Chapter 130: The consequences of being on top. (1/2)
”FUCK!” Theo only got angrier when he remembered what happened.
”He humiliated me! In front of all my brothers and servants!”
”...I wouldn't look at it that way,” Lucas spoke.
Theo looked at his brother, ”What do you mean?”
”Our father is an over 5000 year old monster. He doesn't say useless things.” Lucas looked at his brother:
”Think about it. How many times has our father reprimanded us?”
”Twice...” He spoke after thinking for a moment.
”Yes, the first one was when you and I went hunting wolves in the past, and it ended up provoking them into a war.
”Yes,” Theo remembered they were very arrogant in the past and almost died at the hands of the wolves.
”And today was the second.”
Lucas continued, ”Throughout our entire existence, he has only reprimanded us twice, and when he did, he seemed to know all our faults and what we were doing wrong.”
”Although he always seems indifferent and doesn't care about us, he knows everything about us… Quite honestly, it's terrifying.” Lucas's body shook a little.
He would never get used to his father. The man was just too scary, although that's why he respected him too.
”...” Theo nodded in agreement with his brother's words.
”Although…” Lucas made a neutral face, ”He is the king. Of course, he has eyes everywhere, though I doubt he has eyes outside his territory.” He displayed a small smile on his face.
”...” Theo sighed inwardly. He was very relieved now that he heard his younger brother's words, although he didn't show it on his face.
He didn't want his father to find out about his plans yet.
He started to think of something:
”Where is your son?”
”Hmm? Why do you want to know?” Lucas raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
”I will call my son back, and I want your son to keep my son company.” He spoke vaguely and didn't give much information, and that seemed to irritate his brother.
Lucas' eyes glowed a little blood red, ”...Don't treat me like a fool, tell me what you're planning.”
”...I will use our children to cause trouble with the new Count-.” Theo didn't even finish speaking, and his brother interrupted him.
”Stop. Did your brain melt or stop working?”
”Huh?” Theo didn't understand what his brother was implying.
”Oh, I know.” Lucas seemed to understand something, ”You're still angry. Stop whining like a child and get over it!”
Theo gritted his teeth, ”...I'm not whining.”
He just didn't like something… He didn't like the special treatment that man was getting from the king.
21 years old and already a Count, huh? Is his existence a joke? Theo didn't like feeling that way at all.
He didn't like to feel inferior… He's the eldest son of the vampire king! He is important!
Lucas ignored what Theo said, ”You want to send my son to the man who dared attack the king of all vampires in his own castle.”
”…” Theo was silent.
”I don't know that man, but seeing that smile, seeing the way he talked to the king, and seeing his transformation, there's one thing we all agree on.”
”He's crazy... Completely crazy... On a scale of 0 to 100, he easily exceeded the maximum meter and hit 1000.”
Who in their right mind would attack the vampire king in his own castle!? This is just suicide!
”I wouldn't doubt that he would kill our children and deliver their heads to the king himself! He's that kind of man!”
”...” Theo thought it made sense. A man who dared to attack the king and challenged the king's authority by creating a clan that contained the king's name just written backwards. That kind of man would do it without even hesitating.
”But they are the king's grandchildren, you know? You know our father, he is very doting-.” Theo would go on to say that the king would never allow anyone to harm his family.
”This only applies to his children, to his grandchildren, he pretends they don't even exist.” Lucas was quite strict, he was the one who admired his father the most, and because of that, he can say with absolute certainty that their father doesn't care about his grandchildren.
”Calm your mind, and think clearly before making a decision.” Lucas gave some advice.
Sigh
Theo sighed, and then he took a deep breath.
”You're right. For now, I'll just focus on that creature, he's my trump card...”
Lucas looked at his brother as if he was mad, ”...Are you dumb?”
”...Huh?”
”Didn't you hear what that man said about Clan Fulger?”
”Ah…” He totally forgot about that.
”That crazy woman is going to challenge the Horseman Clan again. You should be worried about that.”
”... You are right.” Theo looked at his brother through narrowed eyes.
”Have you gotten smarter?”
”No, I'm just trying to put into practice what our dad told us.” Lucas turned and walked out of the office.
