This time, only Aconite, Dahlia, and Lulu were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur had never involved herself with them, and Lulu was far too uneasy about Isolde’s presence to be anywhere near her. The absence itself said enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seamus leaned back in his chair, barely touching the tea in front of him. His thoughts drifted restlessly, circling the same unresolved problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viviane, Isolde, the lingering mess in the North, and then there was Vincent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent had given him his card, yet Seamus had never contacted him afterward. Digging into his father’s past felt unnecessary now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vampire hunters and shattered covenants could no longer reach him. Still, the unease lingered like a dull ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Next time we meet, I should mark him. At least then I would know where he stands.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seamus? Are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lulu’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He straightened slightly and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am fine. Just thinking too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\" She hesitated. \"Was what happened in the North really that bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not exactly,\" he replied. \"I did not see the worst of it myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lulu sighed softly. \"I wish I could help you somehow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her shoulders slumped, disappointment clear in her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Lulu.\" Dahlia gently brushed her back. \"I honestly don’t understand why you still have not slept with Seamus. Has it not been over a month since you joined Velstrath?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head. \"I met him less than a week after arriving and already had outdoor sex with Aconite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seamus choked on his tea, nearly spraying it across the table. Lulu’s face turned bright red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"B-but the schedule!\" Lulu protested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What schedule?\" Dahlia waved dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seamus will be in the North three days a week. That plan is meaningless. Who even follows it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do,\" Seamus said calmly, taking a breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lulu is not ready yet. Some people need time. Even Aconite ran away at first, did she not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Me?\" Aconite blinked, clearly lost. \"What are you talking about?\" She smiled warmly. \"I just like everyone being here. The house finally feels alive again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, sister Aconite,\" Dahlia sighed. \"That is exactly why you need hobbies. Also, we are talking about having sex with Seamus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\" Aconite’s fingers fidgeted. \"My body feels strange. I don’t think something that big could fit inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cheeks flushed, and Lulu looked just as embarrassed, clearly understanding her meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it fits inside me, it can fit inside you,\" Dahlia replied casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I am different,\" Aconite said quietly. \"I am imperfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Imperfect?\" Seamus widened his eyes. \"But you are beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head slowly. \"I told you before. It is because of Sarah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, she added in a softer voice, \"I was born without a face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The table fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aconite’s statement was so unexpected that Seamus instinctively frowned. Lulu froze as well, her expression openly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, an Emblem was supposed to be perfect, flawless by design, something closer to an ideal than a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... what did you actually look like?\" Lulu asked hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was born without a face,\" Aconite replied after a short pause, as if sorting through distant memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My body was small, like a child’s. My hair was long and transparent, and my limbs felt stiff, almost like a doll with visible joints.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Lulu blinked. \"So all Emblems were born like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aconite shook her head. \"No. It was only me. The younger the Seven Great Covenants, the more imperfect the Emblem becomes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her gaze slightly. \"It feels as if the False God put less thought into creating us as time passed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or,\" Dahlia added, leaning forward with interest, \"maybe it took lots of power to make the Emblem of Enigma.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curved into a knowing smile. \"There is a belief among vampires that the False God is asleep and weakened. That is why the Seven Great Covenants grow stronger while the Emblems slowly lose their authority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seamus’s brows knitted together. He remembered X’s gradual disappearance, and how the Bears had used half a Crest without another Emblem even notifying X. Something about that imbalance felt deeply wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weren’t they supposed to stand together?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question lingered uncomfortably. Perhaps the situation was far more complicated than he had assumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how do you know this, Dahlia?\" he asked. \"Information like that is not exactly public.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gossip,\" she replied lightly. \"Vampires love parties and reminiscing about their so-called glorious pasts. It is boring most of the time, but gatherings like that are fertile ground for information. They talk too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see,\" Seamus nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts drifted to the private party in the North and the incident that followed. Has the investigation progressed at all? Has the perpetrator already been identified?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If something like that happens again,\" he asked, \"would you bring me along?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" Dahlia replied eagerly. \"I am quite good at gathering intelligence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rested her chin on her hands. \"We could even stay at a nearby hotel and enjoy ourselves afterward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seamus swallowed, memories flickering unbidden. \"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned to Aconite. \"Can you tell me which Covenant is the oldest, and which is the youngest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded. \"The oldest is House Latros. Second is House Corvane. Third is House Bjorne.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, thinking. \"Fourth is yours. Fifth is ours. Sixth is House Nycteris, and the last is House Cinera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait,\" he cut her off. \"Wasn’t the first Patriarch of Corvane a Crown Prince? If the order follows the siblings of the Kingdom of Morum, shouldn’t they come first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aconite shook her head. \"Adler’s era was peaceful. The Emblem was born only after Morum became the Empire of Noctis, during the age of chaos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed softly. \"I was very young then. I only remember fragments. I’m glad Ulrich was kind to me, not like the second Patriarch threw me into a dungeon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seamus blinked. \"They could do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" she replied calmly. \"It was not difficult. I was a child.\" She sipped her tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, my eyes could see their sin. I punished them properly, so everything turned out fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said it as if it were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seamus remained silent, fingers tapping lightly against the table. He already knew someone he needed to speak to about this.\u003C\u002Fp>",1054,"2026-06-03T11:48:03.951Z","2026-06-03T11:48:07.607Z",1,"novelbin.me","038dacb4f6d135b420b2b09217fe518664b8564d6b5e641f11acf0e6e14962c8","my-stepmom-is-a-vampire-her-entire-bloodline-wan-chapter-183","my-stepmom-is-a-vampire-her-entire-bloodline-wan-chapter-181",244,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-stepmom-is-a-vampire-her-entire-bloodline-wan-cover.jpg"]
