The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 193 193: Idol



The place was filled with life. Even though this was an orphanage, people seemed happier here, as they should\'ve been after all they went through.

With time, the kids were starting to regain the smiles on their faces. The youngsters that Atlas had saved in the Severis Castle recognized him. As soon as they saw Atlas, their eyes lit up.

They stood up. One after another, every child started thanking him for saving them. The children who didn\'t know who Atlas was also found out more about him. They had often heard about the conditions in which the others lived in the Severis Castle. They had heard a lot about their savior, who helped them achieve freedom.

"See?" Jason commented as if talking to Atlas. "That\'s the change you brought for everyone here. You might think that it was not enough, but for us, it was more than we could\'ve asked for. It was because of you that we are here today."

Atlas didn\'t react right away. He was still trying to absorb everything. Was this really the change that he brought?

The children here looked at him like he was some great figure. There were many people who looked at him like that, even outside, whenever it was revealed that he was a Vampire, but their gazes were partially because of their fear of him. On the other hand, the children here didn\'t fear him. Why would they even fear him? He was their savior.

Even the kids that he just saved recently were there, with gratefulness in their eyes.

As Atlas was standing in amazement, a young girl came forward, carrying a small booklet in her hand.

The girl seemed to be barely eleven or twelve years old. She stopped a few feet away from Atlas.

"Sir, I was told that one can take signs of special people." The girl raised her hand, extending the booklet toward him. " You are a special person to me. It\'s because of you that I\'m free today. Can you sigh this drawing I made of you?"

Atlas glanced down at the drawing in the booklet, which wasn\'t bad honestly. In fact, the drawing was only better than what was hanging on the wall, even though it wasn\'t great either.

Seeing the drawing, Atlas couldn\'t stop himself from smiling.

He patted the young girl\'s head. "I\'m not a special person. You all are the special ones. I didn\'t help you; you helped me... Thank you."

He felt a lot better after seeing them. It made him realize that his actions weren\'t futile in the end. Even if he didn\'t change the entire world and couldn\'t change it, he still changed at least some lives for the better.

He signed on the drawing happily.

The young girl thanked him before walking back.

Seeing this orphanage wasn\'t just a revelation for Atlas. It was also something for Lancaster. Lancaster knew that Atlas wasn\'t like other Vampires. He knew that Atlas was different. This just proved it even further. He was really glad that if he ever had to side with a Vampire, it was Atlas.

Atlas glanced at Lilith, who was also seemingly lost.

"Lilith, make the strongest Vampire Warding Formation around the orphanage. No Vampire should ever be able to harm these kids. Make some protection spells as well."

This place was like a sanctuary for Atlas. He didn\'t want to have it be destroyed in the future. He didn\'t want the children to be forced back to the life that he escaped, so he had decided he was going to do what he could.

If there were people that were after the kids of the orphanage, he was going to do what he could to keep the place safe. Since he couldn\'t stay here all his life, the next best step was to use the Protection Spell.

"I\'ll do it when we leave. I\'ll make this place secure." Lilith agreed.

"Come, let\'s take you to the doctor." Jason once again started walking.

Atlas followed Jason, observing all the decorations that were on the wall.

The small group of four was brought to another room which seemed more like an office.

"I didn\'t tell him about you yet. I wanted him to be surprised," Jason informed Atlas before knocking on the door.

As he knocked on the door, a voice came from inside. "It\'s open. Come in."

Jason gestured to Atlas to take the lead.

Atlas pushed the door open and entered the room. There was only one table and a few chairs inside the room. The table was filled with papers that the doctor was going through. He seemed really busy in it.

"Yeah, what is it?" He raised his head, finally taking a glance to see who had arrived.

As soon as he raised his head, his eyes widened. Atlas was standing before him!

"It\'s you!" He stood up, shocked.

"You have made a nice place here. Not bad," Atlas stepped forward, taking a chair. "You don\'t need to stand though. I\'m a guest here; you\'re the owner of this beautiful place."

"You know, you don\'t have to be sarcastic by calling this place beautiful. I know it\'s shabby, but this was the best I could afford. As you might know, I am not wealthy," the doctor answered.

"I spent most of my money trying to get those kids home, but even after that, there were many kids left that didn\'t have a home anymore. So with whatever money I had left, I made this place for them to stay."

"I\'m not being sarcastic." Atlas shook his head. "I really like this place. It\'s a good place to stay... So peaceful. Anyway, it\'s good to see that you\'re all doing good now."

"We are surviving, yeah. Things could\'ve been much worse," the doctor smiled wryly. "So, how did you find out that we were here? I don\'t think you should\'ve known. Also, who are the people with you?"

The doctor was slightly pleased that Atlas wasn\'t mocking his efforts and instead appreciating them, but still, he was curious how Atlas reached here.
