A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

"I was so, so obsessed over them that I did everything to keep them alive and hidden but a few months ago, they somehow managed to flee and later found dead in the old tunnel connecting the lab and central library"

"Do you know about it?"

Vladella again nodded her head.

"I know, I should have told you, but I had too much going on. I had to priorities my freedom above all"

Trev and Resen scoffed. It wasn't anything new or shocking to them.

"All this while, it was Kepler who was helping you out. Isn't it" Resen said as a matter of fact?

Vladella gave a smile to Kepler. "Of course. Among us, he is the one I trust with my life. I couldn't take the risk after Brian was ready to betray me. It was good, Kepler told me about Brain. The peace summit, it was his best chance to be alone with Arthur and tell him, somehow Kepler managed to compel Brian to stall."

Trev asked, "What did you actually do Kepler?"

"Nothing much, I did what I hated the most. I pretended to hate Vladella and told him that my conscience is eating me. I want to spill the truth. He was shocked and didn't believe me. You know how suspicious Brian can be"

"He was a pain in an ass"

"He was turning blind in his daughter's love. He told me he didn't want any harm to come to his daughter, but I couldn't lie to him. There was a risk to their life. I could only save one of them and I chose Camy. She was healthier than Ciel, she had better chances to survive"contemporary romance

"That cuck wanted to backstab us. Playing all holy when his own hands were stained with blood"

"Easy Trev" Rubin consoled him.

"Well, that's how I deal with betrayers" Vladella spoke with all seriousness. It was an indirect warning to them, to never betray her or be prepared for the consequences.

"What about Vampire Vladella"

"Coming to it, Resen"

"I had a friend in little friend in Soyle who was in possession of blood of original vampire from history"

"What do you mean?"

"King of Soyle, Sien Clifford, managed to get his hands on them and offered me a deal which I readily accepted. And this time, all the credit goes to Mr. Trev"

"I know a thank you won't suffice but for the time being, it the only thing I can gift you, partner"

Trev blushed. No matter how party enthusiast he was, he always behaved like a teen whenever he was complimented.

"Aaah…It…It was nothing much" he said shyly.

"Yea, it wasn't nothing much" Kepler pouted.

"Kepler" Vladella warned him.

"Wow Vladella, you are amazing. You had such connections when you were being imprisoned. I wonder what mayhem you would have brought upon this land if you were free" Resen once again cracked up.

"Why did you remain imprisoned till so long Vladella. With your might and intelligence, you could have fled. Killed Thomas a long time ago After all he was the one who checked us upon, all in line. He solely brought up that boy, Arthur, and now looks how fine he became. To the point, he became immeasurable" Kepler sighed.

"I had to. I had my reasons, besides for our plan to set in motion, all I needed was time. A lot of time, and now finally we have reached the climax of our plan"

"What do you mean? You could have done it all ages ago and even if you had to wait, you could still leave the Reinstle and come back later. It was something that always bothered me and Brian" Resen again asked one of his suspicious questions.

"Stop doubting her Resen"

"Well, I am being careful here Kepler"

Ha!

"After Gwen was killed, I thought I would be able to make up with Elric, but it failed. I was sad but it was okay, at least he didn't discover my secret. But later I got to know that he did manage to sneak in my secret. He knew everything about me, my feelings for him, my family before I killed her, but he didn't suspect me to assassinate Gwen. He investigated in private and 5 years later he finally found proof. He confronted me, told me he had proof, threatened me but I had everything in control at that time. I was the core of the council, his subject was under me, he was just an empty king without any real power. I told him that I had no interest in any of it, the only thing I was ever interested in was him. However, he didn't believe me. Since he had nothing with him except his powers, he bound me to this land"

"He told me he wasn't killing me for the sake of our friendship but it was all a lie. He just wanted me to suffer, he knew about my plan all along. He knew about Taylors. He couldn't let me do it, so he bind me. I tried running, hiding, and everything I could, but that damn 5-year-old boy, too intelligent for his own misfortune, found the proof. With Thomas, he put me inside the dungeons, in a particular cell, that was spelled by Elric"

Vladella was pissed off. No one, not even Kepler knew about it. It came as a shock for everyone.

"This was all I could do, wait for my perfect time, and here it is" She quickly checked her emotions.

"Let's not live-in past"

"Yes, you are right"

"Oh! About those prisoners, you don't need to worry. It was Vladis and Rune, who killed them."

"Crapy half-turned vampires."

Ugh…

"Well, so here is the plan. Next full moon, we attack Reinstle, Soyle will help us to attack from outside while you lose from inside. You all are respectable council members that have high power and influence, make yourself useful and then we all will get what we wanted for so long"

"Power"

"Yes. A power that will help us to rule over Vampires, witches and humans"

"Equivalent to god"

"Immortality"

"So fascinating"

"I know right," Vladella grinned.

The little get-together soon came to an end while they all prepared for a battle.
