At this moment, everyone was sitting in the living room waiting for Fate to begin explaining what she has planned. Fate let out a long breath as she began. "First off, Ella, you will not like some of what I have planned, but you are a key part of this plan."
Ella frowned, hearing this. She suddenly had a bad feeling. "First, the three people who were with you on the day you all schemed to kill me, I want them to be on our team in our next leveling outing. I already have things arranged with the dean, so when three students come up missing, there will be no problems. Unfortunately, he will be missing a few more students as well. But I will touch more on that later. Besides making those three girls join our team, I need you to keep seducing General Greystone."
"Ugh... I knew it... Why!?" Ella's eyes started to water up. She thought she was done with that man.
"Because I need him to be off guard. You do not need to do anything with him. Just keep teasing him. I will be leveling up a lot during this next outing. And after the outing, I will be entering the portals with Jean to go on a leveling spree. Once I get strong enough to take him on, that is when I need you to lure him to a place where I can finish him off. Your job is very important, Ella. I will not be able to take down a general easily without your assistance. " Fate explained.
"I can help with this as well. I can give updated information on where General Greystone is at all times. I have a few people who are in logistics who owe me a few favors that can keep me updated." Aiden chimed in. He wanted to help Fate in any way he could. Even if it meant his own position ould be compromised.
"Are you sure? If you get caught, you could be tried for treason." Fate asked. She was worried that Aiden might end up in a bad situation because of her.
"It's fine. Did I not say I would support you any way I can. Just keeping tabs on someone will not cause too much of a fuss. The worst-case scenario would be being stuck someplace training new trinities..." Aiden replied with a smile.
"In other words, nothing would change for you. " Fate shook her head and continued. "Then Ella, use the information Aiden supplies you to your advantage. Whatever you do, do not go into a place that is secluded. We do not want any accidents to happen. I want you to be as careful as possible when dealing with that man. I have seen how he looks at you."
"I will be as careful as possible, Master." Ella nodded her head. She also did not want to be trapped by that man. Just thinking about the few things she already did do with him made her want to vomit.
"Fate drink this." Kacey came over with a glass of crimson red liquid and handed it to Fate. The smell instantly made Fate lick her lips as her eyes began glowing red. She took a small sip that quickly turned into a chug as she downed the whole glass at once. "Mmm... So much better than that bitter stuff. Very sweet."
"Master, that is the virgin blood from those two girls." Jessica said before remembering something: "I also took their hearts, so Master should snack on those later as well."
Fate's eyes grew in excitement. Eating hearts was a good way to get free [Status Points}. But her excitement only lasted a few seconds when she remembered Aiden was sitting there. She snuck a peek out of the corner of her eye to see his reaction. She wondered if she looked like a monster right now. Aiden caught her looking over at him and smiled at her, causing Fate to quickly look away. She stood up and said: "I will go to the kitchen..." She then ran off quickly with the empty glass in her hand. Jessica and Kacey quickly followed after her.
"Aiden, are you disgusted by Master?" Jean asked.
"Not in the slightest. In fact, when she is happy and excited, that is when she is the most beautiful." Aiden said as he also stood up and slowly walked towards the kitchen.
Jean watched him leave with a faint smile on her face as she mumbled: "He really is a good match for her."
Fate was currently savoring one of the hearts as she continuously saw messages popping up indicating her [Status Points] were going up. Her eyes were squinted as she smiled happily as she ate it. The taste to her was like eating chocolate with how sweet it was. She sat at the counter on a tall stool, swinging her legs back and forth. Blood was smeared all over her lips and chin. Kacey and Jessica stood at the side, watching her eat with warm expressions on their faces. When they saw Aiden walk in, they wanted to say something but stopped when Aiden raised his finger to his lips, telling them to be quiet. The two tactfully understood him and made themselves scarce. Of all the things about her race Fate had to deal with, it was most likely her eating habits. To others, she would seem like some kind of monster who drank blood and ate hearts. But this was not the case. This was only because this was all she could consume.
"Mom, can I get another glass?" Fate asked as she finished the first heart and picked up the next.
Aiden smiled and picked up the thermos with the blood in it and poured some more into the glass. Fate's eyes rose up and looked at the handsome man in front of her. Her hand that held the heart to her mouth froze. Her eyes grew wide, and a faint look of worry filled them. Aiden sighed and reached over with his hand, wiped some of the blood from her lips with his finger, and then brought it to his mouth, licking it clean. "There is nothing wrong with a girl eating. You do not need to think strange thoughts. Although the iron taste is a bit much for me."
Seeing him smile and joke with her caused Fate's heart to flutter lightly. She couldn't believe how accepting this man truly was. She did not say a word and slowly ate the heart in her hand. She snuck peeks at the man standing across from her every so often as she did.

The next morning Aiden awoke up to the girls giggling and laughing out in the living room. Fate and the others did not sleep. When he walked out to the living room, they had a holo screen on the table in front of them lit up and were tapping away at it. "What are you girls doing?"
"We are trying to figure out ways to get blood. The leveling outing is next week, which as long as Master packs many containers, she will be able to collect a lot of blood from those girls, but even then, trying to bring so many containers and then bring them back full of blood will be an issue. If only she would just use us as her blood banks..." Jean blushed as she said her last sentence.
"Not happening. You know what happens when I drink your blood. You guys get all weird on me." Fate humphed. She did not like the whole aphrodisiac effect that happens when she drinks other people's blood. If she did not have to, she would prefer not to suck anyone's blood directly.
"Hmmm... There is a storage device. Although they are very expensive." Aiden had seen a few of these storage devices a few times. But the ones who had them were high-level officials from strong families.
"If only we could get one. Unfortunately, in order to make one, you would need to be able to use spatial abilities, which are very rare, and a high level on top of it all. " Aiden added. But thinking further on it, Aiden continued: "Give me some time. I will see what I can do. I will need to leave first after getting ready. You girls, be careful."
Fate saw Aiden walk off and quickly got up, following after him. She followed him right to his room. "What's wrong?" Aiden asked as he turned around.
Fate realized she followed after Aiden without much thought, causing her to blush as she began fiddling with her fingers. "I... Just don't do anything that will put you in danger." Fate said these words before running off. Aiden stood there for a moment before smiling and closing his door to get changed. He was very happy to know that Fate was worried about him.
