The Accidental Vampire

Atlas was also uncertain about what he had to do. What he wanted to do and what he needed to do were the two things he was confused between. In the end, he decided to listen to Lilith since she really wanted to go to that village.

Moreover, on the way, they could also decide on the plan as well. In any case, before he did anything, he wanted to bring Misella to a safe place. Even if he had to fight, he didn’t want Misella to be involved. She was still new and didn’t know much about fighting after all. Having her fight was very dangerous for her even if she was a Progenitor.

Vor ultimately agreed as this was Lilith’s plan. If it was Atlas’ plan, he would’ve questioned it since Atlas didn’t have his old memories or an understanding about how dangerous these people actually were.

On the contrary, he had seen everything first hand. Fortunately, Lilith was the one who came up with this plan and Lilith still had all her memories, so there was no way she could make a plan that could be worse for them.

“So what will the plan be after we get to the Village?” As the carriage started moving, Vor asked Lilith.

“We’ll be regrouping there with the others. I’ll send a signal to the other Progenitors to call them there as well. Instead of fighting while fragmented like last time, we will be fighting together this time. This will be the biggest change this time compared to last time when we fought separately.”

“Moreover, all the Werewolves from the Kingdom are dead, so that’s also good for us since they can’t side with the Empire this time. That only leaves the humans and the Witches,” she further explained.

“The humans are only useless in this battle. As for the Witches, convincing them would be quite hard… Still, I’ll send a message to all Witch Clans. We’ll see how it goes.”

“I see. So instead of hiding, we’ll be preparing for an united assault on the enemies. That’s good, but still, can we trust the witches with our location? Those people can even sell their mothers for benefits. What’s stopping them from leaking our location in exchange for their safety?” Vor asked, raising a genuine question.

It wasn’t just the Werewolves who had sided with the Empire against them last time but some Witch Clans too.

“I’ve considered that as well. You think I’ll forget something like that?” Lilith rolled her eyes in response. “Stop underestimating me so much, Vor. You should know better.”

“Unlike the Progenitors, I’ve called all the Witch Clans for a meeting in a different place. We’ll be meeting them in a distant place, far away from our base. We will be fighting together, but we won’t be trusting them with this,” she further added. “This is a war in which we can’t trust anyone.”

“I see. That’s much better indeed. With better planning, we might have a chance this time.*

“The Prince,” Atlas chimed in out of nowhere. Ever since the beginning, he was only hearing their discussion, only to speak now.

“What?” Everyone looked at him.

“We need the Prince,” Atlas further stated. “We won’t have to fight a war if we take the Prince hostage.”

“Last time, they took the world hostage and forced the Progenitors to go to sleep. But this time, what if we use their own trick?” he suggested. “The young prince is leading this army and it’s his first time here. If we can capture him, we can take down the entire army without having to lose even a single person.”

“I see… Like the saying goes, take down the head of the snake and the snake goes down…” Lancaster agreed. The plan did look better. “After taking him hostage, we can make the Emperor promise that their Empire will never attack earth. That should solve this problem for quite some time since the Empire is said to take a promise seriously.”

“It’s much easier said than done,” Luna intervened, slightly surprised at how optimistic they were. “If you think taking down my brother is easier than taking down an army, it’s not true.”

“My brother isn’t that easy to defeat. Let alone defeat, he isn’t even easy to get to. He is always surrounded by multiple layers of protection. The strongest of our Warriors are in his protection.”

“In other words, if you think taking down a fleet is hard, reaching my brother is much harder than that, especially since we don’t even know where he’ll be. It’s an optimistic plan, but I doubt it can be pulled off.”

“As long as there’s a possibility, anything can be pulled off,” Atlas answered. “He might be surrounded by a fleet or by your guards, but so what? In any case, we’ll need to fight those guards sooner or later. So instead of waiting for the war to come to us, why not take the war to them?”

“If we can’t take the war to their World, we can at least take it to their Royalty. Moreover, they have just arrived. They’ll be expecting us to hide and run. And what better time to attack them than when they can’t sense my aura?” he asked.

Previously he was wondering if he could just sit back and watch everything, but as a plan came to his mind, he decided that he couldn’t sit back. Even though he only had a week or so in this world, he wanted to use it for the better.

He had an advantage that Castiel wasn’t going to have if he returned! His aura couldn’t be sensed because he wasn’t Castiel despite being him. With this advantage, he had a much easier time getting closer to the Young Prince without alerting everyone.

Unfortunately, it also meant that he couldn’t spend time with the others in peace as he had hoped, but so what if he couldn’t get peace in his last moments? What he couldn’t get, he was going to give others even in his last breath. He was going to take the Prince hostage.

“But-” Lilith spoke, only to have Atlas cut her sentence.
