“Ugghh! Why are you sending me on a mission? You can send Alfredos, Charfilious, Lycon, why me?” Luminia pouted and complained.

“Hahaha! Oh C’mon, Nia, you are not a little girl now, why are you complaining? Why do you always complain about missions? Should you not help the Kingdom with everything you have?” A blonde man, with pale white skin, and blood-red eyes laughed out loud.

“I do help the Kingdom with everything I have! I could have gone to any mission any other time, but if I go today, I will miss the party tomorrow! King Dardon, I am such a loyal and good minister; can’t you let me skip this one mission? I promise I will do more missions after the party, how about it?” Luminia proposed.

“Oh Nia, don’t you remember how many times have I listened and excused you from missions. Trust me, if I could, I would have let you stay and enjoy the party, however, this party…” Before he could finish his words, King Dardon stopped.

“This party what?”

“No, nothing. Do you remember the hand symbols I taught you yesterday?” King Dardon changed the topic and questioned.

“Oh, C’mon King Dardon, why are you taking this lame joke so far? Your sense of humour is bad, you know that right?” Luminia chuckled.

However, King Dardon’s gaze turned unusually solemn and he questioned,

“I am not joking, Nia. Take this seriously, later, that person will be the hope of us Vampires. Only he will be able to save us from the peril we will be facing.”

“Oh c’mon King Dardon, we are the Vampires! Even if Demons and Dragons join forces together, they still would not dare to fight us! Why would we need a lone person to save us? Heh, I am sure that we can deal with any difficulties with our own strength!” Luminia raised her fist and announced.

“Nia, do you remember those symbols or not?” However, King Dardon completely ignored her words and questioned.

“Tsk Tsk, alright, I will go along with this joke of yours one last time!”

Luminia snorted before her hands moved and formed the symbols Dardon taught her.

“Good job, now keep them in mind and go do your mission, okay?” A smile appeared on King Dardon’s face as he patted Luminia’s head.

“Tsk Tsk, even though I go along with this joke of yours, you still do not let me stay and enjoy the party. You are so cruel, King Dardon! And why does this mission has to be so far away from the capital! It’s literally at the boundary of Yrniel!” Luminia snorted before she complained again.

“Hahaha! Don’t worry; I will make it up to you when you return.”

King Dardon laughed out loud before he walked out of the garden, leaving the pouting Luminia behind.

…

“King Dardon, you did not make it up to me…” Luminia muttered with a sad smile as she remembered how King Dardon forcefully sent her away for a mission, not allowing her to join the party.

“King Dardon, did you know that the humans would betray us…?” Luminia muttered.

At first, she thought it was just a coincidence that King Dardon was so adamant about her doing the mission, however, after Azriel showed her the same symbols King Dardon forced her to remember, she joined the puzzles together and was now pretty sure about it.

“But if you knew… then why did you not cancel the party… you know that we Vampires would have trusted you even if you said it without any evidence right…?”

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

However, before she could think more about it, she heard a knock.

“Enter” Luminia ordered.

Then, a woman wearing a French maid uniform, with silver-white hair, red eyes, and pale skin, entered. Her figure was not as enchanting as Luminia, however, she had her unique charm. She was Luminia’s most trusted maid, Lilia Bella. She was also the one who Luminia ordered to find information about Azriel.

“Lady Luminia, Sir Azriel is requesting to meet you,” Lilia informed.

“Let him enter.” Luminia nodded.

Lilia nodded before she walked out and Azriel entered the room, he looked around before his gaze fell on Luminia.

“Lady Lu-”

“That is Teacher Luminia for you, I have taken you as my student, so call me teacher” Luminia corrected with a smile.

“Alright, Teacher Luminia”

“Yes, it sounds much better. Now tell me, why are you not sleeping when I told you to?”

“I had some questions,” Azriel muttered.

“Ask.”

“First, what is a True Vampire?”

“In today’s time, when the Vampires have fallen, A true Vampire is someone who still has the blood of those Old and Strong Vampires in their veins. Or you could call say, the Vampires whose Vampiric Blood is pure is a True Vampire” Luminia answered.

“A Vampire whose blood is pure, then are you telling me that the slaves’ Vampires are not True Vampires?”

“Of course, most of the Slave Vampires don’t even have red eyes; their blood is diluted to the point that they can barely increase their strength now.”

“How did that happen?”

“Most of the Slave Vampires are half-bloods, the mixture between humans and vampires, the humans have already killed most of the pure-blooded vampires and after 500 years, the human blood in those Slaves Vampires has increased and their vampire blood has diminished.

This, combined with the animal blood they provide you with that weakens their blood even further,

These reasons why Vampire blood in their body is diluted.”

“Hmm? Animal blood weakens our blood?” Azriel questioned with a frown.

“Yes, although the Star Beasts blood is still fine, if a vampire keeps drinking animal blood for a long time, his blood will weaken. We need the blood of intelligent races, not those stupid animals”

Azriel’s eyes turned dark…

Those humans were poisoning them after making them work for the whole day, and they make it look like they are doing so much for them!

Malicious Hypocrites!

Azriel then calmed his nerves and his boiling anger himself before he questioned the most important question,

“Now the last question,

Who are you?”
