Faced with Jake's questioning gaze, Carmin didn't think for a second about backing out. Tired, she answered with the only plausible reason that could explain it.
"Because I'm not a Vampire. I mean, not literally." She confessed as she stared into his eyes.
"Go on." Jake nodded.
"I didn't lie before. Me and my sister Lily are indeed from the Lich Clan and my grandfather was indeed turned by its Vampire Progenitor. But not us. My mother was already born at that time and we were simply adopted into the clan. The Vampire Progenitor and the rest of the clan took care of us and educated us as if we were part of their aristocracy. To protect us, the Vampire Progenitor and grandfather regularly gave us their blood and used many Blood Arts and herbs to strengthen our bodies.
