They weren’t ready to be involved in a war that would cost a lot of lives and resources. And they were definitely not ready to practically cause mass hysteria.

The hundreds of years old secrets would undoubtedly start to unveil among the public once they were to witness the unusual creatures running around on the battlefield at an incomprehensible speed, massacring everyone left and right.

The only things that would come out of the revelation of the secrets would be panic and chaos among the oblivious humans. And of course, great economic setbacks for the Kingdoms involved.

After concluding their political talks, Caspian got up from the sofa in order to leave the Crown Prince to rest. “I think I will leave you be, Prince Alexander. Please try and get some rest.”

“I will try,” Alexander gave a mirthless smile to the Crown Prince and gave a subtle bow.

Caspian then made sure that both of them were on the same page about the Crown Prince’s departure time tomorrow. “I hope that you will start your journey after having your breakfast.”

“Oh, yes.” Alexander gave a nod and also added, “Anna was saying that she wanted to give me a tour of the castle. Maybe I will do that too before having breakfast. And I will head home.”

“And what did you think about keeping my men as your guards while your stay in Lavinya?” Caspian had a few worry lines on his face when he asked that.

.....

Alexander was still not sure about using another King’s people to shield himself. And although he trusted Caspian and Hamilton, he wasn’t quite sure if the other vampires would have the same level of control over their thirst for blood.

He didn’t want to accidentally unleash another kind of monster in the sea of humans while trying to protect himself from one.

When Caspian saw that Alexander was still hesitant about accepting his guards, he tried to make the Crown Prince see through his lenses.

“Even if Everard wasn’t the one to organize that attack, there are others who were behind that. And they obviously have those creatures under their command. So, in my opinion, I think it is wise to let my men guard you. Even if a horde of them were to come and attack you, my men will at least be able to take you to safety.”

Alexander couldn’t deny that Caspian was wrong about that. But he expressed his concern first, “I would gladly accept them. But… isn’t their main diet supposed to be human blood? What if they…”

“Ah!” Caspian understood what was actually bothering Alexander. So, he reassured the Crown Prince, “Yes, their main diet includes blood. However, they are well-trained to suppress their instinct to hunt. And they are capable of finding the willing blood servants themselves.”

He further emphasized, “Trust me, their diet will be the least of your problem.”

Since Caspian said that much to him, Alexander agreed to take Caspian’s men to Lavinya. “I will gladly accept your benevolence then, King Caspian.”

A glimmer of relief appeared on Caspian’s face when Alexander accepted it. He firmly patted Alexander’s shoulder. “I will arrange things accordingly then.”

Caspian then glanced at the door with the intention of leaving Alexander to rest for the night. However, before he bid goodnight to the Crown Prince, he suddenly recalled something important that he had yet to discuss.

“Oh, and…” He looked at Alexander with a questioning glance and then asked, “I also wanted to ask something to you.”

“Yes, sure,” Alexander looked curious to know what it was.

Caspian took a few seconds to prepare himself before saying, “I actually wanted to talk to you about Anastasia’s health.”

Alexander suddenly widened his eyes as he was caught by surprise when Caspian mentioned her health.

Caspian also instantly caught how alarmed Alexander looked. Now, he was sure that there was something that Alexander was hiding.

And thus he asked, “Is there something that I should know? I am just asking because she seems to be weaker than other humans her age. She gets sick a little too often. And I can’t help but get worried about her.”

By now, Alexander had calmed his nerves. He put on a fa?ade and replied confidently, “Ah, yes. She catches cold and fever very easily than the others.”

He didn’t see Caspian’s questioning gaze fading away. So, he further explained, “I guess that’s because she was overly protected by our parents since she is the pampered youngest child. And she wasn’t allowed to do normal activities like walking in the rain or playing outside in nature. I think that somewhat affected her immunity.”

“So, there’s nothing that I need to worry about?” Caspian raised his brows, still not quite satisfied with Alexander’s answer.

Alexander gave a nervous smile and nodded. “She should be fine if she maintains her previous lifestyle and doesn’t do anything physically straining.”

“Ah!” Caspian’s sharp ears caught Alexander’s heart skipping a beat when he spoke the last sentence, almost as if he had just lied. He didn’t accuse the Crown Prince of lying though. He simply heaved a sigh and said, “I will keep that in mind then.” He patted Alexander on the shoulder, a bit strongly, and thanked him.

After that, he finally bid the Crown Prince goodnight. “I hope you will sleep well. I will take my leave now.”

“I hope you have a good night,” Alexander gave a polite smile and then accompanied the King to the door.

Caspian walked out of the room. However, rather than heading towards the Queen’s room to get some sleep, he decided to visit Zenon first. Since Hamilton and Vincent were staying over, Zenon had also stayed back to give them company.

Caspian found all three gentlemen in the guest room that was assigned to Hamilton.

He knocked on the door and walked in. The three of them were holding a glass each and Vincent was sharing his side of the story about the battle.

“Hey, cousin. Come join us!” Hamilton asked in a cheerful voice when he saw Caspian standing behind Zenon.

“In a while. I have some important things that I need to look into for now,” Caspian replied in a haste. He then gazed at Zenon and asked, “Zenon, why don’t you meet me in my study room?”
