"I'm leaving now so that you can rest, my dear Ivy," Maxwell said and turned around.

Ivy watched as Maxwell went towards the exit and disappeared instantly without opening the door.

She released a deep sigh. Her knees weaken after she discovered that her sister was also trapped inside the castle. Previously, she doesn't mind dying alone inside the castle but now that her sister is here, she just can't die without trying anything!

She must save her sister!

If there is no chance that they can get out alive, at least they will die together.

She must find Kate as soon as possible! They must be reunited at all costs!

Maxwell encouraged her to think of a good plan so that she can see her sister quickly!

But right now, her mind is blurry, she can think straight. Fear, worry, and excitement are all jumbled in her mind, creating a confusing chaotic chain of thoughts.

But she needs to think of a good idea quickly! She was worried that the old woman who took her sister is a ferocious being, she might harm her sister!

She can't forgive herself if something bad happened to her sister.

She needs to think fast!

A few minutes later, her head is already aching yet she failed to come up with a good idea and plan. Dammit, she's feeling miserable and panicking, every minute counts!

She shut off her eyes for a few seconds and took a calming breath. She needs to relax her mind because she's feeling tense and when she is panicking she can't think straight.

Maybe, she needs to take a nap, so that she will have a refreshed mind after she wakes up later. Right now, she was agonizing inside and her turbulent emotions are making her nerves jittery.

She starts counting from 1...2...3....4...10....15...20...up to 100...freeing her mind from the stress that she was suffering right now.

Slowly, her eyelids began dropping and she started dozing off.

She finally falls asleep.

Outside the room.

In the brothers meeting place.

Maxwell, Xenon, and Lothaire were looking at each other. They were having a lively discussion on how to use Ivy to get Kate.

"The question is...Is it safe to use Ivy to get Kate?" Xenon has been repeating the question five times already.

There are many reasons their plans could go wrong. They were staring at the possibility of losing both the sisters which would derail their plans of resurrecting their father.

"Using Kate as a bait to get Kate back is a bad idea, brother!" Lothaire commented negatively.

"It's just a plan that I'm entertaining in my mind. I'm not saying we will go ahead with it. That's why we are brainstorming right now. Maybe we could still create better plans. But if we can't come up with a new idea, we might as well proceed in making Ivy the bait to lure Kate out. If the sisters will see each other, normally they don't want to be separated from each other, am I right?" Maxwell said.

"You have a point, brother," Xenon observed.

"I promised Ivy, that once she can get her sister to her side, and after father will be resurrected with their help, I will grant them their freedom," Maxwell said.

"Huh? Are you serious, are you going to grant them freedom?" Lothaire asked indignantly.

Maxwell laughed. "No. I'm just trying to deceive Ivy. Why would I set them free? The quality of their blood is rare and one of a kind, if we have these women by our side we don't need to go far and wide for our blood consumption. Am I right, brothers?"

"Exactly! It's a big loss on our side if we set them free," Xenon interjected.

"If we badly wanted Kate back, I'm sure Ivy feels the same. We both wanted Kate back. Maybe Ivy can also give us a better suggestion on how to get her sister back, let's give her a benefit of the doubt. After all, sister's love is much stronger compared to anything. And most of the time problematic people can think of brilliant ideas out of desperation," Maxwell said confidently.

"But brothers, you remembered that Esmeralda warned us to stay away from Kate? Do we risk the chance to provoke her wrath?" asked Lothaire.

Maxwell shrugged. "We have nothing to lose, right? We are going to die inside this castle sooner or later if we can't get out alive. We might as well play our last card, right," he said with ironclad determination flashing in his dark orbs.

The brothers nodded their heads.

"Anyways, we are not rushing things right now. We have plenty of time to come up with a brilliant idea," Maxwell added.

"Alright, our plan must be flawless so that Esmeralda won't be able to detect that we are planning something behind her back," Xenon said.

"Once Esmeralda know about our plan, she might not hesitate to finish us all. I just can't accept that we will die here inside the castle without gaining our freedom back!" Lothaire said while gritting his teeth in anger.

The brothers continue brainstorming for anything they could come up with that would guarantee victory on their plans. Now that two sisters are already inside the castle, they can't risk failing, or else they will never have a chance to see the outside world again and all the vampire clan will perish into nothingness, burned into ashes.

A few minutes later.

Maxwell sweeps his gaze on his brother's faces. "I think we now need the youngest of the sisters to come into the castle. What do you think, guys?" he asked them.

"Yes, about time! The more the merrier!" replied Xenon.

Lothaire grinned excitedly. "Time to see my girl!"

Xenon looked at his brother. "So-? Do you already have an effective plan on how to summon the youngest?"

Maxwell grinned.

"I think I have. Since we can't get out of the castle. We can try summoning my pets and let them do the job. They are small and can fly undetected. If they succeeded, we can have two sisters in our hand...and even if we can't get Kate...we will go ahead with the blood transfusion with Ivy and her youngest sister. It's worth trying than going head to head with Esmeralda. Getting the youngest of the sisters inside the castle is also our top priority as of this moment," Maxwell explained in detail.

The rest of the brothers nodded their heads in agreement.
