"Ah, As. Don''t forget we are in public. You''re attracting too much attention. A Vampire ising towards you from the back. He looks suspicious. Handle it." Lilith noticed the Vampire behind As and many others looking in their direction.


    Immersed in the conversation, even she had forgotten that they needed to be careful. Fortunately, she realized it before it was toote.


    As stopped speaking as soon as he heard a Vampireing toward him.


    "How far is he?" he inquired softly.


    "Around ten steps," Lilith replied.


    As nodded in acknowledgment. He didn''t look back. He couldn''t let anyone know that he knew. Instead of stopping talking, he started talking even louder.


    "Lord Carlisle was so glorious. I can''t believe I got to see him today! He is amazing. My Lord is like a god, walking amongst us mortals. I can''t contain my excitement after seeing him! I am so lucky!"


    The Vampire reached closer to As, only to hear his words praising Carlisle.


    He chuckled as he turned around. "Talking to himself about seeing Lord Carlisle. These humans get excited at the smallest of things."


    "He''s leaving. Good dodge." Lilith informed As, letting out a sigh of relief. "But now you have to be careful. It might not work every time. When you talk, don''t look toward me. Alright?"


    "I get it," As started walking away from the Vampire. From the start to the end, he hadn''t seen him, and he wasn''t interested in it either.


    The sun had already set, and darkness was taking over the city, with only moonlight remaining as the source of light. More and more people started going back to their houses, calling it an end of their day. The shops started closing. Vendors gathered their stuff and left as well.


    "Everyone is going back," As observed the streets, sitting on one of the roofs.


    "Soon, all the streets will be covered by Vampires as more and more of theme out. The night is their favorite time, after all. I don''t think you should stay out. Even the roof isn''t safe at this time. Someone will sooner orter find you." Lilith reminded As about the risk of staying out, especially since there was going to be no cover soon.


    "I can''t go back to Lancaster''s home. More Vampires are patrolling that ce already. I wonder if I should just sneak inside someone else''s house to stay the night?" As let out, thinking out loud.


    "That''s not good. If you do that, you might have to kill them, and I don''t think this is something you should do in your condition. Stay away from bloodshed and violence. And even if you don''t kill the owner of the house, when you leave, they''ll certainly alert the Vampires outside. Not safe at all." Lilith refused to go with the n.


    "Still, that seems to be the only option. Where else can I go?" As muttered, trying to think if there was any other ce that allowed a stranger like him. There were hotels, but certainly, they weren''t going to give him a room thiste since it seemed suspicious.


    "A ce which allowed a stranger in at night without much interrogation..." Lilithmented, but something seemed odd about her tone, as if she knew a ce but didn''t want to tell.


    Ultimately, Lilith decided to speak her thoughts. "Oh heck, it''s much safer indeed. Let''s go to a brothel."


    "Cough! Cough!'' Hearing her answer, As started coughing uncontrobly. He had never expected that her answer would be this! Going to a brothel?


    Lilith was right that this ce did match the criteria. It allowed strangers in at night and let them stay there all night without much interrogation. Anyone could go there as long as they had the money. And unlike hotels, they weren''t going to be suspicious when someone checked in sote since brothels worked at night, but still... Of all ces, a brothel?!


    "But that ce is supposed to..." As hesitated. He had only heard about those ces, but mentally, he was only sixteen. Even though he was slightly curious about such things, he didn''t want to go to a brothel.


    "Come on. It''s not like you need to have sex. Even if you wanted to, I wouldn''t allow you to sully my Master''s body in a brothel with ady. Just go there and spend the night without doing anything. When it''s morning, you can leave for the servant selection. This is the best option! And it''s the safest! I don''t think Vampires wille there to check!"


    Lilith kept trying to convince As, who seemed a bit hesitant even more. "Come on. If you don''t leave now, it might be toote. There are still some humans outside. You''ll have some cover. If it''ste, it''ll be hard to even walk on the streets without attracting unnecessary attention. Stop being a kid!"


    "Arghh! Fine! Fine I''ll do it!" Under the immense convincing pressure of Lilith, As buckled and agreed. He had already gone against her so many times today, and this time she was really making sense to him. It was safer for him if he went to a brothel and spent a night there, no matter how ufortable he was.


    He jumped down from the roof in another empty alley and snuck out. "Now, where would we find a brothel in the city? Do you know?"


    "How should I know? It''s my first time here as well." Lilith snorted. "Ask someone."


    As scratched the back of his head. Now he even needed to ask someone for directions to a brothel?


    "How do you know there will be a brothel in this city then?" As inquired. "What if there is none?"


    "I havemon sense, that''s why. I''m sure you''ll find one in the city. Just ask someone," Lilith responded.


    As was very brave overall, but in this situation, his courage was almost non-existent. Yet, he walked towards a man, having no other choice.


    "Ah, excuse me?"


    The middle-aged man stopped, ncing toward As. "Yeah? Do you need something?"


    " I was wondering if you can tell me where I can find a brothel in this city?" As asked, trying to hide his embarrassment. "I''m new here."<novelnext></novelnext>


    The man couldn''t help but smile as he gave As a cheeky look as if he was pleased to meet a fellow man of culture. Seeing the expressions of the man, As felt even more embarrassed. He was being judged even though he had no impure intentions.


    "There''s one in that direction. Go straight and take the third left. You''ll find one right there. It''s called the Pleasure Club. I went there justst week. I must say, that ce is heaven, man. When you get there, ask for rissa. She is the best girl they have. You''re lucky; she might be free." The man winked at As.


    "That ce is very expensive though. Just the entrance fee alone is one Silver Coin, let alone the other costs," he further added before he left.


    As followed the directions that were given by the man and started advancing. He could already see many Vampires in the surroundings, but it still wasn''t the time of Curfew. Supposedly, after ten, no human was allowed to be on the streets.


    Within a few minutes, As found himself before the brothel. It was a massive mansion. At the entrance, the board was ced with the Pleasure Club name.


    At the entrance, there was also a guard who stood.


    "This is a really big ce. It must be owned by one of the two great families as well, if I''m not wrong," As muttered, observing the building.


    "Hahahah!" Lilith burst into suddenughter, surprising As.


    "Did I say something funny?" As asked.


    "I just find it amusing. You killed the two Family heads today, and now you''re hiding in their own mansion, and to gain an entry, you''ll be using their own money," Lilith exined. " If they knew it, they would''ve exploded in anger."

    A few hours ago~


    As and Lancaster stood on top of the border wall. As had just told Lancaster that he needed to leave and go far away before turning around to get back into the city.


    "Wait!" Lancaster called out.


    As stopped and nced back. "What?"


    "Take it," Lancaster brought his hand out of his pocket in which he had a few gold coins. He ced the coins in the hands of As. "Since you''ll be staying here, you''re going to need money to do what you want. I stole these coins from the men you killed. Take it and use them wisely."


    As nced at the golden coins. He kept them in his pocket, nodding before he departed.


    ~~~~


    Current time~


    "I had no option but to kill them. They had seen that I was behind it. Also, I didn''t steal the money. It was given to me," As respondedzily. "Now, don''t make me speak. I''ll look suspicious."


    As stepped closer to the entrance, only to be stopped by the guard.


    "Entrance fee is one Silver Coin," the guard informed As.


    As brought a silver coin out of his pocket and gave it to the men. There were only two silver coins in the batch that was given to him by Lancaster, and the rest were gold.


    Getting the coin, the guard stepped aside and opened the door. "You can go in."


    As entered the building, which seemed very fascinating from inside. The entrance led straight to a massive hall.


    It was As''s first timeing to such a ce. Even though he looked like a young man, mentally, he was still a teenager who was only sixteen. He didn''t know where to look. No matter where he tried looking, he only sawdies dressed in extremely short clothes. Some of them were even performing poll dances while others were just sitting on the couch, talking.


    "Where did you make mee?" As muttered, ncing at the shadow of Lilith.


    "Hey, it''s not like I enjoying here," Lilith snapped back. "Just select one of the Ladies and go to the room. That''s much better than staying in this ce. I don''t want to see all this!"


    As didn''t know who to approach here. There were manydies and a few men. The men were talking with multiple Ladies as if they were trying to decide who to select. And almost everydy here was trying to make the men select them.


    As'' gaze roamed over the entire hall as he tried to see who he could select. ording to Lilith, only after selecting and paying could he be sent to his room where he could spend the night.


    "There..." His search soon stopped as he noticed a woman standing all alone in the distance with a ss of wine in her hand. She wasn''t trying to talk to any men and just stood alone, looking lonely.


    As didn''t know why but only her eyes looked pure in this ce. He could see some kind of greed in the eyes of everyone here, but only that one woman had no desire in her eyes. Her eyes looked so pure and deste. There was just something different about her.
