Chapter 19: Mysterious dungeon

They were about to leave, but Margery got a call from the trustee members of the st. Mary's.

They asked her, "we all know that there is no need for us to question you.

But as the head of this trust, how will you explain the nasty rumors are spreading in the school."

Margery narrowing her eyes at the people standing in front of her, smiled dangerously and informed them,

"It's nothing some silly people informed you about this. The rumors are just rumors. There is no truth in that."

Looking at her smile, they knew when to stop; if not, they also knew what will happen later on. Margery is not only a strict headmistress but also notorious for her bluntness.

She never failed to astonish others with her blunt and straight forwards answers.

The other side person continued probing further in a threatening way, but it seems there is an issue with Adaline and your foster daughter. We believe there should be a meeting to clarify this.

Margery confidently replied, "there is no need for the meeting, don't forget I am the head of the st. Mary's trust still. By the way, get ready. We are going to arrange a small party soon."

Saying, so she disconnected the call and looking at them with hostile, I will look into this personally, dear professors, you can get back to your homes now, by the way, meet my husband".

All the professors were stunned with the introduction, especially the one who called the trustees earlier.

Margery took his hand into hers, saying, "this is Easton, my husband, Easton. These all are teaching staff of this school along with the campus".

Turning to them, she added, "he mostly works abroad and maintains a low profile; that's why I never introduced him; after all, everyone loves their privacy, right..?"

Saying, so she left the office room with others following her. On the way, they grabbed Carla. Easton hugged Carla, lifting her slightly up.

Kissing her on the temple, he further asked laughing, "hey princess, how was your day, did anybody dares to bully you" as loudly as possible so that all can hear.

Understanding his intentions and playing along with him, Carla said, "there is some issue going on in the campus, uncle. But don't worry, we can handle right, mamma..?" she looked at Margery.

Before Margery can answer, Adaline added, "what is the need of us taking care of this if your uncles are there" Margery nodded.

This interaction made shudder everyone who is listening, and they silently vowed not to interfere in this matter. Rome is already looking into this matter.

Easton took the three of them into a flashy black Maybach car while all are looking at the car with surprise evident in their eyes.

Easton drove them back to the house and called Rome about the information he found out.

Rome interestingly found more than he wanted to and happily left to the st. Mary's mansion.

Meanwhile, Jacob and Leon scratching their heads to find something about the pendant the former got in his investigation.

They stay in their pack's library for the past five hours and are still unable to find any simple clue about the locket with a red pendant.

They even contacted other pack's alphas for some information.

After some time, all of them informed him that they were unable to find even a piece of available information about the red pendant locket.

The other packs' alphas were also looking to this matter secretly because if it gets out, there may be some danger waiting for them.

With no other option left, Jacob discussed the same thing with his father, asking for his help.

After listening to his son's words, Jacob's father, William, decided to discuss the pendant with the king of vampires secretly.

After reaching the mansion, Carla went to her room to do her homework.

To aspire, becoming an architect requires a lot of hard work from an early stage.

At the same time, some are far from the geographical area seen in a map inside an island, and there is an old mansion of forbidden royal blood.

Inside the mansion, on the throne, a handsome man with anger evident in his eyes is seen sitting on his chair, looking at the magical visible barrier between him and some new power.

The royal mansion is off pure brown color with pointed edges on top of the palace, and every corner is screaming danger. At the center of the castle, there stood the emblem of the eagle proudly.

The entire mansion is under bodyguards protection, who are highly alert on their senses. The palace looked like a forbidden place for rational human beings.

The palace is inside an island like an old luxury house inside a desert on the earth, and no being can see it until itself gets revealed.

The man sitting on the chair seemed angry on just a blink of an eye in the next second, there came a playful smirk, the smirk which can give creepy chills.

Even though the man looked handsome to avert the gaze for a second, the cold vibes and smirk will make one sweat even in the bone-chilling cold winter.

The man laughed creepily, seeping arrogance through every corner of his body said:

"it's okay to lose the pendant; it's not like it is vital to help us gain control over this world. We still have lots of tricks up our sleeves.

The other side of the magical barrier sneered at him for his arrogance "don't be so smug of your royal blood; you are still the little prince who needs our help to achieve your goals."

The man laughed playfully, "yes, yes, I agree. I still need your help, but don't you see I think the same way, so we have to cooperate for our own goals.

Don't worry if you want the pendant desperately we can try to get, but it will be risky, later don't blame for losing our human resources".

Sighing to themselves, "let it be, for now, we have to be careful the WICC team seems to be adamant on finding something with the investigation.

We have to avoid them finding something against us at any cost," the head of the other's declared.

"Little Prince, we urge you not to be so smug and arrogant this time; we are going to launch one more attack this time, so be careful and be prepared at times.

For more significant achievements, we have to take a few steps back."

Thinking this, they kindly reminded him to be more cautious and sealed the barrier back. There stood a massive portrait of his grandfather, who fought like a vicious warrior and left this world.

The man swore to himself to bring justice for his grandfather, family, and the community.

The king of vampire and witchcraft is uneasy thinking about his daughter's safety; he wants to take a look at her but damn his people in an urgent meeting.

The king seemed to be aged for several in a few days worrying about his daughter, but still, they were unable to get their hands on the latest attack.

Everyone in the vampire worlds can sense something more significant is coming on their way, unlike werewolves that can't figure out what.

The meeting took several more hours than he expected before it ended finally.

The man immediately vanished, informing his assistant that he will be out for some significant business.

They just landed in the secret study room inside the st. Mary's mansion and mind linked his brother.

Easton came to the mysterious man and asked him, "brother, what's wrong..? Why do you look so tense."

The mystery just grunted in response and asked him to take him into Carla's room. Carla just finished her homework and was taking a quick nap.

Leaving him, Easton went out of the room where he saw Margery, who is worried about her brother in law's arrival.

He shook his hand and informed that nothing wrong; it's just brother wants to see Carla".

Margery and Adaline were terrified when Easton suddenly left like a puff of smoke and landed with their brother in law.

The man stood at the edge of the bed quietly a long time before he decided to avert his gaze from her.

Thinking he might leave just like that, Carla opened her mouth, "I won't mind if you sit on the bed and touch my head, don't worry I won't open my eyes."

He listened to her voice, startled but composed himself with a chuckle, "little princess from when you were awake already.

It's not like I don't want to meet or see you personally. It's just that I don't want to put you in danger".

She is still closing her eyes with a giggle, "Hmm, don't worry about me being angry on you, I can understand you being away from all these years.

I want to ask will there be a day when you can come openly to see me, once you assure I will wait as long as you want".

Listening to her words, the mysterious almost teared up and said, "yes, my little princess, that day will come for sure, and I will scream to the world that you are my daughter proudly."

Before he left, he asked, "tell me one thing how you know that I am here, "to which she answered, smiling the way uncle opened my bedroom door.

Laughing heartily, he vanished to his world.

Even though she doesn't know their relationship, Carla is entirely satisfied with their interaction".
