Chapter 303 Getting Ready For A War!
[ Triple W Main Headquarters... ]
Vladimir was reading the reports of the Triple W members related to the vampires and enemies of Triple W when he received an important message from Cedric's spy.
It was a magical scroll containing a secret message from the Kingdom of Phantasia. Vladimir frowned as soon as he recognized the mark. It was a very confidential message that needed to be destroyed after reading it so that they wouldn't leave any evidence.
Vladimir stood up, walking towards the door. He locked it before reading the message. Vladimir was flabbergasted as soon as he read the message. Complicated emotions flashed through his eyes and he clenched the scroll in his fists.
*The content of the message*
[ Alpha Cedric was captured by Silvano's clan. He is being tortured in the underground prison cell of the palace. Werewolf King found out about the assassination attempt against the Werewolf Prince, Dylan. ]
[ The real princess showed up at the banquet. She is known by her name Marceline Celeste Zhou. Dylan was alive and he attended the banquet as well. ]
[ Alpha Cedric is requesting an immediate rescue operation. Get him out of the prison cell ASAP! ]
[ Be careful of the werewolf fighters loyal to the Silvano Clan. They might be keeping an eye on every member of the White Claw Pack. ]
[ Lastly, try to contact and make a deal with the vampires. Goal: Killing Dominique and the Silvano Clan. ]
Vladimir had never imagined that their plan would end up in a mess. He thought everything was going smoothly according to their plan. Now, their Alpha was being held captive in the palace.
The White Claw Pack was in danger. Dominique Silvano might do something to all the members. He felt like an all-out war was going to happen soon.
"Because of this incident, Dominique will suspect all the members of White Claw Pack. We need to become more cautious." Vladimir mumbled.
He burned the magic scroll right away and informed the other members of White Claw Pack about what happened to Cedric, their Alpha.
He sent secret messages to the strongest fighters of the White Claw Pack, giving them an important mission to rescue their Alpha Cedric.
Vladimir was the overall tactician of White Claw Pack. He knew what he must do in times like this. He summoned someone and asked him to meet the leaders of the Vampires.
Vladimir would try to negotiate with them and make a deal. They had a common goal: to remove the Silvano Clan from the throne. Eliminate them!

[ Scarlet Heart Inc. Headquarters ]
Meanwhile, Victoria summoned everyone for an important meeting. Raizel was also there along with the vampire elders. Raizel didn't inform Victoria about Kira's request. Besides, he knew that Victoria would never agree.
"Lady Victoria, is there something wrong? We heard that this meeting was very urgent." One vampire elder spoke up.
"Yes. I think this is the right time to make a move. Using our entire force, we will infiltrate the Kingdom Phantasia and raid the palace. Raizel and I will assassinate Dominique Silvano!" Victoria declared to them with so much conviction in her words.
Everyone cheered when they heard that! They couldn't wait for this to happen. They wanted to strike back and bring the glory back to the vampire clan.
With the presence of their Vampire General, Raizel, and the pureblood vampires headed by Lady Victoria, they believed that they could win this war!
They were putting their trust in them. They were their hope!
"Abolish Slavery!!"
"Annihilate the ruthless werewolves and witches!"
"Attack their headquarters!"
They screamed in excitement. They didn't hide their eagerness to fight. They've been waiting for this to happen. They prepared and trained for a long time. They strengthened the vampire army!
"Yes! We will no longer hide! We will show them the true power of vampires!"
"We will suck them dry! Drain all their blood!"
"No mercy! No forgiveness! We have to avenge our fallen brothers and sisters! We will reclaim the throne... we will reclaim the Kingdom Phantasia!"
The voices of the Vampire Council reverberated inside the meeting hall. They were high-spirited today.
"So what's our game plan? When are we going to implement our plan? The raid should be executed well." The head of the Vampire Elders asked Victoria.
"We will destroy the Triple W first here in Golden City. Second, we have to kidnap the Gatekeepers, forcing them to open the portal going to Kingdom Phantasia." Victoria shared her initial plan with everyone.
"Ok. Let's do that! Once we succeed in destroying their main headquarters in this world, this will keep them busy. This will be our diversion plan. They will not think that we are already making a way to return to Kingdom Phantasia." A member of the council agreed to the idea.
"As expected to our Future Vampire Queen! Your plan is brilliant! You have our support!" Another elder praised Victoria.
"You flattered me too much, Elder Devon!" Victoria blushed a little. She had been dreaming of becoming the Vampire Queen. If they could defeat Dominique and the werewolves then she would reign as the new Queen of Kingdom Phantasia.
She just wished that by that time, a certain someone would finally take notice of her. Someone she had always desired would love her back and be willing to become her King!
Meanwhile, as they continued their planning strategy, Raizel remained silent with his conflicting thoughts. He was still thinking about Kira and his proposition.
After a while, Victoria noticed Raizel's troubled expression. So Victoria approached him.
"A penny for your thoughts?" Victoria nudged Raizel's shoulder, catching his attention.
Raizel could only frown as he looked at her. Meeting her gaze, Raizel suddenly grabbed Victoria's hand as he pulled her, leaving the meeting room.
The vampires and the elders could only watch the two with smiles flashing on their faces. They were eyeing Raizel and Victoria to become the Vampire King and Queen!
When they got out of the meeting hall, Raizel guided Victoria to the most secluded part of the headquarters. He wanted to talk to her alone.
"Are you not telling them about Kira? The former Vampire King is alive. I think we should inform the vampires about his existence," Raizel said seriously.
But Victoria just shook her head. "No! Kira is no longer one of us. He betrayed us! There is no point in telling them the traitor is alive!"
"But Kira is not a traitor!" Raizel insisted.
Victoria laughed sarcastically at Raizel's words.
"You are wrong, Rai! Stop believing in him, you will get disappointed in the end. We already had the opportunity to kill Dominique, but Kira ruined it!"
Raizel fell silent. He couldn't refute that. He was aware that Kira wasted their golden opportunity to kill Dominique without going into an all-out war! This was because of his feelings towards Marceline. That was the thing Raizel couldn't accept.
"Okay. Fine. I will side with you this time," Raizel mumbled, heaving a deep sigh.
He finally made up his mind. This time Raizel wouldn't yield to Kira's request. This was for the sake of the entire vampire clan.
'I'm sorry, Kira. I have to stop you from falling again to a she-wolf! They are our enemies.' Raizel thought to himself.
