The Crystal Knight

Don't Protect

"Stop!" shouted Luci.

The vampire laughed. "You want to shoot me with a toy like that?"

"Toys? Let's prove it." Luci aimed at one of the vampire's legs. As soon as the shot was fired, the vampire's right leg was immediately injured.

"Damn it!?! Watch out!?!" shouted the vampire and was about to run away. Luci fired another shot, this time straight through the heart. The vampire burned to the ground in midair.

Luci immediately approached Nathan. Just then Max arrived.

"Nat!" Max shouted. "Are you okay?" Max asked.

Nathan didn't say anything. He looked very shocked. Luci and Max immediately took him into the house.

"What exactly happened?" Max saw it all. Including the creature Dracula who is now better known as the vampire. It all seemed absurd, but it was too obvious to his own eyes.

Luci didn't answer. She served a glass of water in front of Nathan.

"Drink, so you calm down," said Luci.

Nathan immediately drank the water in the glass until it was finished. He was very restless. The reality of vampires is not just a fantasy. These mythical creatures really do exist.

"Give us an explanation. This is too unreasonable." Max ruffled his hair in frustration.

"We are also investigating everything that happened. Several officials and certain people were killed by someone gruesomely. Some were covered in claws and lacerations, while others died from bites to the neck and bleeding profusely. No one believed all of this. something to do with vampires and werewolves. That's why trained agents are assigned to many areas to investigate. And this is probably the first time I've seen a vampire in person." Luci said honestly.

"I see, I had no idea that vampires could be so easily killed with bullets," said Max.

"Don't get me wrong, the bullet I used was a special bullet. If fired this bullet will explode ultraviolet light inside the vampire's body. My first shot missed so the second shot managed to set them on fire." Luci showed the bullet. "We made weapons using film references to werewolves and vampires just in case. The bullet body is made of silver that can kill werewolves whereas when it pierces through flesh, the bullet explodes ultraviolet light that can kill vampires. If it turns out to be a human being the culprit, they will still die using this weapon," said Luci.

Nathan listened to all of Luci's words.

"But strange, why is the government making illogical allegations that lead to vampires and werewolves?" asked Nathan, who had begun to calm down a bit.

"This is related to the three-human agreement that three humans made thousands of years ago. I will tell you as long as I promise not to tell this to anyone. This is actually a secret state mission. The people must not know about it so there will be no mass panic."

Nathan and Max looked at each other. Both of them were very curious to know all about the threehuman agreement.

"Okay, I promise," said Max.

"Me too," Nathan said.

Luci looked at the two of them. Meanwhile, Eve, who already knew history, just sat listening beside Nathan's chair.

"Threehumans are a pact between humans, vampires and werewolves. The three of them promise to live in their respective realms in this world. If one violates or attacks another creature, the traitors will be killed by the Crystal Knights. However, for thousands of years never happened, until this agreement was almost forgotten. But the leaders of previous countries to the next generation continue to make this agreement not forgotten. They handed over the secret key from the leader of the previous country to the leader of the current state. If later there was a strange murder with signs tears, scratches or bite marks, then the leader of the country at that time could use the key. Where in it was the file of the secret agreement."

Nathan and Max looked at each other. The two of them did not expect such a thing to exist in this world.

"If thousands of years we are all safe. Why are they only now attacking. Will it take that long for them to invade the human world?" asked Nathan.

"No. You're right. They must have attacked for a strong enough reason. For now we only know one thing if the attack started since the secret Future Laboratory project was underway. While maintaining the security of each area, other divisions are busy monitoring the Future Laboratory. Including the disappearance of one of the professor who works there."

"Are you referring to the professor as my father?" asked Nathan.

Lucy frowned. "Father?" mumbled Luci not understanding.

"Yes, my father, William." Nathan looked sad.

"So you're Professor William's son?" Lucy was very surprised.

"Yes, you're right. I left the house because the hired man at the laboratory where my father worked kept chasing me." Nathan explains why he left the house and stays at Max's.

Luci stared at Nathan in disbelief. All this time she had been looking for William's son, because he was assigned to look after him. The boss suspects something and feels that if the professor working at the Future Laboratory is the project leader who knows the whole project, then his son must be targeted. Especially by the laboratory.

"I've been looking for you all this time. Because my job is to stay near you and take care of you," said Luci.

Eve who heard Luci's words felt like laughing. How could a human as weak as Luci take care of Nathan. All this time, the only one who had looked after Nathan since childhood was Eve. No one can match his protection. Today Luci was just lucky. Vampires may be afraid of ultraviolet light, but that doesn't mean they're easy to get shot at. With their immense strength, vampires could repel any bullets that drew near to them with their strength. While the vampires they had just defeated were wild and hungry vampires. So it is not easy to beat and easy to attack.

"Don't be kidding. I don't need that kind of guard. I'm fine anyway. The vampire who was chasing me just now must have accidentally found me. So, protect yourself."

After saying this, Nathan got up and entered the room.

"What's wrong with what I said. Why is he offended," said Luci.

Max shook his head at Luci. "I admit you're smart. But it turns out you're weak at understanding other people's feelings."

"Hey!" Luci shouted in annoyance.

Max went after Nathan into the room. While Eve watched everything in silence. On the other hand he is lucky to have Luci who will help him take care of Nathan from now on. Even though Eve was annoyed at first seeing Luci's gaze on Nathan. Finally Eve got the hang of it. He realized that their worlds were different, so Eve should have realized that.

Luci made the call as usual. She reported what had just happened to his superiors.
