Alfred Pov:
How is the search of the rogues coming along? Have we been able to locate their hideout? I asked the spies that was sent to investigate.
We are truly sorry but they always find ways to evade us every time we are almost catching up to them. It is as if someone is already in on our every move.
This is rather frustrating, it has never been this difficult to apprehend them before now, what is happening?
I keep getting report of kidnappings from both Grimly kingdom and Moving Mountains kingdom, we are suppose to be the one of the higher authority and power and yet this people keep evading our grasp, as though someone powerful is protecting them.
I feel so useless and powerless right now. I cannot even protect my people, I cannot protect my loved ones.. what sort of leader am I?
No, This is not the time to break down. Not in front of these people looking up to me, I need to be strong.
Alright, it is fine. You all should not be discouraged, Just go back to your post and keep investigating. You all can leave now, Kaan you stay.
Kaan you wanted to discuss something with me. What is it?
Yes my liege, I wanted to tell you that the batch we sent to the moving mountain kingdom have been abducted.
Oh really, This is good news. After all our effort, this is a great turn of event. Guard the door, I think I will be indispose for a short while.

Where did you get this batch? They look to be in great condition. Especially this one, the bald headed man wearing a lab coat push me around as though he is examining a piece of meat. How did you get this one on a leach and he was not able to kill you all, he seem quite strong.
My lord, he actually put up quite a fight. But it seems there is something wrong with him, at a point we thought he was going to kill us all, only for him to get all weak all of a sunden.
Today is such a great day. His energy seem so pure, he belong to the White Haven Kingdom. What is he doing at the Grimly kingdom? The man ask while putting on me some kind of bracelet, I immediately I felt my body weakening.
My Lord, he must be one of those guards the prince has been sending to hunt us. They have really been a pain in our ass, but thanks to your protection, they were not able to catch us.
He is done for now anyways, he cannot escape from here no matter how powerful he is with that bracelet on. Put them in the cage.
Who are these people. Although there is no dead bodies in sight, I could still smell the stench of death all over these place.
Tell the others, they should stop the abductions for now. I will get busy for a while, so you all should go to the hideout and lay low until you receive further instructions.
Yes my lord. The man that brought us said, while leaving the room.
This is getting really frustrating, I don't know why master is being impossible. I could have finish this project already if only I could get a drop of the princess blood. But she keep putting it off, it's becoming suspicious. Is she hiding something from me.
The man that seem to be a doctor of some sort due to the coat he is wearing. This must be the man Shira was referring to as the evil doctor, The name fits perfectly. She forgot to add the fact that the man looks hideous.
The constant messing with black magic must be affecting him. if it has messed up his look this bad, then he must have little or nothing left of his soul. This man will soon be a vessel for an evil spirit, if he is not already is.
I need to see her now, I cannot keep being a failure. I am never a failure. He man seem to be already going mad. He look intently at something that looks like a gemstone on the table for quite a while. I have tried everything, nothing seems to be working, the only way to activate it is to get the princess blood. I need to let her understand, she need to get me her blood or else I will need to get it myself. The man keep talking to himself.
He stared at the gemstone once again, this time more intently. There is something different about his eyes. It looks dead, as though there is no life in it.
Where did I go? Ahhhh he screamed while holding his head. The frustration of being stuck on this must be messing with my brain. He said as though trying to convince himself, he is not going mad. He took the gem and wrap it in a cloth, he put it in his lab coat before opening the door and went out.
He must be meeting with the vampire, the one that look like Shira. The gemstone must be something important to them, If only I can get a hold of it. Although that seem impossible, he seem to be treating it as an extension of himself. There is no way am getting a hold of that easily and to make matter worse, he had to put this bracelet on my wrist.
The Annoying bracelet keep making me feel weak. I could have got rid of it if I were in my real body but this is just a puppet I could control with my mind. He has limitations.
This is one of my talent. I could evoke a being out of my sea of consciousness. I call them puppets. They could act on their own and could fight if they detect danger, At first they could only access one tenth of my power, but their acess of my power is becoming unstable recently as they seem to be able to draw more of my power. But the more they try to draw more power, the faster they get weak.
I need to find a way to get their location before it expires. They could only last 7days, it is already 6days since I called on this one. I have less than a day to get some information about this place.
I look at the three other people in the cage with me, they all seem to be drained of energy as they stare lifelessly in space. I guess the bracelet is affecting them really bad, it seem I am on my own in this.
I tried focusing all the energy I could gather to acess the power I needed to get rid of this bracelet. I need to get out of this cage so I could get some information about this place. If I can have any chance of doing that, then I need to first get rid of this bracelet.
This seem to be a futile effort.
