Chapter 940 - Pauls Goal (1/2)
After looking at all the people from the top of the castle wall, he could see everyone. They looked back at him as if they were expecting some type of grand speech, but he didn't really have one for them, nor was he expecting this in the first place.
They all thought he had saved the vampire race, protected them. When in reality, he was just protecting his friends and wanted to leave this place.
He then looked back at his own castle and started to look at the others in comparison. The towers, the upgraded walls and the castle itself. There was a huge difference now, and so much had changed in a short amount of time.
The last time he had come here, the castle was untouched, abandoned, and hadn't been worked on.
'Are they really here for me?' Quinn wondered and soon jumped back off without saying a word to any of them. He didn't know if this would be better for his position or not, but seeing what had happened, seeing them. He now had a better idea of what he wanted to do.
”The tenth leader has asked me to do a few things. If you wish to join the tenth family, then you should comply with the following rules…” Paul continued on giving the vampires a set of instructions. All of what Paul was doing, was based on what Quinn had requested from before. Soon they began to let in vampires slowly into the castle walls.
Through talking to the vampires, Paul found out that there were quite a few of those that had been in the tenth family for a while, and their reasons for staying and wanting to join were quite similar. They had respect for Quinn ever since he had gotten in power.
Many of those in the tenth family were criticised, and the other families used their powers to abuse them. Similar to what Timmy had gone through at school. Because of Quinn's request, before he had been accused of killing Dwight, the tenth family were already seeing improvements in their lives.
They thought that the new tenth leader was someone who actually cared for the family. Enough to even return to this place and come here when he didn't have to.
They didn't realise that Quinn had made that rule more so he would receive prisoners from the other families. In hopes to improve his own power. There was a selfish reason behind it, but it had done good in the process.
As things were rolling into place, Quinn noticed that there had been a summon. For the first time in a while, there was a voice, a message that had been sent in his head.
”This is a message from King Bryce. All leaders are to come to the King's castle along with their fellow Knights in the next two hours. All leaders must attend.”
The voice responsible for sending the message, was from Jill. It didn't sound the same as she usually did. When delivering this message, it was far more monotone and spoken as if Jill had lost all hope.
Quite frankly, Quinn was surprised that she was still being used to send messages after what had happened.
Due to the message that had been sent, Quinn also called Paul and Leo back to the castle as well, as Quinn wanted to have his own meeting with all the others. Paul left the task he had assigned his men to Ashley, and they were off.
Due to Paul's background, he was great at getting things done and was extremely organised and efficient. He made it so whatever plan needed to be implemented could be done quickly and run like clockwork.
He only needed a piece to replace him in the clock with him away, and it could continue on working.
Finally, in the usual grand dining room that looked like it could seat around thirty or so people. Everyone that Quinn was close to had gathered. He deemed it important to him and those that were part of the Cursed ship.
”You might be wondering why I asked you all to come, but I have been summoned to the King's castle for a talk. It's what we've been waiting for, or at least I have been waiting for.” Quinn said. ”I'll be blunt. I'm going to ask if we can leave this place. Although ask isn't really the right word, I'm going to make it clear that I'm leaving this place, but I see that there is a lot to be done here, and there are those that care about this world.” Quinn then looked at Timmy, Xander and Amy, who were originally from the vampire world. ”I'm going to ask for a way, where I am still part of this crazy vampire ruling, but I have more freedom to come and go as I wish.”
”From what I have seen outside, I realised that the position I'm in might be a lot better than we thought, and I can use this to my advantage. Honestly, asking just for permission to leave would be too simple for what we have done and what we have suffered through. I came to realise I have only been thinking about myself, acting on everyone's behalf without actually asking what you guys wanted. So I want you guys to tell me now, is there anything you need or would like to ask for?”
