She Belongs To The Devil

"Yes, Wyverndale might need the werewolves fighting on her side," Adeline replied with a very serious look on her face.

"How many vampires are there?" Nigel asked in an equally serious tone, willing to do everything in his power to convince the alpha to help Wyverndale at the time of need.

Adeline pursed her lips and shook her head. "We don\'t know that yet. But I have asked brother Edwin to find that out."

Nigel raised his brows in disbelief, "You have asked Edwin? The Edwin that we know? The son of that same witch?"

"Oh!" Adeline rubbed her forehead and then chuckled awkwardly, "Umm… I haven\'t told you this. He has changed for good. Or rather he was forced to change for good by the Dragon Immortal. And now his loyalty lies with me. So, I have decided to make him my Personal Advisor. And-"

Nigel abruptly interfered in the middle and then exclaimed, "Are you out of your mind! You made that cruel brat your Personal Advisor? Did all the other people die that you had to make him your Advisor? Even dogs will give you better advice than that brat."

Nigel was angry at his sister\'s gullibility. He had seen Edwin acting like a cold killer for all his life and when Adeline suddenly said that he had changed for good, there was no way that he could believe it. Not even after hearing that the Dragon Immortal himself had forced him on that better path.

Adeline totally understood where that anger in her brother was coming from. So she calmly explained all the details regarding the curse and how Edwin was the one to reveal that his mother was conspiring and bringing the war to Wyverndale.

After explaining everything in detail, Nigel was finally able to believe a little that their eldest brother was really on their side. "So, when is he going to find out the total number of vampires that will be participating in the war?"

Adeline took a deep breath in because she was also desperately in need of that information. "I have asked Edwin to find that out within a week because we are planning to capture and lock Lillian up after a week."

Nigel was about to ask something to Adeline but he let his sister finish what she was going to say first.

"So, I have asked Edwin to actively take control of Lillian\'s deal and lead the further negotiations with that vampire King. That way, we may even be able to talk them out of the war. Or at the very least, we will get the insider information so that we can be prepared when they strike."

Nigel was greatly impressed by how Adeline was able to plan so many things to prepare for the war. He realized that his little sister was no longer that naïve little girl. She had already grown into a capable ruler.

"So, you have already started to lay down your own moves, I see. That is very thoughtful of you to prepare yourself in every possible way." Nigel praised his sister and then asked, "And you have planned to capture Lillian? Can\'t she just use her magic and get herself out?"

"I have asked for the help from a Coven of witches. They will assist me in keeping her locked up using a magical barrier. So there won\'t be a problem in capturing her now." Adeline looked really confident in her plan.

And Nigel was even more impressed by Adeline. He was happy that she had gathered some very useful allies already. And then he asked her, "So tell me about this war, everything that you know till now. It might be of help for me to convince the alpha."

Without missing a beat, Adeline instantly began to give all the details that she knew about the war. And after she explained everything, Nigel was quiet for a while. He was analyzing everything and was trying to find how it would affect Aberdeen. He wanted to make the war a personal problem for King Conall so that he would be forced to join hands with Wyverndale in this war.

It wasn\'t hard for him to come up with all the problems that Aberdeen would be facing if Mihir actually managed to win the war against Wyverndale. And it would be an even greater problem if the Vampires came and settled down in Wyverndale.

Nigel glanced at Adeline and then assured her, "I will try my best to convert the werewolves into your allies. According to the elders, vampires used to be our sworn enemies in the past. And if they come and start to live right next to us, that will for sure bring the war to Aberdeen as well."

"So, I am guessing that if I mention the vampires to the alpha and to the elders, then they will not be fool enough to protect their secret and turn the blind eye to Wyverndale." He gazed at Adeline with more confidence and added, "I will make sure that they won\'t turn a blind eye."

Nigel patted on Adeline\'s shoulder and reassured her, "You should notify me how many vampires will be there in the war the moment you find it out. Till then, I will start the fire here."

Adeline tried to calm her nerves and smiled. "I will trust you to it then."

Adeline then remembered the ways to kill the vampires that she had read about. And she shared that with her brother, "And umm… I had read about the ways to kill vampires. I read that they can be killed by driving a wooden stake through their heart, pulling their hearts out of their bodies, separating their head, and burning them in the sun."

And she immediately glanced at Theodore and put forth her doubt, "I don\'t know if those methods can kill the vampires, especially the part about burning them in the sun… because I met that vampire during broad daylight."

Everyone in the room turned towards Theodore for insights. So Theodore glanced at Adeline and shared what he knew, "Everything that you just told works. The vampires are originally vulnerable in the sun."

He recalled how he had seen the vampire king kissing Lillian\'s hand in the memory, so he shared that, "But they are able to walk by using some kind of magical potion. Currently, Lillian is supplying them with the potions."

Adeline inhaled and exhaled noisily. She was frustrated by how that witch had been a constant eclipse in her life.. And she was fumed, she wanted to give the harshest torture to that witch for all the trouble that she had caused and was about to cause.
