“This Lady you mentioned,
Is she a Noble?”
Nux questioned with a curious look on his face.
The Vampires Nobles.
They were the beings that Aisha warned them about.
Normal Vampires were alright, they were usually independent and weren’t exactly strong. Most of them just choose to laze around and are rarely serious about life.
The environment the Vampires live in is too safe for their own good, it makes them lazy and weak, the Vampires are inherently stronger than most of the races in Yrniel, and their Potential is unmatched, with myriads of abilities that they gain when their cultivation rises, it makes them a scary opponent, however, with that, comes overconfidence, arrogance, and ignorance, that’s what most of the Vampires are infected by,
However,
Things change when it comes to Vampire Nobles.
The Nobles never slacked or laze around,
Even the Baron House, the weakest noble house of the Vampire Kingdom had a Peak Semi Saint ruling over them, that is how strong the Vampire Nobles were.
So if these Vampires actually worked for the Noble family, it definitely would make sense for them to have the ‘authority’ to take them into the Blood Kingdom.
Hearing Nux’s question, Cassius frowned,
“Didn’t I tell you that I work for the Bloodheart Family?”
Nux frowned.
The Bloodheart Family?
Seeing his expression, Cassius narrowed his eyes in confusion,
“Don’t tell me,
Do you not know about the Bloodheart Family?
Were you living under the rock all this while?”
Nux didn’t know how to react.
However, Amaya, who was standing next to him, her expression changed.
“Nux… They are from the Bloodhawk family…”
“Yeah, I heard t-”
“Aisha only named 6 Families when she told us about the Blood Continent.”
Amaya reminded and suddenly,
Nux’s expression changed.
“The Duke House…”
“So you do know about us.
That’s a relief.
My Lady does not like ignorant people.”
Cassius smiled.
On the other hand, Nux and his wives had difficult expressions on their faces.
‘The Duke, really? What sort of luck were we born with?’
Ember complained.
‘It can either be incredibly good luck or incredibly bad luck.’
Evane replied with a wry smile on her face.
“So the Lady of the Bloodheart Family wishes to meet us?”
Nux questioned again, just to reconfirm what he had heard.
“Yes, that is correct.”
“We need time.”
Nux replied.
“Time for what?”
Cassius frowned.
“Time to think about it.”
“Why do you need that?”
“I need to ensure the safety of my wives.”
“You do realize that there will be no ‘safety’ if you go against us, right?”
“If you have that attitude when we are outside the Blood Kingdom, I can already see what would happen when we go inside.”
Nux replied.
“I already assured you that you will be safe. Do you think a Duke Family would go against its word to kill someone like you?”
“Your words do not represent the words of the Bloodheart Family.
Look, I am just a mere Emperor Stage Cultivator who came to the Blood Continent to hunt some Beasts. There is barely anything or anyone I can trust in a completely different continent.”
“What do you need?”
“This Lady of yours, I need her to write a letter to me with her signature on it alongside the Emblem of the Bloodheart Family imprinted on it, that says that the Bloodheart Family ensures our safety.”
Nux gave his condition.
“Don’t take a mile when asked for an inch,”
Cassius narrowed his eyes.
“You people of the mighty Bloodheart Family stalked us for 3 months, I am sure you can do something like this so reassure us a little, can’t you?”
“What if my Lady gets offended and sends a stronger force to kill you all instead?”
“If something like this is enough to offend your Lady, then we would end up offending her in some other way, rather than fighting inside the Blood Kingdom, I would rather fight here, where we have a slight chance to escape.”
Nux replied.
“…”
Cassius turned silent as he glanced at Nux.
Nux stared back.
Then, Cassius sighed and turned around,
“We will return next week, same time.”
“I will be waiting for you.”
Nux smiled.
The Vampires then turned around and after they left,
Nux’s face turned solemn.
The women didn’t say anything either, they knew what Nux was about to do,
‘Allura, I need your help.’
…
On the other side,
After hearing the news, Aisha quickly took Allura to Rislith’s room and once they discussed everything with her, Rislith’s face turned serious.
“I do not know how you got this information, but if it is actually true, then…”
“Then?” Allura frowned.
“Things are bad.” Rislith didn’t sugar coat.
“Just like us Demons, the Vampires are also one of the strongest races in the world, however, unlike us Demons, where our power level is divided into States, the Vampires’ power is more, centrally focused.
The Royal Family holds most of the power, and after the Royal Family, it is the Five Dukes. So currently, what Nux is facing is the Second Strongest power of the Blood Kingdom. If this encounter turns hostile, then even we cannot help him even if we wanted.”
“Even if Mother gets involved?”
Aisha questioned.
Rislith glanced at her little sister and smiled wryly.
“The Blood Kingdom’s Duke House has 3 Divine Stage Cultivators holding the fort, so even if the mother gets involved, the Lust State does not have the power to go against them, let alone Lust State, no Demon State alone has the power to go against them.”
“3 Divine Stage Cultivators…”
Aisha’s expression changed.
Allura, on the other hand, didn’t have much change in her expression, however, Rislith could see how her complexion has paled.
She was scared, and Rislith could feel it.
“Of course, this does not mean that everything is screwed, for all we know, this might even be an opportunity.”
“What opportunity?”
Allura questioned.
“The Bloodheart Duke House is known to have a fair head. Also, there is no way they would bully some Emperor Stage Cultivators, this would harm their reputation.
This Lady you are talking about,
If I am not wrong, she should be Melia Bloodheart.”
“Melia Bloodheart?” Aisha muttered.
“Mhm, the Youngest Daughter of the Head of the Bloodheart Family.”
“Lady Rislith,” Suddenly, Allura called Rislith out with a determined look on her face.
“Please tell me everything you know about Melia Bloodheart.”
