Chapter 518 The Sleeping Vampires


    Sylvia''s POV:


    The castle was bigger than I expected.


    I explored it floor by floor. As I walked around, I encountered several locked rooms. I used my


    unlocking skills and opened them one after the other.


    There was a coffin in each of these locked rooms.


    The coffins were all made of century-old, fine-quality wood. They all looked the same, but the


    patterns carved on the wood were different.


    I pried open a dark wooden coffin lid and saw Ahern sleeping inside. His hands were crossed over


    his chest, and his curly golden hair rested softly on the pillow. Without his fangs, he looked like a


    good, innocent boy.


    I loudly cleared my throat and feigned a cough to see if he would wake up. However, Ahern didn''t


    even stir. I purposefully made noises, but he slept like a log.


    ''Hmm... Interesting.'' I happily walked around to explore the other rooms. All these vampires were


    asleep.


    "Sylvia! Let me out. I''ll howl." Yana was so excited that she wanted me to turn into my wolf form.


    After a moment''s hesitation, I finally agreed, "Okay. Let''s test the loudness of a noise required


    to wake up the vampires."


    Then, I turned into a wolf. I stretched out my limbs to rx my muscles and shook my head, ready


    to howl.


    "Woof!"


    First, I let out a tentative t noise.


    "Woof!"


    Then, I increased my tone a decibel higher.


    "Woof... woof... woof..."


    I let out a musical howl that gradually grew louder.


    Finally, I concluded these vampires would sleep soundly even if there was an earthquake.


    Satisfied with the result, I transformed back into human form.


    "Why don''t we use this opportunity to kill him?" Yana suggested.


    After mulling it over, I disagreed. "Killing a vampire isn''t an easy task. If we fail to kill him and end up


    waking up the other vampires, it will only put us in a dangerous situation. We should not take the


    risk."


    I went to the next room and found Ellis lying there.


    The girl was decked up in a gorgeous outfit even while sleeping. I wondered how ufortable it


    must be to wear a fiveyered dress to sleep.


    Even turning over would be a difficult task.


    But she was sleeping soundly without the slightest of worries.


    Just then, an idea urred to me. I wanted to tease Ellis. I pulled her white veil aside to see her


    wless face. Then, I found a pen and drew on her face.


    I could hear Yana chuckling in my head.


    Once satisfied, I threw the pen away and pped my hands. "There''s no need to worry. We can do


    whatever we want in this castle."


    "Go to the front gate! We might be able to get out," Yana suggested.


    Although I didn''t have much hope, I still followed Yana''s words and tried to open the gate of the


    castle.


    However, as expected, it didn''t work.


    The gate was stronger than steel and didn''t seem to budge. I knew I couldn''t even smash it with my


    fist.


    Finally, I went back, took out thest remnant of the candle, and lit it again.

    Just then, my gaze fell on a luxurious room at the far end of the corridor on the third floor. I


    assumed it was the master bedroom.


    The coffin in the middle of the room also looked opulent.


    I walked around the coffin, admiring it. Although it had no carvings, the gilded edge looked


    exquisite.


    The coffin emanated a faint fragrance. Unlike the usual wooden fragrance of other coffins I''d met


    earlier, this aroma smelled more like a kind of resin extracted from an old piece of wood.


    I tried lifting the lid of the coffin with one hand, but it remained intact. I put the candle on a table


    aside and walked back to the coffin. After taking a deep breath, I grasped the lid of the coffin with


    both my hands and yanked it open with all my strength.


    Hobson was lying inside.
