Chapter 995: 16.41 First Red Star - Pureblood
Thana Daybreak and her children began planning things to save their husband and father. Esther Dawn and Thana Daybreak revealed Amber Dawn's body's secret at this moment.
Earl Thana Daybreak said, "Amy, dear... There is something I would like to tell you about your birth."
"Is there something wrong with me? But they said I am just an ordinary human, I didn't even have Mom's bloodline or Dad's ability to use light elements." Amber Dawn said
Esther Dawn spoke, "Actually, we want to talk about that. Amber, you are born with both of our parent's special abilities and bloodline. Dad was actually already a Vampire transformed by Mom before you were born. So unlike me who was born as a Dhampir, you are a Vampire with a Noble bloodline and the ability to use light elements as well. You are a Hybrid Vampire who can use both darkness and light elements."
"Impossible!"
Amber Dawn then remembered the first time she woke up in this body. She was in the bathtub with crimson water, obviously blood diluted with water, yet there were no signs of wounds on her body. She had always considered it odd that he had nothing on her body at the moment. She went quiet as she remembered that day.
Thana Daybreak asked, "Dear, are you alright?"
"Ah. Um, so there is some kind of seal in my body?" Asked Amber Dawn.
"Yes, I actually checked just now. It seems to have loosened a lot. Have you felt something weird lately?" Asked Thana Daybreak worriedly.
Amber Dawn honestly responded to her mother's question,
"I am a bit stronger than other females in my class, even stronger than males as well. I can also smell the scent of blood even for a bloodless scratch. Moreover, my wounds never left a scar."
Esther Dawn said, "Why didn't you tell me about it? Since when...?"
"You know that I saved Asher that night right? I smelled his blood despite the rain... I thought maybe because he was just greatly wounded and didn't think too much..." Amber Dawn said.
Thana Daybreak asked, "Darling how about a thirst of blood? Have you felt it before? The urge to swallow... You haven't experienced it?"
"No. When I treated Asher I didn't feel something like that. Even when assisting my friends with their wounds it sometimes feels nauseating instead." Amber Dawn said.
She instantly remembered sneaking inside that abandoned chapel and seeing Instructor Skoll feed the roses with his blood. She felt thirsty at the moment. She informed her brother and mother about the incident, which astonished both of them.
Thana Daybreak had an idea and sliced her wrist, allowing it to go close to her daughter, seeing her face grow pale and running off to the bathroom to puke she realized something.
ARGH~ URGH!!
Stunned, Esther Dawn asked, "Mom, what are you doing?!"
"Este, your sister's bloodline might be purer than we thought," said Thana Daybreak.
"What did you mean? Wait... Is she...!!!" Esther Dawn thought of another possibility he would never have expected in his life and looked at her sister still puking in the bathroom.
Thana Daybreak said, "Only Purebloods reject the blood of those who are weaker than them. There is no urge to get blood and they have unparalleled strength and control. But other blood makes them uncomfortable. The worst case is... Puking. Moreover, they will only feel the thirst for the blood of someone stronger or equal to them. Lord Skoll is a being that can be considered as strong as the Progenitor. That's why he is able to feed his blood to the Progenitor and that's why the Supreme Monarch is willing to take it as well."
"But aren't Mom's Clan only Noble ranked? How can we have the bloodline of purebloods?!" Esther Dawn questioned.
"That's because the Ancestor of the Daybreak family is originally a member of the D'Arcy Clan. You've been Purebloods in the very beginning, it's just that it's been so diluted in this generation that you guys can only become Earl Ranked nobles in the end. Am I right, Duke?"
Suddenly, someone they didn't expect appeared in the house. It was Keylan Light and Duke Luther D'Arcy. They both arrived unexpectedly. The one who spoke just now was Keylan Light.
Duke Luther D'Arcy said, "You are just everywhere lately." He said to the annoying young priest with the scent of Heavenly Laws on his body making him uncomfortable. "Stay away from me! You smell bad."
"Impossible! This Saint takes a bath every day!" Retorted Keylan Light.
Thana Daybreak saluted the Duke while Esther Dawn questioned his teachers.
"Greetings to the Duke!"
"Why are the Instructors here?"
Instructor Keylan Light answered, "Well... Just on a whimsical visit."
"Orders from the Supreme Monarch. Amber Dawn was chosen as the new heir of the Blood Clan race. Transfer to the Elite Class for this Evening Class. This is also the order from the Headmaster. We cannot let a pureblood vampire stay with ordinary mortals. A wolf can never live with sheeps." Luther D'Arcy said.
Amber Dawn returned at the right moment to hear the orders from the headmaster and asked, "Can I say goodbye to my friends first?"
"Yes, I will accompany you, My Lady," said Duke Luther as he slightly lowered his head in greeting.
Such sudden politeness towards Amber Dawn from the Duke left Thana Daybreak and Esther Dawn speechless; only Keylan Light was smiling as he already knew about this.
Amber Dawn was confused, "...I"
"Don't worry. This is normal. Unlike Athan Vladimir who was chosen by the Noble Faction as an heir, you were chosen by the Progenitor himself. Duke here is the Progenitor loyal servant, your position is like a young lady in the Pureblood Family. It was only right for him to act like this." Keylan Light explained.
Duke Luther said, "My lady, this one is called Luther. You may ask me anything for help regardless of anything. It is my duty to protect and serve the successor."
"I wanted to save my Dad. Can the Blood Clan help me?" Asked Amber Dawn.
Luther D'Arcy kneels before Amber Dawn and kisses the back of her hands with his usual expressionless face.
"After your identity had been announced the Blood Clan would listen to your orders and everything was mandatory. Only the Progenitor can deny your words."
"I will accept the position as the Heir. Please announce it as you wish." Amber Dawn said.
Luther D'Arcy said, "It shall be announced as soon as possible. For now, please excuse me. You can summon me anytime by using this bell bracelet." Then he disappeared in clusters of bats and left the place.
Keylan Light also bids his farewell after saying, "I'm excited about today's evening classes. See you soon, Student Amber Dawn." He also left after saying these words.
Amber Dawn, Esther Dawn, and Thana Daybreak were dumbfounded by what just happened, they couldn't believe that their family suddenly became a royalty class because of Amber.
Esther Dawn felt helpless and said, "With this... I can no longer stay with the Templar Temple. I need to explain this to the Holy Son before he hears the announcement of your successorship though it might be already too late."
"Amy, come with Mom for a bit. Let's release the seal in your body completely. Then you can use Blood Suppression during the enthronement. I doubt the other nobles would be willing to accept you without it." Thana Daybreak said.
Amber Dawn said, "I understand, Mom."

As planned, Luther D'Arcy announced the New Heir's Enthronement Ceremony as soon as he departed the residence where the Dawn Family was residing. All Vampires of aristocratic status were summoned to attend. The unexpected venue is Genus Academy's Gymnasium.
All other Noble Clans of the Blood Race have varied reactions. Several people were astonished, but they accepted the changes without question. While others disagree and cannot believe it. Earl Elena Martel, in particular, despised Thana Daybreak for being a loner without a family and suddenly turning into a phoenix because of this event.
Earl Elena Martel destroyed almost everything in the house in her rage after receiving the invitation for the Enthronement Ceremony of Amber Dawn sent by the Duke Familiars to every family.
"Impossible! I don't believe it! Isn't that bitch a hen that can't lay eggs!? How come she suddenly has a son and a daughter?! With her daughter suddenly becoming the new heir!!!"
"I can't accept this! I am the one next in line. Even if it wasn't me to become the next heir my descendants are supposed to be candidates as well. But instead, a mortal was chosen and she was the daughter of that annoying woman, Thana Daybreak!!"
"This is unfair. My children are stronger than that slut! How is the Duke moving for her sake!? This is unacceptable! She must die!"

At Athan Vladimir's place...
Even after hearing the news of Amber Dawn's enthronement, Athan Vladimir doesn't seem to care at all. He had a few servants after he lost his position but the duke never hurt him after that day his clan was almost annihilated.
"I noticed that the girl was never simple. Not only the stupid Holy Son was under her spell, but she is also a lady that had the crest that seems to be important to the Fenrir Tribe. That day when she saved her friend I used Blood Suppression to stop that Ghoul and accidentally used it on her, so it wasn't really effective as I thought. I thought I drank too much that day," mumbled Athan Vladimir.
"Master, are you attending?"
"Since it is mandatory, I shall..." Athan Vladimir said to his servant who was there to prepare everything he needed. "Have you sent my message to the Headmaster?"
"Yes, My Lord. This is the answer given by Lord Skoll to your letter. It's from the Headmaster."
Athan Vladimir was overjoyed to get the headmaster's response letter. He requested whether the Headmaster might assist him in awakening his body, and he even vowed to entirely surrender to him as his servant. As he saw the contents of the letter delivered to him by his servant, he became solemn. He received his instructions from the letter, something he must fulfill to get what he wanted.
"Prepare my knight suit. I will need to attend the Enthronement Ceremony to become the Knight of the new heir."
"What...?! But my Lord!!"
"Follow the orders from the Progenitor."
"Yes, My Lord!"

At the dormitories of the Fenrir Tribe...
Conri Lycaon wasn't as surprised when he heard about Amber Dawn's Ceremony of Enthronement for Heirship. It wasn't until this afternoon that he realized what Instructor Keylan Light was saying.
"If Amber truly becomes the next Blood Clan leader, then with Asher Light's affection for her and my protection, we can let the three races get along, but... Will the elder generation even agree to it? I'm sure my side won't! Hah~ I should start cleaning up my faction for the future."
"Someone... Summon Randall Ruid and Elders for me. Tell them this is an order from the Werewolf King!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"

After reading the reports about Amber Dawn's Enthronement. Asher Light summoned Esther Dawn as expected. When the latter arrived in the room he saw his master and friend reading the personal invitation from the Blood Clan.
Esther Dawn said, "Your Highness, I'm here."
"There is no need for such a respectful tone. As the elder brother of the Vampire Princess, your standing isn't much lower than mine. Please take a seat." Asher Light said.
Esther Dawn wanted to say something but stop when he saw the poker face of the usual gentle Holy Son. He felt guilty even though it was something he didn't do as it involves his family instead.
"Please ask anything. I will answer everything if it is now."
Sigh~
"Are you a Dhampir? A spy from the Blood Race? Did you use me after all?!" Asher Light rants all questions he wanted to know but there is visible sadness within his eyes and feels betrayed by the one person he treated as a friend.
Esther Dawn realized that his friend had taken things wrongly. He swore with his everything an exchange and said,
"I swore to you that I have never entered your group as a Spy and that everything that is happening right now was not within my plans but accidents that I never knew until today!"
