DARKNESS - ENHYPEN
35. Red House

Elena watched Julius who was clad in his bloody palm. "You're not interested in the smell of my blood?" Ask to move fingers. Julius is done.

"I'm not that bigoted on blood." The answer is to clean up the p3k equipment.

Suddenly Jay stretched out his hand. "Give me your necklace, I can keep it safe."

Elena bit her lips slightly feeling guilty for not listening to Jay's earlier remark. "don't want. I'll keep it to myself."

I don't want Jay to just grunt.

"I think the black-haired werewolf was on purpose." Julius said to Jay.

"His laugh seemed quiet but he was actually very cunning." Jay Sahut.

"Even he seems to be using Elena to stop Sunghoon."

"What's? Why are you saying my name?" Elena immediately joined the conversation of the two men.

Julius turned his chair around to look at Elena. "It's like you can't get close to Sunghoon until he becomes King."

"Why? am I gonna make it hard? wait, of course I won't see him again. This meeting was the last time."

"Basic labile." Jay's squealing makes Elena tick.

The girl noticed her hand wrapped in bandages. In his mind was still always the shadow of Sunghoon. Especially having just met. It really feels like a dream. A very bad meeting starts with a fight.

"What happened to him? then did Sunghoon give his brown hair color?"

Jay and Julius throw each other a glance.

"We don't know, and we're just as you know Sunghoon's appearance has changed."

"Or maybe he wasn't Sunghoon?"

Jay walks by the window, noticing every suspicious-looking tree.

"He's still a Sunghoon even if he's not the old Sunghoon." Jay replied after finding out someone was eavesdropping.

"I'll be out for a minute." His words had already disappeared from Elena's sight.

"Wow." Elena looked straight at Julius.

"I won't explain anything about Sunghoon." Said suddenly.

Elena simply rolled her eyes and pensively pensively for a moment.

"Why should there be a kingdom between Vampires and Wolves. Doesn't that mean a war?."

"War has never happened between us. Only that small feud could still be dealt with. Like the love triangle between you, Sunghoon and Jake."

Elena sighs. "There's no love triangle between us." The denial.

"But why are there so many kingdoms in vampires? Sunghoon had even been the King of vampires and Jake would be crowned too."

Julius closed the window. "In the life of vampires there are many races. So that those who are strong and able to become leaders can make their own kingdom. But in human life it's just an ordinary group because basically we only have leaders to govern not having governments like those in humans."

The man lit a fire to light a dead candle.

Elena curious. "Castle of life and death?"

Julius again explains "The place is used as a means of humans who become vampires and humans who are related to vampires. They must make a vow for life. Then a death or punishment related to vampires and humans was carried out in that place."

ooooo

Far from the human crowd an old castle stood firm. The color fades even the paint on each wall has peeled off making the castle look creepy. It is said that a folklore spread, in the old castle inhabited by blood-sucking demons. Those who had entered the castle never went out again. Every night there were a lot of bats coming out of every crack, then before dawn the bat herd flocked back into the Castle as if afraid of sunburn.

A scream sounded in Heeseung's ear. Slowly he tried to peek out from the crack of the wooden curtain. A vampire had just been sunburned, it didn't seem like he had time to go into the shade.

"Every day there are vampires who become ashes, they are almost new vampires like you. You must be more careful when visiting here because this castle is above the top of the cliff and highlighted by the sun. Therefore those who visit will book a room to rest for a while and return to the city at sunset."

Heeseung nodded with a small smile. He's a little scared.

"Your submission was rejected." Said EN as to the committee in the Red House.

"Is there something wrong with my progress?"

"You're a new vampire, of course the submission to turn your lover into a vampire was rejected. You need to control your thirst to turn a human into a vampire so you can help your lover."

Inevitably Heeseung accepts the Red House's decision. Everything was the best, he would wait another 1 year to turn Gisel into a vampire like himself.

Pushed into his room he meets Sunoo and a beautiful woman with red lipstick.

"What are you doing here?" Ask Sunoo directly.

"Take care of some things, yourself?"

Sunoo glanced at his sister for a moment. "I'm here to see the list of the noble vampires who disappeared and also the list of deaths."

"Did something happen to your family?"

"Why do you want to know our business?" Mirae said coldly.

Heeseung was rather surprised, he smiled and apologized.

"I don't have time to chat with a lowly vampire." He walked away leaving Sunoo and Heeseung.

"He was angry. I'll go first." Sunoo patted Heeseung on the shoulder and followed Mirae.

When he entered the room on the death list, Mirae was sitting with a very scary face. It seemed like he could make this Castle poranda ravish with his anger.

"Sim's family has reported losing his son but we can't help him because he got into a fight with another vampire. Not because of hostages or killed by humans." Clearly the committee made Mirae even more angry but Sunoo tried to prevent her sister from exploding.

Sunoo smiled slightly at the committee. "You can blame Jake for breaking the rules on the grounds that 'Trial takes over a magic'. His family are rule-abiding vampires, and they're certain they'll agree if you put Jake on trial. But, what Jake is up against is not an ordinary vampire." His smile grew more and more.

Sunoo walked over to a long table filled with about 8 vampires. He put both his hands on the table.

"Vampire half wolf." His impact made the vampires in front of him surprised.

"You can't just talk. That half-Wolf vampire only existed hundreds of years ago and no one else has ever broken that cursed marriage." Said the committee chairman.

"You can check it out yourself, he's the son of the werewolf King in the Luga Ru's land. A crown prince who will ascend the throne." Mirae opens her voice, she will never side with Sunghoon again. After Sunoo tells Mirae who Sunghoon really is. He felt fooled for almost marrying a MiX. And his hatred grew after Sunghoon reneged on his promises to Mirae.
