HELLBOUND WITH YOU 🅱️🅾️🆗 5⃣

Chapter 450: Planned

Outside the mansion, Bam and the other vampires who just stepped out of the house were utterly shocked to see their master. They never expected him to arrive and show up.

"Y-your highness," Bam blurted out and Jisoo just glanced at him, passing him by without a word.

Bam and his comrades fell into a trance that Jisoo had already walked through the entrance door before they snapped. Bam could never forget that masked man they saw fight against Lisa and his suspicion about that man being their Prince Jisoo still lingered within him.

But Jisoo was his master and his loyalty to him wasn’t something that was so easily broken from mere suspicions. Despite their doubts, Bam and the other vampires could never turn their back on their master and future king. Besides, they had no proof that the masked man was indeed their Prince Jisoo. There was still the possibility that someone else out there studied their Prince Jisoo and impersonated him the way that witch impersonated their Princess Mira. The possibility of there being another immortal was so small and yet, it had happened which made their theory seem not that far fetched after all.

...

Charles, the butler, closed the door after Jisoo walked into the living room.

Everyone turned their heads in his direction. It was obvious in everyone’s faces that they didn’t expect his arrival.

Only Lisa, it seemed, wasn’t as surprised or bothered by this unexpected visitor.
He simply glanced at Jisoo as the man made himself comfortable before them without saying a single word.

The living room became silent. They all could have heard a pin dropping on the lawn outside. Chaeyoung was staring at Jisoo while Jennie gaze looked at all their faces, waiting to see who would speak first. She felt that Jisoo arrival made the atmosphere somewhat awkward. She knew exactly what was on everyone’s mind because she thought the same thing. If he had betrayed them, then why was he here, blatantly flaunting his presence?

After a minute of silence and people giving each other confused looks at the new arrival, Lisa finally broke the silence.
"So? Why don’t you speak first, Jisoo." He said. Jennie was watching Lisa as he spoke and then she looked at Jisoo, expectantly waiting for his answer. It didn’t escape her that everyone else’s eyes were also locked onto Jisoo, just as curious as she was.

"I believe that the new witch queen definitely has more valuable pieces of information to relay than me, Lisa. So why don’t we start with her?" Jisoo finally spoke as his gaze fell on Chaeyoung.

The new witch queen could only sigh. She somehow expected that this vampire prince wouldn’t speak. But she wasn’t bothered by Jisoo suspicious silence anymore. She had already seen everything through the former queen’s memories and she found out that almost everything that Jisoo had been doing in the last three months had a reason. She now knew why he was doing all these things. Although there were still things that were questionable and incredibly shady about him that she couldn’t understand, she decided not to stick her nose into Jisoo business because she was now more than convinced that everything that this man was doing had a purpose.
Even now, she would bet her life on the fact that he was here for a reason. His actions were never uncalculated or impulsive and she was sure that this sudden appearance wasn’t because he just felt like visiting.Moreover, she now knew that Lisa was never unaware. The reason why Lisa had never forced Jisoo to explain anything was because Lisa understood Jisoo’s way of dealing with things more than anyone else. Lisa knew that this man wouldn’t do anything without a reason and he completely trusted this man, even with his life, it seemed.

The silence dragged on as Lisa gaze on Jisoo became even sharper, causing Jisoo to continue speaking. "Well, the only valuable piece of information we gathered from last night’s encounter is the fact that woman can be killed and the one who can kill her is your dear wife," Jisoo said, stating the obvious.

Chaeyoung and Lisa weren’t surprised with Jisoo’s words but Jennie was, and so were Kai and Chanyeol. The three of them creased their brows in confusion.

Lisa leaned his face on his knuckles, his eyes sharp as he gazed at Jisoo.
"Your plan put my wife in grave danger last night, Jisoo," he told him with an unhappy and ominous voice but Jisoo was unfazed and faced Lisa’s sharp gaze head on, as usual.

"There was no other way, Lisa. You know that. And don’t forget that you entrusted me with this. If things didn’t get to that point last night, I don’t think you would have ever drank Jennie’s blood and finally got cured," Jisoo argued. "Last night needed to happen for many different reasons. Don’t expect me to easily fool that woman without fooling every single one of you first."

Jennie gaze could only dart back and forth between l and Jisoo. What were they saying? What happened last night was part of Jisoo’s plan? Did Lisa know about it? What the hell was going on? She looked at Chaeyoung and noticed that she didn’t look confused or worried or anything of the sort. It seemed this really was all part of some grand plan that Jisoo and Lisa cooked up.

"That woman is shrewd. She would not easily fall into anything but a well planned trap. I have spent the last three months trying to bring her out of her lair and planning this trap," Jisoo continued.

"So you gained her trust by experimenting with those hybrids?" Lisa asked.

Jisoo fell silent for a while. "Yes. I used the bodies of the rogue vampires you killed in the last three months. But even that wasn’t enough for her to fully trust me so I had to be careful and resort to last night’s plan. My only miscalculation was that I didn’t know, that woman actually wanted Jennie blood. She wanted Jennie blood and wanted you alive at the same time, Lisa."
