Join the ServerThe car stopped. Kelo pushed open the door and waved to us.
“Let’s go.”
“Yeah.”
I stood up, about to follow the Young Master out of the car, when He Yizi behind me suddenly spoke.
“I can’t go into the capital with you all. Chuye probably can’t either.”
I was a bit confused. I turned to look at the Young Master. She seemed to have just remembered something.
“That’s right… there are holy light towers all around… we probably can’t get in. This is different from the last family banquet… What do we do?”
Suddenly, a voice spoke in my mind: “Chuye has to go. You need to ask that king why he gave you this cross. This definitely isn’t that simple. I’ll take you later. Wait until the Young Master and the others leave first.”
It was Ashiya. She seemed to have some way, but by the sound of it, it wasn’t a method that could be used in front of the others…
“Then I’ll stay here with He Yizi and wait for you to come back. Will you be back before dawn?”
“Of course! I still have to take you to formal classes! Hmm… this place probably doesn’t have any bad people either. We’re already inside the high walls of the capital… So you two rest here. There’s still ‘food’ under my seat. We’ll go first, bye~”
“Good night, Chuye” Xiao Linlin smiled at me.
After that was settled, they got off the car. Seriously, why hadn’t we thought of this on the way here?
I leaned against the window, let out a breath, and opened it to look outside. There was a huge lake out there. It wasn’t as big as the one I’d seen on the way back after being taken last time, but it was still quite magnificent. For now, all I could do was wait for Ashiya’s plan. Speaking of which… that king couldn’t have found me out because of the steak I ate at the family banquet, right? No way…
He Yizi beside me noticed me looking outside.
“This lake is the holy lake of the capital. The current king had it dug by hand over twelve years. When it was just finished, I was right here.”
“Didn’t you say we couldn’t get in?”
She suddenly looked at me with disdain.
“Your history is terrible! About twenty years ago, we noble blood kin once fought our way into the capital, you know!” She held her head high and said proudly.
“Eh!”
Then she suddenly deflated.
“But in the end, we were hunted down and wiped out… but in history, that clan actually did it! Hmph!”
“Mm…”
I kept looking at the mirror-like lake, lost in thought.
“Time to go. It’s a stretch right now, but I’ll take control of your body. Not the full control from before. I’ll give you some room. Also, my magic hasn’t recovered much, unlike that fool Xun…”
“Mm…”
I closed my eyes…
“Ready… three… two… one!”
When I opened my eyes again, He Yizi beside me was staring at me in shock, then she leaned toward me.
“Your hair?”
“My hair?”
Only then did I notice that my hair had turned black. This… how was I supposed to explain it?
“No need to explain. Hurry out. I’ll take you to the king.”
Ashiya’s voice sounded as if it were right in my ear, clearer than anything she had said before.
I let out a breath and still put on the glasses that were on the table.
“Um… I need to step out for a bit. I’ll be back soon.”
“You… your aura has changed. You no longer seem like a vampire… nor like a human… This…”
Just then, Ashiya urged me again: “Hurry. This spell uses little magic, but we can’t waste it.”
“I’ll explain everything when I get back. I have to go now.”
I pushed open the door. I felt that her expression wasn’t so much surprise as it was like she had suspected this all along, and the sudden change in color just startled her.
“O…kay…”
‘How exactly was Ashiya going to take me to that room…’
