Chapter 1345 - The Castles Special (1/2)
Inside the king's castle, in the throne room, Leo and the others had just heard the offer from the second leader, the original known as Tempus. The group didn't answer straight away. The truth was they wanted to converse with each other, but even if they did, it would be hard for them without Tempus listening to their conversation.
In a situation like this, Silver would often let Leo do the talking. She felt like this because they were the ones that were dragged into this mess in the first place, making her feel guilty. She felt like she had no right to make any decision on their behalf.
If they wished to try to fight their way out of this, then she would too. If they chose to accept the offer, then she would as well, but there was one thing she needed to confirm and get out of her mind because she didn't quite understand what was going on.
”There's a tomb under this castle? What do you mean? I have never heard of this before? Who is it, and why do you want to wake them up?” Silver asked, trying to get more information and also trying to buy more time for the others to make a decision.
”I almost forgot that everything about him was erased so you all know nothing. Perhaps only your current king would know the truth,” Tempus explained. ”I am of course, talking about the first king, and no, I am not talking about the tenth family Eno.
”The true first king who they tried to erase from vampire history. Right now, Arthur is a vampire that is stronger than anything I have seen. Perhaps it's because the two share the same power but regardless.
”The true first king was a special vampire, even more special than Eno. He was the most powerful vampire to ever exist. If we want the vampire race to continue to live, then we have no choice but to summon him!” Tempus said.
Just hearing these words, it was hard for Silver to believe. They spent years in school learning about the vampire's history. Still, she soon remembered that the vampires did indeed try to cover up many things. There were significant blank periods, and even recently, things like Cindy's past had come to light that was never known before.
”So why is Bryce so scared of summoning him?” Erin eventually spoke. ”If it's an easy solution and this vampire is as strong as you say he is, then why don't they summon him, and why did the vampires choose to get rid of his past.
”I've learned that the vampires often like to try to erase the bad from their history as if it never happened. So there had to be a reason for erasing this.”
”The vampires?” Tempus repeated, finding it strange that she was referring to her own race as such.
”Of course, they are just scared. We, original vampires, are all friends. I assure you I wouldn't be trying to wake him up if I thought he would do us harm. I, just like you, are trying to save the vampire settlement, not harm it. Anyway, you are wasting my time, so tell me what you plan to do?”
While the two sides were in silence, a specific message played in all of their heads. The message that had come from Jill. Bringing Bryce's wrongdoing to light.
”Did you both hear that?” Silver asked.
Leo and Erin both nodded.
”Well, it looks like Bryce's wrongdoings have come to light. Now we have no choice. Do you think someone who wished to become king for so long will be able to give up the throne just because the leaders say so?
”Even if he defeats Arthur, then we will have another problem on our hands. With the absolute blood powers, there will be no one who can stop him.”
With the information spread out, it looked like they no longer had to worry about having trespassed in the king's castle or worry about the evidence seemingly having gone missing. Their testimony and Jill's words would be pretty convincing to almost anyone.
The question was, could the three of them take on the Original in front of them. The original's powers varied in strength, and they were all slightly special. The fact that Tempus looked unworried was worrying Silver.
On top of that, she agreed that someone would have to take care of them if Bryce or Arthur won this fight. The absolute blood book would make one the strongest vampire.
'There was one person that stopped someone last time, but could they stop Bryce as well?' Silver thought.
Since the standstill between the two seemed to be going nowhere. Tempus was getting tired and started to walk towards the three masked people.
”Well, if you can't make a decision, I guess it's time I unmask you guys,” Tempus said. ”I would at least like to know who you are.
Erin stepped forward and was ready to charge in, but Leo stopped her using the butt of his blade.
