Chris observed the young prince for a short while before turning to Dominic.
"Dominic, can you do me a favor?" Chris asked.
"Yes, what is it?" said Dominic.
"Can you put your hand on his head?" Chris asked again.
"Yes, but why would you want me to do that?" Dominic asked, slightly hesitating.
"Well, I need you to be a vessel for me to connect with this boy, since... you know, I am actually not at here. Don't worry, it's not anything bad and would not affect your body for a single bit." said Chris, in a sincere tone.
But anyone who knows Chris well will certainly knows that Chris is obviously hiding some important details.
Dominic nodded before placing his hand on the young prince's head...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secret Base. In a well-secured room, Chris is sitting on an armchair with his eyes closed, Sky is standing at his side, holding up a support magic zone around Chris, he looks a bit worried.
After a short while, Chris slowly opened his eyes, he looks slightly... disoriented. Then, all of the sudden, without any warning, he coughed blood.
"Chris!" Sky exclaimed in shock.
"Don't worry, just some slight backfire of my own magic, this is a rather complicated magic after all." said Chris as he pulled out a black handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away the blood on his mouth.
"Seriously, Ben is going to be so mad." said Sky, who looks rather concerned.
"Let's get to the lab, I have found something useful from that boy." said Chris as he hastily stood up and walked out of that room and headed directly to Ben's lab.
As soon as Chris opened the door of the lab, he headed directly to Itsuki's culture tank and started to flip through Itsuki's health states reports throughout the day. Ben who heard the commotion from the infirmary next door entered the lab after a short while. He is slightly concerned to see Chris's condition and behavior but chose to keep quiet about it.
"Ben, Chris is..."
"It's okay, I understand." said Ben as he walked toward Chris.
Ben stopped at Chris's side and joined him with the report flipping.
"So, you had found out some useful information from Dominic?" Ben asked, in a casual tone.
"Mmm..."
"Care to tell us anything about it?" Ben asked again.
"Well... It's a very complicated and twisted piece of information but I will try my best to organize and interpret it as clearly as I could." said Chris who finally put down the report and looked at Ben.
"Okay. Let's go to a more comfortable place for a long conversation, like maybe the infirmary?" said Ben, who doesn't seem to be aware if there is anything wrong with his statement.
"Ah... Haha..." Sky laughed awkwardly due to that.
"Nice try Ben, but that wasn't smooth at all." said Chris, rather mercilessly.
"Tsk... To the lounge then..." said Ben...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to Chris, he had successfully tracked down that said founder of that small country mentioned by Dominic through a tiny bit of memory link from the young prince to his ancestors, with a rather complicated method.
Through the young prince's ancestor's memory fragments, Chris found out that the legend told by Dominic about that country isn't entirely a fake story, although some details do differ a bit.
One of the founders of the country is indeed a middle-class vampire, for some reason, he successfully got his hands on the pairs of daggers which were supposed to be with the previous Dracula. He was well aware of the consequence of touching the daggers directly, so instead of touching them directly, he wrapped them with a magic resistance leather as Chris did.
Soon after he got that pair of daggers, he started a mass massacre in the country, more than a thousand of people are killed in a month or more accurately thirty days, and for that whole month, he bathed himself in the blood of his victim every day. On the thirtieth day, he was busted for his awful deed and was brought up to a guillotine. As the blade is just above his neck, he somehow successfully made a direct contact with the daggers...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"But before he could do anything, he was beheaded and died on the guillotine." said Chris.
"Uh-huh... So, how do we even know if he had successfully taken control of that pair of daggers instead of just failed like everyone else?" Sky asked, rather speechless of the ending of that past story.
"Well, I assume that he had successfully 'conquered' that pair of daggers, since we all know that if he really lost control upon getting the power enhancement from the dagger, it would not be a light matter, even a young boy with hidden vampire gene can become so destructive, so I believe, as a middle-class vampire, he would be able to escape the guillotine easily and wipe out the whole country... If he actually lost control. But somehow he still gets killed." said Chris with a shrug.
"Ah... Doesn't sounds very convincing though. But surprisingly reasonable. So, you are saying that even with the enhanced power, it would be more powerful than losing control huh?" said Sky.
"Well, theoretically, yes. Since, when a person lost control, everything they have done is not under their own consciousness, they basically don't know what they are doing and how they have done everything. For example, if Itsuki suddenly regained his sanity, do you think he would know how to do that deadly life force corrosion?" Chris asked.
"Ah... I got you. I see. So he had indeed successfully taken control over the daggers without losing control huh?" said Sky.
"Mhmm..."
