Chapter 498 Ashley''s Name te


    Sylvia''s POV:


    I reached for the name te and looked at it. It couldn''t be a mere coincidence that two vampires


    had the exact same name...


    But those local werewolf soldiers had said that the ve Ashley was an abandoned vampire. How


    on earth could she havee from the Maurice n?


    The Maurice n was one of the biggest, most powerful vampire ns. They were so well-known


    that even I knew about them, since my mother had mentioned that name when I was young.


    Several wars between vampires and werewolves had been started by this n, together with other


    forces.


    After the werewolf race and the vampire race signed a peace treaty, the Maurice n withdrew from


    the public eye. I hadn''t heard anything about this n in years.


    So why was there a name te with that n''s name here in this wardrobe? It was very likely that


    this was the old castle of the Maurice n.


    I slipped the name te into a hidden pocket in the dress I was wearing and retreated from the


    wardrobe.


    "Do you think this Ashley Maurice is the same Ashley we saw in Geoffrey''s pack? That vampire


    ve?" I asked Yana curiously.


    Yana thought for a while. "I believe so. They should be one and the same vampire, so this castle


    probably isn''t that far from the pack."


    "I''m really confused. The local soldiers all said that Ashley was a loser without any special power


    and that was why she was abandoned by her kind, but if she is really of Maurice descent, then how


    could she have ended up a ve?" As I talked to Yana, I kept searching the room for more clues.


    Members of big ns were usually united, at least on the surface. No matter how serious the


    internal conflicts were, they had to maintain dignity when facing the outside world.


    If Ashley really was a member of the Maurice n, her nsmen should have protected her and


    she wouldn''t have be the lowliest ve in a werewolf pack.


    "There must be a veryplicated story behind all this," Yana said in distress. "I really want to go


    out now. It''s getting too stuffy here."


    "Hold on a little longer. It''s almost time for dinner," Iforted her.


    As I spoke, I silently took a mental note of theyout of the whole room. After making sure that there


    was nothing else to see in the room, I blew out the candle.


    "Why''d you do that?" Yana whined.


    I knew she didn''t like darkness, so I exined to her patiently, "The candle might be usefulter, so


    I need to save it."


    "Oh, I see. Maybe it''lle in handy when we escape!" Yana came to her senses at once. Her


    cunning tone made me chuckle.


    "Yes, so calm down, okay?"


    "I promise I won''t be nervous. I''m a very brave wolf now!"


    "Good! Yana, you''re the best."


    I praised my wolf happily, and what would''ve been a dull waiting period became less boring with her


    around.


    I sat on the edge of the bed and rested idly. Then I stood up and walked back and forth in the dark


    room.


    "What''re you doing, Sylvia?" Yana asked curiously.


    "I''m taking note of the size of the room." I leaned against one wall and walked slowly to the opposite


    wall, counting the steps.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    "How''s that useful?" Yana was clearly confused.


    "If we can find out how many floors and how many rooms this castle has, we can calcte its


    overall size."


    I found myself hoping that the castle would be dark all the time. That way, it''d be convenient for me


    to make my escape.


    By listening to the clock tick, I knew roughly what time it was. It wasn''t until it was almost eight


    o''clock did I sit back down in bed, waiting as though nothing had happened.


    "It''s been so long. When will theye?" Yana started squirming in my mind anxiously.


    "Wait just a little longer. Why don''t you take a nap? I''ll wake you up when someonees," I


    suggested.


    But just then, I heard the sound of familiar footsteps.
