As her words left her mouth, there was a small silence. Adam stared at the women who seemed to have said another code to Jace. She was very beautiful to see. She had a mix of black and brown glistening hair, with surprisingly orange eyes. However without eyeing her in a disturbing way, Adam scanned with his eyes.

He understood now why she has different features compared to Jace. She was a half vampire - half succubus.
'Let's just forget about her age. After all, I know even jace is near 1400, and her race too. But her strength is indeed stronger than Jace. And what's with that amount of skills..?'
« Look who's asking.. »
Hearing Maya's words he wanted to retort. He decided to wait, while Jace turned towards the origin of voice staring at her. Jace and Glare are still staring at each other without saying anything. Then breaking the silence, Glare nodded to the shop sales girl waiting for her order. Turning to the door that leads to the other room, she said,
"Please come with me to this room." Without waiting to see if they were following her, the women walked past the door.
Seeing Adam nodding, Jace followed the women while Adam kept himself near her. Walking inside the room, they saw the woman waiting for them. After the girl outside closed the door, there was loud thud, which made Jace startled.
Seeing the woman kneel powerfully like a warrior, though he was surprised, it was within his expectations. Although he didn't read her mind, he could tell without, that she seems to be happy. The flustered Jace suddenly tried to lift the woman from the ground. However stopped when she heard his words.
'Wait Jace. Just ask her to stand. You are supposed to be the princess of this country. If she understood your identity, when she sees you humbling over something like kneeling, she would be disappointed. Just order her how you are supposed to. I can feel she desires something from you.'
Then waiting for a few seconds, Jace sighed before saying, "Lift your head, Glare Pearl."
As if it's natural to hear such words, the woman named Glare, lifted her head with a dazzling smile. Then her eyes began to water. Before they could ask why she was crying, the woman jumped onto Jace's chest like a spoiled child. Without putting any resistance to the woman, Jace's face cramped a little.
"It's really you my lady....!" Hearing this, Jace's face became affectionate. However her smile was lost when she sensed the woman was somehow sniffing her body with a disturbing smile. Pushing the woman away, Jace said.
"Enough. We have a lot to talk about, Glare." Then as if her perverted face was nowhere to be found, she smiled normally before walking away and pulling the leg of a small statue. As the wall to their side changed to open a stairway, she said smiling widely,
"Yes my lady! Let's go somewhere else!"

Right now Adam and Jace were underground walking together with Glare. While walking, Glare glanced at Adam before asking,
"May I ask who this gentleman is my lady..?"
Smiling and blushing at the thought of introducing Adam, she coughed lightly before responding,
"This is my Master, Adam."
As she completed her words, Glare was shocked to see Adam transforming from a boy with black hair and grey eyes to a handsome young man with silver hair and glistening purple eyes. Her face became extremely hot suddenly, however as if noticing something, her entire face turned to anger as she glared at Adam.
"He is a human..! What are you doing with this disgusting piece of meat my lady..!? And master..!?Could it be..did you do something to my lady..!?"
Although he thought she was being unreasonable, he still didn't respond to her words as Glare heard a voice filled with anger and wrath as she felt her whole body becoming heavy.
"I will only say this once. He is someone I chose. or are you perhaps saying I am an idiot...? If not shut up and listen before saying something you will regret forever...!"
Now Glare was shocked. Why did her lady choose to side with this human over her..!? Jace began explaining what happened after her escape. When the part of teaching in a human academy was heard, Glare frowned. However she decided to hear all of the explanations.
After a whole lot of words, Jace sighed. Glare then looked at Adam like a scared lamb as she asked, "Y-youngest Magic King...?"
Adam nodded while Jace shrugged her shoulders in defeat. "I know it's very hard to believe. And what I said before about being a servant is something I chose for myself. He didn't even know about it. When I explained it, he even asked me to reconsider. However this is what I want. I won't take any words of rejection from anyone...!"
Glare was now in pickle. She asked, "Then what about the throne..?"
"I am thinking of giving up my right to the succession to Lucia."
Her words made Glare widen her eyes as she asked, "So it's true that her highness Lucia is alive..?"
Jace nodded. Then she said, "The reason we are here is to save her. So try to get along with him. Although he can do it without any real difficulties, I wanted to be the one to finish everything."
"How can you say something so easily my lady..? Even if he is a Magic King, he can't defeat that traitor. You know he defeated your father who was a veteran amongst other Magic Kings. So how can a young and inexperienced Magic king defeat him..?"
"I know what you are trying to say. Even if he can't do it alone, we have Trump cards which can promise victory. So you don't have to worry about fighting him. What we need is information. We need to find where she is. So, Adam, did you sense something..?"
Adam shook his head and said with a serious face, "It seems Lucia is indeed captured for this ceremony. But there is no presence of anyone with the same blood as you, or features similar to you in this whole city."
His voice was confident. However Glare was dumbfounded as she asked, "How come you know that when you haven't even seen anything other than this shop and what you saw on your way..?"
He then pointed at his eyes which shone with a golden light but in a runic design on his eyes, "My eyes are pretty good. There is nothing in this world that can hide from my eyes."
Glare gasped. Although she felt that his eyes were dangerous as the light element was a dangerous weapon against vampires. The color of his eyes made it more hard to look straight at him. However she also felt like that eyes were pulling her closer to an endless abyss of her desires. She suddenly touched her own eyes.
Seeing this, Adam understood, her eyes seem to be special too. Probably similar to his, but with less efficiency.
"She isn't here...? Then where could she be..?"
This time the one to answer was Glare.
"Maybe he took lady Lucia there..? I heard something about a ceremony..? If it's the ceremony of a royalty, then they need to go there."
Her words made Jace open her mouth as she began thinking that she's an idiot. Not knowing what they were talking about, Adam asked,
"What is this place..?"
"It's the temple of Vampire Ancestor. It is said that our Ancestor was a different vampire from the rest of us. Even the bloodline of Lady Jaccel isn't strong enough to be on the same level as him. It is also said that, his words were like thunder cracking and made the world of the vampire kind tremble...!"
Surprisingly, the one to answer Adam was Glare as she said this. Her words were strong as Jace thought, why didn't she know something like this..? Then shocking both Jace and Glare for different reasons, Adam muttered.
"A Primordial Vampire or Progenitor...?"
Jace was shocked because, even though she was a vampire, it was her first time hearing something like Primordial Vampire or Progenitor.
Glare was shocked because even she, who's part of the royal bloodline didn't know it before someone told her. Now a human was telling the same...?
"Where did you hear it..?" Glare asked with a questioning look. This time Adam was angry as he said, "I am not answering you Ms.Pearl. From the first time we met, you have been talking to me like an enemy. And after I ignored it, you are interrogating me like a criminal..?"
Hearing this, Glare's face became ugly. However Jace said, "This time it's your fault again Glare. Adam is a very calm and composed person. I told you. You shouldn't treat him like that. Just like you respect me, there is a least amount of respect you have to show him."
Glare could only sigh. Then bowing her head to Adam she said, "I apologize Mr. Adam." Adam however said,
"Please raise your head Ms Pearl. As you are someone important to Jace, I don't really mind if you want to treat me badly. However you should try to be a little considerate of others feelings."
Though she felt he was very kind from his words, she still was skeptical about being the friend of a human. Knowing what she was thinking, Adam said with a smile,
"You don't have to worry too much, Ms. Pearl. I won't say that you have to be my friend. Just don't think that I am like other humans. I am not particularly a fan of war and others. In fact I think I like to get to know other races better. Of course I am not going to force anyone. Just saying. You can just ignore me when we are like this."
She nodded with a neutral face. Jace sighed seeing this. She then said,
"We have to go there. If I am right, the ceremony must be planned for tomorrow. So we have to go and find Lucia before things become too troublesome."
Saying so, Jace nodded to Glare. Glare said, "With this, we can get to the other continent within the least amount of time. But the only problem is that, it can only be used by vampires." her gaze was now on Adam. Knowing what she was talking about, Adam smiled only. Seeing this, Glare only nodded before escorting them to a path that looked like a steep cave. To its entrance, there was a black fog-like thing moving around.
"This is transportation magic invented by our ancestors. Of course you didn't know about this my lady. This was a secret only learned by the people trusted by the king to handle the defense of the entire vampire race if there was an attack."
Although as Glare said, she was surprised she didn't know, but nodded since it was the good of her kind.
"Upon standing on top of the fog, we have to activate blood magic art - transport." As she knew only vampires were capable of using blood magic, she doubted if this human can actually help them. As she already explained it, Glare stared at Adam. Seeing this he said smilingly,
"Can you show me the magic first..?" As it was his first time encountering such a problem, he wanted to see if he could find something from their activation. Since she knew the truth about blood magic, she decided to do just that cause he can't use it anyways.
As Adam was looking at her with intrigue, Glare stepped on the fog before thin lines of blood red threads covered everything under the waist. Then making Adam widen his eyes, a blood red magic circle appeared under the fog. Capturing the entire magic circle in an instant after snapping out of it, Adam began analysing it inside his mind.
It was a magic circle with blood red color. There were four circles. One small near the centre and other three bigger, but close to each other to the end. There were four diamond shaped signs around the outer circle. Joining the edge of these diamond shaped signs, there was
Although, he didn't understand the meaning behind the magic circle, he learned it right after. Then seeing Glare returning, he smiled before saying to Jace.
"Wait here. I will go and open a gate." Although she could just follow him, she wanted Glare to know how great he is. So she nodded. Hearing the words 'Gate' Glare don't know what to ask.
However as she was thinking about this, she saw him stepping on the fog. To her horror, she saw him snapping his fingers and in an instant a magic circle that was familiar to her appeared under him.
"Th-this...!" She could only stammer after the shock. As she was questioning herself, her face changed , when she saw the human just changed as his whole features made her heart beat more fast. His hair was still silver and eyes amethyst. However, his ears, became rounded and pointed. The air around him has also changed so much that she felt like he was a completely different person. Then she heard her lady say,
"You probably wouldn't believe me when I said this. Adam is not a normal human. He can change to a variety of races at will."
Glare felt like she was hearing her lady saying something stupid. How can someone change their race...? She knows it is possible to change humans into vampires by making them blood servants. However the aura excluding him denied her thoughts about him being a servant. But her mouth was opening and closing like a dead fish when she saw his figure disappear just as the magic circle shone and covered his entire body with the red blood threads.
