The next day, The Duke of Tamron imdiately made a formal announcent to his people.
He exposed the ambush and the sins committed by the councils to kill him and take over Tamron completely.
Although so people were outraged by the fact their respective council got the death sentence, others were rather comfortable since they experienced the horror first hand.
Vlad also made it clear to his people that he would be stepping down from his seat and heading over his position to his future son in law, Sato Inugami.
The audience did not like the idea one bit, soone other than their race was going to rule them, and they found it unacceptable.
Seeing that things weren't as he expected, Vlad made another announcent.
He ntioned the grand event called the royal selection, an event where different races in the city of Nervek battle for the position to be a council mber.
He planned to use this event as another ans to let Sato take charge by imdiately placing Sato in the competition.
This was a bit more accepted by the people since most of them felt a normal person like Sato wouldn't stand a chance.
When Vlad felt that was settled, he imdiately moved over to his daughter's engagent the next day.
Sato was so stunned by how fast things were moving, but his hands were tied since Erza wouldn't hear anything otherwise.
In his room, Sato laid on the bed dressed in vampire traditional wear. A white fabric around his waist and yellow marks were designed on his chest with paint.
"Ahhhh, I'm getting engaged." Sato muttered as he stared lifelessly at the ceiling.
"That's not the case, Aril, it's just…" Sato paused and let out a heavy sigh, ".... Nah, never mind, I shouldn't be thinking about that now".
Sato sat upright on the bed, "I wasn't able to get anything out of Christian, Vlad killed him before I even got the chance".
"Has to do with the king of this Kingdom, so far everyone who has ntioned him has said his na is Demon lord Jira, so it's safe to say a demon lord is the king here." Sato uttered while he kept thinking.
"Do you by chance know if he had any connections with her ambush here in Tamron? Jira I an." Sato asked.
"Urrrrgghhhhh, this is going nowhere!" Sato grunted before jerking up from the bed, "If I need answers, I'm going to have to et him face to face".
Knock! Knock!
Soone banged the door from the other side before the person voiced, "Sorry to disturb you, but lady Erza told to inform you that the ceremony is about to begin".
"Okay thank you." Sato responded before sighing, "Alright let's do this".
Sato walked out of the room and headed straight into the ceremony that was being held in the main room.
Almost everyone in Nervek ca to catch a glimpse of who Erza was getting engaged to, and they were dead in shock to see that it wasn't a vampire.
The engagent ceremony took place while Yuri was being tied up in a room with Deka and Jiro guarding it.
The main ceremony was done and everyone was already dancing to the classical music.
Erza was busy attending to people wishing her a happy engagent, anwhile, Sato was standing in the corridor outside.
He was staring at the far end of Nervek with the thoughts of what the demon king would be like.
Sato rembered what Hikari told him about the events, and one of them involved Demon lord Jira being the main man.
"Now what could you be doing out here all by yourself." Vlad voiced as he walked in to stand beside Sato.
Sato didn't change positions or shift his awareness away from where he stared, "Hey Duke, have you t the king in person before?" He asked.
Vlad paused, his hands tucked inside the sleeves like a monk as he faced the night sky with Sato.
"Why would you wanna know that?" Vlad raised his own question.
"Nothing really, I was just curious, seems everyone who has ntioned him all had different views and opinions." Sato answered.
"The king isn't the type to spend his ti chatting with other people, for the past 14 years, he has made a general appearance only three tis." Vlad exposed, "So, people never really got to know him well".
"What about you? What impression do you get from him?" Sato asked Vlad.
"I see him as a true King, one he rules with both integrity and honor, that said, No matter how much restitution he paid with every word and deed, his blood-stained hands could never really be clean, even if no one else knew they were dirty his eyes told a different story." Vlad voiced before tapping Sato on the shoulder.
"You should enjoy the ceremony, don't make my daughter worry by holding on to such thoughts, see you inside." Vlad smiled and went back to the party.
Sato looked down to see the forever knights roaming about the place to keep it safe and free of intruders.
"Master? Are you alright?" Divanchi voiced as she walked towards him.
"Divanchi, are you not enjoying the party with Yuri and the rest? You don't want to miss the whole party do you?" Sato spoke with a profound look on his face.
Divanchi looked at him for a while before climbing the balcony and sitting on it with her legs dancing.
"I can tell sothing is bothering you." Divanchi uttered, "You have three beautiful girls fretting about your well-being and sohow you still feel bleak… I must say you're pretty selfish".
Sato gave out a sharp grunt as the insult got to him, "I never said I was sa…".
"Sotis you can be both stupid and naive, not to talk of obnoxious, and for so reason afraid to fight even though you wield so much power, basically you're the definition of a child".
With a deadpan look on his face, Sato looked at Divanchi, "You know if you are trying to cheer up, you're doing a pretty back job".
Divanchi smiled as placed both her hands on his cheeks before pushing her face closer, "All I'm saying is, you should rely on us more, believe it or not, we're stuck with you regardless… the least you can do is not make us look bad serving you".
Sato sighed before giving out a weak smile, "You are making no sense".
