The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 128 128: Inviting Trouble

"Elisi wanted to know what I'm planning, didn't she? Don't worry. I'll make sure she knows. In fact, she'll be the idiotic pawn who shall help me without realizing."

"Lady Elisi? You will use her? I don't think she will fall that easily. She is very perceptive in such things," The young woman answered.

"Yeah, she is perceptive. A little too perceptive for her own good." The young man smiled. "Bring me a piece of paper and a pen."

The lady behind him left. Within a few seconds, she returned with a paper and a pen, placing both on the table before the man.

After placing the items on the table, she stepped back once again. This time, she didn't move back too far as she wanted to see what Ramiun was going to write.

Ramiun picked up the pen and straightened up the paper before he started writing something.

He took his sweet time writing, spending over twenty minutes before he filled the entire page. It was as if there was a deep thought behind each of his words that he wrote on the paper.

"This... This can get really bad if she doesn't fall for it. You know, right? If she goes to the Blood Council with this letter..." The young woman in the back didn't entirely appreciate what was written on the paper since it was too risky.

"She won't go to the Blood Council with this letter. I know that bi*ch all too well." The man placed the pen down before picking up the letter.

He once again went through the letter before folding it.

He gave the folded letter to the woman in the back. "Go and deliver this letter to Elisi personally."

"If that's what you want."

The lady left in the silence of the night, leaving Ramiun behind.

Ramiun stood up, walking to the windows. He gazed at the distant moon. It was still some time before the full moon.

"Come on, Elisi. Fall for it and do my bidding. You know you want to..."

Atlas' carriage entered the town, not stopping along the way. It was also about to leave the Town when Lilith sensed something.

"Just our luck." Lilith frowned, sending the aura of witches. Through the windows, she looked outside, noticing three people about to enter the city on horses.

"Stop the carriage." She instructed the carriage driver.

"What happened?"

"People from the Franc Clan are about to enter this town. If we continue, they will know that we're going to their clan.

" We are already at the border of the town. Won't they already know?" Yovana also glanced out.

"They won't. We will leave later. For now, we need to stop right here. There is a hotel just ahead. We can pretend to come this far for a deal. If anyone asks, we are merchants and here to establish a business relationship with this town. Just wait for those mages to pass. You two stay inside. I'll put up a show."

Lilith stepped out of the carriage just as the horses were a few meters away from them. She entered the hotel right before their eyes.

Surprisingly, the horses also stopped right beside the carriage, seemingly curious.

However, just as they were about to check, Lilith returned. Right before their eyes, she opened the door of the carriage. "We got a room here. For now, we can stay here. As soon as it's morning, we can talk to the Town Head regarding our business proposal."

"If we can get a trade deal with this town, we should be able to get some profit."

"Hopefully, the Town Elder won't reject us. We came all this way, only to meet him. If he rejects, it'll all be over nothing." Yovana played along, stepping out. "For now, I suppose we can rest. Tomorrow should be a good day."

Lancaster also stepped out with Atlas, who wore a cloak to hide his pale skin.

Lilith escorted them all inside the hotel, right before the eyes of the three Franc Clan Members. Just as she had expected, those there couldn't sense that she was a witch or that Atlas was a Vampire. They couldn't even detect the reality of Lancaster.

"Merchants, huh." The three of them didn't bother interrogation and believed the story.

"I suppose it's good if Merchant Companies are coming to this town. It should be for the better," the man muttered, smiling. "Maybe the town will finally have more items to buy."

"Aren't we here to meet the Town Head as well. Why don't we ask them to tag along? They won't have to wait for tomorrow. And with us, the old man might agree more swiftly as well. It can be good," one of the women responded.

"Yeah, that isn't a bad idea actually. This way, the old man won't have to be disturbed tomorrow. It'll save everyone's time." The second woman also agreed. "What do you say?"

"I don't mind. I'll ask them to come with us." The young man got off his horse and walked inside the hotel where Lilith had taken everyone.

Lilith paid for four rooms just for show. She got four rooms and was about to go up to wait for a few hours before leaving, but she stopped, noticing the young Wizard entering the hotel as well.

"Why the hell is he following us? Does he know something?" Yovana frowned. "I think we might need to kill him."

"Yovana, please stop talking. It doesn't look like he's coming to us for fight. Let's keep up the act." Lilith tapped Yovana's shoulders as she walked to the stairs, pretending to not see the young Wizard.

"Excuse me!" Unfortunately, before they could leave, the young man called them from behind.

"Hmm?" Lilith stopped and turned around. "Are you talking from us?"

"Yeah." The man stopped before Lilith.

"Do you need something from us?"

"It's not that. I just heard your conversation outside about your reason for being here. Our group is already going to meet the Town Head for something important. I thought since you need to meet him as well, you can tag along with us. This should save everyone's time."

"This... I don't think it's right for us to meet the Town Head this late. We can meet him tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, he won't be here. He should be in our clan tomorrow. That's why we came here. So if you want to meet him, tonight might be your last chance. Don't worry; it's not odd to meet him at this time. He sleeps late after all."

"Come, don't think. I think your purpose in coming here is wise, so we decided to help you a bit."

Lilith didn't know how things turned out this way. All they needed was an excuse to make things less suspicious, but instead, things became worse.
