164 The Rebels

Drogo looked at his wife and son and gestured to them to go inside. As soon as they went inside, he said, "No, my lord. I haven't seen any more humans missing." 

Lazarus sighed a breath of relief but then he reminded himself that he couldn't show that to Drogo. "Okay then. Keep a watch." 

"But, my lord," Drogo said. "Now that you are asking about it, I suspect as to how you know. Did royals have a hand in it?" He raised his eyebrow as if to intimidate him. 

Lazarus took a step closer to him and Drogo stiffened. "I haven't come here to discuss the royals," he said in a menacing voice. "Having said that, I know who was it who was instigating the humans to go to the vampires. Don't play those mind games with me Drogo. You are sorely outclassed and no match to me. Do you understand?" Lazarus couldn't speak a lie and so he had to threaten Drogo instead of speaking the truth. 

Drogo gulped. "Yes, my lord."
