After traveling for another two days, Edwin and Kira were finally back at Wyverndale Palace. It was already afternoon when they reached there.

And by that time, Theodore and Adeline were also already back from the training camp.

Adeline went to welcome her brother back to Palace. And after exchanging some pleasantries, Adeline asked Edwin, "How did the meeting go, brother?"

Edwin sighed and replied, "Ugh! It was a pain!" He put on a smile immediately and said, "But I gathered some useful information. I bet that you will be happy to hear them."

Adeline happily clasped her hands together and gave an appreciative smile. "As expected of my brother. Let\'s discuss your findings directly in the meeting. I wanted to keep the war away from our father but he found out anyway. So he has called a meeting in the evening."

Edwin pressed his lips together and furrowed his brows. "At what time?"

"At five." Adeline glanced at both Edwin and Kira and asked, "You both should freshen up and rest for a while. And both of you should attend the meeting later."

Kira was a bit surprised to know that he was also being called for the meeting. But he was more than happy to be included. He smiled and agreed very enthusiastically, "Sure, Your Highness. I will be there."

Kira headed towards his guest quarter while Edwin stayed back to ask something.

"Adeline, did you talk with the coven? What did they say?" Edwin asked with a frown line in between his brows. He was tapping his fingers on his palm very restlessly.

Adeline giggled seeing her brother getting restless for no reason. And she informed him, "Relax brother. They gladly agreed to teach her. Besides, it was our father who asked the High Priestess so there was no way they were going to reject."

Edwin was left speechless after hearing that his father was the one to ask the favor for his daughter even when all he had done was disappoint his father. After a few seconds, he managed to mumble, "He was the one to take Joyce to meet the coven?"

"Yes. Actually, we both went there along with little Joy." Adeline also informed him about the further developments, "The witches have already prepared the training schedule for her after discussing with her personal tutor. She is going to be busy from now on."

Edwin lightly patted on Adeline\'s shoulder and thanked her, "I was so worried about Joyce thinking I would have to send her away from me. But you arranged everything for her. I am really grateful."

Adeline gave a smile and said, "I didn\'t do much. Joyce was lucky that her magic manifested when the coven was already here."

"She\'s also lucky to have an aunt like you. Please keep on taking care of her in the future as well." Edwin patted Adeline\'s shoulder again and turned around to head towards his quarter.

And Adeline shouted from behind, "You don\'t have to say \'Please\' as if I am a stranger. I will look after her even if you don\'t ask me."

Edwin smiled to himself and whispered, "I know."

He recalled Juniper saying to him how Adeline had taken care of both of their needs while he was on house arrest. The current teacher looking after Joyce was also arranged by Adeline. And he knew that Adeline would obviously take care of Joyce without him asking her.

Later in the evening, a lot of people were present in the roundtable meeting with the King. There were the Generals. The representatives of witches and the werewolves – Tabitha and Nigel respectively. There were the spies – Edwin and Kira.

And the others were Theodore, Adeline, and Raphael.

Bennett was also invited to the meeting but he had some urgent family matter and he left early after getting Adeline\'s permission.

Everyone was waiting for the King to arrive. And most of them were prepared to get scolded by the King for hiding the news about the war.

After waiting for about five minutes, the King arrived in the meeting room. He adjusted himself in the seat and waved everyone to take their seats. "Let\'s begin the meeting."

Almost instantly, Dragomir glared at everyone in the room with his cold eyes and spoke in an intimidating tone, "First of all, I am very disappointed in all of you for keeping me in the dark."

"Please forgive us, Your Majesty." Everyone in the room was lowering their head.

On the other hand, Theodore was not used to these kinds of meetings. And he was busy arranging the sheets of papers provided to him in case he needed to jot something down in the meeting.

When he looked up from the paper, he found everyone lowering their heads. He pouted his lips thinking that they were all praying to his father and began doodling on the paper.

Dragomir was successful in scaring the life out of most of the people in the meeting room with his long silence.

After getting his fill, Dragomir chuckled to everyone\'s surprise. He cleared his throat and then said in a little softer tone, "But I am happy to see that all of you are already loyal to your Future Queen."

Everyone let out a sigh of relief after seeing their King\'s light mood.

And Dragomir continued to speak, "All of you are already aware of most of the details about the war. So I am not going to repeat it again. What I want to discuss right now is the progress that we\'ve made till now. And things that we can do to maximize our chances to win the war."

Dragomir glanced at General Osmond and asked, "Osmond, a brigade of your soldiers have been receiving specialized training from Theodore. Are there any improvements? How is the response from the soldiers?"

Theodore\'s attention was finally back to the meeting after hearing his name.

And General Osmond briefed the King, "The response is positive. They are saying that their senses have adapted better to the speed of the vampires. Their reflexes to the illusion attacks have also improved. The response from the archers is also positive regarding the crossbows."

Osmond gave a praising glance to Theodore and proposed to the King, "In my opinion, we are ready to roll out the specialized training to all divisions. With time, I believe that the soldiers will be able to tackle the attacks from real vampires."

Dragomir glanced at Theodore and gave his go-ahead, "Theodore, I will entrust the soldier\'s specialized training to you then."

"I will work on it," Theodore gave a little nod and waited for the others to speak again.

Dragomir then glanced at Nigel and Edwin and spoke with a slight smile on his face, "We might not have cold humans with superhuman strengths on our side. But I\'m happy to say that we will have powerful allies on our side – the witches and the werewolves."

All the Generals had a smile of relief on their faces. Most of them had heard the rumor that they already had Frostford on their side too, and hearing it from the King made their heart ease up.

And Dragomir ordered the Generals, "All of you should work together with the related incharges of Frostford and Aberdeen to make a proper battle plan."

Dragomir\'s attention was then on the spies that returned home from Mihir.. "I believe that Prince Edwin has some intel on the battle plans of the vampires. Why don\'t you share it with us?"
