Meanwhile in the Reigns castle.

"Please go have a rest, Your Highness. It's been days since you last slept, isn't it?" Lucas told Sebastian after their late-night meeting with the prophetess.

"How's the information about this hacker guy I am looking for? Did he finally respond?" Sebastian asked. They had been discreetly looking for a hacker who is currently known to be the world's most wanted hacker. The guy was said to have retired and was no longer accepting any kind of clients.

However, Sebastian wanted him. It was funny because the best solution Sebastian had come up with to destroy Elijah's plan was to get help from a hacker. In short… they needed a human's help to overcome this problem.

Sebastian had a feeling that Elijah was a notorious hacker himself. It was certain he was not working alone, so they had been trying to search for his team and their hideout. But these people had obviously been perfectly hidden somewhere because of the help of a powerful witch backing them.

Elijah had used human technology to immobilize the powerful vampires and witches to not come attacking him at full force and to still allow him to do whatever that he wanted. They had not banked on him using methods of the humans to deal with them. However, it was a genius strategy that none of them ever expected him to pull.

The vampires and witches had never thought that there would be a day where human technology can immobilize them. Well, this only worked because everyone would rather choose peace than having a potential apocalypse triggered. But this was what Elijah had taken advantage of.

Sebastian had also found out that his brother, Ezekiel, had sent vampires he had hand-picked to other countries to learn and hone their hacking skills many years ago. There were seven of them according to Lucas. The fact that Ezekiel had made preparations for this, only made everyone realize that he had seen a possible threat regarding this matter in the future.

But when they had gone searching for these seven experts, they could not find them anywhere. They all had disappeared and left no trace nor records since the year Ezekiel left.

The only reason they could think about was that those seven might have been taken captive by Elijah. And those seven were the ones he was using right now. The very ones his brother had sent out to train to protect the country were now the ones being used by Elijah against the race and country his brother had been trying to protect. What an irony.

"The hacker with the codename 'Monster'?" Lucas answered.

"Yes."

"He didn't respond. I'm afraid the only way we can communicate with him is to meet him in person."

A long sigh escaped Sebastian. Just like Alexander, he hated this. He hated that they could not fight with brute force and were being forced to be strategists when they were the swords themselves. He had thought many times that this era really was not for him… for them.

"Then we'll go meet with him. If that's the only way, we'll do it." Sebastian hissed impatiently.

They could not find any vampire hackers that were good enough. So, their last resort was to turn to the humans. Sebastian believed that in this matter, humans were better when dealing with science and technology. He had thought that perhaps this was the humans' very own type of strength or they might even call it their magic. His brother certainly had foreseen it, so he tried to train some vampires for as early as possible as Lucas had revealed, Ezekiel had gathered these men when human's modern technology was just starting to boom.

Still, even though those vampires certainly had trained earlier and longer than any human hacker that was alive right now, based on the information Sebastian had gathered, humans still have the chance to beat them. This thing was like one of the modern wars of humans after all.

"Err… but Your Highness… are you sure you want to go meet that person all by yourself? I can go on your behalf if you want. There is no need for you to personally make that trip."

"No. We can't risk being found out. We need the witch queen to go with me to keep this a secret. So, I need you to go and fetch Queen Lilith since Zeres is nowhere to be found." Sebastian decided firmly and gave out his order. Lucas had no choice but to comply and obey his Lord.

Lucas nodded. "Please rest while waiting for me to fetch Queen Lilith over."

"I will."

When Lucas was gone, Sebastian headed back to his room. Their room. He did not like going back to their room because he had missed his Iza terribly. She really had so silently but surely integrated herself into his life.

But he needed to take at least a couple of hours nap to rest up. That was more than what he needed before they set to fly off to meet with that human hacker.

Loosening his neck tie, Sebastian pushed the door open. He began to undress before taking his shirt off. But the moment he shut the door, he became very still.

He had sensed someone's presence and smelt that intoxicating scent he had been missing so bad. But he brushed the thought off. Telling himself he was doing it again, feeling things due to his intense longing for his beloved person. And about the scent, Iza's scent had always been lingering, most especially in the bed sheets though it was growing fainter and fainter as the time passed.

However, this time, he was shocked because the scent seemed to be stronger right now. That could only happen if… Iza was right here. And what' this presence… impossible…

Sebastian whirled around and his eyes dilated at the sight of a woman lying in their bed.

"I… Iza?"
