Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 228 A Superior Being?!



,m Cedric was dying to ask Dominique for his reward but he just controlled himself as he didn't want to look desperate in the eyes of Dominique.

He might think that Cedric was just after the rewards. So it was best not to talk about it for now. Besides, he knew that Dominique would stick to his words. He would still grant his wish no matter what.

"What do you wanna talk about, my King?" Cedric asked Dominique politely. He poured some wine into their glasses. He gave one to Dominique.

Dominique drank his wine in one gulp, his brows frowning. He still couldn't stop thinking about Kira and Marceline.

"Though we solved one problem by finding my missing daughter, another problem arises." Dominique heaved a deep sigh, pouring another wine into his glass.

"What problem?" Cedric cautiously asked him. He wondered if Dominique already found out about Dylan.

'Don't tell me he already learned about the death of his son, Dylan? Or does he think Dylan is missing?' Cedric became a little bit anxious as until now they failed to find Dylan. They didn't know if he was still alive or not.

'If he is alive, then he should have warned his parents already. Seeing how Dominique is still trusting me, I guess Dylan hasn't approached him yet. Maybe he is really dead.' Cedric started to speculate things about Dylan's current whereabouts.

Little did he know, the father and son already met each other tonight. Dylan also informed Serena about Cedric's evil scheme. But the werewolf prince was still unable to inform his father about that failed assassination attempt.

Cedric was lost in his deep thoughts when Dominique shared his concern with him.

"I saw him… someone who looks like my sworn enemy, the former Vampire King…"

Cedric's interest was piqued upon hearing that. He hadn't met the Vampire King before. Kira had been put to his deep slumber and disappeared already even before Cedric was born in the Kingdom of Phantasia.

"What Vampire King? I thought he was dead. Is he alive?" He asked, confusion resurfacing in his eyes.

Dominique drank his wine once again before answering Cedric's query.

"I'm not sure yet. But I have my suspicions. This is the reason why I want to talk to you. Can you investigate and look into his identity? I want to know if he is indeed the Vampire King." Dominique wanted to rely on Cedric as he had proven his capability after finding his daughter.

Dominique would feel more at ease if Cedric would be the one handling this mission.

"What is his name? I will make a move tomorrow." Cedric's voice was filled with determination. This was his chance to make Dominique trust him more.

"Kira Alaric… That's his name. As funny as it may seem… but he also has the same name as the Vampire King."

Cedric was stupefied upon hearing that name. 'Kira Alaric? Don't tell me… it's that guy.'

Cedric was thinking about the bloodsucker who ruined his plan over and over again. He was indeed a powerful vampire. But what? He might be the Vampire King?! Dominique's greatest rival?!

Cedric didn't know what to say at that moment. He couldn't utter a word as he was still trying to digest everything. The possibility of Kira being the Vampire King Dominique knew was enough to shake his whole-being. All along he was fighting the most powerful creature in the Kingdom of Phantasia.

'Damn! How I wish it's not him…'

"Hey, are you alright? Is there something wrong?" Dominique was puzzled when he noticed the changes in Cedric's expression. He looked surprised and absentminded.

"I'm sorry about that, My King. I just got overwhelmed knowing that the previous Vampire King might still be alive. But don't worry, I will do my best to investigate this." Cedric was able to conceal his true emotions by masking his face with a faint smile.

Deep inside, Cedric was very tense right now. If Kira was the Vampire King then it would really be difficult to defeat him by himself. Furthermore, Kira still had an advantage since he learned his plan of taking over the throne. He couldn't tell Dominique the truth, afraid that Kira would try to reveal everything to Dominique, despite the fact they were rivals.

'Shit! Things got more complicated. I must find the truth. Is that Kira really the Vampire King?' Cedric clenched his fists secretly.

"Okay, Cedric. I will not stay long here. This is all I want to talk about you. And about your rewards, let's discuss this by tomorrow. For now, I have to go to my villa and accompany my wife and my daughter. We have a lot of catching up to do." Dominique's unhappiness towards Serena had disappeared. He just wanted to focus on reuniting his family.

'I wonder if Dylan is already there at my Villa.' Dominique thought to himself before saying goodbye to Cedric. Dominique left the Triple W Headquarters in a hurry.

When Cedric was left alone in his office, he opened another bottle of wine. He kept pacing back and forth across his room. He couldn't get over the possibility that Kira was a superior being. He knew the story of how the former Vampire King defeated his kind– the entire werewolf clan. He was a frightening enemy.

'What should I do if he is the Vampire King? Should I just make an alliance with him to defeat Dominique?' Cedric immediately shook his head, disregarding his own idea. He knew how much Kira hated the werewolves. And he already told Cedric that he would never make an alliance with werewolves– a traitor clan!

Meanwhile, Serena and Stella were on the way to Silvano's villa. Serena made sure to send a message to Dylan, asking him to go to the Silvano Villa and meet his twin sister.

Dylan had just finished dropping Lyca at her apartment when he received his mother's message.

[ "Son, come to our villa. We've finally found your twin sister. She is the one. She has the birthmark!" ]

Just like Dominique, Dylan didn't know what he should feel upon reading the good news. Was he disappointed because it was not Marceline?
