Chapter 12 - INJURED GUARDS.

The Imperial castle's library is absolutely breathtaking! It's filled with rows upon rows of towering bookshelves, each one packed with ancient tomes and priceless manuscripts. The room itself is grand and majestic, with high ceilings adorned with intricate chandeliers that cast a warm, inviting glow. The smell of old books fills the air, adding to the atmosphere of knowledge and history. It's a place where you can get lost for hours, surrounded by the wisdom of centuries.

Amelia finds herself in the magnificent library, her heart pounding with anticipation. She enters the grand library, with its towering bookshelves and the soft glow of candlelight illuminating the room. The smell of aged parchment and ink fills the air.

Amelia's eyes scan the countless rows of books, their spines adorned with titles from various eras and genres. She's on a quest for a book that holds the key to her dream, but she's not quite sure what she's looking for. The weight of the unknown hangs in the air as she begins her search.

As she walks along the aisles, her fingertips gently graze the spines of the books, hoping to stumble upon the one that will unlock the answers she seeks. The silence of the library is broken only by the sound of her soft footsteps echoing through the room, adding to the sense of solitude and anticipation.

Amelia's eyes catch sight of a book with an ornate cover, its golden letters catching the candlelight. Something about it draws her in, as if it's calling out to her. With trembling hands, she reaches out and pulls the book from the shelf, feeling a surge of excitement and curiosity.

She opens the book, its pages delicate and worn from years of use. As she flips through the pages, her eyes widen with wonder, for within those pages, she finds clues and hints that resonate with her dream. Each word and illustration seems to whisper secrets and possibilities, leading her to the answers she seeks.

Amelia realizes that the power of knowledge and discovery lies within the walls of the castle's library. She continues her search, ready to uncover the truth hidden within the pages of the books.

Karl and Daniel find themselves in a quiet spot, away from the hustle and bustle of the castle. As they walk, their footsteps echoing softly, Karl notices a change in Daniel's demeanor. Sensing something is amiss, Karl stops in his tracks, his eyes fixed on Daniel.

Daniel turns to face Karl, his head bowed in a respectful gesture. Karl's curiosity piques, and he asks Daniel what has happened. With a grave expression, Daniel begins to explain. He reveals that...

"There has been an attack at the southern border, the very point where the southern and northern vampire kingdoms meet."

Karl's gaze darkens as he absorbs this information. He wonders about the implications of such an attack and what it could mean for the stability of the kingdoms. Concern etches his face as he realizes the gravity of the situation.

In a hushed tone, Daniel elaborates, informing Karl that the men guarding the borders were left injured, but none was killed. The news weighs heavily on Karl's mind, and he contemplates the motives behind this attack. Questions swirl in his thoughts, and he wonders if this is the beginning of something more sinister.

Karl's eyes locked with Daniel's. "You're taking me to where those men are laid right now," Karl said firmly, his voice carrying a sense of urgency. "I need to see the extent of their injuries. It might give us a clue about the source of this attack."

Daniel nodded in understanding. "I'll lead the way." With that, they set off, moving swiftly through the dimly lit corridors of the castle.

Their footsteps echoed softly as they made their way towards the injured men. The tension in the air was palpable, both men aware of the gravity of their mission. As they walked, Daniel in a hushed tone discussed his theories and suspicions about the attackers.

Upon reaching the vampires hospital for injured guards, they were met with the sight of wounded guards lying on beds, their injuries a stark reminder of the violence that had unfolded at the border. Karl's eyes scanned the room, taking in the severity of the wounds, the pain etched on the faces of the injured men.

Karl and Daniel continued their conversation, they discussed the possible motives behind the attack and the potential culprits. As they observed the injured guards, Karl's mind raced, piecing together the clues. He knew one thing for sure and that is, the attack wasn't instigated by the Northern Vampire Kingdom.
