BXBX NOVEL Chapter 188 Raizel's Suggestion
Kira informed Serafino and Raizel that he saw Gisel and Dominique Silvano here in the Golden City.
"You saw that bastard? I\'m surprised that you didn\'t attack him. How were you able to control yourself from doing that?" Raizel sounded very amazed.
He knew Kira. He was the kind of vampire who would never back down when it came to a fight especially if he needed to collect some debts from someone.
\'How I was able to do that? Hmm…\' Marceline\'s charming face popped up in his mind. It was because of her that he ignored Dominique\'s presence. He was more worried about her than settling his grudges with Dominique.
"I had something important to do at that time. I didn\'t want to waste my precious time with that cunning werewolf," Kira responded to Raizel meaningfully.
Raizel just eyed him suspiciously. He wondered what important thing Kira was referring to.
"By the way, Victoria is coming here this week. Do you want to meet her too?" Raizel was assessing Kira\'s reaction. He wondered what Kira would feel at the mention of Victoria.
Kira just nodded his head. His expression was neutral. He wasn\'t surprised nor excited about Victoria\'s arrival in the Golden City.
"Alright, Rai. I will be careful not to show myself to Victoria. Thanks for reminding me."
Raizel: "..."
That was not the reaction he was expecting to see from Kira. He thought Kira would show interest in Victoria\'s arrival. She was supposed to be his fiancee but Kira rejected her and chose Selene over her.
Raizel shook his head helplessly. His assumption was wrong. He was expecting Kira to realize that Victoria was the woman for her as they both came from the same race. Victoria was suitable to be his queen. She was smart, beautiful, and strong.
"Why don\'t you continue your marriage with Victoria? The elders will be happy. This marriage will also help you secure your position in the Vampire Clan. Vampires will stop hating you. Victoria will be the key for you to gain the vampires\' trust," Raizel suggested.
Serafino bit his lower lip while listening to them. In his opinion, Kira didn\'t need to marry a vampire just to gain the trust of other vampires. For him, he was still the Vampire King. He was silently wishing that Kira would not agree to Raizel\'s suggestion.
Fortunately, Kira and Serafino shared the same sentiments. Kira was against the Political Marriage between Vampires. Though he already made a mistake in Love. He wouldn\'t let others influence him in choosing the woman he would marry.
"Rai, you know my answer to that. It\'s still a NO. Besides, I told you that I\'m already married to Marceline Zhou."
"But she\'s a mortal. She will eventually die." Raizel reasoned out. He knew how much Victoria cared so much about Kira before but she was hurt when Kira rejected her. And now that Selene was out of the picture, he was rooting for the two vampires to be together.
Meanwhile, Kira\'s expression darkened when Raizel mentioned that Marceline would eventually die. He would never allow that to happen. Besides, Marceline was no longer a mortal. She became a werewolf. But he would not tell that to Raizel.
"I can just turn her into a vampire. With that, she can be with me forever," Kira said nonchalantly.
Serafino tried his best to hide his smile while Raizel crumpled his face. "She will be a gatekeeper. You can\'t touch her. Does she know about your identity?"
\'Who said I can\'t touch her? I already made love with her. I lost count of how many times I kissed her.\' Kira thought to himself, fighting a smile.
p
"But the question is do you love her? Or you are just using her too because she\'s a gatekeeper?"
That question caught Kira off guard. He didn\'t know what to say because he, himself, was not aware if he already loved her.
"See. You can\'t answer me. Your marriage with her is not different from the political marriage you\'ve mentioned a while ago. Why don\'t you choose Victoria? She can protect you and help you in reaching the goal of the vampire clan." Raizel was becoming nosy now. He was just worried about Kira.
He wanted Kira to go back to what he used to be. The old terrifying Kira was what they needed to defeat the Werewolves. Ever since he met Selene, Kira had become gentle. He wanted to see the cold and fierce Kira who fought Dominique and Werewolves before, attaining the sweet victory of the vampire clan.
"Rai, this is the first time after a thousand years that we met each other again. I don\'t want to argue with you. Can we refrain from talking about this? Please respect my decision."
"I did that before but I regretted it. You were put in danger and I failed to protect you…" Raizel lowered his gaze while clenching his fists.
"Don\'t worry. I already learned my lesson. It will not happen again." Kira reassured him. Raizel could only sigh in defeat.
"Rai, I have to go. There is someone I have to find… someone who needs to pay for her debts." Kira was referring to Evelyn. He planned on visiting the Triple W Headquarters. He was still suspecting Cedric. He might have hidden Evelyn.
*****
[ Triple W Headquarters… ]
Cedric and Vladimir were very cautious of their actions and behaviors in front of Serena, the Queen of Werewolves. She was currently roaming around the headquarters.
Cedric and Vladimir were the ones touring her around together with her elite bodyguards.
"I heard that the headquarters was infiltrated by the vampires. How did it happen?" Serena asked the two men as they continued to pass through the hallway.
Cedric and Vladimir exchanged glances with one another. They didn\'t know how they would explain that incident to Serena. They also had to keep Kira\'s identity a secret.
\'Kira should not meet Dominique or Serena. What if he will reveal my plans to them?\' Cedric murmured to himself.
