"Who is that girl?"
Razil was standing on the balcony of his castle when he noticed Zhang carrying a woman inside the castle.
He jumped down the balcony, landing on the ground before following Zhang through the main entrance.
"You know it's your own castle. You don't have to stalk like that, old friend." Zhang stopped.
Still holding the young lady like she was a princess, he turned around.
"No one is stalking you." Razil frowned. "Tell me, who is that girl? Why did you bring her here?"
"Heh, don't worry about her. She is just a stray that I found interesting. She will be staying in my room though."
Seeing Zhang's smile, Razil rolled his eyes in disgust. He thought Zhang had kidnapped a random girl to spend a night with her.
"I'll see you in the morning. I hope the preparation of handing over the custody of Atlan to us is completed by then."
Zhang left, carrying the young lady in his arms. He straight went to the guest room that was assigned to him for as long as he was here.
After entering the room, he placed Lilith on the bed. After placing Lilith on the bed, Zhang moved back. He picked up a chair and sat in the distance, gazing at Lilith.
"It was great luck finding you here. You have no idea how long we have been looking for you. I even started thinking that you were probably long dead since you hadn't made an appearance in centuries. I was so surprised to find you here."
"Just my luck. Tomorrow I'll get the custody of a Progenitor, and today I got the great Lilith. Though I must say, I heard many great things about you. The reality was pretty underwhelming. You couldn't even sense the sleep spell I cast on you while we were talking. Maybe because you were shocked that I knew your identity, that spell went under the radar."
"In any case, you're now my prisoner. You're now at my mercy. The Great Lilith, who was said to be impossible to capture, is now captured. The one who had half my clan destroyed and my ancestor killed by her protector is now in my control. Talking about your protector, if you're inside the city, that means Castiel wouldn't be far either."
The young man rubbed his chin, seemingly amused. "It seems that the Progenitors who went to sleep have started walking up, starting from Castiel. With their return, you also returned."
"But that also begs the question. What does Castiel want from this city? Why did he send you here? I don't think he wants a treaty with the Werewolves. That's impossible. And since he's just awakened most probably, he wouldn't want to fight Razil either since he'll be at his weakest after waking up. That leaves only one possibility reason that could bring him here."
"He is here for Atlan. Does Castiel want to free Atlan? What does he want? Only one person can answer that question. And it's you, Lilith. That's the only reason you're still alive... So wake up fast and answer me."
"But before that, let me take some safety precautions. No matter how weak, you're still Lilith at the end of the day. I won't want to take the risk.
Zhang joined his hands together and started casting a spell.
With each word of his spell that he chanted, a golden letter appeared before him, coming to reality.
Each of those letters flew to Lilith, landing on her body as if it was an imprint being made. A letter also landed on Lilith's forehead, cheeks, and hands.
After finishing the spell, Zhang stopped. The golden letters also appeared to turn black as soon as he stopped. "That's much better.".
"The spell will stop you from using any spells. At least until the effects of this spell. As soon as the characters notice you using spiritual strength or spell, they'll activate and stop you every time until my spell's effect lasts."
"Looking at your spirit power, I don't think my spell would last more than a couple of days. But that's enough time for me to get my answers and to kill you. So wake up and answer." Zhang waited for Lilith to wake up, sitting idle on the chair.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Lancaster reached near the Royal Castle, where most of the Royal Bloodline wolves lived, including the King himself. There were many Werewolves surrounding the castle, protecting it. No stranger was allowed to enter the castle without explicit permission from inside.
The security of the castle was so intense that there didn't appear to be any weak spot in the security that could be used to sneak inside the castle.
"This place... Why does it appear like a fortress? It seems impossible to get inside the castle without being seen."
From a distance, Lancaster observed the entire castle surroundings, occasionally moving to get a better view.
"This place is even harder to infiltrate than Carlisle's castle. That castle only had a couple of people guarding the main entrance, but this one... There are over fifty Werewolves guarding each spot.
"If there's no other way, I'll just have to-"
Lancaster stopped in the middle of his thoughts as he heard rushing footsteps behind him.
"Am I already discovered?"
He turned around, noticing two Werewolves running in his direction. Fortunately, they didn't stop before him.
Instead, they completely ignored Lancaster as they continued dashing to the castle.
"Why would they be in such a hurry if not for me? Unless... Yovana failed? Oh God no!"
Just as he expected, the two Werewolves stopped before the other Guards and told them about the appearance of a Vampire with a powerful aura near the city boundary.
One of the Guards went inside the castle instantly.
He went straight to the Throne room to locate the King, but the place appeared to be empty. The guard next dashed to the Room of the King.
Generally, he wouldn't have disturbed the King when he was resting, but it was too important just now.
The guard reached the King's room and knocked on it repeatedly after confirming that the King was indeed inside.
Before long, the door opened.
"What?" Razil asked, standing before the door.
"My Lord, we have some information. A Vampire has been sensed near the city boundary, getting closer. And from the aura, it appears to be a Second Generation Vampire or stronger."
"Second Generation? Blood Council?" The King frowned. "Why would they be here suddenly?"
"Your Majesty, what are our orders? Should we capture the Vampire?"
"No need to capture him. Just ask him his purpose. If he doesn't answer right away, kill him. No need to capture."
