How could a single silver bullet end an enigma known as Karlheinz?
That question still persists after my little tête-à-tête with Cordelia.
There was no particular detail or design that made it stick out as a vampire killer. It was just slightly heavier than the regular alloy brass bullets and was about the same size. It didn't give off the faint tingling sensation that I've found magical objects to give off, and Menae's heart, a seemingly magic metal detector, wasn't doing backflips over the sensation of it. But that may be because it's only half of the total weapon.
"She said there's also a gun we need to get," I said, catching Carla and Shin's attention. Carla raised his brow, possibly placing more trust in Cordelia's words now that there's more information as to how this bullet could take down Karlheinz.
"Did she say where we could find this gun?" Shin huffed, narrowing his eyes. The once hotheaded founder, ready to attack by drop of a hat, has now been reduced to insouciant by the unfortunate lack of clarity.
I shook my head, feeling equally as frustrated at the loose ends. We are getting answers, but they are all over the place. How to piece them together and make an actual plan of action is going to be the difficult part.
"The gun is important though, I have a feeling this bullet will only be as powerful as the gun that dispels it." I rake through my memories recalling that even Cordelia wasn't able to find it in her lifetime. Just exactly when did her love for Karlheinz turn to enough hate to carry out an assination?
Carla nods in agreement. "I'll take a look at the vaults, but I've never heard of a special gun residing here." He turns to his book of magic and, with a wave of his hand, it opens back to his writing on resuscitation. "We need to decide on the next person. It needs to be someone close to him, preferably before the time of his wives."
"Before?" Shin clarified. "Wouldn't his plans start with his wives?"
"Not necessarily," I chimed in. "When I was going through Menae's memories, he planned everything out to the last detail, like a line of dominoes needing to fall. I'm not sure how far back it started, but it was certainly thought about before he acquired any wives."
"Then," Shin hesitated, "how about Father? Karlheinz became his primary enemy after he teamed up with the Vibora"
Carla froze at the mention and so did I. Giesbach practically lost his mind from what I saw, sending Carla on a suicide mission getting him to lead a war. Then he locks up Krone as if his wife, who bore him two heirs, was just another prisoner. I don't quite know how Giesbach met his end, but I can infer it had to do something with his jealousy towards Carla, and by the way Carla reacted, I can also infer he might've been a key figure in Giesbach's death.
