Trinity the last White Witch - Chapter 57

[Trinity’s POV]

As I listened to Catherine’s problems, I couldn’t help but shake my head. I knew about Emelia and Charles, and it was a famous tale in the Vampire circle, especially that he insisted all those years that Catherine was his mate even though his true mate died.

Vampires only get one mate in their lifetime, and their souls didn’t go in the cycle of reincarnation, so there was no way that Catherine could be his mate.

And I was so sure it was the case until I saw Catherine at one of the vampire party’s. It was actually the first time that I saw her.

Her sad face and lonely eyes weren’t what caught my attention. It was the information that even after years that Charles went to deep sleep, she still refused to leave his mansion while all his lovers left.

She stayed with him and governed his castle so that when Charles woke up, everything was like before.

By the time I entered the Vampire Kingdom, Charles was already in a deep sleep years before. Deep sleep was a death sentence. Nobody knew when he would wake up. It could be thousands of years or even millions.

Waiting for him to wake up for that amount of time, I was sure that what Catherine felt for Charles was more than love.

However, I, too, had doubts regarding whether she was his mate or not.

Only Catherine could answer that. She was the one who knew her feelings the most.

“What should I do?” Catherine said, voice distress as her face.

“Honestly, Catherine. Your problem is simple enough.”

Her face went from distress to confusion.

“As I see it, Charles loves you and would do anything for you. Even if he just sees you as his dead mate, it didn’t change the fact that woman is dead and you’re alive. You should take advantage of it, especially his feelings for you.”

I licked my lips, and my eyes twinkled in mischief. “All you had to do was use your charms to sway him.”

Her beautiful face turned into a scowl. “Y-you meant to say . . . seduce him?

“Seduce him. Embrace him. Lie to him. Whisper sweet nothings to him. Fuck him. I don’t care what you do as long as you get Charles to follow your every demand and you find me this mark.

“Listen, Catherine, the more you resist him, the more he would control you. But let it go and cozy up to him, and you’ll be surprised at how doting he could be.”

I spoke from experience since Rhazien was also like that. All the males I’ve encountered were like that.

Charles wasn’t any different.

“Use your charms and womanly asset to get what you want. Your body is your greatest weapon against a male. Whatever and whoever they are. Don’t forget that.”

Catherine’s face switched from pale to red. “B-but . . . I- I don’t know if I could do it.”

“You can,” I said with a serious voice and face, “You don’t have a choice. If you want to be with Benjamin and your family and accomplish whatever you want, you have to be prepared to go to the extreme.”

Catherine was silent before she took a deep breath. “I-I’ll . . . I’ll try.”

“Don’t worry, once you’ve gotten the hang of it, you’ll life will become easier.

“How’s your supply, by the way?” I asked.

“I still have some. I think this is enough to last me another month or so.”

I was surprised because I thought her supply was running out by now. And judging from her personality, Catherine would never drink human blood.

Then there could only be one explanation.

My lips curved up. “You’ve been drinking his blood,”

Catherine’s face puffed red, and he looked to the other side. “Y-yes. B-but . . . it’s not like it’s a big deal.”

My eyebrow raised. “Not a big deal?”

I wanted to hit her head. Of course, it was a big deal!

“Catherine, I couldn’t blame you because you’re once human and not yet accustomed to Vampires culture. But don’t ever speak that it isn’t a big deal to drink from a pureblood’s blood, or they might shred you to pieces in there.”

“. . .” Catherine was shocked. “W-why?”

“Purebloods are considered sacred creatures in Razim Kingdom, and their blood contained powers that invigorate a vampire’s body. What’s more, their blood is sacred because you could gain strength, speed, or sometimes even some of their powers.”

Catherine gasped, and her face heated more. “I . . . I didn’t know that it was that sacred.”

How cute. I couldn’t exactly blame Charles if he fell on the widowy-cute charms of Catherine.

“It is. They don’t share their blood, and never do they give their blood just to anyone. Remember that.

“I’ll hang up now,” I said when the sprites alerted me of Michael’s approach, “I still have something to do. Contact me again if you need blood potion and if you found anything regarding the mark.”

Catherine opened her lips but then closed them again.

I shut my compact and starred into the night sky.

Vein, huh.

I knew that story. It was kept secret, but being with Rhazien, I had access to that information.

The reason why Charles was in deep sleep was because he used his powers too much to kill Vein. I didn’t know exactly what happened, but Vein did something to Catherine, and Charles killed him.

I didn’t know the specifics, but Rhazien was mad when he told me there was seven Pureblood once. And when I entered the Razim Kingdom, they were down to five.

No . . . four . . .

Vladimir . . .  or Vlad for short. The tallest of all the purebloods. He disappeared one day. No one knew where he went. He just vanished and was never seen again.

I let out an audible breathe.

I didn’t care if Catherine loved Charles or if the latter lived or died, as long as it wouldn’t hinder my plans.

I was actually betting for Charles to go into a deep sleep in that way Catherine would be in charge of the castle. It would be a lot easier for her to snoop around.

But if Catherine managed to rope Charles in her little fingers, then everything would be easy too. Charles could help Catherine find the mark.

Either way . . . it was up to Catherine.

The night was darker than usual, and thick clouds blanketed the two moons. The cold air rattled the leaves, and thunder occasionally rained from above.

It was going to rain. I thought.

A good night to enter Earl’s Roselake’s house.
