Ch. 106..110: The Vampire Prince's Blindfolded Bride Chapter 106-110

Chapter 106: Alora needs me

The next morning, Alora was too lazy to get out of bed while Magnus was still asleep. She pulled out her notebook from inside the drawer along with other items. Instead of writing, she started drawing– The Sleeping Magnus.

Half an hour later when she finished, she let it dry for some time. Suddenly, she felt pain in her lower abdominal region, which reminded her of her monthly cycle. She quickly jumped out of the bed and ran to the washroom.

Hearing the thud of the door closing, Magnus’s sleep broke abruptly. Blinking groggily, he realized Alora was nowhere to be seen, but instead, he found a notebook, an inkpot, and a pen left behind.

He sat up on the bed and picked up the notebook. A few of its pages were filled, making him realize that Alora started it recently. "Is it her personal journal?" Magnus mumbled. Though he didn’t wish to read it, he couldn’t end his curiosity about what was inside it.

Magnus opened the first page and found it she started it the day she shed wearing the blindfold. She had written in broken sentences, which made Magnus smile. Though she had written less, he could feel the intensity of her emotions. As he flipped more pages, he saw his drawings on it.

Magnus came across his drawing figure beside which Alora had written– "Alora Loves Magnus." A smile was carved on his lips to read it. After some time, he placed it in its place, waiting for Alora to come out of the washroom.

As Magnus lay on the mattress, he recalled that he had yet to give her a surprise soon. A week was going to pass soon, then one more week would remain.

Magnus closed his momentarily when Alora finally emerged in the room. He found she looked low in energy in the morning, which was unusual for her character.

"Good morning, Love," Magnus greeted her.

Alora came to him and sat beside him. She rested her head on his shoulder and wrapped her hand around him. "Good morning," she returned the greeting.

Magnus sensed something was off with her. His hand moved to the top of her head as he caressed it. "Is everything fine?" he asked.

"My monthly cycle started today," Alora informed him.

Magnus lowered his head briefly before meeting her gaze. "Do you feel pain?" he asked.

"Yes, but it’s bearable," Alora replied, managing a faint smile despite the discomfort.

"Lay down. You should rest. I’ll bring something hot for you to drink," Magnus stated, his concern evident for his wife.

"I will take a bath first," Alora asserted.

"You can do that later too if the pain is too much," Magnus suggested.

"No," Alora refused, sitting up straight. She glanced at the notebook and asked if he had read it.

"I checked it and read a few things," Magnus admitted truthfully.

"You didn’t have to read it," Alora muttered and put the notebook inside the drawer. She then went to the cupboard and took out a gown, which needed no corset to wear. Magnus, on the other hand, prepared to go down to order the servants to make a hot chocolate for Alora.

After Alora headed to the bathhouse, Magnus went downstairs.

~~~

Alora returned to the room after having a hot bath, feeling much better. She found the room was already cleaned, the sheets were changed. Magnus came to her side, placing his hand on her back. He brought her to bed and made her sit on it by keeping some pillows behind her back.

"I feel better, Magnus. You don’t need to take so much care of me," Alora said.

Magnus handed her a mug filled with hot chocolate, topped with berries.

"What is it?" Alora was surprised.

"A hot drink for you. It will help in relieving the pain," Magnus stated, offering her a spoon as well.

Alora thanked him and ate the strawberries from its top first. Magnus thought of brushing her hair and went to the dressing table. He brought the comb with him and sat beside her.

"Let me brush your hair," Magnus said.

Alora turned her back at him and he took out the wrapped towel from her hair. He gently moved the brush in her hair. "What would you like to eat for breakfast? I’ll ask the servants to prepare that kind of food only," Magnus said.

"I’d like to eat milk and rice porridge," Alora replied.

"Alright."

Alora enjoyed the hot chocolate drink along with the gentle care she got from Magnus. Magnus took the mug from her and placed it on the tray. "Have some rest. I brushed your hair as well." Magnus left the room, taking the tray with him. Outside he handed it to a servant and then instructed her about the breakfast Alora wished to eat.

Magnus returned to the room and saw Alora was resting. He wondered if she was already asleep because then he would not disturb her.

As she opened her eyes, she lazily said, "I feel sleepy. I think I’ll sleep for some time."

"Alright. Get some sleep," Magnus said softly, watching her lay down before covering her with the duvet. Planting a gentle kiss on her forehead, he whispered, "I’ll freshen up quickly."

"Hmm," Alora acknowledged, her eyes already drifting shut.

Alora watched him leave as she quickly succumbed to sleep. Half an hour later, Magnus returned to the room in his usual robes, his damp hair slightly disheveled as he ran his fingers through it.

Discovering Alora was still asleep, he didn’t disturb her and went downstairs to check if the porridge was ready.

"Frederick has found the human. Your assumption was right. It’s a vampire hunter," Izaak informed him as he saw his brother crossing the living room.

"That’s great," Magnus gave a nonchalant response.

"Shouldn’t you ask me when we both will see the Vampire Hunter?" Izaak arched his eyebrow at him.

"I’m not interested in going out today. Alora needs me," Magnus stated. Just then, Louis entered the living room, informing Magnus that the porridge was ready.

"Why? Is everything fine? How’s Alora? I didn’t see her around," Izaak inquired.

"She’s not feeling well and is resting in the room," Magnus replied. "I’ll talk with Brother Izaak later," he added before heading to the kitchen.

 

Chapter 107: To arrest Venus Wilson

Zinnia met Venus in the market, at a coffee house. "I tried locating Alora, but I couldn’t get any clue about her. Did you find out she has gone?" Zinnia inquired.

"No one knows," Venus replied and asked Zinnia not to meet her ever.

"Why?" Zinnia knitted her brows together. "I thought we would in this game of revenge for a long time," she added.

"I am no longer interested in this," Venus stated and took the last sip of the coffee. "You lost your dear mate, so you should keep finding a way to end Alora," she affirmed with a smile.

Zinnia didn’t understand why Venus suddenly stepped back. However, she was determined not to let Venus go this easily. She was the reason why Eugene went to those lengths and lost his life.

"What’s with that stare? Why does it feel like you wish to kill me?" Venus taunted.

"Zinnia, don’t forget it was you who became the reason for Eugene’s death. If only you hadn’t eyed a married man, everything would have gone well," she proclaimed.

"Venus, don’t make me expose you in front of your sister and the entire royalty. You cannot live in peace. It was you who started this," Zinnia pronounced, her eyes gleaming with intensity as she glared at her.

Venus chuckled to hear her threatening words. "Do it. Who is scared of you?" She muttered and left her seat. "Enjoy your coffee," saying that Venus walked out of the coffee house.

She unfurled the fan in her hand and fanned it before her face. "Such filthy people I have to deal with," Venus remarked when she heard the sound of a horse galloping.

Taking a few steps ahead, she entered the carriage and closed the fan in her hand. "Ramon wants to see me alone today. I need to look fabulous that he won’t be able to take my eyes off," she declared and headed to the famous dress house of the capital.

Odin glanced at the leaving carriage and then, went into the coffee house.

Zinnia was ready to leave when Odin blocked her way. "Have a seat, Miss Zinnia," Odin said and he elegantly sat on the chair. He gestured to Zinnia to take a seat, who asked about his identity first.

Odin smiled and looked into her eyes. His eyes glimmered making Zinnia understand that it was a Vampire. She gulped, but at the same time, she maintained her composure.

Odin tapped his finger as he waited for Zinnia to sit on it. When she did, he asked about her well-being.

"Why is a vampire interested in knowing about my well-being?" asked Zinnia, fidgeting with her fingers nervously.

"Because My Lord would like to punish a werewolf with ease then," Odin affirmed. "Why did you choose to help Venus and go after Princess Alora?" he queried.

Zinnia gulped as she had no idea how a vampire found out about it. She remained quiet when she heard Odin speak further.

"Tell me everything that Venus has asked you to do. Perhaps I may help you reduce your sentence," Odin stated with a smirk.

Zinnia thought to run away and wandered her eyes around.

"Don’t even think of doing that. I won’t take a second to snap your head," Odin stated with a stern tone.

"Why don’t you introduce yourself first?" Zinnia queried.

"A werewolf doesn’t need any kind of introduction. However, I can tell you that I am a servant to Prince Magnus. And whatever you and Venus were planning for the past few days will be reported to him as soon as he returns," Odin affirmed.

"Prince Magnus," Zinnia murmured. That name itself sent shivers down her spine.

"I-I didn’t do..." Zinnia stuttered because now she felt even her family would get punished.

"You made a mistake by following Venus’s orders. Sadly, I have to capture you and your fate will be decided by Prince Magnus himself. Also, your family will be executed," Odin affirmed and stood up. Two Guardian Vampires came forward to drag out Zinnia when she got on her knees in front of the many people in the coffee house.

"Please, let my family go. It was Venus who wanted me to kill Alora, her elder sister. She told me as Eugene’s mate, I shouldn’t take revenge on Alora, who became the reason for my mate’s demise," Zinnia pleaded with him.

Odin gazed at her and chuckled. "I don’t make decisions whether to punish someone or pardon the person. I cannot let go of a werewolf, who wanted to harm Princess Alora," he proclaimed and gestured to the vampires beside him to drag Zinnia out.

"Prince Magnus, I did a wonderful job. This time Venus will be punished for real," Odin was proud of himself as he entered the coach in which he had come while Zinnia was locked in the iron prison cart.

Odin had already instructed to go to Wilson’s Residence since he had to arrest Venus too.

Upon arriving there, the guard opened the gates for Odin and walked in. The servant, who was on the stairs, ran inside to inform about a vampire’s visit.

Madam Aubrey and Norman exchanged glances at each other, wondering why a vampire suddenly visited them.

"I think Alora has returned to the capital," Madam Aubrey told Norman with a smile.

"No, Princess Alora hasn’t returned yet," Odin’s voice reverberated in their ears.

Norman recognized him and greeted him. "Please have a seat, Odin," Norman said.

"I am not here to sit, Lord Norman. I am here to arrest Venus Wilson on the charges of conspiring against Princess Alora," Odin proclaimed, bringing shock to their faces.

"I think there’s some misunderstanding, Odin," Norman said.

"I have evidence with me. Unfortunately, your dear second daughter wanted to kill Princess Alora with the help of a werewolf. Prince Magnus had given me the task before his departure to keep an eye on Miss Venus. As expected, Miss Venus went beyond the boundaries of evilness. I don’t wish to waste any of our time, so hand over Miss Venus to me," Odin pronounced with a stern gaze.

 

Chapter 108: Needs to be imprisoned

"I think there’s a misunderstanding. Why would Venus do that?" Madam Aubrey remarked, telling Odin not to tarnish the relationship between the two sisters.

"Venus isn’t in the house. I would like to see the evidence on which basis Odin put forward such a claim," Norman stated.

"Eugene’s mate has been lingering around the residence for a few days. She has admitted that Miss Venus told her to kill Princess Alora. She is sent to the prison already," Odin announced.

Madam Aubrey’s heartbeats raced and she felt her head heavy. "Why did Venus do that?" she mumbled and fell to the sofa.

At that very moment, Venus entered the house. "Grandma, I brought the dress for the evening meeting with Ramon," she said with a delighted expression on her face. However, seeing Odin there, the smile slowly faded from her lips.

Norman walked to Venus and asked her, "Did you meet Eugene’s mate?"

Venus’s eyes slightly grew and her heart palpitated with apprehension.

"No," Venus lied. "Why would I meet Eugene’s mistress?" She glanced at Odin and pondered why he was there.

Odin chuckled to hear her lie. He turned around and said, "Miss Zinnia and Miss Venus were in the coffee house earlier. Miss Zinnia has already been taken to prison. Now, Miss Venus should admit the truth about how she instigated a werewolf, who lost her mate, to take Princess Alora’s life. Zinnia has already confessed her crimes," he elaborated the scenario to Venus.

"Is it true, Venus?" Norman asked his daughter.

She didn’t know what to say when a slap landed on her face. Rhea, who was at the top of the stairs, rushed down to check what was happening. She stopped Norman from hitting Venus.

"Rhea, move aside. Our daughter’s actions have brought such disgrace upon us!" Norman exclaimed, his voice filled with disappointment and frustration.

Odin typically avoided human family dramas, but for some reason, he found himself strangely drawn to this one.

"How could you do this to your own sister? Who put you up to scheming against Alora?" Norman’s voice rang out in anger, directed at Venus this time.

Tears cascaded down Venus’s cheeks, her father’s slap leaving her stunned—it was the first time he had ever struck her.

Norman had no idea what he should do now. His family name was already tarnished after what happened with Eugene and his family. Now, Venus’s evil act would completely destroy their remaining image as well.

He turned to Odin and with extreme shame, Norman said, "Odin, let’s not stretch the matter far. Alora isn’t in the capital. She is safe. About Zinnia, you should release her too."

"Pardon me, Norman. This is against the rules. I did what was just. Your daughter needs to be imprisoned. Whether she will be punished or pardoned, is up to Prince Magnus to decide," Odin clarified to him.

Venus clenched her fists because once again because of Alora she had to feel humiliated.

"Moreover, your daughter isn’t ready to repent. It’s a serious offense to conspire against royalty. Rest assured, Norman, until Prince Magnus returns, Miss Venus won’t be interrogated. She has to spend her days in prison," Odin declared firmly, casting a glance at the visibly agitated Venus.

"No! I won’t go to prison," Venus protested.

Odin snickered to hear her. "Miss Venus should not have schemed to kill Princess Alora," he stated and called for the guardians. They dragged her out of the house when Rhea went to Odin.

Joining her hands, she told Odin not to do so. "I’ll discipline Venus well. Please trust me," she asserted.

"Forgive me, Lady Rhea. Rules are equal for everyone," Odin said. "Let’s see each other after Prince Magnus and Princess Alora return," he slightly bowed to Rhea and walked out of the house.

Rhea fell to the floor while weeping. She failed to give value to Venus. As a mother, this was her biggest failure and she blamed herself for today’s incident.

Madam Aubrey too felt sick, her heart squeezing tightly as if he would explode any time. She found it difficult to breathe and she called Norman’s name.

Norman rushes to his mother while Rhea stands up from her place. She asked the servant to call the doctor and sat next to Aubrey, taking her hand in hers. Rhea found her entire family shattering in front of her eyes and it made her helpless.

Venus, on the other hand, was thrown into a closed prison with only one small window at the top. She requested the Guardians not to do this with her, but her words fell on deaf ears.

Odin walked in as the guardians walked out. "Prince Magnus warned you not to harm Princess Alora. Foolish human," he pressed his finger at her forehead, "you should know that nobody stays alive who infuriates the prince."

Venus insisted she would never betray her sister, but Odin ignored her pleas.

"Your fate lies in Prince Magnus’s hands. You’ll be provided with three meals a day. Hopefully, you’ll survive," Odin remarked before departing the prison.

Venus screamed for help, but the gates remained closed. Despondent, she sank to the floor, weeping and lamenting her misfortune.

Odin came to the residence, where Tobias was present. "I locked Venus and Zinnia separately. Do you think I should deliver this message myself to Prince Magnus or wait for his return?" asked Odin for his wise opinion.

"I think Odin shall go to Shadowbrook and inform Prince Magnus about what’s happening behind his back. It’s a grave matter and it needs his prior attention," Tobias asserted after contemplating.

"Then, I shall depart for Shadowbrook," Odin stated.

"At this hour?" Tobias arched his eyebrows at him.

"I’ll be there by midnight," Odin answered.

"Then, please give this to Prince Magnus. It carries an important message for him," Tobias said with a serious tone.

"What is it?" Odin knitted his brows together as he looked at the envelope.

"It’s confidential, Odin," Tobias stated. Hearing that, Odin didn’t ask further and picked up the envelope. "I will return soon." He put the envelope inside his outer coat’s pocket and left for Shadowbrook.

Chapter 109: Damian Von Grimm

Alora finished drinking the tea and having her light breakfast. Yesterday her entire energy was drained, but today she felt a lot better. There was a slight pain in her lower back, but she was better. The female servant helped her go to the room and told her she should rest for some time.

"Where is Prince Magnus?" asked Alora as she rested her back on the fluffy pillow.

"His Highness is downstairs with Prince Izaak. Should I call him, Your Highness?" asked the female servant.

Alora shook her head and asked her if she could take out the notebook and the ink pen from inside the drawer. The servant quickly complied with that and handed her the desired items.

"Thank you," Alora told her she should leave and she resumed her work. Practicing writing was better than sitting idle. She needed to learn to form sentences fast so that she would aid Magnus in a better way when they joined the council.

Downstairs, Magnus was shocked to see Odin. He lowered the glass in his hand and asked Odin why he was in Shadowbrook. "When did you come here? I was here to spend alone time with Alora and here you all are present like a family gathering," he complained and again brought the glass to his mouth.

"Magnus, but none of us disturbed you during your stay here. You two do get alone time together," Izaak replied with a smirk.

"It’s a serious matter, Your Highness," Odin said, which brought some seriousness to the atmosphere.

"What is it?" Magnus asked as he sat down next to Izaak, but kept some distance.

"I imprisoned Venus Wilson," Odin said.

"What did she do?" Magnus lowered the glass and set it on the table before him.

"Venus conspired with a she-wolf to kill Princess Alora. As per Your Highness’s order, I kept a close eye on Venus. Venus instigated Eugene’s mate, Zinnia, to come after Princess Alora. Zinnia even was seen around the palace. Yesterday, I caught them and imprisoned them both," Odin narrated to him the entire incident based on which he took such a step.

Magnus’s jaw tightened, and his facial expressions turned darker as he felt like killing Venus as soon as he reached Velaris.

"Venus is such a fool!" Izaak chuckled and glanced at his brother. "Will Alora let you kill her?" He doubted that and wondered what Magnus would do about this.

"There is no reason left to spare Venus," Magnus stated.

"I know. However, your dear wife, my sister-in-law isn’t as just as us. She is emotional. Venus will show a few tears to Alora and her heart will change. And if you try to kill Venus, it can affect your relationship with your wife, Brother," Izaak proclaimed.

"Does Brother Izaak want to kill Venus then?" Magnus tilted his head at him.

"No. Let the two sisters handle this. You should follow what Alora decides in the end," Izaak advised him.

"I don’t wish to do that. I don’t want Alora to suffer more," Magnus asserted. "Let her rot in the prison for more days," he added, looking at Odin.

"There is one more message that Tobias has asked me to deliver to Prince Magnus," said Odin and took out the envelope from inside his coat. "Here, Your Highness," he proclaimed.

Magnus knitted his brows together and opened the envelope to check what was inside it. He found out a confidential document and took it out. Izaak moved closer to him to read it and found out it was from his confidant, Ragnar.

"Since when you were looking into Aunt Ophelia’s death?" Izaak questioned him.

"For eight months before returning to Velaris," Magnus replied.

"It was already told that she died because of her old age. No external wound was found in her body," Izaak muttered.

"Someone fed her velcrox, a poison derived from an ancient tree called Ash Tree," Magnus asserted.

"Then, why didn’t you tell this to Father and Mother?" Izaak inquired.

"Because I had no proof. This I found out from a servant in close service with the aunt. However, she mysteriously died before I could bring her to Velaris," Magnus explained to him.

Griffin and Odin exchanged glances at each other, realizing the depth of the situation.

"You should have at least informed me," Izaak asserted and looked at the report in Magnus’s hands. "Doesn’t it seem like a murder? And why would someone kill our aunt?" he was puzzled. "Does it tell about the name of the person, who murdered her?" he then questioned.

"Yes. Do you remember the notorious vampire, who was after Father’s throne?" Magnus inquired her.

"It can’t be Damian Von Grimm," Izaak stated.

"It is. I have been looking for him for quite a while, but I’m unable to locate him," Magnus affirmed.

"I heard that Damian is ruthless," Griffin intervened. "I’ve heard the stories about him," he added, looking troubled.

"He tortures even his own kind of people in brutal ways. Father was sure that Damian died long ago because he himself did that work," Izaak informed Magnus.

"But he didn’t die. Father must have made the mistake. Immortals aren’t easy to kill, Brother Izaak. And we should not forget how smart Damian is!" Magnus opined and he folded the document to put it inside the envelope.

"Take rest for today, Odin." Magnus rose to his feet as he was prepared to leave for his bedroom.

"Magnus, we need to tell about this to our father. We are in danger. Aunt Ophelia died because of a vampire, who is after us," Izaak pronounced with a concerned tone.

"We will once we go back," said Magnus and walked upstairs.

"Your Highness, is Damian really after the royalty?" Odin asked this time.

"Yes, if he is alive. Damian wants to be the ruler and annihilate the humans. That was his mission when he was alive. He only wants evil to rule all over the kingdom," Izaak stated with a deep frown on his forehead.

Chapter 110: To turn into a vampire

Izaak looked at Griffin and asked, "Will you accompany me outside?"

"For what, Your Highness?" asked Griffin. Though he was prepared to follow the Prince wherever he wanted.

"To meet the Vampire Hunter. I’ve yet to interrogate him. My brother is busy with other kinds of stuff, so you should accompany me. Odin shall take the rest," Izaak stated and rose to his feet.

Griffin was quick to follow his lead when Odin’s voice reached their ears.

"Is there a Vampire Hunter around?" Odin was also on his feet, feeling a bit troubled.

"Yes. The Guardians have caught him. However, I didn’t get the time to interrogate him. I have to find out how much are there," Izaak pronounced and went ahead. Griffin followed after the prince while Louis showed the room to Odin for the rest.

Izaak and Griffin arrived at the central prison of Shadowbrook. One of the guardians took them inside, where they met Frederick.

"Your Highness, he even refused to tell his name. Also, we refrained from torturing him because of the rules. He is a human after all," Frederick informed him.

"I will interrogate him," said Izaak and asked Frederick to show him the way. They went ahead to the prison, where the hunter was locked.

Entering the cell, Izaak surveyed the man, his arms bound with shackles as he stood in a daze. Frederick splashed water on the hunter’s face, startling him awake from his slumber.

"You both shall leave," Izaak said.

Frederick and Griffin left the prison cell before closing its door.

Izaak strode to the vampire hunter and halted in front of him finally. "Tell me your name," Izaak demanded, his cold voice sounded intimidating.

"Kill me," the man said.

Izaak gripped his neck tightly between his palms. "You think I’ll kill you so easily." His thumb pressed tightly against the skin of his neck. "I play games, but not the way a hunter wants me," he asserted.

"How did you enter Shadowbrook?" asked Izaak as he finally let off the hunter’s neck. He breathed deeply, feeling much better. "Still making me wait?" He arched his eyebrow. At this moment, he missed Magnus. He would have easily read the hunter’s mind and they would have found out everything. Why his brother was so lazy about such important tasks?

"Regardless, you vampires will end my life, so silence seems the wisest choice," the man retorted stubbornly, refusing to cooperate.

"What if I were to turn you into a vampire?" Izaak proposed. "Wouldn’t that be the ultimate punishment for you?" he added, knowing that vampire hunters despised the idea of becoming vampires themselves.

The man swallowed hard, shaking his head in refusal. Despite his attempts, he found himself unable to free himself from the unyielding shackles.

As Izaak’s canines lengthened and his pupils dilated, he seized the man’s neck, poised to subject him to his worst fear.

"The vampires slaughtered my family. I joined the Night Saviors to seek vengeance," the man blurted out hastily, realizing he could never bear the thought of becoming a vampire.

Izaak’s countenance reverted to its usual form, his grip loosening from the man’s neck once more.

"Where did it happen? And where is this group based?" Izaak questioned him.

"My family was massacred on a river island known as Emberwood. The Head of Shadowbrook brought my sister here and later killed her. That’s why I joined the Night Saviors," the man explained, his eyes welling with tears as he recounted the harrowing event.

Izaak frowned, pondering the significance of William’s interest in a human. He realized he needed to delve deeper into the matter to uncover the truth.

"How many vampire hunters are there?" Izaak questioned him.

"Please end my life. I cannot betray those who stood by me in my darkest hours. Vampires are supposed to hunt us humans," pleaded the man.

At that moment, the prison’s door creaked open, and a figure stepped inside.

"Who said we vampires seek to harm humans?" Magnus’s voice echoed in the chamber, reaching the ears of both the hunter and Izaak. Turning to face his brother, Izaak’s expression shifted from astonishment to a mixture of surprise and intrigue.

"We, the royal princes, shall ensure justice for you, Rubin Karlson," Magnus declared. "However, the condition is that you must disclose information about the hunters’ group," he added sternly.

Rubin was taken aback by Magnus’s knowledge of his name.

"I can read minds. Yet, I prefer not to delve into your memories to uncover details about the group," Magnus continued, his gaze shifting to his brother. "So, speak. If you fail to cooperate, I’ll have no choice but to turn you into one of our kind," he warned Rubin.

Rubin shook his head in refusal and lowered his eyes. "I cannot tell the prince," he asserted.

"Brother, Rubin is loyal to his saviors. You should have turned him into a vampire," Magnus stated.

Izaak approached his brother with lightning speed and whispered in his ear, "We cannot turn him into a vampire if that’s what you have in mind. I was merely scaring him."

"But I’m serious about having him as one of the loyal people," Magnus stated with a loud enough voice. Rubin gulped hard and he pleaded with Magnus not to do so.

"You’ll forget all the pain you’ve undergone all these years, Kid," Magnus stated.

"I don’t want to," Rubin affirmed. "Please, I beg you."

"That day in the forest, you spotted me and my wife. Why didn’t you kill me right there, or why didn’t you harm her?" Magnus changed his question.

Rubin gazed at him and knitted his brows close.

"The lady with you was a human, and I don’t intend to harm a human. Furthermore, my enmity is with Dylan, not the others," Rubin affirmed.

"Interesting thoughts," Magnus stated. "I’ll kill Dylan, but you’ve to turn into a vampire," he put forward the condition. "Even your savior group won’t be able to take down Dylan. What do you think? You have a minute to tell me about your decision."
