Chapter 3781: Hiccups (Part 2)

Lith was about to say it was nothing much, when Lark’s glare nailed him.

“You’re welcome.”

“Glad you’ve learned your lesson.” The Count chuckled. “And thank you, Solus. Thank you for all the help you’ve given my family for all these years.”

Lark walked up to the flabbergasted Solus, took her hand in his, and kissed it.

“Well, this is our goodbye, so goodbye.”

Just like he had come, the consciousness of Trequill Lark disappeared from the soul of Varegrave, leaving a deep hole behind.

As Lark’s host, Varegrave knew how much the old Count missed his children and how worried he was for them. Varegrave knew Lark’s many regrets for the too many things he had left unspoken, thinking he had lots of time left to live.

‘With all due respect, My Liege, I ask you to return to the Verhen Mansion immediately.’ Varegrave said. ‘I’ve been given a third chance tonight and I don’t want to waste it.’

Sylpha had kept her word, and when the Sealed Space spell had been lifted, nothing of Orpal’s real body remained but Night’s black and red crystal.

He could heal from deadly wounds in a matter of seconds, but even several minutes after the massacre, he still looked like a giant mana crystal come to life.

‘Well, you got your ass kicked from top to bottom, but the mission was a resounding success.’ Night said. ‘You have gained priceless experience by fighting against the Madly Talented Queen and have weeded out all those who were going to pose a threat to our plan in the immediate future.’

‘Thanks, but there have been a couple of minor hiccups.’ Orpal snarled, in part due to disappointment and mostly because of the pain from his injuries. ‘Kazam wasn’t supposed to die.

‘That arrogant prick was supposed to have his ass kicked by Leech, possibly after succeeding in his mission. Once he returned home with his scaly tail between his legs, he was supposed to understand the error of his ways.

‘To learn his place and realize he is nothing without our protection. He was supposed to teach us the secrets of Fire Soul and save us the countless hours of training we now need to discover how to trigger and then master my third bloodline ability.’

Orpal’s skin prickled so bad as it formed above the crystal spikes that he gritted his teeth to stop himself from scratching it.

‘I have no clue what could have gone wrong with the strike team at the Lark Household. Kazam was in charge. We gave him dozens of Upyrs to cover his back and ordered them to hold Leech back at all costs.

‘No one but him has the strength to kill someone as smart as Kazam, and the scouts reported to us that Leech never got inside the Mansion before Kazam’s communication rune disappeared. Any ideas?’

‘None.’ Night couldn’t find any flaw in the plan, mostly because it was her creature as much as Orpal’s. ‘Still, it was a good plan and, as you said, it’s but a minor hiccup. Fire Soul is within you and all Upyrs.
