"My Lord… My faith and loyalty are always reserved for you. You have my support in everything you do. I will be your loyal servant and I will fulfill the task you've given ."
Serafino had found his motivation in Kira. He was inspired by him. He believed that their Vampire King would be the great source of their strength.
He wished for this war to end... to have peace in the Kingdom of Phantasia where all creatures would unite once again and live in harmony together… no more fighting between vampires and werewolves.
This was one of the reasons why Serafino was still rooting for Kira because he was able to unite everyone in the past. Although General Raizel was fit to be the King of Vampires when Kira's disappeared, he didn't agree with his goal– the goal of annihilating the werewolf race, even the young and innocent pups.
He was tired of this bloody battle. If they continued fighting and killing each other, this would beco an unending cycle of revenge between the two clans.
But a truce between vampires and werewolves would only be possible once there would be a new ruler of werewolf clan… soone who would be prudent enough to stop this war.
As long as Dominique Silvano was the King of Werewolves, negotiation about peace would never happen.
"Thank you, Serafino. I truly appreciate that. By the way, do you have sothing more to say? If not, then I–"
"Yes, My Lord… there is sothing important you need to know," Serafino promptly said, interrupting Kira's words.
Kira saw that Marceline and her client were already shaking each other's hands, indicating that they were done with their transaction so he was about to say goodbye to Serafino and escort Marceline out of the restaurant.
However, it sounded like Serafino still had an important matter to tell him.
"Go on… tell what it is," said he, but his eyes were fixed on Marceline.
The client already left. Marceline and Aunt Brianna were the only ones sitting at the table. She tossed a look in Kira's direction.
They t each other's gaze. Understanding that Kira was still talking to soone over the phone, Marceline just nodded at him, letting him know that he could take his ti. They would just wait for him to finish.
"My Lord, I did the task you gave , spreading the news with the other vampires that you are alive but…" Serafino paused for a mont, hoping that Kira would not be offended by the things he was about to tell him.
,m "But what? Don't hesitate to tell everything. I am willing to listen."
Kira heard him taking a deep sigh from the other line. It looked like Serafino was disheartened about sothing.
"My Lord, forgive for telling you this… but the other vampires took the news negatively. So of them didn't believe it. And so of them… got furious and felt disappointed by you."
"I'm sorry, my Lord… but they are blaming you for the misfortunes of the vampire clan. They expressed their hatred towards you… for allowing this to happen."
Kira fell silent when he heard those words from Serafino. But he appreciated him for being frank and honest. His expression saddened as he could understand those vampires.
To think about it, they were right to bla him. Even he was blaming his own self. He let himself be blinded by love… a fake love. He let himself be deceived by a woman… a werewolf.
"But don't worry, my Lord! I know they would understand you once they found out the real reason for your disappearance," Serafino added, trying to console Kira. However, his words only brought a bitter smile to his lips.
If the other vampires found out the truth about the cause of his downfall, then they would hate him more. He would also beco a laughingstock for everyone, not only for werewolves but also his own clan.
"My Lord…?" Serafino felt like he said sothing he was not supposed to say. He wondered if Kira was offended by his words. Now, he beca anxious because of the vampire king's silence.
He was about to apologize when he suddenly heard Kira's laughter from the other line.
"Don't worry about . I understand and respect their opinions. I think I will have to work hard to win their trust again. This ti I will not let everyone down." Kira tried his best to sound cheerful although he was sohow affected by this negative news.
"Serafino, I have to go now. If you need sothing just don't hesitate to call . Again, don't worry about those vampire prisoners. I will save them."
"I got it, my Lord. I know you will."
Kira finally hung up the phone. Complicated emotions could be seen in his eyes. Even Marceline was able to see the changes in his expression. Kira had beco gloomy after that call.
"Aunt Bri… do you know who the caller is?" Marceline asked Aunt Brianna.
"I'm sorry but I don't have any idea, young mistress."
Her beautiful eyebrows were drawn together as she watched Kira from their table. She was curious about the caller because Kira didn't look good when the call ended. Did the person make him upset?
Marceline beca worried. She was not used to seeing Kira in a low spirit like this. It seed that he was bothered and a heavy burden was troubling him.
For so unknown reason, she wanted to cheer him up. She hated to see him sad.
"Aunt Bri, you can go back to the office and bring these docunts. Kira and I will have to go sowhere."
Aunt Brianna looked at her with a teasing smile on her face.
"Aunt Bri… don't look at like that. Cough! This is an official business…" Marceline said as an alibi. She was trying to compose herself and hide her blushing face.
Aunt Brianna just nodded her head while pursing her lips, fighting a smile. She knew that Marceline was worried about Kira and that she wanted to cheer him up. To do that, she decided not to go back to the office yet.
