Chapter 438 - Few Options Left (1/2)

Jessy and the royal couple gathered in the Queen's study room to discuss an important issue. Without further ado, Jessy informed them about the military officials' offer for their clan.

As the royal couple was listening to Jessy's news, disbelief shone in their eyes. They were having a hard time digesting the news. They have mixed reactions in their minds. They can't make up their mind if the news is good or bad for the clan.

A few minutes later, Jessy was done talking, she stared at the couple calmly, watching the expression of astonishment plastered on their faces. Several minutes had already passed after she revealed to them the military officials' eagerness to help her negotiate a peace treaty between the surviving vampires and the government.

”Who are these military officials, Jessy?” King Antone asked.

”Just my casual acquaintance in the past. When I visited them several days ago, they told me their plans,” she explained.

”C-can they be trusted? ”the queen eagerly asked.

”Yes. I froze them and read their minds. They have good intentions, not only that, they're one of the few good men left,” she answered confidently.

”How can you be so sure?” the king asked not sold to the idea.

”I'm sure of it. I can guarantee their honesty after I was able to scan their memories and thoughts stored in their brain,” Jessy answered. ”We just have to give it a try, there is nothing to lose and we have so much to gain if the negotiation is a big success,” she was trying hard to convince them.

Jessy watched as King Antone was submerged into a deep silence. She took a deep breath, convincing them proves to be difficult. She needs to keep talking so that they will see the positive side of the negotiation.

”Father, as vampire being, our power is our main advantage over the weak human beings. The biggest problem we are facing nowadays is the dwindling blood supply which we can no longer get abundantly from humans due to the lethal anti-vampire vaccine, sooner or later our sources will run dry... and not to mention the unforeseen attack that may occur anytime coming from the men in uniform,” she stressed out.

”Y-you mean to say they want our power?” Queen Margaret interrupted.

”Yes. They want our expertise, our power, and our cooperation. The truth is, the human government and the whole human society was plagued with countless problems such as human smuggling, kidnapping, illegal drugs, cybercrimes, corruption, deaths of soldiers due to war outside and inside the country, unsolved crimes, terrorism, and etcetera. Human society is facing many complex problems that mere police officers or soldiers can't solve. They want to tap onto our supernatural power and used it for the greater good,” Jessy elaborated further.

”And you mentioned that they wanted two representatives from us? Who are the representatives from our side?” King Antone inquired curiously.

”Myself and a friend of mine. He is a powerful vampire that I met previously and I saved his life from certain death. One night, I saw him starving in an alley, so I have him drink my blood and he transformed into a human being. But since he had vampire blood and expertise in black magic, he retains his power during the transformation. He agreed to become one of the representatives based on my request as a token of gratitude for saving his life,” Jessy revealed.

The queen's brows furrowed. ”He must be one from the savage vampire clan,” she commented. ”And the other one-?”

”Me,” Jessy answered.

King Antone shook his head. ” That can't be! You are doing blood transfusion every day, that cannot be stopped,” he reasoned out.

”How about Adam, we can release him out of the prison room as one of the representatives,” the queen suggested.
