"The Blood Council wants to kill Lord Atlan!" Lilith declared, realizing that it was the only way to keep Yovana in the dark, so she stayed away from them.

"You told them the whereabouts of Lord Atlan. And they now also have the Ancestral Weapon. Why would the Blood Council let the Progenitor of another lineage live who can be a threat to them in the future?"

"So they want to remove a future obstruction..." Yovana frowned. "That means they will kill Lord Castiel as well if they found out about him."

Atlas finally understood where Lilith was going with this story. All they needed to do was ensure that Yovana didn't tell anyone that he was a Progenitor, especially the Blood Council.

If she thought that the Blood Council was trying to kill Atlan, she was never going to tell them about him. She wasn't even going to think of meeting them since Castiel was her only option at saving Atlan.

"That's right. Why else do you think Castiel ran to here? That person isn't something we can fight, especially when he holds the Ancestral Weapon. We can never let anyone know that Castiel has returned. You understand?"

Yovana repeatedly nodded her head. "I understand what you're saying. The Blood Council wants to kill Lord Atlan since he's from a different lineage. They only want one Progenitor to exist... their own. So after killing Lord Atlan, they will try to look for others as well to remove all threats. We need to stop them."

Lilith smiled. As she stood behind Yovana, Yovana couldn't see the clever smile on the lips of Lilith.

Lilith winked at Atlas, signaling that she had solved one problem. It was as if she was telling Atlas that this was how a problem was supposed to be solved with brain.

Atlas simply rolled his eyes at smug Lilith. She really was a child at times despite existing for such a long time. While at other times, she was really mature.

"Not get inside the carriage. We need to get to Atlan before the Blood Council can." Lilith opened the door of the carriage and pushed Yovana inside. She also entered with Lancaster and Atlan after instructing the Carriage Driver where to take them.

She also reminded Driver to drive slowly at the beginning since she didn't want them to catch up to the Blood Council Carriage.

As the carriage moved, Yovana sat silently, waiting to be interrogated. She was sure that Atlas was going to ask who she was and why she wanted to help Atlan. She had already promised that she would tell everything. She couldn't reject them after that as she needed Atlas, yet she tried to avoid the topic, thinking that maybe Atlas had forgotten because of the whole episode with the Blood Council.

At the same time, the small rabbit and the dog sat comfortably on the nearby seats. The dog had already fallen asleep by now.

"So Yovana, the trip to the Kingdom of Wolves is going to be a long one. Why don't you try telling us who you actually are? How are you really related to Atlan?"

Unfortunately for Yovana, Atlas didn't forget a single thing. After he woke up inside the body of Lord Atlan, his memories were even stronger now.

Yovana gazed out the window, hiding her discontent expressions. This man, he didn't forget it even now. Even when his own life was in danger because of the Ancestral Weapon, he still didn't forget it.

"Yovana, I asked you a question. Who are you?" Atlas repeated the question after getting no response on the first try itself.

Seeing no alternative, Yovana straightened up. "Fine. I'll tell you everything. Lord Atlan and I met around seven hundred years ago."

"Huh?*

"What?"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Seven Hundred?"

Atlas, Lancaster, and Lilith all stared at the girl in disbelief. Was she saying that she was over seven hundred years old? That was impossible. She was a human. She had not even a speck of Vampire's aura, so she couldn't have their Immortality. Even Witches didn't have a spell that could turn them. Immortal.

Let alone any random witch, even Lilith didn't have an immortality spell. The only reason she lived for so long was because of Atlas.

"You are seven hundred years old?" Atlas asked, looking at the girl who didn't even look older than thirty from any angle.

"I'm not seven hundred years old." Yovana shook her head. "I'm seven hundred and twelve years old."

"How is that possible? You are a human! No human can live so long," Lancaster responded in disbelief. "Even us Werewolves can't live so long. Only Vampires can, but I can bet you aren't a Vampire."

"Are you sure I'm not?" Yovana asked calmly.

"I'm sure. Ever since I've awakened, I can sense who is a Vampire. You aren't one of them."

"That's because you haven't met someone like me before," Yovana declared.

She gazed out the window, looking at the trees moving past them.

"You all wanted to know what I am... You all wanted to know about my relationship with Lord Atlan... You all wanted to know why I was trying to help him. The answer to all three questions is the same..."

"It's because I am the daughter of Lord Atlan... I'm the child of a Progenitor and a human, a Half Vampire."

"Nonsense!" Lilith raged. "That's not a good joke. It's impossible for a Vampire to have a child, let alone a Progenitor!"

"Well, it's not as impossible as you think it is since the evidence is sitting right before you," Yovana snorted.

She brought a small pendant out of her pocket. "This pendant... This was the last thing my mother gave me before she died. You know what this is?"

Seeing that pendant, Lilith frowned. "The Pendant of Suppression. Why do you have it?"

"As I said before, my mother gave me this pendant. I didn't even know what this was. I just always wore it as an heirloom."

"This isn't an heirloom. This is used by the Werewolves to suppress their Bloodline. If you claim you're a Vampire, why would it be given to you?"

"Lord Atlan said that he had it modified by a Witch to suppress a Vampire's Bloodline. It won't work on a full Vampire, but it is supposed to suppress the Vampire half of my bloodline. That's why I always keep it with me. This is also why you can't sense that I'm a Vampire."

"I've kept this secret for a long time, but I'm telling you because I trust you. Help me save Lord Atlan... Help me save my father."
