The Masked Vampire King's Accidental Bride-Chapter 623: A deal with a Sacrificial Clan

Elliana was sent back to the Black Skull Palace under King Eros’s supervision as the King volunteered to stay with his daughter and ensure her safety until Sebastian was free from all the work that he had to look after.

"My wife told me you wanted to discuss something," Sebastian walked inside the hospital room and didn’t waste a single second in speaking.

Glow, who was sitting by Marcello’s side, immediately looked up at her brother, a displeased look on her face.

"Wait outside, Sister Ella," Sebastian said, his gaze meaning no funny business.

He was already angry that his wife had to take so much burden because of all the shit happening around them, and now staying away from her while keeping her in someone else’s care wasn’t something he was pleased about.

"Glow," Marcello nodded at his wife, who stood and nodded at him back.

"I will go and grab some drinks," Glow signed to Marcello, who had also learned a bit of sign language for her.

"Okay," Marcello said before shifting his gaze back to King Sebastian.

"King Sebastian," Marcello tried to sit straight, wincing in pain slightly.

"I am not here to stay for long. Just state what you want to talk about. You can keep lying down," Sebastian walked towards the balcony of the room to see if anyone was keeping a look at the room from the outside.

It was better to be prepared this time since they could use these people against his wife and him again.

"When those witches were beating me and Prince Angelo was forcefully taking away Glow, I heard something," Marcello said, not wanting to beat around the bush himself as he went straight to the point.

When he noticed that the man near the balcony didn’t move, he continued speaking.

"Is it true that you are striking a deal with the witches of another clan behind Elliana’s back?" Marcello asked.

His words didn’t surprise Sebastian. It wasn’t something he intended to hide from anyone apart from his wife. Why? Because he knew Elliana would never agree to it.

"What about it?" Sebastian finally asked, turning to look at the man.

"I am sure you haven’t told Elliana anything regarding the matter. Do you have any idea how broken-hearted she would be when she would know you are trying to sacrifice yourself for her? Do you think she will appreciate it? Can you think about that soft-hearted girl who is forced to grow recklessly because of all the plotting around her before taking such a big and reckless decision?" Marcello asked, coughing a little when his abs ached, sending him gasping for air.

Sebastian didn’t say anything for a few seconds.

Under normal circumstances, he would’ve pulled the tongue of anyone talking to him in this tone. But since he knew Marcello was only looking after his wife, he didn’t say anything.

He turned to look at the forest, a soft smile on his lips.

Did he not know what Marcello was talking about? Of course, he knew.

But was there any other choice he was left with? Was there any way he could save his wife?

"Tell me, Marcello. You are almost starting a family yourself. If it were you in my place, and you knew you could bargain with something that you had, just to protect Glow, would you have done it or not?" Sebastian asked Marcello.

The man in the hospital bed didn’t say anything.

His silence was his answer, and a scoff left Sebastian’s mouth.

"Honestly, this deal was supposed to be a secret from those evil witches. It was something I was planning with the witches of the Sacrificial clan who are like experts in the field of sacrifices. I didn’t know the news would reach those witches with Azrael so soon," Sebastian said, massaging his forehead.

His plan was simple but quite risky.

It was two days ago when just like all the clans, he went to the Sacrificial clan to vouch and plead for help for his wife and have the witches offer their Magna to Elliana so she could fight back against the tenth lock of her siren powers and not die.

At that time, the leader of that clan had asked him a simple question. If there was anything he had with him that he could sacrifice for the safety of his wife. He had said ’everything’ without thinking twice.

Because that was the truth.

He was ready to sacrifice everything for her, everything apart from his life because he needed to live to ensure she was safe and happy throughout her life.

When the witches heard his answer, they told him they were ready to use the finest magic to save his wife and help him fight against Azrael that heartless witch, for Elliana’s safety, if he gave them something in return.

He didn’t know what they would ask. For a moment, he even thought they would ask to rule over the Vampire kingdom, but what they asked surpassed his thought process.

They asked for him to sacrifice his beast, the demon inside him. And for him to sacrifice that beast, was akin to death for him because he would turn into a powerless vampire even a soldier working under him would be able to kill easily.

However, since it was something that was in his hand and wouldn’t harm anyone, he agreed with the sacrifice. The ritual was supposed to take place in seven days and each day he would have to go there to give his blood to the Sacrificial clan so they could prepare for the necessary chants and initiate the ritual for the sacrifice. freēwēbnovel.com

That clan was known for one of their rogue activities, and it was well spread in the witch world that it was one of the clans that didn’t keep any connection with either of the witch kingdoms.

There was no doubt that Elliana wasn’t going to like this, but since they guaranteed that they would keep her safe from Azrael and help her live a longer life, and he had heard about them too, he was thinking about that sacrifice.

That time, it was only a thought, but seeing how Azrael was out again and her prime target was his wife, it was looking like a good opportunity.

That was also the reason, he wanted to spend these days with her, the most he could. His beast wanted to spend his time with his wife because he was sacrificing himself for his love.

Sebastian didn’t know how it was going to happen, but it would be painful nonetheless.

He had even designed all the strategies so that his absence would only look like he was busy with work and nothing more.

He just needed Elliana to stay out of it and away from him until the ritual was completed, once it was done, it wouldn’t matter when and how she found out about it.

Sebastian sighed and looked at Marcello, who was looking at the man in front of him with a new profound view.

Was this really the same dangerous man that everyone said didn’t have a heart? Was he the same man who was rumored to be pathetic and emotionless enough to kill his own family if given a chance?

"If there is nothing else, I have other matters at hand," Sebastian said, making the man sigh.

"Thank you for saving me and giving me this new life to be able to enjoy my time with my family," Marcello whispered.

"Also, please don’t sacrifice your beast until it becomes the utmost necessity. I have known Elliana for almost 2 years and I can assure you that she won’t be able to stay the same if she found out about it. You won’t just sacrifice your beast, you will sacrifice the happiness and will to live inside her. I am sure you wouldn’t want to see a moving doll either," Marcello said.

Sebastian looked at him and nodded in understanding before leaving the room.
