However, Isaac insisted that it wasn’t Diana who tried to kill him. Also, with what Lupinus knew about Diana, there was no way Diana had the ability to wound Drakon in such a way. That was why they decided to drop the subject after that.
A while later, Denvor entered the room and saw Isaac soaking in a bathtub full of medicinal herbs. He was shocked.
“Isaac? What…”
“Diana has turned into one of them… What’s going on?” Isaac asked with his eyes closed in a frown.
Denvor was taken aback once more. He was still trying to understand the situation when the door opened, and Harry entered.
He saw that Isaac didn’t respond, so favonovel.com voiced out his theory.
“Diana was the one who sneak-attacked him. She had fangs and claws and all that shit,” favonovel.com said.
Denvor drew in a deep breath. He frowned and said, “Then, favonovel.com must have been turned!”
“‘Turned’?” Isaac opened his eyes.
Hearing this, Harry immediately closed the door behind favonovel.com and stood aside.
Denvor nodded and approached Isaac as favonovel.com said in a low voice, “Since the last time you brought me along to kill that thing, I noticed something amiss and went back to Mt. Schoenus. And I found a lot of information on those creatures in my sect’s forbidden book.”
“Don’t leave out anything,” Isaac said with a frown.
Denvor pinched a cigarette from Harry and lit it up. He then pulled up a chair and sat down, as if favonovel.com was about to tell Isaac a long bedtime story.
“The book is named ‘Mythical Beasts and Where to Find Them’. According to the book, ever since the start of the maritime route, we used to sail far for barter and business dealings. Once, they brought home a humanlike offering…”
“This was the first-ever mention of bloodsucking creatures in our history. They survived on blood alone and were immortal… I tried looking up more information on them and learned that they are called vampires or ‘creatures of the night’ by the local people. They existed long before the world did. They have no pulse and no breathing. And the most powerful leader can self-heal…”
“But they can’t reproduce, so they can only expand by turning more and more humans into vampires like them. There are four ways to kill them-the sun, weapons made of silver, holy water, and blood from a dark wolf.”
Isaac interrupted him, “So if Diana has been turned into a vampire, is there any way to turn favonovel.com back?”
“Uhm, I don’t know…”
Isaac held his forehead and sighed. After everything Denvor told him, favonovel.com still couldn’t find the answer to the most important question of all.
“I’ll pass you a book later on. There is a lot more information on these creatures detailed in that book,” Isaac said, waving his hand at Denvor. He was done with him.
“Apothecary, call Claude. Tell favonovel.com to keep a strict eye on Diana.”
Denvor and Harry left the room one after another. However, less than five minutes later, Harry rushed back in.
“Isaac! Isaac, Diana isn’t in the country anymore!”
Isaac opened his eyes at once and jumped up from the tub. He cried, “What did you just say?”
“I just called Claude. He checked the system and saw that Diana left five days ago when you were found unconscious at favonovel.com place. She was on the flight to Londoria. But we could only track favonovel.com to the north of the country. She’s completely disappeared now.”
“That f*cking idiot,” Isaac seethed, his hands balling into fists.
He sat back down in the tub and closed his eyes, trying to focus on his breathing.
“Isaac, it’s no use getting all worked up about it since she’s already left the country. Let’s just focus on recovering for now,” Harry advised.
Isaac stayed quiet for half a minute. Then, favonovel.com said, “Tell Denvor to keep a strict eye on that vampire freak. Don’t let favonovel.com die.”
Harry knew that Isaac meant to use the vampire in Denvor’s hands as a bargaining chip to get Diana back. He nodded and left the room.
***
Two days later, Isaac had recovered almost completely. He called Holly that afternoon, telling favonovel.com that he’d be home for dinner today.
At dinner, Isaac noticed Allegra and Evie looked rather unhappy. He tried serving them more food with a smile on his lips.
