Chapter 437 - Bloodline
Chapter 437 – Bloodline
Because no one blocked their way, they arrived at the Rubrignis Clan pretty quickly. It was significantly much faster than before. In total, it only took them 10 minutes.
The Royal Carriage stopped in front of the Rubrignis' Clan's metal gates.
The guards immediately panicked and sent someone to inform the Clan Head.
Lawrend walked out of the carriage with Aezel and Aleshia following behind him.
"Y-Your Highness, what is the reason for your visit?" the guard asked nervously.
As a guard of the Rubrignis Clan, he was stationed at the gate when Lawrend fought those experts from the empire yesterday. Knowing that Lawrend could crush him at any moment only made the guard shake in nervousness.
"I want to see… I forgot his name," Lawrend replied awkwardly.
He really didn't care about that guy, so it was easy for him to slip from his mind.
"O-Oh…"
The guard nodded his head and forced a smile on his face.
They waited for almost a minute before the Clan Head of the Rubrignis Clan came rushing out.
"Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
The head of the Rubrignis Clan was a middle-aged man with a head full of red hair.
"Errr… I want to see someone from your clan. He failed the Entrance Exam for the Mage Academy," Lawrend replied.
That was everything he knew about the person he was looking for.
"Wait…"
Suddenly, the Clan Head's face turned black.
"Your Highness, my name is Polo Rubrignis. I will go ask those who fit in your description," the Clan Head said before he disappeared.
Lawrend looked at Aezel and Aleshia and furrowed his eyebrows. For some reason, the Clan Head seemed suspicious.
Lawrend waited for several more minutes, but the Clan Head hadn't returned yet.
"Let's go in," Lawrend said.
Without paying attention to the guards, he bravely walked inside the grounds of the Rubrignis Clan with his two maids. The guards could only watch in fear.
"Fufufufu. This is how it should be, Master. Everyone should be scared of you," Aezel said with a satisfied smile on her face.
"It makes things easier, I guess."
Lawrend shrugged his shoulders.
They entered inside the biggest building in the clan. The moment they entered, everyone looked at Lawrend in confusion.
"What branch of the family did you come from? What are you doing here?" An angry-faced man asked Lawrend.
He looked like the average mean uncle that everyone had. He thought that Lawrend was a part of the Rubrignis Clan because of the color of his hair.
Before the man could further approach Lawrend, Aezel stepped forward and blocked his way.
"Bitch! Get out of the way!" the man shouted.
"Bitch?"
Lawrend looked at the man's face and raised an eyebrow.
"What kid? Do you have a problem with that?" the man asked angrily.
"Let's go, Aezel. I don't want to waste my time on this stupid guy," Lawrend said and ignored him.
"You!"
Seeing that Lawrend ignored him, the man became angrier. He grabbed Lawrend's shoulder.
All of a sudden, he saw the world flip around him.
He slammed to the floor with his back.
"AHH!"
"Hmph. How dare you touch, Master?" Aleshia snorted.
Although she wasn't as strong as Aezel, she still knew a lot of martial arts. She easily flipped the man without him expecting it.
"What an idiot," Lawrend remarked.
He touched the man's forehead and cooked his brain with his fire magic.
"AHHHHHhhh…"
The man tried to shout, but his voice quickly died down.
"Master, you didn't have to move," Aezel said with a frown on her face.
She was about to kill him when he made his move.
"Whatever. I killed him because I hate that red-haired guy we're looking for. His arrogance reminded me of him. Oh, wait. I remember now. His name is Vernon," Lawrend said in realization.
"Fufufufu. I guess he still had some use," Aezel said with a smile.
They entered deeper into the building. They passed through a long hallway. There were pictures of different people all over the walls.
"Are these their ancestors? There are so many."
Lawrend looked around him with a face full of interest.
"That will be impressed if it is, Master," Aezel replied.
"Master, do you think our descendants will also make a clan of their own?" Aleshia suddenly asked.
"What's with that question? Of course, they will," Lawrend replied.
"Then… Why don't we change all of our family names at our wedding?" Aleshia asked with an excited smile on her face.
"Hmmmmm… That's a good idea. Remind me then," Lawrend replied and nodded his head in satisfaction.
Her idea was good. It will be easier for him to unite his descendants. At least, if he somehow died, they would be able to prosper.
"We're here, Master," Aezel announced.
They entered inside a wide and empty room. There was nothing there except a large red waterfall flowing through the room and a long wounding river that circled the pond under the waterfall.
"What the? Why is there a blood waterfall here?"
"I have also never seen this," Aezel replied.
"I have never seen so much fresh blood…" Aleshia muttered.
Even an assassin like her had never seen so much blood. That amount was at least 100 people. It was very creepy.
"Hmm?"
Lawrend felt odd. He looked at the flowing blood and felt something.
He slowly approached the blood waterfall, and the more that feeling strengthened.
"Master?" Aleshia called out.
Both her and Aezel followed behind him in confusion. He looked like he had seen something shocking.
Lawrend ignored them and touched the pool of blood in the small pond.
*Thump*
Lawrend's life flashed in his mind.
"W-What is this?"
Lawrend took a step back and grabbed his rapidly beating chest.
"Master! Stay away from the blood! It might be poisonous!" Aezel shouted.
She grabbed his finger that was covered in blood and cleaned it with a cloth.
"No… This is a bloodline resonation…" Lawrend muttered with his eyes wide in shock.
