Frowning, Lucinia pursed her lips, her gaze was still in Victoria who was writhing on the floor. Curses left the woman's lips as she cursed Lucinia over and over, before threatening to kill her. "So… you are here for me?" Lucinia smirked, her brain was at it again, and she couldn't control it. It was like, they were working on their own, twisting and turning and whispering ideas that sounded too far fetch but somehow logical as long as she followed all the trail in front of her.
"You don't know what you are talking about!" Victoria uttered some spells that could ease the pain. However, it would only last for a few seconds before the pain would return, making her twist as she cries and let out a voiceless scream. "I will kill you! I will make sure that— AHHHHHH!"
"Was he planning to kill me?" Lucinia said, she started pacing as she held her chin. "That sounded wrong." The King wouldn't deal with her now that Mo Li was still alive. No… The King would definitely kill Mo Li before her. This was why she thought that King would target Mo Li first. This was why she thought Victoria was here for Mo Li and not here! "No… he won't kill me now. That would be suicide as Mo Li would definitely make the people who touched me pay."This was only an assumption, something that her brain had been telling her. "So… you are not here to kill me. Then what is it?"
Without easing the pressure, Lucinia stopped walking and looked at Victoria again. "So, if you are not here to kill me, then you should be here to find out something? Zach knew that the flower doesn't work on her and probably reported this to his real employer. By now, the king should know that poisons don't work on her, or at least, poisons don't work on her too.
So… what would be his next move? He would find out her weakness. Right now, her weakness would be speed and strength. She doesn't have those.
"But he doesn't want to make it that obvious. So… he won't use those two in dealing with me. No…" She started mumbling to herself. "Are you here to… " Since she was born, the King didn't actually show some interest in her. He knew about her ability but didn't do something to develop it, knowing that he could easily use it against other vampires.
The king was smart enough to know that he could use her, but he didn't. So why? Lucinia didn't actually think about this when she arrived in this world! She didn't ask herself why she was still away when people could actually take advantage of her want to belong and use her as a weapon! The King could have made her feel special, and she would immediately become his sharpest spear! "Unless… something is stopping him? Something… dangerous." Lucinia squinted. She couldn't think of any dangerous people surrounding her aside from Mo Li— which was automatically out of the picture.
Her mother?
Lucinia rummaged her memories and immediately knew that her mother was nothing but a servant. There were rumors that she died while giving birth to a vampire since she was human. Other people said that she ran away after giving birth to a monster. The King didn't actually tell her about her mother, and she didn't ask about her too.
Now that she carefully thought about it. Her mother could be someone really powerful too! Antimagic and a body that couldn't drink blood? Lucinia's face changed. Was her mother a WITCH?
'Bee! Scan my body! See if there are traces of magic!' Magic doesn't work on her, and she had the ability to control blood but cannot drink it! She had a long lifespan just like a real vampire, and she can't stay under the sun for too long. All this… all this was telling her that her mother was not human!
Why didn't she think of this before?
Lucinia wanted to slap her own head at her own stupidity.
"So… you are here to make sure that I am not a witch?" That still sounded wrong. The king should know that she was no witch. She doesn't have any trace of magic in her.
[Scanning complete. Zero Traces of Magic in the Host's body.] Bee's confirmation immediately assured her that she was really not a witch. So… why would the king send this woman here? Was he trying to take her blood and examined it? See why magic doesn't work on her? See why she couldn't drink blood and why she could control one?
No… that sounded too far fetched. Plus, the technology here is not that advanced to be able to study blood. Unless he used some spell to determine the composition of the blood.
Then what the hell is it?
But what if… what if the King didn't send this woman here? What if it was this own woman's volition to come in here? She turned her gaze towards the woman as she added a little more pressure on her. "If you won't tell me why you are here then, you will die in two days. That would be enough time… to get your mother… bring her here and let you watch as I torture her." She uttered. "Now… we can do this the easy way or the hard way. You choose." Lucinia said coldly as she frowned. Her mind was at it again, giving her weird ideas to the point of making her head ache. She was not used to this.
She was not used to hearing herself analyze things!
Lucinia felt that she would definitely go crazy if she won't do anything about this! Once again, she increased the pressure making blood started to exit from Victoria's eyes and mouth.
"I will talk! I will talk! Just stop this… please stop this and don't hurt my mother."
Lucinia nodded. She immediately lessened the pressure as she said. "Now… tell me everything."
