"Your Majesty, I brought you some clothes," Alphonso says, waving his hand as a set of casual royal pants and a shirt materializes in his hands. "Ah, thank goodness only the two of you are here. If you had brought others along, they would have seen me in my nakedness," King Duke says, accepting the clothes and quickly putting them on. ƥandasnovel·ƈom "Well, you were the one who refused to be wrapped in clothes when we put you to slumber," Alphonso remarks, his gaze fixed ahead. Meanwhile, my mind is filled with swirling thoughts and possibilities. Now that old man Duke is awake, will he willingly hand over the throne or devise another malicious plan? Regardless of his intentions, I am confident enough to confront him and, depending on the severity of his actions, I might even consider eliminating him. "What's this smell...." King Duke suddenly says, scrunching up his nose as if trying to discern something. He abruptly stands in front of me, sniffing my clothes. Sigh... What else can I expect from this old geezer? He can identify the scent of a vampire lord right away, despite just awakening. "J-Jake, you are now a vampire lord?! Y-You have become a vampire lord!!?" King Duke asks, shaking my body vigorously, his eyes widening in shock. "I evolved to the vampire lord stage a few hours ago," I reply, scratching the back of my head. The only person who doesn't seem shocked is Alphonso. "Hehe, as expected of my grandson. I suppose it's time to hand over the kingdom," Old man Duke says, a mischievous grin forming on his face. Sigh.... This sly old man. "Your Majesty, not only has he evolved to the vampire lord stage, but he has also regained fragments of his memories," Alphonso interjects, causing Old man Duke's eyes to widen in shock once again. "Y-You now know who you are?" he asks, looking at me with a horrified expression. I nod in response. "Fufufu, I suppose I have to step down then and enjoy the company of some lovely ladies. I want to spend the rest of my life in pleasure now that my grandson is capable," Old man Duke says, a small blush appearing on his face. This old man certainly enjoys talking. I don't recall him being this talkative, but I suppose he is pleased. However, I don't feel ready to be crowned king just yet. I still have a few matters to attend to. I will discuss it with him later. _____________________________________ In a grand chamber, many vampire lords are gathered, the room befitting their status and power. The opulent space exudes an air of ancient elegance and dark majesty. Intricately carved pillars stretch towards a high ceiling adorned with ornate chandeliers, casting a soft, ethereal glow. The walls are adorned with rich, velvety tapestries depicting scenes from vampire history, their vibrant hues contrasting against the polished marble floor. Panic is etched on the faces of the vampire lords as they exchange uneasy glances. Silence permeates the room, broken only by the soft rustling of fabric and the faint sound of wings as some vampires shift nervously.I think you should take a look at Suddenly, one of the vampire lords steps forward, his voice resonating with authority. His piercing gaze sweeps across the room, demanding attention. "My fellow lords, we must address the news that has reached our ears," he begins, his tone filled with concern and trepidation. The gathered vampire lords lean in, their eyes fixed on him, eager to hear what he has to say. The tension in the room is palpable, weighing heavily on their shoulders. "We have received word that our slumbering king, Duke Mystro, has been awakened," the vampire lord continues, his voice laced with disbelief. "This news brings about a profound shift in power and calls for a reckoning of our past actions." Murmurs of disbelief and apprehension ripple through the room as the vampire lords absorb the gravity of the situation. They had spoken ill of the king while he slumbered, and many had looked down upon his heir, Prince Jake, the vampire with a wild aura. Conversations ignite among the vampire lords, voices overlapping as they express their concerns and fears. They discuss the severity of their actions, recognizing that they had underestimated the prince's potential and belittled the bloodline they now must face. "He possesses a wild aura, a power beyond what we had anticipated," one vampire lord says, his voice filled with a mix of awe and unease. "We must tread carefully, for the king, now awakened, possesses the authority to exact punishment upon us without consequence." Another vampire lord adds, his tone tinged with regret, "We have underestimated the strength and determination of the royal bloodline. Our disrespect may yield dire consequences." The room buzzes with urgency as the vampire lords grapple with the implications of their actions. Regret and unease intertwine, swirling through the chamber like a gathering storm. They realize the need to rectify their past transgressions and find a way to navigate the new dynamics of the vampire kingdom. Prince Jake, the awakened vampire lord, is no longer an underestimated heir. The news of his transformation has spread throughout the kingdom for reasons unknown. As the discussions continue, a collective determination takes hold within the vampire lords. They recognize the importance of unity and the need to support their new king. The room, once filled with panic and silence, now buzzes with renewed purpose and resolve. In this chamber of shadows and power, the vampire lords vow to stand by Prince Jake, to honor the bloodline they had scorned, and to restore the balance that had been disrupted. However, even as these vampire lords have a change of heart, it does not diminish the opposition that still remains within the vampire ranks. Many talented vampires among the lords remain against the royal family. Now, with Alphonso, the strongest knight, at their side, and the king awakened, the vampire lords fear that the vampire planet will undergo drastic changes that could shift the balance of power. =============================== Join our Discord server for updates and to view character illustrations. https://discord.gg/RF8pvt6KJv Cast your votes using power stones and golden tickets to unlock more chapters.
