Lilith — the infamous Crown Princess of the Bloodmoon Empire — was kneeling before him, crimson eyes lowered, her oath still echoing in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What the hell...? Did she just... submit herself? To me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook himself free from the daze, his voice sharp and incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell are you doing? Taking an oath and all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith lifted her gaze, her expression calm, almost serene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the Bloodmoon Empire, the highest class of vampires declare their servitude by taking an oath. That’s what I just did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex rubbed his forehead, groaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, but I don’t need a servant. And for that matter, I don’t trust you at all. I only want one thing from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith tilted her head. \"And that is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex leaned forward, his tone flat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just have to support Charlotte in the upcoming elections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Lilith’s lips curved into a sly smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you wish, my lord. It’s a promise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vein bulged on Alex’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t call me that,\" he snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, reaching into his storage ring. Pulling out a sleek bracelet, he slipped it onto his right wrist. Immediately, his silver hair darkened into jet black, and his glowing blue eyes dulled back to their amethyst hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With practiced ease, he slid the skeletal mask over his face, hiding every trace of expression. His voice was calm now, detached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m leaving. Remember what you just promised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith merely smiled again in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That only irritated Alex further. With a sharp motion, he turned and pushed open the office door, stepping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hallway outside was quiet, save for one figure waiting at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora Vale — Lilith’s maid and closest companion — stood there holding a white T-shirt in her hands. The fabric was slightly wrinkled from being clutched nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cheeks warmed as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re done with your meeting with the princess... Mr. Lucifer, could you... please...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She extended the shirt toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex paused. ’So she’s been standing here the whole time, waiting for me, huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small, amused smile tugged at his lips beneath the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well as great as I am, I also and will always appreciate my fans,\" he said lightly, taking the shirt from her hands. With a quick flourish, he signed his name across the fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora’s eyes lit up instantly, her lips curving into a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even snapped a few pictures together — Isadora holding her shirt proudly beside the masked figure. Then, with nothing more to say, Alex gave a lazy wave and walked away down the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now standing alone outside the clubroom office, Isadora pressed a hand over her chest, her excitement threatening to spill over. She quickly slipped the signed T-shirt into her storage ring, forcing herself to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a steady breath, she knocked on the office door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice floated out, casual and familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to knock, Isa. Just come right in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She entered quietly, finding Lilith reclining back on the couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith’s crimson eyes flicked toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you prepare some coffee for me? I’m feeling a bit dizzy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora bowed slightly. \"Of course, your highness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of boiling water and clinking porcelain filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re curious, aren’t you?\" Lilith’s voice came suddenly, breaking the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora froze, then smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to tell me, your highness. It must be something important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith exhaled a slow sigh, resting her head against the couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can say that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat upright, her tone sharpening as she added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the coffee, we’re going to meet Charlotte.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora glanced back, startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did she call you again for support?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith let out a soft laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. I just promised someone that I’d support her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora’s eyes flickered in realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... I understand. So this is what you were discussing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Lilith confirmed, her crimson eyes narrowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I will do as you wish,\" Isadora said warmly. \"I’ll inform all our people who we’ve decided to back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks for the help,\" Lilith replied softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora shook her head with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t say that. It’s my job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Isadora placed a cup of steaming coffee before Lilith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lilith reached for it, Isadora’s eyes widened. Around her mistress’s wrist was a faint, glowing mark. A symbol — delicate yet ominous — etched of her wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is that... the mark of a blood oath? But... what kind of oath was it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith noticed her gaze. With a sharp motion, she pulled her sleeve down to cover the mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go,\" Lilith said briskly, sipping her drink. \"The coffee was delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora smiled softly. \"It was my pleasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet her mind lingered on the mark, the curiosity gnawing at her. Still, she held her tongue. She was Lilith’s maid — it wasn’t her place to pry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Alex stood before another building — the Archery Clubroom. His skeletal mask gleamed under the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’One down. One more to go.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing open the door, he stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost immediately, several elven students looked up from their practice, their sharp gazes analyzing the masked stranger with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex smirked beneath the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Of course. Here they come.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the elves saw Alex’s masked face and realized he wasn’t an elf, three of them stepped in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One more human, huh? You people are bothering our princess a lot these days. She’s already said no a hundred times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex tilted his head slightly, his voice dripping with sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you already know that I haven’t come here to join your shitty little club, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three elves stiffened, their faces twisting in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One spat out with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you monkeys know about the art of archery and magic? As a low-born human, you should be glad to even stand in the presence of a superior race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s eyes darkened beneath the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And this is exactly why I didn’t want to come here in the first place.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled slowly, his voice cold and clipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, I don’t have time for this. Just tell me where your princess is. I have something to discuss with her. It’s already been decided by her father that we have to go on a mission soon. So move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, the three elves froze. The moment he mentioned the Elven King, they sucked in sharp breaths, their bravado melting instantly. Cold sweat trickled down their temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should have started with that, human...\" one of them muttered nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow us,\" another said quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sighed as he followed them, calming his irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And Alyssa actually expects me to go on a mission in an elven country? When their behavior is already this rotten inside Zenith Academy? Great... just great.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They soon reached the open archery grounds — a wide, sunlit field where enchanted targets danced and zipped through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of it all stood Elaria, her blond hair flowing like silk, her posture flawless as she drew her bow. She wore a fitted white tunic with golden linings, paired with sleek dark-green leggings and silver vambraces that glimmered faintly with runic enchantments. A quiver of arrows hung lightly at her hip, though she barely seemed to need more than one at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex slowed his pace, his eyes narrowing as he watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elaria released her arrow — the string sang, and the shaft split into three glowing streaks mid-air. In a blink, all three struck different moving targets at once, shattering them into shards of light. The field echoed with the faint hum of residual magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Alex couldn’t help but raise a brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Her aim really is something else...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his admiration was fleeting. Because just a little distance away stood Ethan and Seraphina, both trying — and failing — to get her attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elaria ignored them completely, loosing another flawless shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elf guide smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See what I told you? You humans just keep pestering our princess for things she doesn’t want to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex didn’t reply. He simply stepped past them, walking closer to Elaria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he approached, voices carried to his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan’s tone was edged with frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you being like this? You’re also a first-year. If Lucas wins, he won’t make things easy for elves or vampires. He believes in human superiority just like you elves do for your own race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elaria scoffed but gave no reply, loosing another arrow that shattered four targets at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphina’s voice was firm, pleading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, but on the other hand, Charlotte is nothing like her brother. She believes in equality, in treating everyone fairly. Supporting her will mean balance, Elaria.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Elaria lowered her bow and turned toward them, her eyes glinting with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, why should I support another princess by making her president? Isn’t it the same as admitting she’s better than me? When she is nowhere near me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphina pinched the bridge of her nose, sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seriously... did you hear anything we just said? Or are you only worried about proving you’re superior to everyone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elaria tilted her head, almost innocently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And is that wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphina groaned, throwing her hands up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m done. I can’t get through to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan clenched his jaw, glaring at Elaria. Then his eyes flicked to the bow in her hands, and an idea sparked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elaria,\" he said firmly. \"What if I challenge you to an archery duel? If I win, you’ll support Charlotte. If you win, we’ll never pester you again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An arrogant smile slowly spread across Elaria’s face, her ember eyes flashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you even realize what you’re asking for? Challenging me for archery are you sane or all that fame has gotten to your head...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan smirked. \"Yes. What’s the matter? Are you scared?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mouth twitched, her pride pricked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scared? I acc—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could finish, another voice cut through the air. Calm, deep, yet sharp enough to silence the entire field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, well... an interesting duel is about to happen. Do you mind if I participate too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elaria’s eyes widened instantly, recognition flashing across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lucifer Morningstar... so you’ve finally come. My family just informed me you would arrive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how was the Chapter?
