The Duke's Passion

Chapter 607: Miracle

When I saw Charlotte's pale expression and heard her word, "help," I knew right there, and then a problem arose. My mind instantly created scenarios of what to expect when I came rushing to the backyard where everyone was having a barbeque party. God knows I even prepared Lakresha to stop whatever problem I would see.

But... I never felt so wrong in my entire life. Although I was, in fact, always wrong, this was a different kind of disappointment and relief.

"What the hell?" I murmured, stopping from a distance while staring at the people around the small bonfire. Charlotte didn't tell me anything, or rather, she couldn't. I rushed in here without asking what happened while she was left behind to look after Law and Sunny. She could just shoot arrows from the window, after all.

I heaved a sigh of relief as I patted my chest. "Charlie, you could've said you've seen a miracle in a much calmer tone," came out a murmur, raising my gaze at them once again.

There, around the bonfire, were the La Crox's siblings getting along very well. It wasn't the same as getting along as they insult each other and wish they would just drop dead. But the type of bond where they all sat together around the bonfire, singing while swaying their bodies.

Sam's arm was draped across Klaus' shoulder and the latter was doing the same to Dominique. From the other side of Sam, he was holding Silvia while she had her arms hooked around Yulis. I didn't think they would have so much fun drinking this much in the early hour of the evening.

No wonder Charlotte had that look on her face. They surprisingly looked as if they all became best of friends to the point it was scary.

"Is Yulis finally dying?" I wondered along with a deep exhaled. "I hope that is not the case. Just how many barrels of wine did they drink to be in this state?"

I stayed on my spot and relaxed my tensed shoulder. Apparently, Rufus, Fabian, Claude, Kristina, Ramin, and Noah were forced to watch this once-in-a-lifetime show. The only one who was smiling was Fabian and Claude, clearly enjoying this small choir group.

"What are they singing?" I murmured, trudging forth to approach the bonfire. Halfway through, I froze upon hearing their song I never heard before, which they repeated over and over in chorus.

"Oh, ye o' come! A cavalcade of the livid... prancing to the La Crox... knock on the pearly gates... welcome thee sons... fear not the wicked..." These were the only words I could make up for their angry song, but it already sent a chill down my spine.

'A cavalcade of the livid? La Crox? Welcome thee sons?' I scrunched my nose up, hearing that chorus once again, and something in my head rang a bell. My eyes slowly dilated as my jaw fell open, seeing them release each other while picking up the weapons from a place I had no idea where they hid.

If I remembered correctly, there were also some La Crox on the mainland. One particular example was the person who had been giving Tilly eggs back when she was living alone. He was also someone who held a high position on this land, and the person who nearly caught Fabian the first time he came in here. I met him a few times as he had dropped by in this place — he was one of the very few people who could go and leave the forbidden forest alive

Now that I thought about it, he didn't have a particularly good or bad relationship with Sam. Although Sam had a terrible relationship with the La Crox clan in this land. Apparently, the vampires in here believed that anyone who left this place was a traitor. Thus, they see Sam as a son of the traitor of the clan, but my husband saw them as bugs who were pestering him.

'I knew it. There's only one reason that can unite them.' I took hurried steps towards them. 'That is hatred for their father. I should've known.'

"Yes... that is a good composition, Uncle Hell." Claude clapped along with Tilly and Fabian. "Amazing, amazing! So, are we marching to the La Crox tonight?"

"Hehe! Oh, my nephew! Brothers, Sister, my dearest siblings whom I love so much. I will break this happy news to you as my gift! Apparently, our family is normal all along!" Sam expressed, planting his palm across his chest. "After meeting those bastards in this land, our damn kin, I am so proud of you."

Sam heaved as he chuckled loudly, almost maniacally, making all the hairs on my body raise. In a beat, his tone change as he recklessly bears his fangs.

"So, here is my gift to my little brothers and sister. I will slaughter all of them so they do not undermine the La Crox you carry your entire life."

Klaus laughed, stretching his neck sideways. "Oh, my big brother! How can you only think of hogging the fun all to yourself?"

"La Crox, huh? How dare they undermine the gravity of the La Crox we carry outside this land?" Silvia smirked dangerously.

"We, as a family, shall show them that our damn father's decision to leave this land isn't ours. Thus, that doesn't mean they should put us all in a single basket. How insulting." Dominique laughed whilst shaking his head, stretching his fingers to make a cracking sound.

"I love it." Claude giggled as he also stood up, stretching his shoulder in a circular motion. "I'm curious what they all look like. Our beloved kin, I mean."

Just as Claude spoke, I stopped when I felt a presence; an aura of multiple people from the forest. In a blink of an eye, multiple figures appeared several meters away from the bonfire. My breath hitched, mind buzzing at the sight of Sam's cousins and a few members of the La Crox. Their aura smelled the same somehow, so I could tell.

'No.' Just as I took a step forward, Fabian, who was with them, suddenly appeared on my side with Tilly.

"My lady, please don't worry." I looked at him, wide-eyed. "I'm certain they are pleased to meet their relatives."

"That's right. I will intervene if things get dangerous." Tilly nodded.

"Fabian... Tilly..."

In the end, I listened to the two of them as they were the only people I could rely on this.
