The Accidental Vampire

The Blood Lords were discussing on how to tackle Vor, going into the specifics as to where would be the perfect place for the battle and how they were going to lure Vor to that place, and the role that the Witches were going to play in the entire thing.

Fighting Vor wasn't an easy task, but they also believed that it wasn't impossible to defeat him since he had been defeated before already. They just had to repeat that.

Amidst the discussions, the door was abruptly forced open, making all the Blood Lords turn simultaneously.

They all looked at the person who had just barged inside.

"What are you doing?!" Ramiun stood up, angry. The person who had just barged inside was one of his men. " Don't you know you aren't allowed to disturb us?"

"My Lord, it's urgent! The city is under attack!"

"Under attack? Who is it?"

"It's Vor. He entered the city from the southern entrance and he is killing all our men. He is advancing toward this place as well!" The man informed Ramiun.

All the other Blood Lords also stood up, hearing the information.

"How did he know we were all here?" The old man stood up.

"Is it really not clear even now? I told you that Ramiun had a hand in it! He had Vor be free, and then he used Vor to take out his enemies! He wanted to attack the Kingdom of Wolves, and next thing we know, the Kingdom is destroyed. Next, he wants to kill us so he is the only Blood Lord left! This guy... He lured us all here?"

The Blood Lord that had been suspicious about Ramiun raised his Sword, pointing at Ramiun. "Why did you betray us as well?!"

It couldn't be a coincidence that Vor arrived here right after they did. For them, it was as if Vor knew that they were going to be here. The only way for him to know was if it was all pre planned! It was highly likely that Ramiun called them here, just for this!

"Stop your acting! This is too much to be a coincidence!"

"I told you I had no hand in it! You think Vor would listen to me? If I wanted to work with him, that guy would kill me first! I don't know how he knew we were going to be here. It's also quite possible that he didn't know, and it's actually a coincidence that he is here."

This time, Ramiun told the truth since he actually didn't know. Unfortunately, no one was going to listen to his truth in such a tense situation.

Ramiun could believe it was a coincidence since he knew he hadn't planned this, but it was different for the others. They couldn't read Ramiun's mind to know if it was planned or not. However, all things pointed toward it being a trap for them.

No matter what he said, everyone still looked at Ramiun with suspicions. Before, not many believed that he had a hand in it, even when one of them insisted on it, but now even they were starting to doubt him.

"Ramiun, I'm afraid I'll have to remove you from the duty we just assigned you. Instead, if you want to prove that you're innocent, you'll have to fight Vor. You'll be the first person to attack or even block him. You'll need to prove that you're not working with him..." The old man declared.

He couldn't know if Ramiun was telling the truth or lying, but it definitely was suspicious. He couldn't take the risk at the moment. They couldn't afford to be backstabbed when they were busy fighting Vor. That's why they needed to ensure that Ramiun was innocent.

"If Vor actually has Atlan hostage, then Rin will be on the duty to save him. You'll be fighting with us... Even leading the battle at the beginning. I'm sure you won't have any problem with it, right? Since it's your domain, so it's your duty to protect it first."

Ramiun's face twitched as he glared at the old man. He wanted to use these people to keep Vor distracted while he tried to free Atlan and he was so close to it before Vor arrived here. Now instead of distracting Vor for him, these people were using him to fight Vor? He wanted to curse them out loud, but he couldn't.

He knew he couldn't defeat Vor, especially after seeing how strong Vor was now. That guy single handedly destroyed the Werewolves. At best, he believed he could only hold back Vor for a little, but other than that, there was nothing more.

"Does he have another person with him?" he asked his General. "Did you see him dragging Progenitor Atlan?"

"There were no signs of Progenitors Atlan. Vor is all alone." The General shook his head.

"As expected... He didn't bring Atlan with him. He probably hid him somewhere. It seems we'll have to get some answers from him.'

Ramiun clenched his fist. "Fine. I'll fight Vor. I'll prove that I'm not working with Vor."

Ramiun decided to fight with Vor, but not to fight to death. It was just to prove that he didn't work with him. After that, he could get the others to join in on the battle as he took a backseat, acting as if he was hurt. With that, he could sneak out and go look for Atlan.

He was sure that Vor wouldn't leave Atlan too far. That held the risk of someone freeing Atlan. At best, he believed that Vor left Atlan outside the city. That's the place he needed to check.

"If you want me to prove my loyalty after all I did for the Blood Council, then so be it!"

Ramiun left the hall, ready to fight. The others also followed behind. In case he was actually innocent, they decided to provide him with support that he needed, but if he was lying, they had decided to retreat for now to plan further.
