The Duke's son gets kidnapped

Within the abyss exists a holy garden, filled with natural fauna and flora. A man that is worshiped as a god resides within.

"Send a message to the Wanderer, the target is out." A man wearing a white robe with the symbol of a serpent is seen holding a crystal ball. 'It's only a matter of time until we are free from the shackles of imprisonment.'

"We will do as you say, Divine One."

"Hey sis, how do you think this got here?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean we're still inside dad's estate, so there shouldn't be anything dangerous here."

"It probably just sneaked in, don't worry about it." Eris responds as she punches Light's shoulder. 'Yeah no, something is wrong here. I should be on my guard in case something happens again.'

"Ouch..."

"Let's go back home."

"I don't think that'll happen." A group of white robbed individuals appear, and surround Light as Eris prepares for another fight.

"So, you're the guys that released the panther here"

"Huh, panther, what panther?" The leader of the group looks visibly confused. "Anyways, we are God's Grace, servants of God and carriers of his will."

"You should cooperate and comply with our demands; else we use force."

"Back off or I'll kill you all." Eris threatens as she pulls out her blade.

Laughing, the suspicious individual treats the threat as a joke. "I'm sorry little girl, but you're too weak."

"Yeah, he's right sis." Light agrees as he doesn't want to see his sister commit suicide by kicking a wall.

"Shut up Light, this is the only thing I can do." Eris says as she secretly breaks the stone her dad gave her.

"So, why do I need this again?" Eris asks confused as to why her dad is giving her a rock.

In front of her is the Duke of the Dracula dukedom and the faction leader of the neutral party, Loren Dracula. Having dark black hair and eyes so red it makes you think you're looking directly in the depths of hades. He dons a black suit and a red tie, giving him the same look as the demons that reside in the world, but the most surprising thing is...

"Daddy's just worried that something might happen to you two, so if you encounter something scary just break the rock and daddy will come save you."

"Oh, thank you dad, mwah."

"Mwah."

Loren Dracula, one of the strongest men to ever exist, the rival to the vampire king is actually a loving father.

"Stall for some time, while dad comes to save us." Eris whispers secretly next to Light.

"So, what do you want from us?" Light asks as he becomes curious as to why this group he's never heard of is here. 'Could it be for political power. No, it can't be, dad's part of the neutral faction and there shouldn't be a reason for people to attack him. Maybe they're aiming for us, rather than dad, but for what reason.'

"We'll have plenty of time to talk later."

Light was confused as to what that meant. "What does that mean..." But before he could finish, the man in white teleports behind white, knocking him out. The last thing he remembers is his sister's shout as he slowly fades to black.

"Light!"

--[Duke's study]--

A shadow engulfs the room while a dark figure forms from within the shadow.

"Sir, the lady has broken the stone of protection."

"Hmmm, it seems that they took the bait." The Duke nods as everything is going as he planned.

"Should I call the house of blood."

"They should be quite hungry as they haven't fought since the war 13 years ago, tell them to prepare.

"Understood."

The shadow melts into the floor and the room is returned back to its original state.

Damn, why can't we do anything to her.

There seems to be something protecting her from harm.

'A tier 7 shield that's invisible and can't be broken by normal means. Could it be the stone of protection, but that's a single-use shield with only 100 in existence. A single stone could go for 1000000 drachmas due to its ability to not need mana for activation, there's no way he'll give that to a little girl.' The man in white ponders as he carefully observes the shield covering the young girl. "Prepare to leave, the Duke has arrived."

"Ugh, where am I?"

"Well, hello there little one. I am Enoch, the first Apostle of God."
