Seduce The Villainess (GL)

Chapter 207 Lady Of The Night (31)

(Outskirts Of New Atlantic City)

(Castle Eden- Training Ground)

"Again," Camilla's cold voice echoed through the field as she watched her human pet nock another arrow on the bowstring.

Mary took in a deep breath and then released the string from her fingertips. An arrow shot forward and penetrated the outer edge of a target thirty feet away.

"Again," her vampiric mistress said one more.

With more practised motions, Sophie reloaded the string and adjusted the bow slightly so that it was more towards the center.

She released the arrow and this time it landed a few inches closer to the center. The beautiful female vampire narrowed her eyes and glanced at the young woman.

Truthfully Camilla was a bit confused watching Mary handle the bow. She could not understand how Mary was so skilled at using the sword and yet...

She handled all other weapons like a complete novice.

The female vampire oversaw the rest of training and then dismissed her servant. Mary nodded politely at her and then headed for the library to study more vampire hunting techniques.

Camilla watched the young woman out of the corner of her crimson eyes as her back got further and further away.

She chewed her lips thoughtfully and then headed for the opposite direction.

At the current rate of growth, Mary would undoubtedly become a very powerful vampire hunter in the next five years.

She needed to break her mind and ensure her loyalty before that time came.

Camilla was not foolish enough to assume that she would win against a fully awaken Sun-born.

She had the confidence that she would at least be able to flee but there was a small part of her that found that notion ridiculous.

No... she had to make Mary hers... one way or the other.

Camilla rubbed her fingers together as a plan slowly formed in her mind. If she could not win over her heart... then why not her body?

If she made the human woman drown in pleasure, then surely her loyalty would increase over time as she realised that only her mistress could provide what her body craved.

It was a stroke of genius!

A sadistic smile flashed across the female vampire's face as she pictured what she wanted to do to her servant later tonight.

But there would be plenty of time for planning once she finished her tasks for the day.

Camilla shook her head to drive the lustful thoughts from her mind and continued to wander through the castle.

In many ways her ancient home felt both familiar and strange since her old clansmen had remodeled the castle over the years.

It felt both old fashioned and modern at the same time.

Camilla glanced at the electrical outlets in the wall for a moment before continuing to walk forward.

She still wasn't used to the technological advancements that had occurred while she was sleeping but she had to admit... they were a welcome distraction.

Mary had shown her how to access the 'internet' and Camilla had been pleasantly surprised to see that plays and stories could now be seen through the devices.

It was just a shame that the episodes were usually unfinished and only came out once per week.

The female vampire hummed softly to herself as she walked up a flight of stairs until she arrived at a wide-open space.

Dozens of ravens cawed out at her sudden arrival, but Camilla raised up her right hand and they all fell silent.

She snapped her fingers and four of the ravens hopped forward with each having a rolled-up letter attached to their legs.

Camilla gently untied the string and reached into her pocket to pull out a treat to reward the birds for their efforts.

She walked over to a nearby chair and sat down before opening the letters one by one. Camilla was not surprised to discover that the senders were the princes and princess.

Let's see...

Prince Antonio wanted her to visit him in his home for a welcoming feast. Camilla scoffed as she saw through the prince's flimsy trap.

Antonio was never a man known for subtlety.

But to be fair one did not earn the nickname of 'The Butcher Of Men' by being a quiet and contemplative individual.

Princess Esme simply wished her well and asked her if she needed any new servants or blood slaves.

And finally, Prince Samuel...

Camilla's eyebrows slowly furrowed as she read the contents of his letter. Prince Samuel unlike the others wanted to visit her in her castle at the earliest opportunity.

It was a move that made little sense.

All of the princes knew that she was a blood witch, and her castle was heavily warded with numerous protection runes.

Prince Samuel would be completely vulnerable to an attack if he entered her domain so why did he still insist?

Camilla's fingers tapped the side of the chair thoughtfully as she moved closer to a nearby desk and pulled out one of its drawers.

She saw a stack of yellowish parchment papers and an ink bottle along with a quill. Camilla took out a sheet of paper and began to pen out a reply.

She did not know what Samuel hoped to accomplish but perhaps she could make things a bit more interesting.

Why not invite all of the upper rank clans and ancient vampire families to an evening ball at her castle?

Camilla laughed darkly as she imagined the look on the faces of the ancient clans who probably assumed that she was dead.

Her influence was enough that the upper ranked clans would be forced to send a representative to attend her gathering and it was a good opportunity to formally announce her return.

Of course, there would be much work to be done. Mary would be unable to clean up and set up the banquet hall all by herself.

Hmm... was it time to get new servants?

Camilla felt a small trace of reluctance in her heart as if her home was a private retreat for herself and her human servant.

No... she was being ridiculous.

It was this kind of thinking that was making her soft-hearted. She should have broken that human woman already!

Then her mind would not be filled with all these useless thoughts!

The beautiful female vampire's face flashed with an expression of determination as she walked towards a nearby window and opened it slowly.

She jumped outside without hesitation and her body shifted and morphed into that of an enormous bat-like creature with a wingspan of over seven feet.

Camilla flapped her newly formed wings powerfully and flew towards New Atlantic City as fast as her wings could carry her.

It was time to rebuild her clan.
