Chapter 225 The Meeting
"Did you all feel it?" A bald vampire who is sitting at the far end of a square table says with his hand placed on his chin, while his elbows rest on the table.
"We all felt it.." The voices of some vampires reverberate through the room, as they reply to the bald vampire named Norris.
Currently, there are four vampires seated inside this large-looking yet simple room, with only a large table and four chairs surrounding it.
There is one similar thing that all these vampires have in common. It's the fact that they are all at the vampire lord stage, and each of them are a province leader. After detecting a strange occurrence, these vampire lords decided to link up and talk about it.
Norris, Reyes, Gale, and Odolff. These are the names of the vampires who are currently seated inside this room. Norris and Gale are both bald vampires with almost the same look and height. If one didn't know better, one would have thought they were twins. They look to be vampires below a thousand years of age, while hovering between five hundred to six hundred years. They can also be said to have the appearance of a thirty-five-year-old man, using the human criteria.
As for Reyes, he's a handsome vampire with jet-black hair that's decently styled to the back as if it was done by the goddess of beauty herself. Judging from his look, one can tell that he's the type of person who cares alot about his appearance as he can be seen trying to smooth his clothes every now and then. Compared to Norris and Gale, his age is almost a mystery as he looks like a young man in his early twenties using human criteria.
And lastly, there's Odolff. He's an older vampire with gray hair that looks unkempt. His looks are average, without anything distinctive about him except for the fact that he seems to be the oldest vampire here. The only other special thing about him is the staff he's holding which he is currently tapping on the ground. The staff looks special and attractive as it has a shiny golden color with a round handle which is shaped like a skull, with fangs sticking out of the skull's mouth.
"Norris, I felt it... It was an indescribable feeling. It felt like I was being compelled to either kneel down or just run away." That aura was brief but it wasn't anything like the first princess' own. That aura was sharp and purer than Princess Zamira's aura." Reyes speaks up while using his hand to style his hair to the back, which is what he has been doing all this while.
"Let's just say, it was not an evil aura compared to Princess Zamira's aura." Gale says, looking towards Norris. While Norris also looks towards Odolff who hasn't said a word.
"Just who could it be? Don't you think some of the other families have produced a very powerful vampire? There might be a bloody revolution if said family tries to overthrow the Mystro family from the throne. Which is something that hasn't happened in thousands of years." Norris says with a long sigh.
"No.. that isn't the case. I guess y'all are just vampire leaders for nothing. Norris, Gale, aren't you two the ones who attended the wedding ceremony of Prince Jake, the son of the second princess who is on earth?" Odolff asks while fiddling with his staff.
"The one that was chosen by the king, the crown prince?" Gale and Norris ask in unison.
"Yes, that kid.." Odolff replies.
"Jajajaja, I was very disappointed with that kid. He doesn't look any special to me except for the fact that he knows how to fuck female vampires. He also married his mother, the second princess. He's nothing like his father." Norris scoffs while badmouthing Jake.
"But I thought you were impressed by him. Besides, we didn't get to see his fighting capabilities. Have you forgotten that he's the student of the strongest vampire knight?" Gale asks, looking quite surprised at Norris's hypocrisy.
"Tch.. as I said, he's nothing special. The Mystro family is not producing powerful figures again like in the past. Even though that boy was chosen to be the crown prince, he can never become the king because all the other families have been producing monstrously talented vampires lately. There are still talented vampires in the Mystro family. For instance, Princess Zamira. But I doubt if there will be a powerful one like in the past." Norris says with disdain once again while the picture of a particular person appears in his mind. While thinking about this person, a smile forms on Norris's face.
"Our Freeman family has also been producing talented vampires lately. The most talented vampire in our family is Roth Freeman, an eighteen years old vampire who is capable of beating a vampire lord to the brink of death. To top it all off, he's also the student of the legendary knight, Alphonso." Reyes suddenly speaks up while grinning from ear to ear.
Hearing Reyes's words, the other vampire lords' eyes widen in shock.
"That's not all. When I last spoke with Roth, he said that Jake Mystro is more monstrous than we can possibly imagine. His growth is immeasurable." Reyes says, shaking his head mockingly at Norris.
"Did you talk with him over the phone?" Gale asks, his interest looking piqued.
"No, Roth is around.." Reyes says with a shrug.
"W-What? He's around?!" Gale asks again, looking shocked.
"What a coincidence.. Jake is also around and in case you didn't know, the main reason I called this meeting is to talk about the crown Prince's coronation and the aura we felt. I feel like something big is about to happen. The Sanguine family also has a monstrous vampire in their midst, and he's their trump card. Also, looking at the way things are going, I think we have to forcefully wake the vampire king, in order to prevent a big war." Odolff announces with a stiff expression.
"WHAT!!!!!!!??" All the other vampires bellow at the top of their voices, looking surprised at the turnout of things.
Norris is the one who seems to be the most surprised and angry person here, but then again, a creepy smile begins to form on his face.
'Even if the king wakes up what difference does it make? We're talking about monstrous vampires here that no one has no idea about. The kingdom is about to take a big blow.' Norris thinks inwardly, as he smiles from ear to ear.
"Inform all the other vampire lords and influential figures about the prince's coronation. This meeting is dismissed!" Odolff announces, smashing the end of his staff on the ground. After doing this, a wave of aura can be seen surrounding him, thereby causing the other vampires to swallow a mouthful of saliva. historical
As for Gale, he seems very disappointed about Norris' hypocrisy and doesn't seem to buy his view in any way.
'I have to inform Jill about how dangerous Norris is, even though I am eventually going to go back on my words to her, I have to make it clear to her. After all, everyone wants a good outcome.' Gale thinks inwardly as he gets up from his seat.
