Chapter 217: Prepare the Carriage (2/2)

”Champion!”

”Report your findings later. The castle and all those Champions and Commander is in an important meeting. They are discussing the future of the kingdom and are finding out who the traitors are! It seems that Commander has found an interesting method thanks to Grand Master Alchemist's Truth Serum.”

The nearby soldiers were surprised when they heard that.

”Anyone who trespasses the castle grounds will be considered a traitor and will be executed on spot. The meeting is crucial as there will be a swift attack. Anyone who is found to be leaving this kingdom will be considered a traitor. Tonight, blood shall flow, and all those who are found to be traitors will be killed.” Gojirrah warned.

The nearby soldiers nodded.

”Go and inform the others. I will be bringing Lady Champion to her abode.” Gojirrah answered, and the trio left.

Kyros and Gojirrah kept bickering and talked about more of the details of the plan and how many will die tonight.

”But a lot of innocent will be implicated! Those are your civilians! I don't know how you do it in Lizardkin, but we humans don't implicate the innocent! Most of your people don't even know that they were dealing with those Captains!”

”Commander is pretty strict. If he wants Alpha Draconi to rise, he must be this cruel!” Gojirrah answered.

The loud and public discussion made everyone afraid. Everyone began to go back home, and most shops were being quickly abandoned and closed down. Everyone rushed back to their homes and family as they feared it. There were too many captains on that list! The list began of captains that were flogged had already circulated to the lizardfolk, and almost all of the kingdom had dealings with one or two of these Captains!

Kyros and Gojirrah easily arrived at the house of the Reptilia.

Reptilia was doing her best to shout and speak and warn the townsfolk as he realized the lies and ploys that the poltergeist was making them do. But she was too weak and couldn't even move her lips.

Even as her slaves and attendants saw the state of their master, they could only make way and prepare her room and give Gojirrah and Kyros privacy as they made their way out. They naturally knew of the happenings in the castle as the maids that saw and heard everything that transpired there had left early at Gojirrah's orders.

And so, while the scene of Gojirrah angrily forcing Kyros to heal her seemed a bit out-of-character, the maids who had just left managed to connect the dots from Kyros and Gojirrah's orders.

When they heard of the plans that were about to happen, the maids were horrified, and many asked if they could go back home to their families.

Gojirrah allowed the maids to leave, and the very few ones remaining were assigned to guard the door.

Reptilia was horrified as she could see her maids leave but have no power to do anything about it.

”My Lord. How much time do we have?” Gojirrah finally asked as they were alone.

”We have some thirty minutes remaining. Don't underestimate the bombs I made. And the poison itself was powerful, and my darkness was added into that mix. It should give us enough time to escape. Now, let's turn Reptilia into your ghoul. Unlike my Coven, both parties have to be willing to become part of it. But as for you, it's a forceful curse. You bite her and inflict your vampiric poison and force her to drink your blood.” Kyros explained.

”Understood. How can we get out?”

”Feed her the seed of the Pungent Shackling Poison Fruit after you turn her into your Dhampir. And then, we give her force-restoring and health-restoring potions to move out.

Reptilia was shocked at what she heard. The two began to talk, and she could see that this wasn't the work of a Poltergeist!

Her body was too weak. She was drained of all force, and she was actually in a critical state. If left alone, those poisons could kill her!

Gojirrah swiftly followed Kyros's orders, and Reptilia felt the curse of the vampire coursing through her veins. As she drank the blood of Gojirrah, her body reacted, and a bond was created in her soul. She would have had the strength to resist it and forcibly attack this curse with her Force. But she was drained. She realized that she was tricked! The Grand Master Alchemist intentionally made her angry to make her weak.

The bonds and constraints that Gojirrah set were much harsher than the Coven's curse, and she could not even make a scene to warn the kingdom.

”Master....” She stood up as she regained the strength to move and bowed towards Kyros.

Gojirrah was too shy and made it that Kyros would be her master instead of him.

”Good to have you onboard, Reptilia. Do you like your name? Or do you want me to change it?” Kyros asked.

Reptilia was surprised at the offer.

”Ah, we'll settle that later. The both of you! Use your influence and prepare to send us out of here. Prepare a carriage and get weapons and armor from the armory as we leave this place. Reptilia. You are to leave something that these lizards can use to track your exact location. Something like a life compass. Do you have any?”

”Yes, Master.”

”Good! Leave a message on the life compass. I'll tell you when to drop it. Say something like save me and that whoever can save you, you will marry. Your letter must be short, but it must be believable to them that you wrote it. That way, it'll make the guys mad, and even that Commander will work hard to save you.” Kyros smiled.

Reptilia was turning red, but she could not refuse her lord's order.

And so, the trio moved out to perform their last tricks to leave the kingdom safely.
