Chapter 33 - Zeal (1/2)
Versailles knew the way the races in the Nar realm functioned. This was a realm of survival of the fittest.
Every single creature looked out for themselves, and since her decision to join the Battle of Wars as representative of the Snake clan while entering the Underworld Palace had no influence on their survival, they could not care to make even the slightest effort in agreeing or disagreeing with her decision.
She was, however, expecting the vampire's disagreement. She did not know what his problem was, but from the last ambush he set up while she was training the fledglings, she knew that she could not let her guard down against him. And as expected, he did not disappoint.
”You will enter the Underworld Palace? Have you already not said that you will represent the Snake clan in the Battle of Wars?” He frostily asked, his gaze shooting razors as he sharply looked at her.
”Yes, she did. But she has also said that the Bloodsucking clan had nothing to do with the private affairs of the Snake clan and Werewolf clan. After all, we have not given the supreme elder of the Bloodsucking clan the right and power to interfere and direct the affairs of our clans. Did we Snake Queen?” Ramose has had about enough of the bloodsucking beast.
He turned to the spectating snake queen whose brows were also furrowed in a frown as she looked at the vampire.
”No, we did not.” She firmly replied the instant Ramose turned to her, her green eyes flashing with annoyance.
For some reason, the beast seemed bent on preventing Versailles from entering the Underworld Palace, which the wolf king would absolutely not tolerate. Whatever reasons the vampire had for getting in the way, she could not care any less.
All she knew was that she would not allow him to achieve his motive, no matter what. Because this concerned the survival of the Snake clan and Versailles' happiness.
Ramose pulled his mate behind him, facing off directly against the vampire elder.
”Supreme elder, I think that your memory has grown foggy from the many years of living. Otherwise, you would remember that no creature or being in the entire Nar realm has the right or power to get in the way of a werewolf taking his mate home.
Every creature in the realm knows that a werewolf does not leave his mate behind after the mate claiming and whoever attempts to stop a wolf from taking his mate home will have to face the wrath of the entire wolf clan.
Moreover, Supreme Elder, my mate, who I will take home, is not from the Bloodsucking clan. Her coming with me to the Underworld Palace will not have any effect on the Bloodsucking clan.
And more importantly, you, as a Supreme Elder of the Bloodsucking clan, do not have the right to decide what a serpentine from the Snake clan will and will not do.
For quite a while now, I have been silently watching you. I am not sure if anyone else aside from me has noticed, but you seem to be blazingly bent on preventing my mate from entering the Underworld Palace. What is the situation, vampire?” Ramose finished in a growl, his dark eyes burning with fury.
The snake queen, demon queen, devil king, and eagle king looked at the vampire elder with the same look in their eyes. They too had noticed the supreme elder of the Bloodsucking clan's odd behavior and wanted to know what he was planning.
