On friendly Terms?
How was I supposed to know? He looks like a vampire, slls like a vampire, and he even had blood manipulation.
Well, he clearly isnt. What if he was sent by a major demon? Do you have any idea what youve just done?
The voices trickled into Grays ears as he regained consciousness. Although he could hear the people in the room, it seed as if he was blindfolded as everything around him was dark, and when he tried to move he discovered that he had been bound as well.
What about the other one? Isnt she his thrall? I an look at her.
Again, youre wrong. That one isnt even a demon, shes just a human.
And the Silentwalker cub? Theres no way humans couldve made their way so deep into the forest without being slaughtered by an Orc.
Perhaps its his, I an hes wearing an Orc ranger suit. Sigh, for all the strength you have Regina, I feel like so of your brain cells were sacrificed. After the second voice said that, the blindfold was ripped off Grays face, and a pale man in a black a victorian suit looked down on him from a kneeling position.
I am Alucard, and no, not the prince of vampires. People always assu I am when I introduce myself. Anyway, forgive my subordinate, it seems she may have mistaken you for sothing else, said the vampire as he began to untie Gray.
However you have to understand, if you continued going on your blood spree, people wouldve mistaken it for the work of a vampire. So as much as I hate to interrupt the work of a demon, I cant just let you do as you please in my turf you see, continued the vampire as he finished untying him.
So if you could just explain to your leader that it was all a misunderstanding, I will let you be on your way, smiled the vampire.
{Sigh, seems like there's been a misunderstanding. Well, luckily. I don't suppose this eccentric vampire would've kept alive otherwise.} Gray took a quick glance around the room, they seed to be in a lavish palace of so sort. The color sche was primarily red and black, as expected from a den of vampires. However, instead of dark undertones, it had quite a light ambiance, making it feel like the palace of so eccentric king instead of that of a blood-thirsty vampire.
Excuse, but where am I? Since it seed like the vampires were sowhat frightened of his non-existent master, he figured that he could at least ask that much.
Youre at the embassy of the Vampire nation of Kalin to the Elven state of Elden. And Im the ambassador, welco.
I-I see.
{There are a lot of powerful enemies nearby, this place is not safe.} Laylas voice whispered in his ears, it felt as if she were right beside him.
If you dont mind, can you please refrain from all telepathic ans of communication without permission. I understand that your boss must be worried about you, but there are rules to be followed in diplomatic areas, said Alucard as he stared at Gray, a sort of confused look on his face.
S-Sorry,
{I will talk to you later.}
Anyway, you must be hungry. Regina, tell the maids to prepare him sothing to eat, ordered Alucard, sending Regina away with the clap of his hands.
And where is the girl? asked Gray, as he stood up. His suit was still on his body, but all his weapons were gone.
And my weapons.
The girl is fine, her and the cub are being kept in another room. As for your weapons, enchanted weapons are not allowed on the premises sadly, so you will get them on your way out.
Understandable, replied Gray before trying to create a small dagger in his left hand.
The blood stone at the center of the building prevents you from using your blood powers, so sadly you cant create your own weapons either. Speaking of which, there is much we have to discuss about your ability, said Alucard as he began walking towards the large black door at the end of the room.
Are you coming?
As the two of them walked down the lavishly decorated hallways, they passed by multiple won dressed in maid uniforms, each and every one of them bowing as they passed by Alucard.
{He has quite the taste in won,} thought Gray as he noticed that every maid they passed had quite the bust.
The funny thing was that Gray could feel a smothering presence radiating from each and every one of them, more so than even Alucard himself who seed to have little to no presence at all. Which in itself made Gray all the more wary of him.
You dont have to be so tense, Im not going to harm you. If I wanted to youd already be dead, said Alucard as he took a sharp turn before coming face to face with a massive black door. The door seed to react in response to his appearance as it opened right in front of him.
{Can he read minds?} wondered Gray as he followed Alucard through the door.
The room they entered was quite spacious, with a king-sized bed at the center, and satin crimson sheets covering the exterior. On top of it lay an unconscious Tesse, and lying on top of her was the black cub sleeping soundly. Unlike Gray, none of them had been bound.
Sleep magic, we couldnt use it on you since you are a demon. With a snap of his fingers the two of them woke up, and Tesse went into full combat mode in that instant. She reached for the handgun that was usually strapped at her waist and aid the non-existent gun at Alucard.
After pulling the trigger a few tis, she realized that there was no gun in her hands.
Master?
Its okay, they are friendly, explained Gray, saying the last part as if he couldnt believe it himself. The cub began growling at Alucard, taking a few steps back as it snarled at him, showing its toothless mouth.
Calm it down, we dont want it upsetting our hosts, ordered Gray. The last thing he needed was his investnt getting put down because it couldnt control itself.
Sir, the food is ready, announced Regina as she appeared out of thin air in front of Alucard.
Tesse imdiately ran for her, aiming to punch her in the head. But just as fast as she appeared, Regina disappeared, causing Tesse to swing at the air.
Like I said, they are friendly, Grays tone made Tesse know that she had ssed up. Her head hung as she picked the cub up and walked behind Gray, whispering a soft Im sorry as she passed by him.
