Chapter 36
The pack meeting ended a while ago. Aesthelia was the last person who went out, as she insisted on helping with cleaning and other stuff. She'd done that, so she could've had more time with Marie as Aesthelia told her everything that happened.
Since the vampires have been leaving signs that they appear in certain parts of the outside, Aesthelia came up with a conclusion, that they were trying to lure the werewolves outside again and were ambushed just like they did.
So, Aesthelia suggested that they should also be traced to some places. They bait the vampires as they hide like shadows. Aesthelia wasn't sure if that would work, but they had got to trust something.
They won't be able to take a step forward if they let doubt get in their way.
"Well done, my lady."
"You did great," Marie praised Aesthelia, which gave a hint of blush to Aesthelia's cheek.
"I just stood there and strategized," Aesthelia mumbled with a grin. It wa

Aesthelia frantically tried to search for the old woman's whereabouts. The old woman's disappearance confirmed that she was involved in witchcraft or so, but it wasn't important right now. evenif the old woman is a witch. Aesthelia didn't plan for execution. This story clearly said that witches and vampires have been conspiring to take over the world, but that sounded a little exaggerated to Aesthelia.It wasn't like the witches and vampires were good friends and allies. The empire made it look that way, so everyone has been hunting those who they thought were witches.Those who are naturally endowed with powers such as divine power are destined to be saints and saintesses in the cathedral, while those who possess powers through enchantment and summonings are hunted.Aesthelia wanted to ask for more answers to her questions. Why was she helping

The pack house was almost turned upside down when another issue was detected. It seems like the drought has come earlier than they expected. The high-ranking wolves are now allocating the remaining resources, and they have been discussing the best method to execute. The supplies have decreased, which has troubled them greatly. Gior and Aesthelia looked like each other. They agreed to keep their conversation last night secret. There was no doubt that Gior felt somewhat betrayed. He did not know what to do. Merideth is his childhood friend, and he promised Merideth's mom that he would protect his daughter. It has become more complicated. Both of them have not slept a wink since getting back into the pack house. Aesthelia planned to at least sleep the moment she got home. A human servant was ordered to bring Aesthelia into the pack house, and the same case with Gior. Aesthelia chuckled at Gior's growing eyebags, but even after h

The smell of cinnamon bread lingers in the air as it reaches Aesthelia's nostrils. When Aesthelia identified the bread, she almost immediately rose from the bed she was laying on.That was one of her favorites. So she sat up straight, even though she hadn't flitted her eyes open."Cinnamon... bread," Aesthelia said in a high-pitched tone, but her words trailed off.Aesthelia's heart almost dropped when she saw Gior sitting in front of her. Gior was comfortable sitting at the table located on the open balcony.Gior sipped his drink while looking at Aesthelia's path. I was wondering if this was her sleeping habit."Cute," Gior mumbled.Aesthelia immediately scanned herself. Aesthelia has been wondering why she is in bed right now when the last thing that she remembered was that they were on their way to the capital's market."What happened?" Aesthelia squinted her eyes at Gior's approach. Aesthelis didn't bother hiding

They were tip-toeing when a crowd of nobles appeared at the end of the hall. Gior quickly hugged Aesthelia's waist and jumped to hide."That was close," Aesthelia whispered.Aesthelia tried sneaking a peek at him, but the moment she did, she instantly regretted it because of how close they are.Aesthelia quickly diverted her eyes as she felt her cheeks, blushing a light pink. She just hopes that he won't notice it because it would be embarrassing for her."Good call," Aesthelia cleared her throat, wanting to compliment him on his quick reaction."I'm alerted since I'm with you. You're a trouble magnet. Have you forgotten that? " Gior said casually, and he added a smirk as Aesthelia's expression changed to a sour look.The both of them remained quiet as they waited for the nobles to pass by. The chattering and gossiping made Aesthelia itch, which she wasn't expecting from them. The novels are quite different in t

As some knights patrolled the area, Aesthelia hid among the bookshelves. She was confused because they hadn't encountered any knights earlier. The hallway was empty."What business do you have here?" Elliot, he said, with an authoritative voice.Elliot's eyes side-glance secretly to where Gior and Aesthelia are hiding right now.Gior stayed quiet beside Aesthelia. He is not moving an inch, so they will not make any noises, but if something happens that is out of their control, he will transform right away, even if it is forbidden to do so inside the empire. They don't know what trouble may come."We have just received an order from the crown prince," the knight said casually, as if it was an absolute order from above, to which even another prince couldn't object."The west wing isn't under his rule, isn't it?" Elliot whispered angrily. He does not like it, emphasizing the word "crown prince." The knight was either oblivious

After Aesthelia and Elliot's conversation, together with Gior, they secretly went out without anyone in the empire knowing, except for Elliot, who watched from afar. Aesthelia and Gior almost reached their destination. It's the place where the warriors and merchants stayed. The plan was to stay a day or two until the supplies were completed. The two finally arrived at the inn. It's a place where travelers and the like spend the night. It has rental rooms. The moment they opened the door into a huge connected room, the warriors, who looked worried, sighed after seeing the two, unharmed and together. "Where have you been?" The head merchant stated Asthelia's eyes roamed around, and she was greeted by their worried gazes. The two of them have gone for a couple of hours. Of course, that's enough time for those knights to overthink things. "An imperial subject interrupted us when we strolled down the market," Aesthelia said firm

After a moment of convincing and explaining things to Gior, though, Aesthelia wasn't sure if the information she knew was exactly what this world possessed. There are two types of magic stones. The first one would be the most common, the human-made magic stones. They're the stones that are blessed by the divine power for protection purposes. The priest and priestess were the ones who distributed them because they were the only ones who possessed and were gifted with divine powers, and the empire, of course, permitted the spread of the said divine-blessed magical stone. The Empire and the Cathedral have been working together for decades, since the first emperor founded the empire. The Cathedral has become its support. The second type of magic stone is rare. It was a natural-made magic stone. It happens when there's a natural mana tropical storm, when mana has been gathered in one place. The best way to contain it is with a stone. It's

The sound of water dripping from the water pipe outside seems to resound through the four corners of the store.Aesthelia silently sat as she had become unaware of her surroundings. The regret she has right now is that she should've finished the novel before sleeping. She ruffled her hair and sighed heavily."Stop," Gior mumbled as he reached out his hand to stop Aesthelia's doing. There was no point in doing that; it might only cause her a headache, and he's worried.The goblins were oblivious to the scheme the vampire involved them in. They did not want something like this to happen just because they wanted to live among humans. They do not know how they are going to make up for it."There's no time to waste. We have to get the supplies and travel back to the pack, "Aesthelia announced as she stood up abruptly, taking everyone by surprise."It's getting dark," Gior said."We must travel the moment the sun rises agai
