It is indeed true that knowledge is blinder than innocence.

Six months after Cain's deep sleep.

Below the castle of eternal night, a small forest with black trees and red leaves gave a dark and cold feeling at the same time.

In the middle of the small forest, a red lake with absurd proportions left the air with a bloody smell and full of death.

At the edge of the red crimson lake, two people waited patiently for Cain's awakening.

It was a man and a woman wearing noble clothes, each wearing a red medal in the shape of a half-moon on his chest.

Selene and Ettore Scarlet

"Darling, how long have you spent in your awakening?" Selene asked by looking at her husband with a proud smile on his lips.

"Two months..." Ettore spoke with the same proud smile as Selene. He's never been happier in his life than he is now. Even when he held his children in his arms, he did not feel as much joy as he does now.

It is not for nothing that Ettore and Selene are so happy, the longer the awakening lasts, the more powerful the talent of the full-blooded vampire will be.

Six months asleep, Cain is probably one of the most talented vampires in a thousand years. If any noble vampire family discovers this fact, it can be said that the Scarlet family will be the target of all purebred vampires.

After all, none of the Patriarchs of the noble families of pure blood want another immortal monster like Dracula to appear again in this troubled world.

Since Dracula disappeared from the world. The noble families left over from the war have taken on the role of ruling all the vampires. They ruled the vampires with some sort of council called, blood parliament that they control perfectly.

Pure-blooded vampires want to continue with this status forever, without a vampire king getting in the way of their power plans.

Suddenly the lake of blood began to appear small ripples on the surface and suddenly a small explosion happened to splash blood everywhere.

A small fog began to appear, but a strong wind caused the fog to spread to the side showing a slender figure floating in the air.

Selene and Ettore looked at the boy who was their son floating in the air with a shocked look on their faces. Cain floated in the air emanating a royal air that made Ettore and Selene feel their bodies heavy as if their blood were bowing before a king.

But that heavy feeling disappeared the same second it appeared as if it had never existed. If it weren't for Ettore and Selene's sweat-soaked clothes, they would have thought the whole thing was an illusion, but the reality was in front of them denying that possibility.

Placing this matter deep in her heart, Selene looked at Cain with a gratifying smile on her red lips and spoke in a voice full of kindness. "Cain come let me give you a kiss."

Cain listening to Selene slowly and carefully landed in front of his mother, and soon after he felt a soft touch on his forehead containing all the love and affection of a worried mother.

"Look at you, you've grown into a more handsome man than your father," Selene spoke looking at Cain's whole naked body with a fun-filled smile. She specifically looked at a certain area in particular and blinked a few times in amazement at something.

Cain's appearance has changed a lot since he slept soundly for six months in the lake of blood. His long pale blue hair fluttered softly in the breeze of the wind, while his two bright red reptilian eyes looked at Selene and Ettore with a smile full of relief on Cain's handsome and more mature face.

The most impressive was not the change of appearance from a twelve-year-old child to a twenty-year-old man, but the pair of crimson red angel wings on Cain's back. The pair of red angelic wings each had a wingspan three meters long and looked very beautiful as if they were on fire.

"Aham!" When Selene finished speaking, she heard a false cough and looked away to see Otter looking at her with the helpless expression on his face.

"Don't be jealous of your own son, and inelegant," Selene spoke with her serious face, but the amusing smile on her red lips spoiled all the serious expression on her face.

"Changing the subject, son, your wings are quite peculiar to a vampire." Trying to change the subject to hide his embarrassment, Ettore speaks to Cain as he gazes at the pair of angelic wings on his son's shores with curiosity.

"Yes, those wings appeared because, I have a lineage closer to our ancestor than the other vampires," Cain spoke by looking at his wings, with a smile, with his talent, and with Dracula's immortal lineage, he can become a power that can't be ignored by anyone in this complicated and mysterious world. He just needs time to grow.

"Good, good, good. Hahaha, someone of pure blood from our ancestor Dracula was finally born." Hearing Cain, Ettore didn't hold on and started laughing out loud as he tapped his son's shoulder showing a gratifying smile on his face.

"Aham! Darling, please remember you're a father of three. Then behave like one." Selene's fake cough woke Ettore from happiness and to try and hide the Embarrassment, he only showed a half-smile and soon regained the calm of a vampire who lived for three hundred years.

"So son, what talent have you awakened?" Selene asked, holding Cain's hand gently as she looked up at him with those red eyes of hers glowing with curiosity.

"I've gained the ability to manipulate..."
