[Liam’s angle]

I sized up the woman, Ashley. If I hadn’t known Ashley’s sexual orientation, I would have wondered if this woman was trying to do something to me. Or was it because witches were also humans, so she had such rich expressions?

Every time she saw Reese and me, she pretended to be serious.

However, if I hadn’t seen her flirt with another woman like a gangster, her superb acting skills would probably have fooled me.

Ashley took Reese and me into the room where the Moonstone was stored. The room was filled with dazzling light.

I couldn’t help but cover my eyes with my hands. Vampires didn’t like light, even if it didn’t have a temperature.

It wasn’t until Ashley spread a badly sewn map that the blinding light slowly receded, like a cat after its fur on its back was smoothed.

This scene aroused my interest in witches.

Witches, as humans with power, could protect the entire race, but they had no choice but to stay away from them because of their own kind’s repulsion and fear.

Just like the so-called ‘new king’, he was only born from his parents’ mistakes, but he had to be convicted for some inexplicable prophecy.

And I was the executioner who had raised the sword to him, simply because he might be the one to topple the Stuart Empire.

How interesting! Just like a chess piece on a chessboard, the person who planned everything had set up the trap a long time ago and was only waiting for everyone to walk to their corresponding positions.

I pointed at the light dot and asked Ashley where the ‘heresy’ was located. I was told it seemed to be a school.

Having received accurate information, I left the manor with Reese. Thinking about Ashley’s pale face, I was a bit happy.

Some rebellions could be tolerated, but it would be foolish to overestimate oneself and challenge the House of Stuart or the authority of Groser Stuart. At the very least, Ashley didn’t have the ability to question or deny anything.

In fact, if Groser Stuart hadn’t given the order to hunt down all the “heretics,” I wouldn’t have been interested in the “new king” or the “heretics.”

However, compared to those “heretics,” going against Groser Stuart seemed more troublesome. Therefore, I chose an easier job.

A capable man wouldn’t fear the threat of the prophecy. At least, it seemed to me that both the ancestor and Groser Stuart were just cowards.

Fear made people weak. When one was fearless and not afraid of losing, the so-called threat of the prophecy would be just a casual talk.

After Reese’s investigation, he found that Spurget High School, which was located in the north of Putinino Town, was far from the old castle I lived in. It would take a few days to get there by human transport.

Usually, when executing heretics, I preferred to take human transportation. I could enjoy the scenery along the way, or I could stop somewhere and travel for a few days.

However, this time, I was more inclined towards the unique way of the Kindred. After all, I had to face the so-called “new king.” I should give him the corresponding respect.

It was late in the night when Reese and I arrived at Spurget High School. In the city where humans lived, only the streets were still lit with dim yellow lights.

“Humans?” I was a bit confused as I sniffed the smell of food gently. There was even more than one food inside.

“Master, I heard that it’s the graduation party that Spurget High School prepared for their graduates tonight.”

“Hm.” I replied, stepping into the campus.

Was there going to be an intense fight or a one-sided massacre tonight? It was really something to look forward to.

[Evelyn’s angle]

“I, Evelyn Winslet, have already turned 18 today. Catherine, why don’t you let me drink?”

As I spoke, I glared at the burgundy-haired woman who was watching me with an amused expression next to me.

Her name was Catherine Cape, and she was a good friend I grew up with. She was also the person who liked to snitch on me to my family the most. Hm! Most of the time, I suspected that my parents had deliberately arranged for her to be an undercover agent by my side. She was extremely strict with me.

However, that day was my 18th birthday, and the day I graduated from Spurget High School.

Due to such a beautiful coincidence, I decided I was going to taste more liquor at the graduation party. It had always been my dream.

Oh! Why was my dream to drink? Ask Catherine!

Even though my family owned a bakery, I had always had a penchant for brewing wine, especially fruit wine.

The combination of fresh, sweet fruits and rich and hot liquors was the most perfect combination.

I still remembered the first time I brewed apple cider. It was smooth in my mouth and flowed from the tip of my tongue into my throat like silk. The aftertaste didn’t dissipate. I still remembered that taste.

However, after that incident, although Catherine didn’t stop me from brewing wine, she strictly forbade me from drinking. I didn’t know why, so I asked Catherine a few times, but didn’t get an answer.

I stared unhappily at the nagging Catherine. She was always treating me like a child.

After Catherine left, I looked at the alcohol on the table and hesitated for a moment. In the end, I decided not to go against her. After all, I was always the unlucky one every time I did.

“Catherine, that stingy girl who likes to snitch on people, her nose will definitely grow.” I muttered to myself.
