Chapter 22

Theresia looked at the man who had just shouted, she didn't know him at all. But Theresia is sure that if the man is a vampire, who else wants holy blood besides the vampire nation?

"Ace, we should go," said Theresia, because there are not only one vampire but three. Theresia was only afraid that a commotion would occur, and she was also afraid that Ace would get hurt later.

Ace held Theresia's hand, then he said, "Is that holy blood owner they mean you, Theresia?"

Theresia froze in her place, should Ace know that? Even Theresia didn't want anyone to know that she was the owner of holy blood. Theresa took a deep breath. "I'll explain to you later, it's best if we go now," he replied, pulling Ace back to leave.

Ace still stood where he was, no intention to move at all. "I don't want to go, anyone who targets and harms you. They must accept the consequences," he said with his eyes fixed on the three red-eyed men.

"Wait here, don't go anywhere!" Ace's orders seemed undeniable. After saying that, Ace ran to face the three vampires.

"Ace!" shouted Theresa. But Ace didn't listen at all, all Theresia could do was watch Ace fight the three vampires. Even Theresia was still thinking, how could a vampire nation other than Aiden know of her existence in that city. Then What should Theresia do?

"What should I do? The vampires have started to know where I am, should I move again?" Theresia muttered closing her eyes for a moment.

While Ace was fighting the three vampires, it was easy enough for an Alpha werewolf to defeat them. Look, in just a few minutes the three vampires are already on the ground.

"Damn, we're leaving now!" shouted one of the vampires instructing his friends, they chose to run away before they actually died at Ace's hands.

Ace smiled lopsidedly because he managed to make them frantic, even though Ace's strength had not yet been mobilized. If that power is shown, then the three vampires could die right away.

After everything is done, Ace immediately goes to Theresia who is still silent in her place. Ace waved his hand in front of Theresia, seeing that the woman seemed to be lost in thought. "Hey, why are you daydreaming?"

Ace's words managed to break Theresia's thoughts, she turned to look for the three vampires. But his eyes didn't see it at all. "Where was the vampire?" he asked looking at Ace.

"You know they're a vampire?" asked Ace to which Theresia nodded. Then Ace folded his arms over his chest, then said, "You owe me an explanation."

Theresia scratched the back of her neck that didn't itch, a sigh could be heard from her. "Okay, we'll sit there. I'll explain to you," he said as he walked away towards a park bench.

Now the two of them are sitting side by side on a park bench, looking at the blooming flowers. The clear sky added to the impression of the day. Theresia also began to explain about holy blood to Ace, but she still concealed her identity as a magician.

"I am indeed the owner of holy blood, therefore the vampires continue to target my blood," explained Theresia clearly.

Ace frowned, it was too impossible for him to believe that holy blood existed. Ace has never believed anyone who has holy blood, but because Theresia said it, this time Ace tried to believe it.

"Isn't holy blood very rare? How can you have holy blood?" Ace began to ask questions that had been lodged in his mind for a while.

Theresia took a deep breath, then said, "I was born on the full moon of the 700-year solar eclipse cycle, that's all I know. It was my grandfather who first noticed that."

Ace nodded in understanding, pure blood is indeed rare but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist right?

"So where is your grandfather now?" asked Ace again.

Theresia suddenly fell silent, her heart felt tight again remembering about her family. It is also impossible for him to say that if his family is a witch, Theresia still remembers her promise. If no one can find out if she is a witch, Theresia is too sick of being a witch. Why admit himself as a witch, if the magic world won't accept him back.

"K-My grandfather is dead, so are my parents. They died..." Theresia stopped her words for a moment, then said again, "Because killed by Adnan. The vampire that time chased me to the forest."

Ace was surprised to hear Theresia's explanation, he did not expect that a fierce and fierce woman like Theresia harbored various sorrows in her life. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you remember all that," he said looking at Theresia with pity. Theresia doesn't like to be looked at like that, she doesn't want to be pitied by anyone. Theresia doesn't like to look sad.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't like to be pitied!" Sarkas Theresia turned her face away.

Ace scratched his head, feeling confused as to what to do. Is he wrong again? It is true that men will always be wrong in the eyes of women. Ace forced a smile, then said, "No, I'm not feeling sorry for you. You know, this is a look of love, not pity."

The corner of Theresia's lips lifted to one side, she wanted to laugh because Ace's words were so ancient. "It's up to you, I don't care," he said still turning his face away. His heart is much warmer now, I don't know how that could happen.

Ace didn't lose his mind, he held both of Theresia's shoulders. Directing the woman to look at him. Both of their eyes met, eye contact was unavoidable.

"Listen to me, don't worry. Even if your family is gone, I will always be by your side. I will protect you from the vampires who are after you, trust me," said Ace trying to convince Theresia.

Theresia was silent, her brain was thinking. Is Ace serious? All this time no one could accompany him to the end, even his parents and grandfather died protecting him. Can Ace protect Theresia? What if Ace will also be the next victim? Various questions flashed through Theresia's mind.

Theresia looked away, she brushed Ace's hand away slowly and said, "You're not looking for the holy blood in my body, are you?"

"Maybe," answered Ace casually.

That made Theresia's eyes widen perfectly, suddenly she looked at Ace with a sharp gaze. "What do you mean!?" he screamed a little, he got up from his seat. Crossing his waist in front of Ace who was still sitting casually.

"I'm looking for holy blood," answered Ace still with a smile that was difficult to interpret.
