[ Zhou Empire… ]

Kira's mind was wandering off somewhere. He was spacing out while guarding Marceline outside her office. He was still troubled by the incident that transpired last night.

'Did she turn into a wolf? She's showing some traits similar to a werewolf. Her strength… her speed and her eyes… the way she talked about mates and bonds!'

This was Kira's mind process while staring at Marceline who was busy talking to her client. They went out today to meet a VIP client in one of the famous restaurants in the Golden City, the Jungle-Bar Restaurant.

Even Aunt Brianna noticed that Kira was bothered by something. She was sitting next to Marceline, checking Kira from time to time.

She wondered if something happened last night. Marceline complained to her that she had a body ache this morning. She even asked Aunt Brianna to give her those special pills she personally made for her.

'Don't tell me Kira had seen Marceline in her–' Her thought was interrupted when Marceline had spoken.

"Aunt Brianna, can you please pay our bills. We are done here, just wrapping up some things."

Aunt Brianna just gave her a slight nod, smiling at her before she stood up to pay their bills. Marceline continued talking to her clients, finalizing the deal.

When Aunt Brianna came back, she tapped Kira's shoulder and whispered, "Is there something wrong, Kira?"

Her action snapped Kira out of his train of thoughts. "Huh?" He asked her, confused.

"I said, is there something bothering you? I can see that you are distracted. I just don't want you to lose your focus while doing your job." Aunt Brianna reminded him.

Kira apologized for that. But of course, he would make sure to keep Marceline safe. He was still her bodyguard.

After a while, Kira found the opportunity to ask Aunt Brianna about Marceline.

"Aunt Bri, you have been with Marceline for a very long time, am I right?"

Aunt Brianna looked at him with amusement before bobbing her head. "Yes, I have… ever since she was born. Why do you ask?"

"Hmm, I'm curious. Aunt Bri, have you noticed any changes on Marceline a few years after her parents were killed?" Kira was looking at her expectantly. "I mean… have you seen a very unusual thing that happened to her? Like… changing personalities or… form?"

Aunt Brianna fell silent for a moment, moving her gaze to Marceline. Not answering him directly, she just simply said, "Yes, when her mysterious illness is acting out."

"Did you see her form? What does she look like?"

Aunt Brianna smiled faintly as she answered him meaningfully, "Nothing changes… She is just as beautiful as herself."

Kira couldn't help but frown as Aunt Brianna's answer was very vague and general. He wanted to hear a specific answer. What form did she see?

Kira was about to ask her again when suddenly his phone rang. He couldn't delay answering this call as this was what he was waiting for in the past few days.

"Aunt Bri, if you may excuse me, I will have to answer this phone."

"Hmm, okay, go on."

Kira just maintained a little distance away from Marceline's table so that he could speak to the caller without disturbing them. He assumed that the one calling him was Serafino.

He was the one who gave this phone to him so that Serafino would be able to contact him. He kept the old phone even though Marceline bought him a new one.

"My Lord, it's me… Serafino. I hope you are doing well," Serafino greeted him politely as soon as the call got connected.

"Yes, I'm just fine. How about you? Do you have any updates regarding Raizel's whereabouts? Have you found him?"

"Forgive me, my Lord. I still haven't seen General Raizel. But there is important news you have to know…"

Kira felt a little bit disappointed after hearing his answer. He was so excited to see Raizel again. But he didn't know where to find him.

"Okay, go on. Tell me."

"My Lord, let me ask you first… are you the one who attacked the werewolf fighters in the Northleaf Timberland Forest last night?"

Kira was surprised as to why Serafino was aware of what happened in Northleaf.

"Yes, I am," he promptly admitted.

"I knew it! It's you, my Lord!" Serafino blurted out with his exhilarated voice.

"But how did you know that?" Kira asked him, puzzled.

"My Lord, the Triple W is searching for you. They killed a vampire, giving warning to everyone. They left a message telling the vampires to surrender the one who attacked the members of Triple W. After 72 hours, if you don't surrender… Triple W will start beheading the other vampires who are held captive by them."

The crease on Kira's forehead deepened upon hearing that. His eyes set ablaze as a raging fury surged up inside of him. They killed a vampire and they were planning to kill the others.

Kira had become too lenient by sparing the lives of those werewolves and not killing them on the spot. And now, the werewolves had the audacity to threaten them by killing numerous helpless vampires who didn't have the ability to fight back.

"My Lord…" Serafino suddenly became anxious as Kira became frighteningly quiet in the other line. Even though Kira was not uttering a word, he could feel that the Vampire King was furious as of this moment.

"W-What are you planning to do now, my Lord?" Though frightened, Serafino's curiosity didn't stop him from asking this question.

"Just leave this to me, Serafino. Focus on your task and find Raizel as soon as possible. I assure you… I will not let those vampires get killed by those mutts." There was a hint of promise in Kira's voice.

Serafino felt relieved after hearing this. He knew it! Their Vampire King would do anything to save every vampire. He never lost his faith in him, unlike the other vampires.. He believed that Kira would bring the glory back to the Vampire Clan. There was still hope!
