'They have been busy from what I see, but I think the duel is not over here' Asteri points to a huge hole behind the place where the throne should have been 'the fight has moved elsewhere, but we don't care now' Aurelion says .
'Indeed, it's time to go check out the underground' Asteri headed to the place where the steps were where they led to the underground. He goes down the stairs and finds himself where he had arrived the first time 'this time we go to this other side' Asteri walk in the opposite direction from the one where there was the room where they had fought.
'Bars, the prisons were held here so' Asteri saw some rooms with bars and in some of them there were still chained skeletons 'having criminals below where you live doesn't give you a bit of disquiet?' Asteri asks Aurelion 'I don't know, not that I'm interested in trapping someone, why do it then? kill him is enough 'he answers' the easiest way but not always the right one, at least it works like this in the lower worlds' explains Asteri.
In addition to prisons, they also found torture rooms, gloomy rooms, sewers, etc.
"Above it is all beautiful and dilapidated and below the opposite" Asteri murmurs 'I am more and more curious to know what history this castle has but we have not found even a clue or notes describing its origins' says Asteri.
'Maybe your vampire lover-Betty knows the origins of this place' Aurelion suggests 'maybe, after all he has memories of when it was under his control' Asteri headed for the hall where the fight took place, before returning upstairs to the room where he had let the two sleeping beauties sleep.
'I was thinking anyway that if we want to make this castle our base we have a lot of work to do to make it at least decent,' Asteri thinks.
'Good luck,' Aurelion sarcastically says, which made Asteri roll his eyes. They arrived in the hall where the fighting took place 'this room ... now that I inspect it better ... it looks like a kind of funeral room, where to bury the dead' Asteri notes that in the walls of the room there are many tombs where the deceased can rest instead to bury them underground.
He stopped in front of the room where he had had his first time with Betty, opening it he went in 'you got into it, he wasn't so upset when you first saw him' Aurelion comments '...' Asteri remains silent and directs his look towards the destroyed portal platform 'you say that if we find the right materials it is a wizard we can create a portal and connect it to a transportable object so that I can come back here whenever I want?' Aurelion replies almost immediately 'sure, but building a portal platform is not something for everyone and also we would need a capable wizard, not a novice'
'Of course then we just have to look for someone who can do it, but first I have to reach my father's city' Asteri still remembers his main mission. 'Shall we go upstairs?' Aurelion asks 'yes, let's go and see if they have woken up' Asteri comes out of the underground and returns to the upper part of the castle. He walked to the room and before opening he tried to hear if something was happening, but there was only silence. He silently enters the room and still sees that the two were asleep 'still not awake?' Asteri was perplexed 'I believe it! you will have tired them all night, you are the one who is abnormal, unfortunately I can feel that you still have a lot of energy to spend to copulate 'Asteri chuckled slightly.
He walked over to the bed and sat down gently on the bottom of it. She looked at the faces of Allatu and Betty, who seemed to be relaxed 'how quiet can they be?' while reflecting Allatu slowly open his eyes yawn "aaaaah good morning darling, are you awake already? you are also dressed" Allatu gets up and gave Asteri a deep kiss "good morning love, yes I took a stroll around the castle and I saw a lot of rooms "Asteri replies, taking her and making her sit on his lap" so did you scour our new home? " Then he rests his head on her shoulder and places his hand on Asteri's hand.
"New house is a big word, a lot of things have to be fixed, there will be a lot of work to do" he gently shakes Allatu's hand. In time even Betty wakes up "mmmm where am I?" she wonders confused "oh, you woke up sleeping beauty, don't you remember what happened last night?" Asteri jokes, hearing what he said, Betty blushed and hid under the covers "haha you are really cute you know? but isn't it dangerous for you to stay in the sunlight?" Asteri asks worriedly.
"No, I'm a half-breed, and we have no problem walking during the day, although most of us like to act at night" she explains, pulling only the upper part of her face "I understand, listen to Betty by chance you know whose was this castle? " he asked curiously "no, when I arrived here it was already as you see it, but a short time later a stranger arrived, a man hidden in a black robe, whom I immediately attack because he had a suspicious aura. But without even fighting he let out out that stick and used it to control me, most likely he was a follower of the one who controlled me. After being subdued, the man went away and I became a remote controlled puppet, he made me head towards the tower where he was positioned the platform of the portal is from there I activated it and the undead werewolves came out, and with their strength and the guide of that bastard they moved the platform in the underground "
"And the throne?" Allatu asked "a-ah that moved me" Betty looked away. Both Asteri and Allatu looked at her strangely.
