25 The Stillborn (2/2)

”Now you know, Alexander.” Gerard moved towards him, patting his shoulders.

”What about Emilia's daughter?” Alexander nonchalantly asked.

”She's safe in Brookville, ” Gerard spoke as he smiled.

”Brookville?” Alexander's eyes narrowed.

”Yes, find her.” Gerard giggled.

He then noticed the ring on Alexander's finger. The crystal was turned downwards, keeping the ring band upwards.

”She's alive, Alexander,” Gerard spoke as he couldn't help keeping another secret from him.

”I know. But she had died in front of me. The ring still glows,” Alexander stopped as he remembered something suddenly.

”Wait, how do you know?” he asked.

”Witch King, Lord Gerard Rudolph.” Gerard laughed.

”Listen to me, Alexander. You need to be prepared for what is in your future. It's dark. One more chance, if you fail, you lose her forever. There are going to be many serious events if you both become one.” Gerard's voice sounded like a warning to him.

”David is still searching for Emilia's daughter, this is another problem. He was one of the finest warlocks. Love destroys everything.” Gerard sighed.

”David was the mastermind behind the massacre which took place ten years ago. The rogue vampires, who had no control over themselves, were possessed by David's powers. Lastly, he killed all to leave no trace.” Gerard's face showed an impression of disappointment.

”Where is he?” Alexander asked calmly.

”In his quarters,” Gerard answered.

”Let me handle him, Lord Gerard,” Alexander asked for his permission, but it was more of an order.

”Okay. Remember, there's a right time for everything.” Gerard spoke, giving a hint.

”How was my mother?” Alexander yearned to know more about her.

”One of a kind,” Gerard spoke nonchalantly.

”Rowena was a warlock, highest on ranks” he continued.

”Now you know how capable your mother was, Alexander” he stopped, as he walked towards the wine shelf.
