The Accidental Vampire

With an invitation, they had easier access to the clan, but Zhang's presence made this opportunity useless. If it weren't for that problem, she would've accepted that offer in a heartbeat, as it made things easier for her.

"That's right. There is a special day tomorrow, and our family head has thrown a party. You should really come."

Lilith really wanted to make it work, but there was no way she could think of where she could go there openly with an invitation. If only Zhang weren't there...

"I suppose your family head is going to be there as well?" Lilith asked, appearing curious.

​ The man shook his head. "That's right. "He is going to be there."

"I really wish I could come and meet him. But we would have to decline. As I said, everyone back home is waiting for information about how the deal went. We need to go back and get things done as fast as possible. Every day we delay is a day too late."

Despite all her desires, Lilith refused the offer. Instead of going openly and being seen by Zhang, it was better to sneak inside, no matter how dangerous it was.

"Well, are you really sure? Not only people from this town, but heads of other towns are going to be there as well. It can be a good opportunity for you to be seen and interact with them."

"So people from other towns are coming too? That certainly makes this offer more lucrative, but still... I think we need to go back. I am really sorry for the refusal."

"And thank you for all the help."

"Well, I won't force you. If you want to go back that much, I'll sure you'll have reasons of your own." The young man didn't take the refusal to his heart. For him, these people were also working for their company. Maybe they really didn't have time to spare. They could also have a deadline.

"Still, if you change your mind, you can use this invitation card to come. I'll be happy if you do come."

The man picked up an invitation letter and gave it to Lilith. Even though she had said no, there was still a chance that she could change her mind later on. Moreover, it didn't matter too much, even if that invitation went to waste.

Lilith saw the invitation before her. She couldn't help but smile. "Sure. If I have a change of mind and can afford it, I would certainly come."

She took the letter from the man and left.

The only problem she had was being seen by Zhang. She knew if she went with this man and the Town Head, she was going to have to accompany them. She couldn't disappear or leave them.

However, the invitation letter solved all these problems. With that, she didn't need to accompany them to enter. She could just use that invitation on its own to enter.

Moreover, if all the town heads and leaders of cities were going to be there with their families, she didn't believe anyone was going to worry if they couldn't recognize her even if she entered after using a disguise.

This invitation letter was going to come in really handy for her, making things somewhat easier for her.

She was finally allowed to leave. The trip to this place was short, but it was good. Lilith was really pleased with the outcome of this meeting and happy that she came here.

She entered her carriage with Lancaster and Yovana before telling the carriage driver to take her back.

"Well, that went well, didn't it?" Yovana relaxed after covering the windows with the curtains.

Finally, they were on their way back.

"With that invitation, you should get an easy entry straight into the castle. What a day."'

"This would certainly make things easier, but not too easy. There's still Zhang to take care of. That guy would be even stronger inside his clan, surrounded by his people. Tomorrow is going to be a really long day...."

"When does the celebration start?" Yovana inquired. According to the timing, they needed to be at the place, prepared.

Lilith looked down at the letter in her hand. "Starts at around six in the evening, so quite late."

"If it starts at six, then guests should start arriving at around five. But you can't go too soon. You need to get there when it's already crowded, so at around six or a little over, that should be ideal." Yovana summarized.

She was being so engaged in this mission as it was the last step that stood between her being able to free Atlan. It was as if she wanted this to be a success more than Lilith herself.

Lilith also didn't interfere and let Yovana continue.

"I'm sure once you're inside, you should be able to destroy the formation within an hour. So by seven, the formation should be destroyed. That's when we can barge inside. You'll be attacking them from inside while we'll be attacking from outside."

"The Franc Clan would be forced to split their forces, but by that time, it would already be too late. No matter how I look at it, this mission appears to be an absolute success as long as you don't get caught before destroying that formation."

"Because if you do, things wouldn't be as good for us. The entire Werewolf Clan would be here. You would be caught, and so will Lord Castiel and us. You're the key to the success of this mission, and everything rests on your shoulders."

Even though Lilith already knew all those times, she didn't comment. She just agreed with Yovana.

"Don't worry. I don't intend to fail."

Elisi received a letter in her mansion, being delivered by the most trusted person of Ramiun.

As soon as that person delivered the message, they left.

"Ramiun... Have you finally decided to tell me everything?"

A smirk spread across the face of Elisi as she slowly wiped the blood off her lips. A body laid near her feet, lifeless.

She stepped over the body to walk past it, getting to the sofa. "Clear the floor."

As soon as she issued a command, a dark figure appeared before the body and took it. Another person appeared and cleaned the blood spots on the floor.

Elisi opened the letter, wondering what secrets of Ramiun this letter was going to hold.

"Hmm?"

She went through the letter. Her expressions kept changing the more she read, turning grimmer with each passing second.

"He can't be serious." She tore the paper, tossing the pieces away. "He has gone crazy if he really thinks that's possible."

Even though she was in disbelief, there was also a little side of her that wondered if it was true, what could happen.
