Hellbound With You-Chapter 900 In two days

Back in the front yard.

The conversation had yet to end. Despite the wariness and fear that were more than evident in the priestess' and her men's eyes, they still had yet to leave. It was obvious that they were now fearful of Alexander after his serious warnings, but it seemed that they were hellbent not to return to Viscarria empty handed.

It seemed as though they would rather try their luck here and die in Alexander's hands than return just like that. The priestess' devotion to her goal was truly unmatched that even death did not seem to be even enough to scare her. Well, every vampire knew that the vampire priestesses were always like this. And this priestess Vittoria was one of the most devoted ones that Alex had seen in his long life.

"Then I demand that the prince to reassure us that your words about him is true, Alexander." The priestess made her request in a more careful yet not too servile tone. Even though her words were obviously a demand, there was no way in hell she could speak with the great Alexander in any way other than a polite and respectful tone. Nevertheless, she still held her breath after making her request known. Knowing how Alexander's temper was, as well as the details to his past transgression, the priestess knew that he could just suddenly up and decide to attack them right now just for still being here and daring to stand up against him. "I demand for him to appear before us and tell us about his detailed plans and reassure us. We need at least that little bit of reassurance that he truly has a plan in going ahead with all this." she continued bravely, even though after seeing how Alexander's expression turned a little more unfriendly.

Clouds suddenly started to roll in and block off the bright silvery moonlight and made the entire atmosphere outside become a little ominous.

"You know how Zeke does not like revealing his plans to anyone. In fact, you… more than others should know how much he hates it, right?" Alex was still surprisingly calm.

The men behind him, especially Kai, were actually already preparing to calm him down. But they were more shocked at the nonchalance in Alex's tone and stance. It seemed as though that the man really was in a good mood tonight, which was rare considering that a bunch of uninvited people somewhat crashed his party.

"I know a way to make him talk." The priestess replied, looking absolutely confident that she could really make Zeke tell them the plans that he could not even breathe out to any of his inner circle of friends. "Just have him come out. Please." She added that last bit, hoping to make herself sound less demanding and more appealing.

Alex rubbed his jaw slowly as he regarded the priestess with slightly narrowed eyes, looking for all the world that he was seriously considering doing what she said. "Oh really? You really know of something that would be able to make him speak? I have a guess on that… Hmm…. you don't plan on blackmailing him with matters of Sebastian, are you?" after saying that, Alex's lips curled up in a sneer.

The guess Alex had mentioned seemed to hit right on the jackpot as the priestess's silence had indicated her shock and she no longer talked back anymore but just stood her ground.

The vampires behind Alex had their eyes stretched wide in shock. They had already learned just how important Sebastian was to Zeke. And here she was, their very own vampire priestess, who actually dared to use her knowledge of him to blackmail and make Zeke talk? They had not known that their priestess was such a suicidal type until now. They had only known her as the official of the highest ranking, only next to the king. That meant that she was at least the equivalent of a pope in the human government. The vampires respected her because she was a very important person to them. Apart from her visions, she was also the oldest vampire alive, well, with the exception of Alexander, that is.

Alex let out an amused chuckle. "You're really bold, priestess. I have to give that to you. But… oh well, if I remember correctly, you've always been bold. But this time… you might have pushed that boldness a little too far."

"We don't really have much of a choice, Alexander. And I don't mind being destroyed by you or him for this matter. I am willing to give up my insignificant life… if it were to be for the sake of my race. This is my job after all." The prophetess stated and then her expression became sullen. "Also… I would like to know how he would address one of the biggest problems that would happen once the rest of the vampires find out that he is gone. I've received an intel that some clans have already started to plan out their movements the moment they had confirmed that the prince will truly leave." And her brows furrowed. For the vampire prophetess to frown, that was truly a feat of something great.

"And what are those clans planning to do, if I may ask?" Alex prodded.

She sighed deeply after hearing Alex's question. "They are planning to regain their original vampiric strength again."

The prophetess' words had everyone go silent because they knew exactly what would happen if the vampires decided to do that. Just like back in the old times, before the modern law of vampires that Ezekiel had formed, there would be murders of humans. The vampires wanted to have the freedom to drink directly from the source – from humans again and consume fresh blood for their original strength to come back. And once they all start doing that again, the peaceful world as they knew it for now, would start to crumble and the relationship between humans and vampires would crumble into ashes.

"Your fear will not happen priestess." A deep voice echoed from behind that had everyone turning towards the double doors of Alex's mansion.

Ezekiel stepped out with Alicia in tow and hidden behind him. "Go back to the castle, Priestess. Then have everyone know that I'm going to get married in two days."
