"Red? What's wrong?" asked Trivia as she leaned in,

Red said nothing back and aimed his gaze at Amélia. His eyes were of confusion, as if he learned something he shouldn't,

"Whats the matter? Why the look?" Amélia asked pondering his look,

"Amélia, what's the colour of my blood?",

She got hit with shock as Red asked his question. Her fingers started trembling under the table and as much as she tried to calm herself, she couldn't stop,

"W-what do you mean?" she quivered,

"What's the colour of my blood?" Red insisted "When you cured me in that log cabin of yours, what was the colour of my blood?",

"It was red, much like your nam-",

"Don't lie to me Amélia!",

Suddenly she started shaking. She didn't know what to do. Amélia took in a deep breath and slowly let it out, gently calming her nerves,

"It was black" she said back with a straight face,

Suddenly everyone else had a look of shock and surprise come over them. Red however, had a look of confusion,

"You're a vampire" Red said with confidence,

"T-thats impossible! Look at her skin Red" Trivia blurted out pointing to Amélia,

"It's a miracle spell. I was a bit shocked when we first touched each other at the cabin as to why you were so cold even though the fire was going",

Amélia let out another sigh once again. This time however, as she did, her skin suddenly started transforming from a rosy beige colour to a very, very pale grey. As soon as her skin was back to its original form, she looked straight at Red's eyes,

"Well, you've caught me. So what now?",

"A Nobless right before me and I didn't even realize. I must say, you're quite good at keeping secrets, expecially one such as this",

As Red kept looking at her, he saw her fangs started to emerge, slightly bitting her lip. Her nails slowly grew a few centimetres longer and darkened in colour, her eyes went from sky blue surrounded by a pure white colour, to a dark blue surrounded by an abyss black,

"I guess you must have connections with the Deacon Family. After all, their the ones who exposed you" Red said with a grin as he threw her the letter,

Amélia didn't even flinch. She stayed her gaze at Red, looking straight into his eyes. Suddenly a smile came over her, but not of happiness, instead it was a smile as if to fully accept the situation,

"I guess reintroductions are in order. My name is Mialta Élead, I am the Head of the Élead Vampire Bloodline and the Third Nobless to succeed the Throne. I humbly bow to your presence Forbidden One" Amélia said straightening her back and bowing slightly to Red,

The smile never left her lips, her eyes closed and her fangs grew larger than ever. Red however wasn't greatly surprised. He did wonder why Amélia hid her true self but it wasn't plaguing his mind. But then he turned to Maria who still slept with Karla on the chairs next to Amélia,

"Does she know?",

"Yes she does. Everything I told you about us was true but there's something I neglected to mention" Mialta said with a gentle tone,

"And what's that?",

"That girl is the First Daughter of Krul",

Suddenly everyone became over with shock. Expecially Red,

"You're telling us that Maria is actually Krul's daughter?" shouted Trivia with surprise,

"Indeed, she's Marianna Firstblood, the first heir to the Vampiric Throne",

"Wait a second, wasn't Krul's daughter dead? Wasn't that why Krul attacked Radius during the Vampire War?" Gália asked,

"On records, yes she's dead. Killed by a golden sword wielded by The Fire Priestess. However what most seem to overlook was the disappearance of her body during the war. Krul looked all over for her and even her husband died trying to find her. I was an infantry unit at the time, fighting on the front lines of the War. But I had enough of it and faked my death. When I was retreating I found Marianna's body floating in a nearby river and took her with me. Turns out Krul's daughter is a stronger vampire than she looks",

"But why hide her" asked Red with curiosity,

"Because she doesn't remember who she is" Mialta replied losing her smile,

Red stayed silent,

"You see Red... She's much like you. Cursed with a history, unable to change it and fighting with everything to be free. When she first woke when I saved her, the first thing she asked was who she was. Now the 3rd longest living vampire losing her memories, it's painful. So I lied to her, to keep her safe. Told her she was a Selvan girl called Maria, easiest way to cover the fact she had pointy ears and a beauty unlike any other, that I found her drowning in a river when I visited Rianova and took her in to treat her. Of course I hid my true intentions",

"And what, pray tell, are your intentions? I mean if Krul's daughter truly is alive, you know who's going to be real interested in knowing" grunted Red,

"Please Red, calm yourself. I'm of no threat to you or anyone else, until provoked. I'll tell you. I plan on having this girl kill Krul, kill her mother",

"What?",

"Oh please Red, don't look so shocked" Mialta said laughing "After all your hiding your true intentions as well",

"What are yo-",

"I know what your looking for",
