Chapter 248: Owned Her Heart
Days passed, and everyone inside the Moon Clan Territory became ever so busy in response to the King’s instructions. In particular, their preparation for yet another attack against the Convel Society was taking up much of their resources. One person, in particular, worked hard in making it all happen. Putting in double-time was Janus as he was busy completing the project pertaining to the undead. He wanted it done as early as possible, seeing as its completion meant he’d get to marry Raine even faster.
Looking on in yet another experiment, Janus let out a sigh as he monitored the vitals of the latest test subject he observed. It almost looked as if it was yet another failure. However, taking yet another glance, he almost let out a scream as he reviewed the test results. They all came out perfect! It was the perfect undead, just as the King wanted it.
Immediately, the doctor reported the new development to King Marcus, who wasted no time in visiting his secret facility to check it out. As soon as his King arrived, Janus put one of the undead inside the cage alongside a chained rogue werewolf. There, King Marcus watched as the undead and the werewolf fought. The undead’s movement was more active compared to its very slow movements before. As opposed to fighting, its goal was not to win but to infect and spread its venom on the werewolf. As such, it allowed itself to get bitten by its opponent, all while delivering its own bites to hasten the infection process.
"This is good, Janus. How long do you think it’ll take for you to create more of these monsters?" Marcus inquired. It was amazing. He was delighted with how the undead managed to kill the rogue werewolf with but a simple bite, its opponent only lasting five minutes after infection. "I want to attack the Convel Society soon. If you can produce a hundred of these things or more, then I’ll proceed with the attack. Will less than a month be enough?"
Janus took a bit of time to think before he confidently responded, "Yes, I can definitely create a hundred and more, my King. I’ll strive to do it in less than a month."
"Good," Marcus nodded. "Although, it seems to me that you’re really desperate to proceed with the wedding."
"Indeed, my King. If possible, I want to proceed with my wedding to the Princess before the attack on the Convel Society," Janus voiced out his thoughts. He had sacrificed more of his time doing everything the King wanted just to please him, and it should be his time to reap what he had sowed!
"Alright, we’ll schedule the attack to take place in three weeks’ time," the King declared. "You’ll marry my daughter inside the Yue Mansion Garden before then, and the whole territory will stand as witness to the event."
"Are we going to invite a select group of people from the Earth and Sun Clans, my King?" Janus curiously asked. While it was a hollow question, seeing as he really didn’t care, the approval of the two Clans would go a long way for his standing within the Mirage.
