C17 (1/2)

Why? He was a man, yet he was so neither too strong nor too weak that it made people want to give him a good beating.

White Dew, who had never had a family and care, could not understand the pain that belonged to Klaus. She only wondered if it was something wrong with Klaus to insist on not letting go of his past. Klaus … Did he not know that there were so many things in him that people could not reach? Perhaps it was because he had been with them for so long that he had forgotten his initial gratitude and simplicity.

Bailu's eyes showed disapproval. Elijah had no choice but to sum up his speech. He then looked into the future with a hint of excitement that he could not understand.

”I think perhaps the child you are carrying can help my brother recover his happiness and his self.”

Sophie came in from outside, nodding in agreement. ”I'm glad you think so, because we need your help.”

Elijah formally faced Sophie, and his question was straightforward. ” Witch, what do you want?... What does this have to do with you abducting her? ”

He's a good man. Sophie glanced at her. And you're my ticket. A flash of electricity passed between the three of them.

On the contrary, she made her first request to Elijah. ”We're going to get Marcel and his vampires out of town.”

Elijah could understand that. Vampires and werewolves were never good friends.

”Klaus is the key.” Elijah's face darkened. ”You want to use him against Marcel?” If they wanted to use Klaus, it was because they thought their lives were too long.

Sophie continued.

”All that Marcel knows about the vampires was taught to him by Klaus. We all know that Marcel believes in him and admires him. He will not anticipate Klaus's betrayal.”

The witch's eyes were fixed on Elijah. She wanted to hear his opinion.

”Yes,” Elijah agreed. ”I'm sure you know my brother Klaus doesn't like to be told to do things.”

They had all heard about the great half-breed. ”So I brought you here.”

Elijah raised his eyebrows. She didn't think that the relationship between their ancestors was harmonious, did she?

Sophie glared at Elijah again and explained further. ”Marcel drove all the werewolves out of town decades ago. Do you really think he would have welcomed a half-breed as a neighbor?”
