During their flight, both talked a lot. Adam decided to tell her everything. Of course he didn't say anything about his suffering as he never liked others pity too much. But her shock hearing, there exist other worlds and other unknown races, was huge.
He also told about the girl who is possessed by the evil thing. He told her how he suspected everything.
"So you are saying, one of those things is the reason why that bastard suddenly became stronger..?" He nodded. In fact he wasn't sure nor does he know what their powers are. So he can only guess.
"I am not sure yet. If I can see him closely enough, I will be able to tell if it's true."
He said. After flying for some hours, she felt her wings tiring. However her desire to save her sister suppressed her tiredness. Adam forced her to let him carry her so that she won't be too strained. As he wasn't flying with the use of wings, He only needed to worry about his Magic Capacity. However not knowing its end, he decided to spoil it.
She being a grand mage level, can fly without her wings. However, flying needed a lot of training to control properly. Unlike wings, it was harder to control the body. So she accepted his help without saying anything. She then asked in his hands like a princess,
"Do you feel like you need wings Adam...?"
Her words were something he thought sometimes as well. He said, "As I don't need wings, I never really used one. However if I wanted one, I could probably make one."
He then closed his eyes and created another illusion of him having blue shining wings. There were blue sparks leaving the wings as it moved.
She was mesmerized by the display as she felt like he was some kind of mysterious being. She knows it's an illusion after hearing it from his mouth. However she felt it was too realistic to say an illusion.
Smiling in response to her reaction, he made a barrier to hide the wind pressure before increasing his speed several times. Although she couldn't see it, some who were outside the barrier could see a blue mysterious object flying at lightning speed unable to follow clearly with ordinary eyes passing through the sky.

They travelled shockingly two days through forest and ocean to reach an island. Jace led him even though they were flying. It may take about more than two weeks to travel here by other means of transportation.
With his eyes, he could see that this island was filled with the scent of blood. However he understood this was because of the vampiric nature.
The sky was light red, there was no sun here. Dark skies covering the entire island, he could understand why vampires were able to survive without any problems.
"So this is the Vampire Kingdom..?"
"Yes. Actually this is only a part of my kingdom. This place is allotted for only royals. In other words, this is an island city controlled by the royal family and so the king and other royals live here."
He nodded. Although he wanted to ask why it is divided, he decided not to. Landing near the coast, they both walked towards the entrance of the forest which is the way to enter the Royal Palace secretly.
"We need a plan to be successful. So first we need information. I can take care of it easily. So let's just reach the palace."
His words were satisfactory for her as she nodded in approval.

Walking together, Jace hugged his hands with her breasts within its valley. Adam stopped when he saw an inordinately large gate that surpassed the one he saw in the royal capital of Grania. There were also soldiers patrolling outside of the gate.
As he already discussed it with her, he didn't surprise her by changing her whole body and air with a snap of fingers.
After the arrangements were done, Jace now had brown hair and still red eyes, with a cold and simple, unlike her original beautiful and pretty face, stared at Adam with a questioning gaze.
Taking a mirror from his Space Storage, he passed it to her. Seeing the reflection of her new and unsuspicious look, she nodded in satisfaction without any change in expression.
Since she was known throughout the vampire communities, they both decided to hide their identity till they completed their aim.
Walking after telepathically talking, they reached the gate. Seeing the unknown two couples, one of the guards lifted his hand telling to stop with a sign. He then eyed these two people with suspicion before asking,
"Who are you..?! If you can't prove your identity, forget about entering, you won't be able to leave too...!"
As this was something they already discussed, Adam tossed a triangle shaped wood piece. It was actually a token.
Catching the token, the guard locked it before opening his eyes wide. He then threw it back before saying, "Open the barrier..!"
Though other guards were eager to know who the couple was, he said looking at them with respect, "Welcome to the city of Crystal Blood."
Catching the token back and hiding it, Adam and Jace, now disguised nodded before walking past the bewildered guards. As the two passed them, one of the guards asked in a whisper,
"Who are they for you to respect them...?"
The man who checked the token said with a smile, "That token is from the house of Dark Pearl." That was all needed for the others to exclaim in shock,
"""What..?!"""

Adam and Jace who entered the city were still walking like a couple. He asked telepathically,
'Are you sure we can trust them..?'
He was asking about, one of the noble families of the vampire community, Dark Pearl. As this city was ruled by the Royal Family, other families don't have any power here. However, that is different for the family with the name Dark Pearl.
'Although it's true that, they weren't there for us when we needed them, my father told me once, that i can trust them without any worries. I don't know why he said that. However I trust my father. So I'd like to know the truth. If they truly can help, I am willing to give them something that they can't refuse.'
He wanted to butt in and just finish everything off. However thinking about her wishes, he decided to wait.
'So, what's the deal with the 'Dark Pearl' family..?'
To his enquiry she explained, 'The Dark Pearl family is second to my family in terms of bloodline. Their power was below and the influence was above us. They run a shop in this city selling magic items and spells or medicines. If the traitor doesn't have what it takes to remove such a family even after becoming a king, then you can already guess their influence.'
He was surprised that, there was actually another family more influential than Jace's. He asked,
'If they are so influential, how come they aren't included in the succession of the throne...?'
Understanding his doubt, she said,
'There are some differences in the system of aristocracy in vampire society Adam. Unlike humans, we choose the one with power, just like demons in this case. As my father was stronger than others, he continued his position from our ancestors as a royalty. That is the same for the current traitor as well. Although he is a traitor, he is still stronger than others. That is the only reason for no one trying to overthrow his rule.'
She continued, 'In the case for Dark Pearl, it's just that removing a family which can produce geniuses for the purpose of magic items is just idiocy. So we can say that he isn't just an idiot. Or someone is helping him behind the scenes.'
Hearing her words he trusted his judgment of believing that the evil beings from other worlds are planning something. Then he asked,
'So, if the Dark Pearl family doesn't have any power, how are they supposed to help us with just influence...?'
Replying to his words she said, 'We can worry about that later. For now, what I want is to find out where my sister is...' Seeing the melancholy in her voice he asked to clear the gloomy mood,
'Now that I think about it, I never asked anything about your sister at all. So can you describe her features so that I can make sure I won't mistake her for someone else...?'
She blinked in surprise as she too never mentioned anything. Then she said,
'You can say that she is like my younger self, with black hair and red eyes as well. But you can just understand that it is her by just looking at her face.'
Not understanding the meaning behind her words he made a confused face. Seeing this she sighed before saying,
'It's just that, she is emotionless, but you can always see a faint smile without any feelings. I am not badmouthing her. That's just how she is. Well, maybe it will change once she meets you....'
'Hm..? What do you mean...?' Hearing her mentioning his future encounter with the troublesome little princess, he asked.
'It's nothing. Forget about it. We reached the place.'
His eyes following hers, he saw a shop labeled with a name with an unknown language. It probably says 'Dark Pearl'.
"So this is...."
Pulling his hands, she pushed open the door before looking around. Seeing that there is no one else than her, Adam and a young lady, she said,
"Black moon shades. Blood moon glow."
Startled by the words of her new customers, she immediately ran off to inform her mistress. Jace then said,
"This is a key pass used by the royal family only. Of course the little girl just left didn't know its meaning. So, she left to inform her mistress."
Nodding in understanding Adam scanned the entire shop with a glance as his eyes shone with a golden runic symbol. He raised his brows before squinting his eyes in amusement when he saw what was hiding behind the shop.
"I wonder who made this shop. Even if it's not their work, this is really something else."
Not knowing why he said something like that all of a sudden, she tilted her head.
'There is actually another room behind the door, which is supposed to be used as a storage room. However the main point is, there are underground paths starting from this shop covering the whole city. It is even connected to the castle.'
"What..!?" She loudly exclaimed. But before Adam could say anything, a tired, but very soft,calm and strong to hear voice echoed through the room.
"Strong and Proud House of Dark Pearl."
Then without turning to look at the owner of the voice, Jace heard the voice continue,
"Greetings to the Moon."
