Chapter 1057 - Glory of the Vampires (2/2)
“All right. Since all of you are willing to come here, I don’t have to say much.”
Angelina said before falling into silence. The vampires who heard her words lifted their heads curiously. Then, they were baffled to see Angelina extending her slim, tender right index finger forward. They were agitated because they knew what this meant. However, they didn’t expect to receive such a rare honor…
“Since all of you came here and showed your loyalty to the mighty Babylonia Family, I hereby give you a choice of honor and supreme glory: are you willing to accept my blood and become my dependents?!”
Angelina gazed at the remaining seven subordinates before her, gnashed her teeth, and asked. Upon hearing her question, Carol and the vampires were startled despite being mentally prepared.
It was mentioned in the past that due to the unique ‘biological structure’ of the vampires, ‘blood’ occupied an important, sacred position in their culture. Taking Ashvril’s parents, for instance: they were a pair of high-class and low-class nobles, whose blood fused in a human. As a result, it enraged the vampire race. This went to show how important ‘bloodline’ inheritance was to vampires. And now, what Angelina was about to give them was as though the highest honor of vampires! If they accepted her blood, it meant that they would be dependents of the once most glorious and ancient vampire family! This was a supreme honor to all vampires!
Of course, this wasn’t without disadvantages. Ancient bloodline possessed powerful strength over the younger vampires. If Carol and the other six vampires became Angelina’s dependents, it would mean that their lives were in Angelina’s hands. Not only would their thoughts be known to Angelina, but they would also obey her commands even if she ordered them to commit suicide. Judging from this point, it was more demanding than the soul contract that Rhode had with his card spirits.
“I’m willing, Madam Angelina!”
Carol was the first to step forward. She half-knelt on the ground, lifted her head, and her scarlet eyes gazed unwaveringly at the young lady before her. She had never thought of this in the past but now she wouldn’t give up this chance, even if she had to become Angelina’s dependent!
“Good.”
Upon hearing Carol’s determined answer, Angelina nodded in satisfaction. She reached out for a small blade with her right hand, extended her left hand, and gently cut her fingertip with the blade. A stream of extremely pure, scarlet blood flowed out of the wound and down the finger like a precious gem. Carol had already laid out her arms, holding onto Angelina’s right hand and sucking on her fingertip solemnly. The fresh, aromatic blood entered her mouth. She shut her eyes, her body shivering constantly as she felt the powerful strength flowing into her blood.
“————!”
At the same time, a scarlet magic ritual appeared beneath their feet and emanated a red, dazzling radiance, enfolding them completely. Shortly after, the red brilliance glowing from Carol’s body drifted toward Angelina, coalescing into an illuminating scarlet card. Upon witnessing the card, Angelina’s eyes glinted. She extended her hand and along with her movement, the scarlet card lost its shine gradually. Then, it quietly landed on her palm. Angelina let out a satisfied laughter, before lowering her head and gazing at Carol, who knelt before her.
“All right then. From now onward, you are my most loyal dependent,” Angelina said.
