Meanwhile, little Yerzhan hasn’t stopped crying since he woke up this morning, in the middle of the living room, with his mother busy calming him down.The kid is in a tantrum, begging to see his dad who hasn’t stopped groaning in pain.“I wanna see my dad! Let me see him.”In fact, Mary herself is also filled with the same endless anxiety. But here she has to lie to the kid, telling that his father is just having a fever.“You can’t go there! Elder Camran is treating your dad’s fever right now.”“No, mom,” denies the kid, still trying to break free. “He is having a bad dream! He must be scared now! I need to be with him! He was always there with me when I had a bad dream.”The Miarnin women, who also live in that big house, can only show their sympathy. They know how strong the bond this kid has with his father.Until suddenly, one peculiar old lady, having a unique attire with a long cloth and shawl, appears and greets them with her soothing smile.“Having this many people worrying
Once she gets downstairs, she finds everyone in the living room has been fallen asleep, the same with Camran.But there are still so many people ready with their weapons outside the house. Judging from the atmosphere, Daniela knows that they are preparing themselves for the worst situation.Of course, she doesn’t want them to kill Dean. With her mind so confused, she rushes back upstairs. And there, she finds Lady Shynar already unconscious lying on the floor.“Oh, no! Lady Shynar!”“She's been like that for a while,” says Musgly.“Why didn't you call me?” argues Daniela.“You think I can leave Dean alone?” replies Musgly.“He is still fighting. Why don’t you replace that old lady, and use your healing magic on him?” says Namsqeem.“But I can’t use my spirit energy,” replies Daniela with an awry face.“It doesn’t matter,” says Musgly. “The idea is only to help him calm so he can fight the curse himself. That’s all we’ve been doing so far.”“Okay! I’ll do what I can.”And so, Daniela t
Amanet's eyebrows twitch at those words. Not only because of what is being said, but also because of his familiarity with the voices of the two men who have just stated their arguments.How come it’s not? It was the voice of his own son, Zulfik, and also Zulfik's best friend, Baurzhan.He looks back, towards the crowd, with an annoyed expression. But he can’t find Zulfik and Baurzhan there. This is strange, because they are both much bigger than the other, and should be easy to spot.“Zulfik!” Amanet calls. “I don't remember ever having a coward son. If you really have something to say, don't hide behind the crowd. Show your face!”Of course, Amanet's reaction also arouses curiosity from the crowd, and they also glance at each other and to their backs.Some of the crowd creates some space. And there Amanet finds Zulfik and Baurzhan sitting on the terrace of an unoccupied house next door.Zulfik gets up. Only then does his presence look dominant just like the other Amanet warriors.“I’m
Camran nods, accepting his older sister’s advice. He calls Amanet and Dastan to ask for their approval, and this is not the first time he brought this issue before them.And just like always, they never mind it. They admit, among the existing noble tribe leaders, Dean is the most worthy to receive this mandate.“I know I wouldn’t be able to handle it,” says Amanet. “I have faith in my strength. But you know, Amanet always went berserk when we let an apparition enter our bodies.”“What about you, Dastan?” asks Camran. “You often let those six apparitions enter your body, and you can still control your mind.”“I actually did it because I’m weak,” replies Dastan. “Miarnin could handle it too. We’ve tried it before a few times. There is no one more worthy than him. That's also why I want him to be the next king.”“The question now, will he accept it?” asks Amanet.“We have to convince him,” says Dastan. “He can’t run away now. There’s no other way.”Camran nods, and then gets up from the
At least, they are quite lucky, because their enemy is not in ideal condition to launch a follow-up attack any time soon.In fact, the Democratic State of Yegristan experienced a much greater loss in their last attack on Teles.They deployed more than 1500 joint personnel, consisting of soldiers and mafia members. All of them were vampires who were confident in their immortality.However, not many of them returned to their base, didn't even reach 100 personnel. Meanwhile, of the 18 A-rank professional guardians they brought from Estuaria for this war, only three survived, Lorenzo Vasquez and two A-rank Mages which Namsqeem failed to kill.Not to mention the death of Charlie Fox, who was actually the puppet leader controlled by Estuaria for the Democratic State of Yegristan.And of course, their biggest loss is Florian. In fact, Florian was Valery's right hand man in controlling Yegristan. But now, the man is on his way back to Sanctity Ridge Tower, with the intention of killing his ma
All these Tetartos and Tritons are like fleas to Florian, just a waste of time. None of them are able to touch him, except for pieces of their flesh and blood spoiling his entire body.In fact, not all the vampires in this small town are intervening with Florian's path. Especially the Defteros who obtained the curse of immortality from him, and of course all the lower class vampires under them.It's not about loyalty. They have learned that when one high-class vampire dies, all those who received the curse of immortality from him will return to being ordinary humans.Like Samuel Bowman, who is currently in Medreisten. He has heard the news about Florian's rebellion, and is even now watching the chaos that occurred in front of the Sanctity Ridge Tower via his smartphone.“This mad kid! What’s he thinking? He selfishly dragged me into this madness, and now he's revolting?” he grumbles in aggravation.How can he not become aggravated? Whatever the final outcome of Florian's rebellion, no
While under Albert’s control, that small specter seeps into Samuel’s head. Immediately, the man’s face turns so mad.“We know, as a vampire, your body can no longer replenish mana naturally,” says Nicholson. “We will wait until you run out of mana first before putting your head back to your body. Just enough to keep you alive, but there’s nothing you can do. There will be no way for you to force that specter out.”“I never expected that one day I would be able to control you like a puppet,” Albert chuckles, before holding Samuel’s head. “Now, before turning you into a puppet, why don’t you show me where your boss is?”Annoyed and panting, Samuel still tries hard to protect his mind, amidst the pain from his neck, and also from his two severed arms.Finally, after a few moments in silence, Albert opens his eyes. “Sanctity Ridge Tower, Roxwin Hill. It’s just one hour from here.”“Screw you,” Samuel grumbles.“Okay, you control him and take us there!” says Nicholson as he takes his leave
Valery is not the only one in the chamber. Venera sits kneeling with a blank face on the left of the throne. On the right stands Catalin, Florian's closest friend for the past hundred years.At the front, there are four other members of the main family, with two of them having their bituminous wings on their back, looking so ready for a fight.Likewise with Florian, whose bituminous wings are still active, and his body is always shrouded in spirit energy.He has to keep exerting this spirit energy and also keeping his alertness at the highest to prevent Valery from taking control over his mind and body.It has drained his stamina a lot, and he has been drinking almost all his blood supplies. The two vials in his hands are the only blood supplies he has right now.“I'm sick of seeing your mask of innocence,” Florian croaks. “I know you were the one who killed my parents. Everything is just your plot to brainwash me, creating an image as a hero so that I will always see you as a savior.”
