Thanks for the chapter!
Agree with Vangoz, too many people to be 100% sure don't have an insider with loyalties elsewhere present. Also, really suspicious how Ronda's eyes kept getting focused on and appearing sleepy or hypnotized probably means she's been either spelled or more likely charmed. So chances are Ronda and a few other people have been charmed/spelled/bribed or infiltrated on orders and will cause trouble to help the vampires. Actually, considering it's the King's castle probably about 1/4 to 1/2 the people there are spies for some rich merchant, government official or foreign power trying to get inside information before it's made public for political/power/money gain or usurp the throne or something based on pure selfishness. Going to have to come up with a Plan B to protect the god chicken. Speaking of which, shouldn't only roosters be able to crow while chickens can only cluck?
@undercurses &
@degenerateafro She doesn't want to steal the chicken, she wants some good old home cooked Kentucky Fried Chicken and can tell that chicken is high quality and very delicious.
