Chapter 267
---- Kael had only taken possession of part of the castle and the throne because Zarek had been asleep,
indifferent to this world, to Gabrielles dealings.
But now, everything had changed.
However, Zarek was in no rush.
He leaned back against the wall, waiting patiently while his spiritual projection toyed with that fool of a magician.
Zarek wanted her to cand rescue him.
He smiled in the darkness, the tip of his tongue caressing his sharp fangs.
She would cfor him willinglysoon.
sek Standing under the balcony roof, Merkall watched as the torrential rain lashed the kingdoms lands, but
neither the thunder nor the storm frightened him; nothing could challenge him now.
When Zarek stepped onto the stone balustrade and his voice resonated in an ancient language, amplified and
resounding across the Cemetery grounds like a general summoning his troops to battle, Merkall stepped closer,
knowing he was about to witness something extraordinary.
The earth trembled, a dense black mist covering the crosses and crypts, rolling across the withered terrain,

blanketing it entirely.
The world shifted in an instant as the bodies of soldiers began to rise from their graves.
Growls, hisses, and maniacal laughter echoed within the dark mist, a haunting melody whispering through the
air as more and more figures ---- awoke.
Centuries had passed, waiting for their masters call.
The first foot emerged from the fog, followed by the entire figure of a powerful vampire.
Merkall had expected to see a horde of ragged undead.
He had always been fascinated by necromancy and had experimented on a few corpses, but he never imagined
these men and women emerging from the darkness would look so...
alive.
And yet, as they all raised their heads to look at him, his soul nearly froze in his chest.
Their eyes gave them awayvoid of irises, just deep black hollows in their facesand the eerie grins they wore sent
chills down his spine.
Tell them | am their new King! That they will obey only me! he commanded Zarek, tightening his grip on the
contracts power.
The prince calmly stepped down from the balustrade and made a gesture with his hand.
The rain began to subside over the castle, and below, all the twisted sounds fell silent at once.
"My dear brothers-in-arms, as you've already heard, theres anew master in the castle, so | think its tto show
him our respect and welchim properly!" Zarek announced, the Machiavellian smile on his handsface
becoming harder to conceal.
"Bring in our newest acquisition!" he roared, and Merkall felt a terrible premonition creep up his spine.
He glanced back at Celine and gave her secret orders.
---- "Look, sir, our new recruit is eager to present you with his offering." "T don't know what you're planning, but
you're going to regret it if...
LAILA!" Merkall leaned dangerously over the edge of the balcony, staring in horror at his daughters terrified face
as she stumbled forward, the ranks of the undead parting for her passage.
She couldnt speak; her mouth was sewn shut, tears streaming endlessly from her swollen, red eyes.
Her entire body was covered in filth, her hair a tangled mess, and her arms were held tightly behind her back by
none other than Dante, the former vampire leader of the rebellion.
"I thought, since you enjoy playing with puppets so much, you'd appreciate this little performance.

Shall | start the show for you?" Zarek spoke beside him with malice, his cruel expression igniting both fear and
fury in Merkall.
"Giveback my daughter, you monster! Ill destroy you! | want you to burn along with this damned castle, to
ashes, to the ground!" Merkall bellowed, summoning his magic and attempting to tighten the contract chains
around Zarek.
The prince, visibly bored, simply flicked his hand, and the silver chains crashed to the floor, corroding and
disintegrating into nothing.
"No, no! | signed the contract! | am the master! No matter how powerful you are, you cant defy the power of the
Goddes: stumbling backward in sheer panic, frantically invoking his magic, which "he screamed, rebounded off
Zarek's body without leaving a single mark.
In the blink of an eye, he found himself being lifted into the air, Zareks hand wrapped tightly around his throat.
