Chapter 16: Chapter 16 : How it was done

“Come on in.” Hearing Lily’s voice Victor answered her, but kept his head down examining the documents in his hands.

And after hearing the sound of her little footsteps entering the room, he raised his head to look at Lily who had just entered the room, and stood gracefully waiting for her young master’s commands.

He had to swallow his saliva, In the morning he could see that she was beautiful despite the dust and dirt that covered her. But now he discovered that he underestimated her beauty.
He could not stop staring at her snowy white skin, her dark black hair and her pretty face. She was wearing pink pajamas, probably prepared by the maids. It suited her very well, and although lily did not have a curvy body shape, her slim stature suited her well.

He had lived for a long time, but few of the beauties he knew rivaled her. But unfortunately for him, there are things he must do first, before he can devour her.

“I have to make her wear a veil, I can’t let other men look at her.” He thought.

Victor, after being astonished by Lily’s beauty for a brief moment, he quickly reminded himself to keep cool and be a good young master, so he coughed twice covering his nose, as he felt the blood leaking.
“you look pretty, now go, close the door.”.
Lily blushed because of his words and while keeping her head down in shame she turned around and closed the door, Her actions made her fail to see the bewildered look on Victor’s face right now, whose nose started to bleed. And how he quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and stealthy wiped away the blood from his nose. Then coughed a few more times. Hiding his embarrassment.

Lily, hearing his cough, looked at him with concern and asked “Young master, are you okay?”.
“I am fine. Now come here and sit down, we need to talk,” then he pointed to the opposite sofa. Lily looked a little nervous but she went and sat there.

“Don’t be nervous, I know what you are thinking about, but I will not sleep with you right now.” victor said, and that surprised her as she has already prepared herself. “Young master, are you in any way, dissatisfied with me ?” She asked while feeling a little aggrieved.

“Don’t ask stupid questions, or I will punish you.” Victor replied with a smile, “It is just not the time yet, as both of us need to fully awaken our bloodlines first, any nightly activities before that will have a detrimental effect on us,” he explained while watching the anxious Lily becoming relieved.

He wanted to awaken his bloodline during the ceremony by choosing a blood master or a dragon disciple class, as they had skills that can help him ignite or awaken his blood, but he ended up preferring to choose a different class.
Now he has a grand plan for his and Lily’s bloodline awakening, and she must be a virgin for it to succeed, and the same goes for him.

“Then, may I ask the young master, why did you request for me to accompany you in your chamber at this late hour,” she asked in a cold voice. It seems she was really looking forward to sleeping with her young master.

“It’s not me who wants something,” he said while holding his laugh, he seemed to have understood what she was thinking, and that made Lily blush even more.

“Didn’t you want to ask me something?” He asked.

“Ah, yes” she seemed to have finally remembered what she wanted to ask him about, It’s about Guy’s death, as he did not allow her to ask in the hall earlier.

“young master, about Guy...”, she began to question him in a low voice, but Victor interrupted her and asked,

“Why did you want to kill him, did you think I would believe your pathetic excuse at the hall, you were there to find a suitable chance to disturb his ritual and kill him, right ?”.

That made Lily stand up and bow her head in shame then node “young master, I am very sorry I lied to you and the elders,” she said with a serious tone “Guy was a monster, and there is a reason I wanted to kill him, It was because he killed my best friend for fun during one training session a year ago, he tortured her there and let us watch, then he promised us that he will do the same to me and my sisters after the ceremony” She said with her tears dropping on the floors from the top of her flushed cheeks,

“I had to avenge my sister and protect the others,” then she bowed deeply, “ I am really sorry.”

Victor looked at her and then rebuked her “When did I allow you to stand up, sit down,”
She quickly sat down timidly. So Victor continued,

“You don’t need to be sorry for killing a monster like him, but needs to be very sorry for lying to me,” he said, “I will forgive you this once, but don’t ever do it again,” He said with a cold tone. If Lily looked him in the eyes at this very moment, she would be shocked by how chilled they were.

Then his tone became cheerful again, “Now, wipe off your tears.” He didn’t like the sight of her sad tears.
“Do you want to know how Guy died? “ He asked with a smile.

Lily quickly used the cuffs of her pajamas to wipe her tears, then looked up at him with her red eyes and said in a firm tone, “May the young master enlighten me ?”.

Victor looked her deep in the eyes and said, “What I will tell you now, will not leave this room, Understood ?”

Lily quickly nodded her head in acknowledgment.

“The pill Guy took should be The misty blood pill. Do you know anything about it?” He asked, but Lily shook her head. She has never heard of such a pill.

Victor continued with a solemn look, “It is a very evil pill. To create it, you are required to refine ten pureblood babies while they are alive,”
That made Lily feel a chill in her back and gasp for air. “They are monsters…, From where would they get the b...” she wanted to ask, but Victor beat her to the answer.

“Guy’s father should be Dick, the master of the assassins’ hall, so it should be doable for him. You have not completed your assassin training yet, right ?” he asked Lily.
She shook her head, “No, not yet, Only the final test remains, but the hall master listened to Guy’s request and delayed it till after Ceremony.”

“Oh, so that’s what happened. Well, that means you don’t know. It’s just that the family sends its assassins on all kinds of missions. Some of them are to spy at and sometimes assassinate members from other families.” Victor explained,
“Then, would the family give orders to kill babies?.” Lily’s face turned white when she thought of that. She was trained as an assassin, and she was even made to kill someone before, but never a child. She wouldn’t be able to do that.

“No, They wish they could, but there was an agreement between the major families many years ago. It stated that no assassination would be attempted at any family member before his ceremony,” Victor reassured her, then continued,

“So it is most likely Dick’s Idea. He probably kidnapped some low-level or illegitimate children here and there and kept a secret. Searching for someone with a pure bloodline is not an easy task. It probably took him many years. Perhaps, he started this operation when Guy had just been born. But the one thing that puzzles me is from where did he get the recipe for it, It is a forbidden pill after all,”

He said with his hand holding his chin.

Lily was a little shocked by such news. Yet she had to ask with concern, “Shouldn’t we notify the family?”. If the family were to be alerted, she might get into trouble.

“No, not, for now anyway, I have plans for him, and you don’t need to worry. It will have nothing to do with you. Dick’s end will be more miserable than his son’s,” he said with an evil grin. Then he continued,

“When Guy took that pill, his bloodline purity increased. But his blood essence became heterogeneous, as it came from different sources, and probably none of them is from the Von Weise family. So they do not mix with Guy’s original bloodline well. At the ceremony, the orb only samples the bloodline once. So it does not matter. However, when you kept looking at him, the orb kept going back to him. Just like when you keep pressing the same link in a smartphone, and that made the system retest his bloodline quite a few times.” He said slowly.

“Ah,” Lily exclaimed,

“So the orb found that he has multiple completely different bloodlines and they didn’t belong to him, and that triggered an error and caused a bug. When the world rules fixed the bug, it removed the conflicting bloodlines altogether. So poor Guy lost all bloodlines, including his original one.” Victor finished his explanation.

“Young master, while I get the gist of it, I don’t understand how this bug thing works” Lily tilted her head and stated,

“You will learn about it in the future, but not now, it is still too early.” He answered with a head shake. “And remember, not a word to anyone, Understood?” he ordered.

Lily Nodded her head “ Understood.” she confirmed.

She is now full of reverence for her young master.

“Now, for the second thing, I need you for, this happens to be a very important task,” he said, as looked at Lily sternly.
“Yes, young master,” she answered nervously.

He stood up then walked to where she was sitting and put his hands on her shoulders.
“I am feeling tired, so I am going to sleep now. However, as I am not used to the pillows here, you will have to be my pillow for tonight!”
Victor ordered the speechless Lily.

And with that, he ruined his good image in her mind again.
