The Great Vampire General is a Girl! - Chapter 92

Sooner or later, they would find out. But Valerie didn’t think it would happen so soon. Among Avalon, she knew that only Caesar Petrovsky had any information about her. Valerie was also sure that Gregovich didn’t expect this to happen. In her past life, Valerie had not only received information from Alex. She also liked to read newspapers and chat with many other knights.

So, the fact that she killed Gunther was a shock. Alexander couldn’t hide it, the look on his face tightened but he tried to look like it didn’t affect him. He had been acting like a god all along, as if he knew everything. Alex was not a snob. He taught wisdom and emphasized how a knight should hold his honor above all else.

But of course he wasn’t someone flawless. Gregovich thought everyone around him was not as smart as he was. He has thousands of valuable information in his head which was not easy for him to share even for Avalon. He who feels like a god thinks that he has to be responsible for the flow of time. He did not want to destroy history and that made him a person who was often wary.

“You said once that you once awakened the power of Apollon and killed someone strong, was that Gunther?” Investigate Alex. Valerie nodded. She wasn’t afraid. She didn’t mean to lie. She just didn’t tell it clearly.

“Oh my gosh, it turned out to be true. I have a hard time believing this, have you been pretending to be weak all this time? Is this an intelligence operation of Florentia? Am I right, Alex? This girl is hiding something!” Amelia spoke in a mocking tone.

“Pretending to be weak? No! I take this training seriously,” Valerie argued.

“Is that true? Then how did you, with your untapped skills like this, kill General Gunther?”

“That’s intelligence information that I can’t share with you guys,” Valerie shook her head firmly.

“Amelia, it’s okay..I know that her intention to join our training was not to spy. After all, we don’t share any important information with her. Since our powers are no longer so secretive,” Alex responded calmly. Even so, he no longer looked at Valerie with a friendly expression. He looks angry and disappointed. He regretted the death of his comrade, and why he could lose against a knight who lacked experience like Valerie.

“You’re too soft on him, sir! Just because she’s the wife of your favorite student, you shouldn’t be like this. Don’t you hold a grudge against her? Gunther is your friend!” Amelia shouted at him.

“Amelia! Calm down! I won’t kill her here! That was a war situation after all,” Alex said.

“I’m not willing to kill a knight who is still too weak, I want Valerie to reach the top before we can compete against each other,” Alex glared at Valerie.

“I understand sir,” Valerie bowed. She would not disappoint her teacher. She would definitely be stronger until she was worthy to face him.

“Alright! Even if my hands are itching to stab her— I’ll let go. After all, Caesar made an announcement to all of Avalon. Valerie is hers, his prey, so no one is allowed to touch her,” Amelia shrugged.

Caesar Petrovsky said so? Valerie could have responded differently. By announcing that she was Gunther’s assassin—meaning the knights including Avalon would respect her even more. Then he said that no one could hunt her down. That means until Valerie was strong enough, she won’t have to worry too much about the arrival of assassins or attempted assassinations on her from Avalon.

Maybe what Caesar did had given her an advantage.

“Alright, our training ends today. I don’t know if there will be another chance. Because actually, I’m also still taking care of a lot of other matters. I thought I might be able to persuade you to join Avalon. But you killed Gunther, so the Avalons will be difficult to accept. Although, your brother seems to be comfortable in Avalon,” Alexander spoke for the first time about Jasper.

“What about my brother?” Valerie asked. She has discussed this before. But Alex didn’t want to talk about it much.

“He’s safe and under control. He still gets his freedom and all the therapy he does is not forced. That’s all I can tell you,” Alex said again.

Alex then came closer and whispered something to Valerie.

“Prove yourself, climb to the top and amaze us. I’ll see how you change history. Will it be worse? Or the other way around?” He whispered to Valerie and ended with a friendly pat on the back.

“Amelia! We’re going back to Balaghar now!” Alex orders.

“We part ways now, you’re alone now..but if it’s just a monster, you can definitely handle it.”

Amelia quickly packed up her belongings, including the leather bag that was owned by Alex. She then carried it on her back and walked side by side with her teacher. They stepped down the mountain without looking back.

“We can’t go home now, I not only received news from Caesar. The palace also gave a new mission, we have to look for princess Ivanka. The queen suspects that she is wandering in Ithadurna looking for an antidote for prince Yuri,” Amelia said in a whisper to him.

“What? Cure prince Yuri you say? But he’s not sick. How long will King Dimitri keep it from Princess Ivanka? Prince Yuri was just like his father. He has demon DNA like him. It’s just that he can’t control it very well.”

“But why don’t they honestly tell her what the prince’s illness is?”

“You see, Prince Yuri has been poisoned with liberal views, he’s a peace worshiper and rejects war. King Dimitri wants to punish him for that. He wanted him to feel the endless torment of thirst for blood. Besides, he wanted a strong heir. The king believes by letting him live in such conditions— he will become stronger, and vile,” Alexander said with a slight smirk on his face.

After Gregovich and Amelia gone, Valerie finally realized that she was alone. Her strenuous training finished early and she was definitely stronger. Now she just needed to find an inn in Ithadurna and wait for Raphael to visit him.

Apollon felt lighter in her hands this time.. She now felt that she was fully prepared to join Florentia and could not wait to duel with Florentia’s elite knights.
