Chapter 184 Alone With The Vampire
Damian's mind powers proved to be useful once again. He read the butler's memories, learning more about the castle layout, but more importantly about Serana, who was really inside the castle!
He saw her face! It was impossible not to recognize her! The butler had seen her only once, and it was on the day she arrived at the castle.
'I still have no idea where she is,' Damian thought.
It was good to be certain she was really there, but he didn't know where in the castle, and that place was huge! Damian had to look for her, but before doing that, he had to continue the butler's chores.
He finished cleaning the room where he met the butler, and then cleaned the hallway too, sweeping and taking all the dust away. Once he was finished with all the things he had to do as a butler, it was night time!
The vampires came out of their coffins, and it was time for the humans to sleep.
"The prince is calling us in the main room," a woman said to Damian.
She worked in the kitchen, and when night arrived, all of the humans had to gather in the main hall for the prince's orders. He was the person Damian saw Serana with.
He was a tall, slim man with dark hair, red eyes, and pale skin. The common features of a vampire, but the prince had something other vampires did not have: a scar on his face!
"Is everyone here? Good," the prince said, sitting on his throne. "My contacts in the city have told me that Lance is talking with people to come here and watch us, maybe even invade the castle."
That was Damian! How did the prince know about that so quickly? Perhaps his contacts were close friends of Lance?
"I believe they will not try to invade this castle so soon, maybe after a few days of watching. Our plan is quite simple. We will pretend to lower our guard, and once they enter, we kill them," the prince said.
"All you have to do is not stay close to the windows all the time, and that's it. Understood? Yes, then it is time for you all to go to sleep."
Damian was feeling delighted on the inside. The situation was better than he thought it would be! Not even the vampire prince thought the humans would invade their castle so soon, and the surprise attack coming from Damian would prove to be effective!
All of the servants left the main hall and went to their rooms. Damian did the same, but after staying inside his room for a few minutes, he left.
It was time to start killing vampires! The butler was one of the few people who could leave and walk freely through the castle during the night.
Why? The vampire prince trusted the butler, and even planned on turning him into a vampire in the future. Damian knew that because of the memories he stole.
"Jeremias, what are you doing here?" the vampire prince said.
Damian walked all the way up to the prince's private room in the middle of the night. There was no other vampire around, only the prince.
"I came here to warn you about something," Damian said.
It instantly caught the prince's attention.
"I think the intruders may be inside already. I saw an unknown person walking in the halls, going toward that area where you took that lady a few days ago!" Damian said.
"What?"
The prince got anxious, not knowing what to do. That was the plan Damian had in mind. He did not know where Serana was, so he faked it to let the prince lead the way, and it worked like magic!
"Don't tell anyone about this or else chaos will break out inside this castle. Thank you for letting me know, Jeremias. I will go there to check it myself!" the prince said.
They both left the prince's room, with Damian acting as if he was returning to his room. However, in reality, he followed the prince, trying his best to keep himself hidden from him.
This was only possible because of his telekinesis. Damian was not touching his feet on the ground, so he was almost like a ghost, making no sound.
"Any sound will attract the attention of these vampires. Their supernatural hearing is a pain in the ass," Damian thought.
Anyway, Damian followed the prince throughout the castle, and the place he went to was underneath the castle! That was Damian's guess. Castles usually had underground areas, which were perfect for locking someone up.
There was a double door made of pure steel, and once the prince opened it, he saw Serana tied in chains inside the room. No one else was there.
"Could Jeremias be mistaken? No, that's impossible."
The prince went close to check Serana, seeing that her chains were exactly like before with no signs of someone trying to get her out.
"Strange," the prince said, turning around. The moment he did that, someone was standing in the doorway, looking at him with a smirk.
It was Damian.
"Jeremias? What are you doing here? You know I like you, but this place is prohibited," the prince said.
Damian changed his face back to his real self, shocking the vampire!
"Tell me. Why did you kidnap her?" Damian asked.
"Who are you? How did you take Jeremias' appearance? Well, it does not matter, you will die here!"
The vampire dashed toward Damian, yet all it took for Damian to stop him was aim his palm and use his telekinesis. He lifted the vampire, who tried everything yet could not move.
"H-How are you doing this? Who are you?"
A feeling of being powerless took over the vampire's body. He never thought a random human would make him look like a fool.
Damian closed his fist, and the vampire's bones broke, one by one.
"Ahhh!" the vampire yelled in pain.
Only the two were down there, and that was the best opportunity Damian had to get the answers he was looking for!
