Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

540  The Birth of a Lord of the Kingdom (3)

Unlike Ken Wagner's words, which directly targeted the traitors and also called attention to the Vampire Clans, Haton Scháfer was more focused on reminding them of the violation of the pact, which will now make the movements even bigger.

He made it very clear what position the Independent Clans out there could take.

And with all that said, a position of undisputed superiority rose over the side that supported Matthew's consecration.

Even Matthew himself was surprised by this, as he had little knowledge of the Independent Clans.

Still, he looked at King Richter from the side. He knew that this guy was moving against him right now, and as the most powerful King at present, he had enormous status and power.

'Since you want to oppose me, you will die just like all the idiots who have tried it. He who opposes the Dietrich name only wants a curse to fall on himself.' He thought.

Frederick spoke again at that moment.

"With the signature of 3 Vampiric Clans and the undisputed support of an Independent Clan, coupled with the support of the majority of Ministers and Nobles of the Dark Kingdom's current time, the consecration should be done without fail and without encountering setbacks orchestrated by idiots. As it is written: to oppose a consecration sponsored by 3 Vampire Clans is a crime of treason to the race." He looked at King Richter after saying this.

"Would you like to object, Sir Richter?" he asked, smiling slightly.

Richter frowned, but his work was already done. He simply smiled and bowed a little in respect.

"Do not be confused, Lord Frederick. I have no plans to object. I just thought it was a sign of respect for us as kings to understand all behind the consecration of a Lord of the Kingdom. It was only protocol; please go ahead. I will no longer interrupt the ceremony." Without another word, Richter returned to his place and sat back down, one hand holding his chin.

Frederick scoffed. 'Tsk, instead of trying to get deeper, you decide to back off just out of fear. What a lack of guts.' He thought and turned his eyes to Matthew.

"Young Lord Matthew, please." He said, planning to resume the ceremony, though he was aware that it could not be done.

And just as if to answer his knowledge, a demonstration of power came pouring forth from the west.

It was a huge burst of power that' alerted' many, though it only made Gray Allen and Frederick scoff.

Gray didn't even stay up. He went back to sitting next to Clan Allen while letting Frederick take over.

Still, Gray did speak up.

"Tsk, apparently no one respects the millennia-old customs of the race anymore. Even an idiot, put upon a whim, dares to do such barbarity as to disturb a sacred ceremony." He said in mockery.

That coincided with the moment Richter looked at him and also with the moment the new people made their presence known, among them the current Becker Leader, who was the one who demonstrated power and interrupted the ceremony again.

Both Richter and Leader Becker gritted their teeth, sensing that those words were directed at them, but they did nothing more about it.

And a different man smiled.

"Haha, dear friends from the Allen, the Murphy, the Wagner, and Scháfer. It's been a long time since we've seen each other. We came to look at the new Lord of the Kingdom." The one who spoke was the Relish Clan Leader himself, Cynfael Relish.

Beside him were Egon Edevane and Leader Becker, and they turned a deaf ear to Gray's words, which made Gray turn a deaf ear to theirs as well.

Frederick, as host, could not take that liberty, so he shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm pretty sure the invitation we sent to you guys was declined. In the end, you preferred to act important and get to the end. How disrespectful."

"Hahaha, come on, Frederick, don't get mad over nonsense. We don't make ourselves important; after all, we are still pillars of the race, and we must have some importance, right?" Egon spoke, laughing a little.

Frederick looked at him and nodded. "True, you have some importance, just like all the guests, no more, no less. You are all equally important, but since you are here and want to stop the ceremony for a moment, you can come in and stand over there, we did not prepare seats for you. If it's for another reason, I hope it's important enough. This is already the 2nd time the ceremony has stopped, and I am getting impatient to see our Lord of the Kingdom being born."

Cynfael and Egon frowned, as did Leader Becker. Still, they did not say much about the 'disrespect' he had done to them.

Instead, Egon spoke up.

'I see. So the ones behind the little Wagner bastard who refused to sign are these bastards.' Frederick thought, somewhat similar to what Gray was thinking.

"The Vampire Clans are necessary for this ceremony but are not the only important thing. Without the signature of 6 Heirs, nothing can proceed. Since Sir Richter already asked you to see the signature of the Clans, how about you also show us the signature of the 6 Heirs?" he asked.

His question caused slight astonishment among the people present, for it was partly meaningless.

If there are 2 Heirs per Clan and 3 Clans to sign, isn't it obvious how many Heirs' signatures they give?

The 2 Heirs of the 3 Clans signed the agreement; why ask the question?

It seemed strange to many and curious to others.

Frederick raised an eyelash after this. "Did age take away your ability to add, Egon?" he asked, amazed.

Egon smiled as if he thought it was funny, but it was a smile that reflected anger.

"Hahaha, I get what you mean, Frederick. Don't think me so stupid, hahaha." He laughed and passed off this little attack of Frederick's as a joke. "I just want to see the signature since we already saw the Clans; I don't think it's bad to see the signature of our boys, right?" he replied, insisting.

'I see. So the ones behind the little Wagner bastard who refused to sign are these bastards.' Frederick thought, somewhat similar to what Gray was thinking.

'So they want to discover all the signatories because they have inside information.' Gray smiled. 'This is good for us, too.' He nodded to Frederick, causing the latter to nod toward Egon.

"Sigh, you're good, Egon. I just hope you don't get upset or regret asking for that. Remember, you asked for it." He replied and immediately pulled out another scroll.
