"Azriel, it is time to cause some Chaos,"
Ithania announced as her icy blue eyes shined brightly.
"Heh. Chaos? I like that word.
C'mon, tell me, what are we going to do?" Azriel questioned with excitement.
However, a sly smile appeared on Ithania's face as she replied,
"Start reading the book you were reading first, I will tell everything in front of teacher Lilia and Lady Luminia after you are done studying."
Azriel's lips twitched in frustration, he then glared at Ithania and,
"You little…"
"Hah? Me what? Go study, if Lady Luminia learns that you are slacking off, you will miss another training session."
Ithania smiled.
Actually, she wanted to discuss her plans as soon as possible, however, she knew it would affect Azriel's studying.
Initially, she wanted to hide the matter and tell him after he was done, however, she was unable to control her excitement and blurted it out loud.
She needed some self-control as well…
"I really want to strangle your neck right now, book worm!" Azriel complained.
"Oh? Do you really? Ooohh, I am so scared~~" Ithania chuckled playfully.
"Uggh… if only you weren't my friend. I would have killed you!" Azriel groaned.
A small smile appeared on Ithania's face when she heard him. She then shook her head and muttered,
"Don't worry, study for a few hours first. I am sure you will like what I am going to tell you, just wait for a little,"
"Whatever." Azriel snorted and then started reading his book.
Ithania smiled and then she immersed herself into the book she was reading as well.
Time passed by quickly, from blabbering like children to reading calmly like scholars, the change in the two of them was really sudden.
Soon, 4 hours passed by and,
"HAAAH! I AM DONE!"
Azriel shouted out loud as he stood up from his chair and raised his hands into the air. Pure happiness was seen on his face.
Ithania, who was engrossed in the book she was reading was shocked because of his sudden act, she then glanced at the clock and noticed that exactly 4 hours have passed ever since Azriel had come here.
He did not sit for even a minute longer.
"You really hate reading huh… as expected of a brute…"
However, this time, Azriel didn't reply.
He just quickly grabbed her book, placed a bookmark on the page she was reading and closed it.
Then, he grabbed Ithania's hand and started walking.
"We are going to my teacher's room to discuss your plan."
"A brute indeed…"
Ithania nodded to herself, however, she didn't resist.
She was excited about revealing her plans as well.
A few minutes later, the two of them were outside Luminia's room and Azriel knocked on the door.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Teacher, it's me and Ithania. We need to talk to you about something."
"Enter."
Azriel and Ithania then entered the room and Azriel smiled.
"Teacher is here as well, now tell me what you wanted to say."
"Lady Luminia, can you call my Teacher here as well?" Ithania requested.
Luminia frowned, wondering what the two of them were doing.
However, since she knew how intelligent and mature Ithania was, she predicted that she must have her own reasons and nodded.
"Lilia, come to my room."
She called, of course, it wasn't as simple as it looked. Luminia's voice had echoed all over her mansion.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
1 minute later, a knock was heard and, Lilia entered.
"What can I help you with, Lady Luminia?" Lilia questioned after a short bow.
"These children want to discuss with you and me," Luminia answered.
"Hmm?" Lilia frowned and she glanced at Ithania and Azriel.
"Don't look at me like that, it's her." Azriel quickly shook his head and pointed at Ithania.
"Teacher, Lady Luminia, do you remember the report Azriel got from that Grand Master Stage Cultivators?" Ithania started with a question.
"Yes, we do." Lilia nodded.
"I read that report and found something very interesting." Ithania smiled.
"What is it?"
"We saved 250+ plus vampires and brought them here, didn't we?"
"Yes,"
"Do you know how humans interpreted that action?" Ithania questioned with a smile.
"How?"
"A Viscount named Heath Hardwick assumed that the one who 'saved' the vampires was another human Viscount, Alger Bannermane."
"Huh? Why would he think that a human saved the vampires?" Azriel questioned with a frown.
"Heh. That's because you killed their army that had an Advance Stage Cultivator. According to them, Slave Vampires do not have that power, and the Viscount deduced that the person behind this incident is his enemy, Viscount Alger, who is trying to kill his men and place the blame on the Vampires.
Not only that, the villages that were annihilated by you before, even that blame is placed on Viscount Alger, saying that it was his plan all along.
As for the Vampire Slaves he had 'saved', Viscount Alger believes that they are all killed."
A frown appeared on Azriel's face.
"So they are underestimating us…"
He did not like that at all.
"Yes, they are, however, it is a good thing for us."
Ithania however, was liking the situation more and more.
"Why is it good for us?" Azriel questioned.
"Let me tell you what happened after Viscount Heath blamed Viscount Alger for all those crimes," Ithania muttered.
Azriel glanced at her with a focused gaze.
This has definitely grabbed his attention.
"After Viscount Heath blamed Viscount Alger, he used his personal army and increased the security around his region.
Especially in the farmlands, he believed that if Viscount Alger acts, vampires will be the best scapegoats, so Viscount Alger would target them for sure.
For the first month, nothing happened.
Due to this, Viscount Heath got anxious.
Remember, he has lost 50 soldiers.
How could he allow Viscount Alger to get a one-up against him?
Thinking that, he attacked a village that was under Viscount Alger's territory, and the village he attacked wasn't a normal village, it was a village that had quite a few cultivators, and all of those cultivators were Viscount Alger's men.
Of course, he then blamed it on Vampires as around 100 plus vampires, that were working in the farmland near that village vanished."
"What happened to those vampires?" Azriel questioned as he narrowed his eyes.
Ithania's smile disappeared as well and she answered,
"That wasn't mentioned in the report, however, I believe they were killed."
"…"
Azriel didn't say anything, however, his eyes turned cold.
"Of course, Viscount Alger wasn't an Idiot, he had his men search for traces and quickly linked the massacre with Viscount Heath.
Since that day, the two Viscounts are at war with each other. Both of them have ordered their men to patrol their territories.
And the people we met while we were out hunting?
That Nash wasn't lying, they were patrolling, not to search us vampires, but the other humans."
Ithania informed with a sly smile.
Azriel nodded, he was very surprised by what he learned.
Just how dumb can these humans be?
Luminia, however, didn't find it shocking.
Humans did not know about her presence, those who did find out by mistake or a fluke have already left this world.
In human eyes, vampires are weak and are unable to do anything.
Of course, no one would be able to calculate the presence of a monster like Azriel.
Therefore, what that Viscount Heath thought was logical.
Of course, attacking the other viscount's territory wasn't a very wise move.
But Luminia didn't care.
Lilia, however, was different.
She knew her disciple, she could tell that Ithania was thinking something,
"So why are you telling all of this to us? This isn't just an amusing story, is it?"
Ithania's smile widened as she answered,
"Of course not."
She then turned towards Azriel and questioned.
"Do you remember when you said you wanted to recruit more vampires?"
"Yes, I did but you denied it saying it might alert others and it might bring harm to the vampires..." Azriel replied.
"Yes, I did say that before, however," Ithania's smile widened.
"I now have a perfect way to recruit more Vampires."
"How?"
"Heh, Create Chaos."
Ithania answered.
This time, even Luminia's eyes changed.
She was interested to know what this little girl has in her mind as well.
Ithania's ring then shined and a map appeared in her hand.
She then walked towards Luminia's bed and placed the map there.
"This is the map of our Vampire Kingdom after we were backstabbed. The star shows where we are, Lady Luminia's mansion. (See the map in Paragraph comments)
Except for the Previous Royal Capital, or what they call it the Quietus Ruinous Land and Forsaken Mountains, all other places are now territories of other races."
Azriel narrowed his eyes in hatred,
"You do not need to tell me that, I already know it."
Ithania glanced at Azriel and shook her head.
"Calm down. The reality won't change if you don't hear it. Accept what has happened and moved on."
Luminia instructed.
"Yes, teacher." Azriel nodded and calmed himself.
"Continue," Luminia then turned towards Ithania and nodded.
Ithania nodded back and continued,
"So what I am planning to do is…"
