The remaining three vampires involved in Princess Mezzlenâs kidnappingâ¦@@novelbin@@
Among them, the man closest to being their leader quietly observed the academy church from the shadows.
â...She should be waking up about now.â
Having lost so much blood, her mind likely wouldnât be fully clear. This moment of confusion was the perfect opportunity to lure Princess Mezzlen out again.
There was likely only one more chance left.
No matter how insignificant and useless an illegitimate child she was, royalty was still royalty. And Seraphine was not the type to abandon her younger sister. If it were one of her older siblings, she might cast them aside without hesitation, but Antonio and Mezzlen served as her allies within the palace. She had absorbed enough power from below to enter the imperial succession race at such a young age, so even if Mezzlen had been foolishly captured, she couldnât be ignored.
âJeremy, that loudmouth, will keep them distracted, and Alon is trustworthy when it comes to acting discreetly. He should have already made contact with Mezzlen.â
And the maid, the bait to draw out the princess, was bound beside him, barely clinging to life.
It wouldnât have been difficult to end her life right then, but there was no need. If she didnât appear for the first bait, she would still be useful. Her wrists and ankles were only loosely bound, but resistance wasnât an optionâher thumbs and index fingers had already been cut off.
The severed fingers were being used as bait to lure out the princess, and if Mezzlen fell for it, this maid would lose her value as a hostage and soon be turned into a ghoul.
"...You... bastard..."
