Will of chaos

After leaving the hidden castle I met with the others in the same place outside the city, I told them that there should be no problem to go to the city in the morning, I also said that we would go straight to the castle since there was a way that would decrease any inconvenience we may have.

While talking to everyone I said that it would be better to enter the city on our mounts instead of entering with the carriage as it attracts a lot of attention due to its size or minibus.

This time a lot of people wanted to go to the city, even Nolan was interested when he heard about the various types of games that there are in this city, I gave a sum of 100 crystal coins for each one to spend as they wish in the city, that’s more than the fortune of a noble from a small kingdom, so I hope they don’t go bankrupt in this city.

Leonardo, who normally doesn’t mind showing up at our meetings, made a point of showing up after he heard reports about the City of Blood, when he came out of the Dungeon at night to see the city they had their eyes shining even brighter than when he saw the City of Stars.

According to Leonardo, the City of Stars was beautiful but lacked an artistic rock, but this City of Blood was a planned and monumental work of art where people could live.

With everything resolved, all that remained was to wait until morning.

Pov Queen Viviane:

I was surprised to see someone approaching the castle so brazenly from above, as it was very far away I couldn’t estimate its strength accurately, besides that, I was the only one to notice its approach in the middle of the night, but before I attempted an attack I realize that whoever it is has landed on my bedroom balcony.

I went to my room ready for combat when I realized that this individual’s strength was close to mine, I pushed away from the guards who were watching near my room and told them to leave as they could get in my way if a battle happened.

But I was surprised to enter the room and realize that this person didn’t have any bad intentions, it seems that this time I made a wrong prejudgment.

I also noticed that it wasn’t just one person, there were 2 beings sitting on his shoulders, 1 was on his arm and I could feel something watching me through the invader’s shadow.

The worst thing was that they all had a similar power level to mine according to my senses, moreover the person himself seemed like a mystery to me, I felt that all these beings around him connected with this red haired Vampire, so it was easy to assume they were his Familiars.

One thing I found strange was that for the first time in a long time I couldn’t see completely through someone, I felt that what I was seeing and feeling was just a part of a whole that I wasn’t able to understand.

I talked to this person for a while and found that I just wanted to visit the city in a quiet way without causing any problems, after listening to him and analyzing more carefully, I was able to feel a part of the Blood Goddess’s power coming from him, I could also feel the natural pressure he exerts on me, it made me realize that this person was strongly connected to the Blood Goddess Selene.

Now I could understand why this person came to me, he knows that his presence will be felt one way or another by the devotees of the Temple of Blood in this city, he must be a Priest or maybe even a High Priest since he was able to affect even me who is not a devotee of the Blood Goddess.

I’m so used to paying attention to what people hide that it took me a while to notice their appearance, at that moment I remember another subject and I realize that it would be better to meet these people again on another occasion, so I hand over a dagger with my mark to that you will be able to come to me in the morning.

“He was strange, I felt a strange and bizarre mixture of presences coming from him, it was difficult to even confirm that he is a Vampire, in addition, I felt a Dragon presence in his body…” (I)

Seeing his youthful appearance reminded me of the request I received two months ago, as it was the request of an old friend I can fulfill since the person came to my city.

“I wonder how he knew this strange child would come here.” (I)

Pov Zenos:

The next morning my entire group with Nira’s execution leaves the Dungeon and I summon the Demon Horses along with the Shadow Horses that are inside the Dungeon as I have a summoning contract with them.

We guard the carriage and ride to the City of Blood gate where the Gate Guards were Vampires.

We all get in line and in a short time we enter the city, when we pass through the gate I realize that we are on one of the three main roads that lead straight to the center of the city where the castle is.

Walking through the streets I notice that half of the population on the streets are Vampires, but there were also many people of other races, with my superhuman hearing I could hear many talking about gambling or card games.

The architecture of the city was beautiful and the different colors somehow complemented each other, all the buildings had more than 3 floors on the ground floor, I also noticed many women and men in revealing clothes calling people on the street in a sensual way, the stalls along the roads were divided into two types. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝘨

The first type of street stall was the food like most cities, but I must point out that among these foods there was a wide variety of foods that contain blood or that sell bottles of blood.

The second type of street stall sold various types of game-related things like cards, dice, etc.

I was amazed at how full of life this town was, there were people who were laughing in the streets talking loudly about how they made a fortune, there were people with empty eyes as they cried mumbling about how they lost everything and there was even a funny couple where the woman was pulling her husband while arguing with him about quitting gambling.

I would like to appreciate this city a little more, but before that, I have to go to the castle, so I follow the main road along with everyone else as I go to the center of the city where the castle is.

When we got there we were stopped while surrounded by soldiers who were also all Vampires, after saying that we came to find the Queen and show the dagger she delivered to me yesterday, the Soldier with the best quality armor said to the others if dispersed and ordered another soldier to warn the people of the castle about guests, so he respectfully said that we should wait in a drawing room at the castle gates until someone came to guide us to the throne room if the Queen agreed to receive us.
