Silas's voice was hollow. "There has to be a way.""I'll find a way. I have to find her. We need to bring her home."The Vampire King let out a cold snort, his tone carrying an unmistakable warning:"Put away that bargain-bin guilt, Silas.""Your parents died because the Holy Order located their laboratory. It was a security failure that led to the tragedy.""This time, until the research is complete, no outsider will find them. That is for the researchers' protection-and for Alice's."Silas repeated the words like a man who'd lost his soul: "I'll find a way."The King's patience finally ran out. His eyes glinted with lethal intent:"Listen carefully. If you dare conduct any public search for Alice, you'll draw the attention of every enemy with their sights on the holy relic research.""Don't forget how your parents died. If you truly have even a shred of care left for her? go home, and respect her choice."Silas's pupils trembled violently.The midnight blizzard had turned the vast ex

A hundred years later, I finally walked out of the Progenitor Laboratory.The research on resistance to crucifix burns and holy water toxicity had been a resounding success. The drug that freed ordinary vampires from the threat of the Church's silver weapons was approved for widespread distribution at a minimal cost.I stood alongside Caspian and the other researchers at the press conference. The Vampire King himself pinned the Progenitor Medal of Supreme Honor to my chest, granting me a position of the highest esteem.In the audience below, countless vampire families who had suffered under holy water shed tears of gratitude and thanked me. The event fell on the Full Moon Festival-and the anniversary of our parents' sacrifice for this very research.Time had, it seemed, rewritten the ending of their story.I suddenly recalled a moment from many years ago, when my mother held me gently and said:"If we could just work a little faster, the commoners who can't afford expensive protective

I returned to North City to visit the Vampire King. The aloof monarch sat on his throne and calmly told me what those two men had done to themselves over the past century.Julian had been rushed to the Elder Council's emergency ward dozens of times for severe dehydration and refusal to feed. Silas, to punish himself for his arrogance, had volunteered as an experimental subject at the research base, spending countless sleepless nights applying holy water to his own wounds.As for Elena-the enraged brothers had stripped her of everything and cast her into the filthiest slum a hundred years ago. Accustomed to luxury, she'd gotten caught up in a vampire territory riot. Her legs were crushed in the chaos, and without medication, the wounds had festered. Brain damage followed. No one knew or cared where she'd ended up-probably curled in some dark corner, barely clinging to life.I listened to all of this and felt nothing.The Vampire King sighed. "They know they were wrong. Every single day

I rushed to the hospital.Silas lay in the bed, the once-mighty vampire lord reduced to little more than a skeleton. For a hundred years, he had been driving himself toward death.Julian sat in the shadows on the opposite side of the bed, face buried in his hands, weeping.I walked to the bedside and looked at Silas, his body threaded with tubes. He could no longer speak through his vocal cords, but his eyes were locked on me, his lips moving ceaselessly. He was calling my name."Alice? Alice?"Through the haze, I saw the blizzard again-and a Silas not yet twenty years old, holding me tight, promising me a home.Decades of memories, seen from the other side, felt like one long, absurd dream.His gaze began to drift. When he tried to reach for my fingertips, it took the last of his strength.I reached out and gently clasped that cold, withered hand.I said softly, "When you get to the other side, make yourself a bowl of warm soup. Stop tormenting yourself."A single blood-red tear slid
