GoodNovelChapter 250 ---- NARRATOR Whispers of footsteps echoed through the forest, the moonlight revealing silhouettes moving stealthily and cautiously, hiding and waiting.
The entrance to the cemetery is just ahead...
No, well go another way, Dante cut off the hybrid who was his trump card.
Follow me.
He ordered, and although doubtful, Celine followed his quick steps in silence until the sound of water reached her ears.
Dante led her through a stream filled with pebbles, following the current until they reached tall weeds that obscured the path ahead.
When the vampire pushed aside the thick grass, Celine was astonished to see the water flowing from a large, round holelike the exit of an old aqueduct.
Con, lets go through here.
This area is still outside the castles influence.
Zarek doesnt control it, and its safer than the cemetery.
Lets go.
He gestured with his hand, and both stepped into the dark hole, their boots splashing in the water.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe damp, stale air reeked of death and decay.
But why dont you want to go through the cemetery? Celine asked curiously.
The truth was, she felt awfulnauseous, with a throbbing headache, ---- barely able to move forward.
It was as if puppet strings were pulling at each of her limbs.
The cemetery isnt safe.
If we take this route, we should end up directly in the inner plaza, inside the castle walls, after you helppass the barrier.
Dante didnt want to give too many explanations to that fool.
He wasnt sure how much Merkall had invaded her mind that old manipulator must have had svision involving this girl.
The cemetery wasnt safe for one simple reason.
Despite being imprisoned for centuries, Dante feared the power of that formidable vampire prince he had only heard about in whispers.
Celine cautiously looked around, scanning the narrow stone walls that twisted deeper underground.
Her vampire eyes pierced the darkness.
Soon, the path opened into a vast chamber with many dark tunnels leading to unknown places.
And in one of them, crouched like a predator, was Merkall.
He knew it.
He knew Dante would take the old aqueduct route.
This was the vision he had of herguiding Dante to the castle.
The only thing he hadnt known was the exact moment it would happen, so when fate led Celine into his hands, he decided to take control and give destiny a little push.
What he never understood from his vision was how she could enter the castle.
Now he knewit was through her bond with that powerful bloodsucker.
---- The red mark on the inside of her thigh, which he used to confirm that she was the swoman from his clairvoyance, seemed to be connected to Zarek.
Celine, tell me, do you feel any kind of pull? From here on, its amaze of tunnels, its hard to tell the way.
I havent gone any further, Dante asked.
He seemed relaxed on the outside, but inside, he was more than alert.
T think...
Celine looked at the gaping tunnel mouths, but one in particular seemed to pull her in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat way.
She pointed, but as soon as she took a step, her entire mind exploded in agonizing pain, as if thousands of knives were stabbing into her brain. She clutched her temples, roaring in agony, bending forward.
Thank you, dear, for showing us the way.
Now, chere, Celine.
Merkalls venomous voice finally emerged from the darkness, o m revealing himself as flames ignited the old candelabras on the walls. Well, well, if it isnt my old friend Merkall...
Hey! No, no, baby, you're not going anywhere.
Dante grabbed Celine immediately, wrapping his arm around her neck, holding her tightly despite her struggle.
Her skin felt cold and trembling, sweat making her clothes cling to her body.
She kept her eyes shut, panting heavily, fully aware that re that Merkall was attacking her mind with his control spell. T figured you wouldnt hand her over so easily, Dante sneered, his grip tightening.
But this time, I wont lose to you.
I cvery prepared.
