Chapter 21: A meeting in the throne hall

Madness: I Became The Void Itself

Arthur was in his own room going through some documents.

It was night and the sky was bright with the crescent moon hanging up in the sky surrounded by countless stars.

After finishing the documents, he looked through the open window at the sky while listening to the calm wind.

It was quiet and relaxing.

But that didn’t last long as suddenly, someone knocked on the door and before he could answer, it opened revealing his sister who was having a lovely smile on her face.

"Something wrong?"

"Someone wants to meet you." Her voice sounded litttle excited which made him rise an eyebrow.

"You seem quite excited."

"Hehe you figuered, come on, they’re waiting downstairs in the living room. I bet you will be surprised." Her green eyes seemed to sparkel while she smiled enthusiastically in an infectious way that made Arthur even more curious about who was that person.

Btw, Ella was wearing her lenses.

Without making her wait, he stood up, closed the window before going with her downstairs then headed straight to the living room where the person who wanted to meet him was.

As they stood in front of the doors of the living room, Ella looked at her brother with her hands behind her, before she said.

"Get ready for a surprise, brother~"

This made Arthur chuckle softly before watching Ella as she opened the door revealing the person inside.

As she saw him entering, she immediately stood up with a fervent smile and eyes filled with longing, after all, she hasn’t seen him for a long time.

"Long time no see, Arthy~" Her voice was like velvet, so soft yet inviting.

She had a long flowing white hair and a pair of mesmerizing golden eyes that had a hint of playfulness and longing. Her smile showed her white teeth making her look dashing.

She was wearing a white corp hoodie that showed her sexy belly button and denim jeans that emphasized her thick thighs and shapely ass.

And finally, a pair of round golden earrings to make her even more alluring.

This person in front of him was someone he hasn’t seen for a long time. His childhood friend.

And this made Arthur really surprised as he hadn’t expected her at all.

"I’m so happy to see you again, Rose." A smile adorned Arthur’s face as he said those words making Rose’s heart throb with longing and deep buried feelings.

’He is still the same Arthur I know~’ She thought before coming closer then surprised him with a tight hug.

It was for a moment before he hugged her back.

"It was really a long time. When you left that day to another country due to your family relocating, I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you again, but seeing you here again today made me happy and delighted." Arthur said the words that were in his heart which made Rose who had her face buried in his chest blush and smiled happily.

Her eyes glowed for a moment as she hugged him tighter.

"I missed you too, Arthy. So sooooo much~"

’But why I smell the scent of those bloodscukers on you?’ She asked inwardly as her eyes gleamed dangerously before returning back go normal.

"You seem to miss my brother too much that you forgot about me, humph!" Then Ella’s cute voice came making Rose pull back from Arthur and immediately hugged her.

"Oww you know that I can’t forget my lovely little Ella, right?"

"Hehehe I missed you, Rose~" Hearing this honey dripping voice, Rose couldn’t help herslf but hug and pamper Ella so much.

’The same scent of those bloodsuckers again? And on Ella? What the hell?!’ Rose thought incredulously as she smelled the same scent on both of them.

"You are such a bundle of cutness, you know that?" Rose said so as she rubbed her cheek against Ella’s making her giggle and do the same while keeping her thoughts to herself for now.

Both were like sisters which made Arthur smile warmly.

It was such a heartwarming scene.

"You wanna watch a movie, Rose?" Arthur asked as he held the remote control turning on the TV.

"Absolutely, there are lots of movies I want to watch, like a lot!" Rose said before landing on the soft couch with her plump butt along with Ella before Arthur changed the channles to one that displayed a good movie about superheroes which was Rose’s favorite.

.

In Darknot.

At the vampire country.

In the middle of that country, there was a huge palace with tall pillars that seemed to pierce the sky.

It looked so ancient yet majestic in its own way due to its unique desgine, intricate details and beautiful engravings.

But not just from the outside, but also from the inside.

The floor was made from red strong marble, the walls had desings that looked so artistic and fabulous, paintings that depicted weird and strange eerie art as well.

The inward design of the palace was incredibly unique yet beautiful.

And inside the vast throne hall of that palace, a place with thick large pillars and red carpet in the middle that connected the doors to the huge throne at the end, something was happening.

Three clan heads were meeting the first progenitor of the vampire race, the Queen Gloria Steinem Tepes.

Those three clan heads were the Counts of the vampire race.

Alfred Blu, the head of the ancient and prestigious Blu clan.

Scarlet Rains, the head of the wealthiest clan in the whole vampire race, they controlled the economy of the country itself.

And finally, Hella Cross, the only head to the Cross clan, she controls the most powerful military power of the vampire race, she could be said to be the second strongest after the queen.

And those three stood before the Queen.

"So, what was the reason for this sudden meeting? You know I have other things to do other than that." Said Scarlet as she looked displeased that her work was cut off and now it would only pile.

"It’s important if it concerns the stability of the vampire race, right?" Said Alfert with a shit eating grin that made her frown.

"What is it you are talking about?" She smelled something fishy here.

"I’m talking about you cooperating with humans against my clan and my family."

"Huh? Are you out of your mind already old man? It seems the long years of living got to your head already."

"Haha say whatever you want, you won’t change the fact that you helped a cooperated with a human against my son and injured him deeply that his regeneration slowed."

This piqued the interest of the golden haired, lemon eyed woman who was listening.

’Hoo that’s interesting~"

"I don’t understand what you are talking ab—"

"The human that your daughter turned into a vampire after beating up my son. An anomaly, an existence that defied the natural order. He didn’t have a blessing nor a holy weapon, yet he managed to hurt a noble vampire with only his bare hands, don’t you find this weird?"

"And more than that, your daughter was with him from the beginning." He continued as his blood-red eyes burned like embers.

"My daughter didn’t help or cooperate with humans against you, she didn’t even touch your son at all as it would only fill her with disgust." Scarlet scorned as she looked at the old man with utter disgust.

’This bitch!’ He roared inwardly.

Then calming down, his smile was back agan, and this time it looked worse than before.

"You let an anomaly live. A vampire with a beating heart . We all should know we are kind of undead with no heartbeat, so how can someone like him who has just turned into a vampire to have such a thing?"

"For that I searched in my clan’s old records and books and found something really interesting~" As he said so, his smile widened even more as he revealed his sharp teeth.

"Hmmm...what did you find then, Alfred." This time it was the queen who talked. She was silent during the entire debate but hearing something that interesting, she was curious.

"As you wish my queen. What I found in the records was that, a vampire having a beating heart didn’t exist and if it existed, then he/she would be the end of our race."

"Do you really believe such a thing that a 10 years old kid can write?" Scarlet mocked.

"You are just wasting our time here, old man." Scarlet continued.

"Say what you want, once you see, you will understand that I’m right." He said with confidence and arrogance dripping off him.

Scarlet didn’t respond this time as what happened few days ago was still fresh in her mind.

’This just ridiculous.’ She thought.

"Umu~ then bring this kid to me, I will confirm that myself. Is there any objections?" The queen’s strong voice came.

"No, my queen. I’m sure you will figure it out once you see him."

"Good. Then this meeting is dismissed."
