Young master Damien's pet

Chapter 258 Deaths in exam- Part 2



So long as Damien knew about councilman Creed, the man had business with the higher members of the council but it wasn't everyone, just a few chosen ones which some of the considered it to be a privilege. People whom he could make use of. Damien had been invited to join the meetings which were held but he hardly had time for other people. He had other important things to do than play fetch like a loyal dog with an older vampire who was of the third generation.

Wanting to hear more about the incident that took place from his own mouth, Damien asked, "I am sorry for your loss. Might you know what happened in there because councilmen usually don't interfere with the examination that goes on? To have the man dead was quite some shock for myself."

"Yes, Oliver was one of the hard-working men in the department. It is a great loss. At least we know two of the candidates survived," answered the man to have Damien nodding in response, "But did you notice something?"

Damien gave out a quizzical look as if not knowing what the councilman was trying to say with the way he looked at him. It appeared that it wasn't just him who had caught on to the different kind of deaths that was handed down to the people who had visited the snow mansion. There were three types of death that took place which wasn't caused by one or two-person but by more than three people.

Lord Nicholas had already mentioned and given out the order on how he would personally speak to Lady Vivian on what happened and to give her time as she might have been still in trauma over what happened. The number of possibilities on what might have happened intrigued him to have his brain working on thinking what might have happened.

"The dead men you mean?" asked Damien, his head tilting in question.

Councilman Creed looked around, making sure no one was around them and far away. Dropping his voice several octaves down, he said, "Don't you think it is funny how a mere human, who is a woman happened to come out alive while the people who were vampires and pureblooded vampires had died a horrible death. The girl is suspicious and she comes from the side of one of the councilman,"

"She must be well trained then. After all, Duke Leonard has always been a smart man in the exams or on the field. I doubt he would offer the council anyone who would not be helpful here. He must have known she would survive. Or it was pure luck. There was another man too. The one who speaks of ghosts."

The man laughed, a loud manly laugh before clearing his throat, "I don't know what Rueben was thinking by having him assigned to the council. By his own words, he admitted that he was hiding in the cupboard for more than a whole day," he shook his head and sighed in disappointment.

"The Lady who passed appears to be talented. To kill someone takes a lot of courage," Damien said, noticing the flicker in the man's eyes.

"It makes me doubtful that a dainty woman could do it. Are you sure you didn't find anything unusual? I am sure we can run a thorough search on her," offered councilman Creed. Of course. To think the man would have not heard the whisper about the alignment of stars would be naive to think. He was on to what was going on.

"That won't be necessary," at the same time the head council appeared through the doors, heading to where they were to ask,

"You men seem to be busy here hustling," said Reuben whose office right at the corner of the ballot boxes that were placed to have them reviewed by the higher council.

Both Damien and Creed bowed their head to show respect to the higher councilman. Damien smiled looking up at Rueben, "We were speaking about the examination and how nice it is to have a woman work in the council. After all, it would let one have more than one perspective," Rueben nodded his head.

"Lady Vivian showed courage in the examination. We will have to see how she works under Lionel and Leonard's team. Councilman Creed, I had something to discuss with you on the same matter. Barron spoke about you falling short of a man," the head councilman took Creed from there, walking into his office while leaving Damien standing there with the files which he finally pushed into the metal boxes.

Thinking back about the two days, Damien knew something was going on and it was more than what he and had found out until. It was like a series of secrets that were hidden to link to one main thing.

Surely, with the way people had died and three different kinds of deaths out of which two had been not normal.

He got them wrong. There was the fourth type of murder.

The possibilities with the bite marks, one was the pureblooded vampire, then the human who had killed other men. If the ghost really existed like a phantom which would turn to third type and the fourth which led to the lady. He wrote down in the report that it was self-defense where she had killed him by her own hands but Damien had never seen a person die in such fashion. He knew there was something more to the story.

It was possible that Lady Vivian who was being protected by Duke Leonard and having Lord Nicholas' help was one of the stars crossed being like Penelope who had some sort of ability. It was because the families they lived with had been subjected to corruption. Did the black witches have a premonition but had attacked not knowing who had received the ability?

The matter linked to the Adam's house making him wonder if Belle Adams was the same as the other two girls or if the corruption was purely coincidental.
