The illusion of choice.
The illusion of authority.
The illusion of having everything under control.
That was the type of illusion the Vampire King, Jacob de Vile, was under.
The one to cast that illusion was none other than the elderly gypsy.
But the most dangerous thing about all of this was that the illusion was not a product of magic. No. It was born from words, trust, and assurances.
This was what Sandra meant when she said to Adam, "Jacob isn't who you should be wary of."
Based on everything Sandra knew, she had deemed the elderly gypsy the greatest threat!
And even after spending centuries in this secret plane, she barely knew anything about her. The gypsy was the greatest enigma in this accursed place.
Most of what Sandra knew about the gypsy was that Jacob owed a great favour to her.
And she had an idea about why that was.
Leaving the two alone in the throne room, Sandra stepped out and moved through the dark halls and corridors of the castle.
