The Witch and the Vampire Prince

26 — First Meeting

As the Campbell twins planned. The two boys, less than two hundred years old, preceded the steps of four vampire bodyguards, slipped among the trees, clenched their noses and mouths, and tried to disguise the scent of race.

Thank Louis for teaching Elyssa and Calista to avoid the old tormentors who were always looking for them to vent their anger. They still wrestle with this magic that is growing, plus King Drake provides martial facilities to protect themselves from the threat of other vampire families.

The four bodyguards of King Drake melengos left the point the twins were hiding. In terms of camouflage, Calista is better at uniting with nature. As if he was wearing a kamo uniform and outwitting opponents at any time.

The journey is still very far, it cannot be counted. They just rely on instinct and feeling. Even if they later met the werewolf Bringas and did not survive, they just assume his brother was also killed in a similar way.

Although only a child of concubines, their head capacity is wider and accommodates many stories. They know the intricacies of vampire history that have been covered fifty years ago. And now, Elyssa and Calista looked at the clingy om-om that put a lot of gem-pictured cards, rows of crystal tarot cards on the table.

"I guess you're looking for something" guessed the fortune teller as he pulled the card and opened it. Shows a picture of an old witch carrying a lantern, The Hermit.

Calista and Elyssa looked at each other. "We haven't chosen a card yet" Elyssa replied, though she still gave five silver coins to pay for fortune-telling and turned her back. Study each side of the morning market with the glare of sharp vampire eyes. Pull the robe to further cover his head.

"Wait!" exclaimed the fortune teller as the two children were about to step away. "More or less?" guess Calista glanced at the price board next to the table, the price was right five silver.

"No. I know where you're looking." The words of the fortune teller managed to make Elyssa laugh lightly. It's clearly a scam. Calista's hand was immediately pulled away from the fortune teller's table. Just a mode of trickery to kidnap small children.

But the second time their steps had to come to a halt when the fortune teller came in the way. The cloak worn is pulled and makes it clear how the 'fraud' is formed. Still look young—which they think already aki-aki. His golden yellow iris lit up, as Elyssa realized she was a werewolf.

Elyssa slowly retreats and tries to block the werewolf's view of her twin sister. As if to know want to run away, the wolf so-called events increasingly close themselves. In this market, werewolves dominated.

"A pervert!" elyssa shouted successfully attracted the attention of market visitors. The two vampires rushed away, followed by a werewolf who did not want to remove their prey. There were not many people who helped Elyssa and Calista, instead they just kept watching because most of them were a wolf race.

Vampires are unmatched. But what can young vampires like them do?

On the edge of the village, the two were cornered and captured. Help another werewolf come, dragging the two young vampires into the forest. Luckily Elyssa and Calista were not seriously injured during the chase. The two Campbells were herded deeper, into a werewolf village behind a grove of trees.

"We are not here to attack werewolves" Calista said as he was placed in the village square. No one is hugging. They let the two vampires sit on their knees, being made into a spectacle object while waiting for the werewolf leader.

From the back of the crowd, a tall man walked snaking amongst the dozens of wolf race citizens. A yellow spotlight flashed down each curve of the faces of the two young vampires. His steps docked, lowering the view to observe more closely. Smile expands, then it turns on its citizens.

"I know these two vampires. There is a familiar smell. Please disperse." Although some are less sure, curious, or anxious, they slowly disperse and re-drown in daily activities.

"Thank you for your help. But we don't need your fake kindness" Elyssa said after they split. The man glanced, then laughed crisply.

Not having much hope, the two young vampires resigned. Will they be taken to the shackle room and tortured to the point of the final blood? They knew the race in front of him hated vampires. Especially in the case of how many years ago, the slaughter of werewolves. It was clearly their chance to retaliate.

"Don't tense up so. I know where Louis is" continued the man who continues to guide his bodyguards to bring Elyssa and Calista close.

Hearing Louis' name, the two were shocked. Evidently. Uncle Gill was very familiar with Louis. The scent of these two vampires was the smell of Louis. Although not concentrated, but the blood of King Drake flowed under their skin. The same scent that Louis had.

Uncle Gill took the two to Cayenne's house in the middle of the forest. Today the teenage werewolf is on holiday for a break. Very precise timing. Plus thanks to the hobby of fortune-telling Ocean, the young man managed to find Louis' relationship. Even so, Uncle Gill started to get anxious. Vampires who had a blood relationship with Louis came here to look for him. If it's not important, what else?

Their steps stopped on the path, a few more footings they reached the outer wall of Merlin's shield. Uncle Gill immediately walked in, leaving the vampires and werewolves there for a while to meet Merlin. Before long, the shield weakened and could be entered by the rest.

Inside the courtyard of the house, Merlin greeted them kindly. Behind him was a Louve carrying a tray of warm cookies. On the grass beside the house was a long cloth, where they were having a small picnic to celebrate a week of practice.

Knowing that the royal side was coming, twenty special forces Louis immediately saluted. As well as the werewolves who were originally holding Calista and Elyssa, they immediately removed the grip on the arms of the two vampires. Leaving a pretty visible mark.

"Good morning, Miss Campbell," they said. The two children nodded small with a smile.

"Where's my brother?" ask Calista to the point. There wasn't much time left to take Louis back to the castle and calm Alice down.

From inside the house, Louis came out wearing a regular shirt and trousers. There is no authority. Not wearing a princely uniform or a suit full of rank, not a fancy dress. Just a super simple regular suit.

There was no look of surprise on Louis's face, instead, his two younger siblings were confused by Louis in front of him.

Another small step followed from the direction Louis had walked before. Phyllis came out while carrying two young coconuts that had been peeled and ready to eat. Louve rushes over and helps Phyllis to take her.

In a moment, a foreign yet gentle fragrance burst forth from within Phyllis' robe. The scent danced around the air around Calista and Elyssa as Phyllis braced herself with them. Calista's sharp netra crept into Phyllis' neck covered in her chocolate mane. It's invisible, but he can guess.

Louis had marked Phyllis, and the witch girl in front of this was his half-brother's wife. Phyllis is a sister-in-law.

"He's Phyllis Cayenne. I don't need to explain it at length because your brains are watered down. I just want to confirm, Phyllis is my wife" Louis explained as he stroked Phyllis' head gently.

There was no more response than both eyes rounded in shock. Elyssa and Calista, though still in shock, are both forced into a family mini-picquet. At the same time this event intends to question the wedding of Louve and Merlin.
