George set the human back near where he’d found him. His mind missing his time with George and his wallet a little fuller. George fed from him and made sure the male human didn’t suffer unnecessarily for being his meal. The money wasn’t much, but the blood meant survival for Adriana and himself. Once the human was safely back among his kind, George moved on to do the same thing himself. He entered a small social club. There weren’t many of these and from the outside, it looked like a private men’s club. Which it was, for male vampires, that is. With a front where a few male humans could smoke, drink, read, and converse with each other. But there was an entirely different space for George’s kind where they could do the same thing. It all had to be done quietly. With prohibition in action until a few years ago. The idea of men drinking with each other kept most of these humans keen on the public, not being aware of what went on within these walls. Oth

“The Crown Princess actually tried to hold an audience while her father lay recovering from the poison. She didn’t truly mourn her mother or sister at all. During the audience, she had her guards force Princess Adriana to stand before her and tried to get her to incriminate herself in the poisoning attempt and murders. Now this is where it gets interested. Not only did Princess Adriana not incriminate herself, she accused Princess Tatiana. Now, after this, it all goes downhill for Princess Tatiana, and I think she will not recover from this when it gets out.” The accuracy of the rumours impressed George. He couldn’t help but wonder if Edger had something to do with them. It seemed the rumours fit together so well, like someone went around with a list of connected rumours and told different ones to various people to see which one’s stuck, which vampire couldn’t hold their tongue, and then sat back to watch the public learn of them and feed into the search for the truth. “Well, if you

George listened within the darkened private club. Two older vampires comparing notes about what they knew about the situation and how much they had it wrong.“That happened after someone left a dead cat within her private suites for her to find when she arrived at the NARC’s new facility. Clearly, someone was out to kill her before they attacked the rest of the family. Someone murdered her personal lady’s maid, and they left her body in the sun. Whoever did it left a hungry dog in her private offices. I suspect they framed her for all of this because she wouldn’t die. Now, someone else has come forward to say what? The emperor’s private secretary worked with Princess Adriana’s bodyguard. They what? Suspected the two worked together to formulate a plan to release Princess Adriana from the dungeons.” He made his tone and inflection match the inflammatory nature of his gossip mongering. “Really. That is what they are saying? The emperor’s secretary helping the renegade

“I swear right now I need a tally board and a journal to keep all of this straight. How do you keep up with this all and how have you found time to process all this information because, clearly, you’ve been researching these rumours?” That George had to agree with this vampire. The first vampire appeared to have gone through all of these rumours with a fine-tooth comb and pieced everything together. That wasn’t a simple thing to do in George’s estimation. He’d been struggling with this for months himself. But now, as he listened, George could hear the same things he’d come to find over the last months. Two separate people coming to the same conclusions and one with more information than the other gave him hope Ana might be able to return to vampiric society at some point along with him. “I agree with you. It’s taken me weeks to piece this together, and it still doesn’t fully fit together. I suspect there’s more information that the rumours don’t address right now.”

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Five- Emperor Franco Centauri Gervais- 164 yrs old Franco sat on his throne, finally back to his old self and feeling better because he threw caution finally to the wind. Of course, he found it trying to listen to their whining and excuses. But the more the people on his list spoke, the longer the list became as they revealed other guilty parties. He really didn’t care anymore, beyond he didn’t want to deal with Tatiana’s mess. So it connected many of her people to the Blood Traitor’s Network. All he could see there being any way that she wasn’t aware of their affiliation or had any other leaning herself. If her mind returned, she would have to face his questioning herself. They found enough things within her rooms to point to her involvement and told of how easily Blood Traitors could enter and exit her suite. Even with Franco’s suspicions were wrong, they came and went too easily from her private spaces to be anything l

“I come bearing news. My dear.” Edith Wolversen entered the house with a big smile on her face and a bottle of blood infused wine and a bottle of wine. “I see. What is it that has you so happy?” Ana asked, delighted with seeing Edith so happy coming back from the latest council sitting. “For one, Magnus is gone for a while. As you know, they recalled him to the Vampiric court. Word came down through the Mage Ambassador and I shouldn’t know any of it. But the rumour mill is as strong as ever. Somehow the Mage Ambassador found out about, you’re fleeing the dungeon and going into hiding. He thought it important enough to have his mate slip me the message during a friendly visit. They’ve sent Magnus for some kind of medical treatment. Now we’re still waiting to hear something official from the Vampiric Empire.” Edith poured them both glasses of wine and handed Ana her glass and toasted. “I know it was disturbing to

George, thankfully, wasn’t just a sword for hire. He’d made a hobby out of various things. One of which was leatherwork. He’d been using it to make a little money and Alpha Wolversen assisted him in discreetly selling it. The local area had a thriving tourist trade and George could now spend hours making very simple things for this. He’d been slowly saving the money that wasn’t used for their upkeep. The money that came from selling a few of the things he’d taken from Ana’s suite in the palace he’d invested for her, and he’d not touched that money. Rather, he had and had invested most of it into land or stocks that he’d been told would stand the test of time. George actually went through a connection who used an oracle for this. The person readily took predictions from a few oracles, and they combed the predictions looking for clues which would point in the direction of where safe investing would be. Then they’d look at prevailing opinions and trend

“I don’t know George. Truly, I can’t read anything into this. Technically, the way I see it is, there is no guarantee for either of us. It’s full of questionable phrases. I have to make the call for our safety rather than going home to meet our death. Until I see anything that says that my father won’t uphold any of the current or future charges.” Adriana sat in bed looking at a slip of folded newsprint. George brought the article with him when he returned home. It hadn’t been easy to gain it without being observed. Tearing out articles from printed material members were granted to read was poor form and considered rude. But George knew there wasn’t much call for this newspaper now as it was weeks old before he’d been able to get this copy. There was very little chance that someone would come looking for it. “You’re willing to hold out for nothing less than amnesty.” George felt relieved that he didn’t need to argue this point with Ana. Though he’d
