After leaving Cindercrest, Adrian and Luke set out to do something they should have done for a while now.
Find Killian Fernandez.
Because he was the key suspect in the attack.
Or most likely, he is related to the culprit.
The only clues they had were him being a vampire, and Adrian being able to sense as he comes in contact with his sire.
And the last was an emblem.
It looked like a symbol of the sire line.
It was a circle with three stars round it.
Adrian decided to go the only person he knows will have information on the sire line.
Rohan Krug.
Rohan Krug was a thousand years old vampire who had knowledge about all the bloodlines and sire lines.
After vanishing and appearing at several places, they finally arrived at Rohan Krug's palace.
Rohan wasn't royalty, but he likes living like one.
His palace was large.
Probably the largest one in the land.
Even though it was nothing compared to the Moravine palace.
Adrian and Luke walked through the gate without being stopped by the guards.
Not because Rohan Krug was expecting them, but because Adrian was known to be unstoppable.
Adrian walked into Rohan Krug's inner chambers, and sat on his "throne ".
And then he demanded for Rohan's presence.
The guards froze at the sound of Adrian's voice.
The head guard approached Adrian.
" Your Highness, I don't think my master is in the mood to talk to anyone right now ".
Adrian didn't say anything but shot him a hard glare.
One that made the guard break into a cold sweat.
The tension in the Throne room had reduced to the lowest levels.
And Luke knew the reason Adrian was being cold.
It wasn't because of Rohan or his men.
It was because of the separation from Kylie.
The temperature was about to drop lower, until he finally showed up.
Rohan Krug's eyes landed on Adrian the moment he walked in.
" Oh, oh what a sweet surprise to what do I owe the presence of the future King of Morvayne Kingdom ".
Adrian still didn't say a word, and just signaled Luke.
Rohan Krug noticed that the situation was tense, so he dismissed all the guards.
Adrian was not in a good mood, so Luke decided to wrap things up and leave before things got messy.
He brought out the emblem and showed it to Rohan.
Rohan saw the emblem and felt his throat go dry.
He dropped the emblem and said.
" I don't know what that is, do you mind telling me?"
Adrian raised a brow.
Rohan Krug cleared his throat tapped on the table.
Luke noticed Adrian's mood freezing, so he decided to take over.
" Rohan, that is an emblem of a new sire line, and I think you know something about it".
Rohan shook his head.
I don't know anything about this new sire line in question, Lord Luke.
" Then why is your heart beating so fast?"
Adrian asked with a cold tone.
Rohan felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
But he kept his nervousness aside and spoke up.
" I admit that I am nervous, but it's not because I'm lying to you".
Your Highness, it's because of your demeanor.
You are known for being cold.
"But today, there is something strange around you".
Luke cleared his throat and signaled for Rohan Krug to drop the topic.
But Rohan who was ever adamant still went on.
He looked straight into Adrian's eyes and said confidently;
" It has to do with a woman, I can see it she is all over you".
She must be exceptional to have caught your eye.
Adrian was about to move closer and grab Rohan when Luke stopped him.
They got up to leave, but after taking a few steps, Adrian stopped and said without turning.
" I truly hope what you said just now was nothing but the truth because if you lied to me Rohan Krug I will cut you into pieces and feed your body to the dogs ".
His voice was cold, but it carried a hint of promise in it.
And that made Rohan's heart to sink because despite being a thousand-year-old vampire he was no match for Prince Adrian.
Adrian and Luke arrived home in a few seconds.
Without wasting a minute, Adrian went straight to the wine cellar.
Luke followed behind him.
Adrian poured himself a drink and downed it in one go.
He poured another one, and did the same thing.
Then he poured the third, the fourth, and the fifth.
Luke couldn't afford to stay quiet and he spoke.
" Your Highness, you are a vampire, you can't get drunk".
Adrian growled and smashed the glass on the floor harshly.
Luke froze.
Adrian sighed and pinched the bridge between his nose.
Meanwhile, on the left wing of the palace.
Damien opened a treasure chest and brought out an emblem.
His fingers grazed over the three stars at each side of the emblem.
