When the witches finally realized what kind of farce they had created, they looked at each other awkwardly with perhaps a hint of fear in their hearts. They never expected to risk so much to rescue Hessiana just to screw up her big plan. They had even run the risk of giving away the hibernation spot of an ancient vampire. Hessiana's anger may not be the most terrible thing; it was the wrath of the Blood Clan that the witches could not afford to face. To the Blood Clan that placed particular importance to social hierarchy and seniority, a 10,000-year-old ancestor had to be held in unimaginably high regard. If those reclusive Blood Clan members learned that it was they who drew the demon hunters to the "tomb" of their ancestor, the witches were afraid that none of them would get to live another day.
The witches still had no idea of Vivian's notoriety—the pauper of the Blood Clan.
