysterious person who had just issued him a subtle threat to let him know that she knew what he was planning.

"Elisi is getting suspicious." The man stood up and walked back to the window of the castle, gazing outside. Through the window, he was able to see the Blood Council members leaving one after another. All of them seemed slightly upset that they had wasted their time by coming here.

The figure of the mysterious woman was also a part of the leaving group. As if sensing someone at the window, the woman gazed back at the window.

Her lips curled into a smile.

Ramiun turned his back on the woman. "No way in hell am I letting you know what I'm after."

"I'll handle things on my own. Do the worst you can."

Not only did Lilith tell Atlas everything about her being a clone and the reason behind it, but she also talked about how she infiltrated the Castle and how she needed a key to be able to reach Atlan. Unfortunately, that key was in the grasp of Razil, which she also told Atlas.

Fortunately, the effect of Zhang's spell on her was over by now, which allowed her to cast some spells of her own. She casted a small spell for some privacy, which was hard to detect. That spell made sure no one heard what they were discussing amongst themselves, at long as they didn't talk out loud.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom It was as if the area around them was sealed to some extent to give them the privacy they needed. This was exactly what Lilith was waiting for. That's why she hadn't informed Atlas before on the battlefield. She wanted to have some form of protection from being overhead, and it came at the right time.

"And that's why we would need to get the key from Razil without him finding out, and we need to do it today if possible. Because we don't have much time. If he goes to that basement and finds the guards missing, it won't take him long to understand what happened here."

"Taking the key from around his neck without him finding out." Atlas didn't believe that was even possible.

Firstly, Razil was already wary of them. He wasn't going to allow them to get close enough to him. And even if he did, he was going to keep a firm eye on them. And even if they somehow got close enough to him without attracting enough attention, the real act of theft was the toughest part. It was like a pendant, after all.

"Is there a spell you can use to take the key without alerting him?" he asked. "Physically, it isn't possible, but with the help of a little magic, it shouldn't be hard."

Lilith shook her head. "The key is under protection. It seems when the key was made, they already took enough precautions to make sure that it couldn't be stolen with the help of spells. I've already tried to do it, but it doesn't work. There's some kind of obstruction. We need to steal the key physically."

"It's easier said than done. Do you have any plans?"

Lilith shook her head. "Not at the moment, but there's one more problem that I didn't tell you about yet."

"What problem?"

"This clone body of mine... It is going to disappear soon. The spell isn't going to last long now. You need to create an opening for the real me to switch with this clone before this one disappears."

"Great. Not only do I need to steal a ring from Razil's neck, but I also need to distract the entire army around me, all because you decided to go alone without informing me."

"It's not the time to throw blame at each other." Lilith rolled her eyes. "If we start doing that, you'll be getting most of the blame."ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"What did I do?"

"If you hadn't arrived so openly and instead waited for me where I left you, we wouldn't be surrounded by the Wolves here, would we? I would've been able to get out as easily as I got in. At the same time, I could've also killed Zhang before leaving. No one would have known we were even here."

"Wouldn't that be possible if you had told me what you were going to do instead of taking off on your own? How was I supposed to know you weren't kidnapped or hurt?" Atlas grimaced. "What I did is also on you, not on me."

"If I had told you, would you let me go alone?" Lilith asked, silencing Atlas.

Atlas knew she was right in this. There was no way he was going to let her go alone, and he also had a good reason for it. He still believed Lilith's plan was stupid. Going alone was the worst thing she could do. It was short-sighted. She relied a lot on herself in taking this risk and none on others.

"Lilith, I told you before. This is something that was my decision. I needed to do this. It was my promise. And I am fully capable of fulfilling this promise without you risking yourself."

"This isn't just about you anymore, Atlas. This is about all of us now, including me. Because of the involvement of the Blood Council and their goal, this isn't just a matter of small things like helping keep up a promise. It's about way more than you can imagine, including the future."

"That's why it became a matter of my concern as well."

"And you thought I wasn't worth taking along? Or I was going to slow you down?"

"That's not what I meant. I was-"

"No, that's exactly what you meant. How dare you talk to me like that after all I did for you?!"

Atlas stopped keeping his voice down as if he was really upset now.

"I didn't-"

"Enough of your explanation! You know what, screw you? I've had enough of you!" Frustrated, Atlas stood up. "I need some alone time. I don't want to be in your presence!"

He rushed to the door, seemingly heartbroken.

"Where do you think you're going?" The Middle Aged General stopped before Atlas, stopping him while also wondering what this lover's quarrel was. Weren't these two close? Why were they fighting now?

"Step aside. I'm not in the mood right now!" Atlas grimly stated. "I don't want to even see her face right now."

While speaking, he pushed his way out.

"He..." Lilith couldn't believe it. How could Atlas get so angry just from this? She truly felt bad. He really misunderstood him.

However, she noticed something as Atlas was leaving. Atlas brought his hand behind him, showing her a thumbs up to her.
