Chapter 1186 Dont go (1/2)

Kazz had witnessed her father slowly changing. There was a time she had looked up to him as a righteous man that cared about the good of the vampires. Sometimes his actions would be criticised by the others but she knew that her father was always doing it with the interest of the whole settlement in mind.

However, lately she wasn't so sure anymore.

Punishing criminals was one thing. Kazz knew that sometimes the rules had to be bent, especially with a strong enemy on the horizon, yet she couldn't understand how her father could just sacrifice the lives of his fellow vampires without letting them even know about it.

She had seen it, when she had been in that room where the vampires had been working hard to learn the shadow ability. They were doing so, convinced that it was all for the sake of helping the King, to protect their loved ones, yet once they succeeded and attained a certain level of proficiency, Bryce would rob them off everything.

Initially he had told them that it was for the greater good, but as the process repeated she could see him changing. The fact that Kazz was unable to see even a sliver of remorse over what he was doing. Unfortunately, by the time she realised that someone needed to put a stop to her father's deeds, it was too late for her to do anything about it on her own.

Bryce had managed to find supporters in his goal, and with the absolute blood powers of the King, there weren't many that would be a match for him. Eventually, while mulling over her thoughts day by day, and with no one to talk to, a certain person came into her mind, Paul.

During her mission, to stay and look over Quinn and Paul, the former General had taught her many valuable lessons that her father never had. The two of them had discussed many other things and he had made her see certain things in a different way.

If anyone could tell her what the right or wrong thing to do was, she thought it would be Paul, but now sitting opposite him she wasn't sure anymore. She took a sip of the tea he had handed her. The warmth did wonders to calm her down.

'If my father ever found out what I attempted to do, or what I've done, then Paul, no the whole Cursed family will be affected by this as well.' She thought. 'Quinn isn't here and what can Paul actually do on his own?'

Thinking back, she wondered how strong the Vampire Knight before her actually was. From the reports she had heard that he had managed to best Jill, one of the leaders in a one on one fight. Apparently he also hadn't struggled too much in that fight. Still, fighting was not the leader's forte.

However, Bryce had several people around him, even if she tried to gather allies such as Muka and more, there was the risk that one of them would inform the King of her intentions. Even if everything proceeded smoothly and she managed to gather a few of the vampire leaders who weren't involved in this whole mess, what could they do against her father?

All of them together had been unable to stop Cindy, and Bryce had already grown far stronger than the traitorous second family leader, having grown used to the absolute blood powers for a while now.

'There was one…that managed to beat her.' Kazz recalled.

”How about we go for a walk?” Paul suggested, thinking that a change of scenery could loosen her tongue. Finishing the hot beverage, Kazz just nodded. Heading out of the castle, they walked through the tenth area which was more alive than ever.

It was strange for Kazz to see so many vampires living in the inner area. They were mostly Paul's men that were stationed on the outside of each of the gates, the strong reinforced walls and the towers.

They made sure that only those from the tenth family could head inside. The reason why the tenth had more people in the inner area, was because as Quinn had requested they were abolishing the class system treatment, where only a hundred vampires could enter the inner area and learn an ability.

Instead, Quinn treated the Cursed family with great care to help the family as a whole. Including those that were loyal.

”The place is... different from how the other families run things.” Kazz mentioned. ”I see a vampire whose skills are only good for cooking with no great power living in a mansion.”

In the inner areas, outside one of the large mansions, a giant outdoor kitchen had been made, and Zee was currently cooking there with a few helpers.

”That is Zee, it is a pain to just consume blood all the time, and it seems he has great skill adding flavour to the meats we eat. He helps the soldiers from Earth remember what they originally were. He brings joy and is essential for our tenth family's morale. He deserves to have a big house, and as you can see he is more hard working than ever.” Paul introduced the cook.
