The forgiveness

1400

I sighed thinking about the fact that I've been in this world for over 100 years. Vampire life is wonderful and boring at the same time.

Look at me, 100 years ago I was just a fool in a vampire's body. Today I am the king of a country that I conquered by accident destroying my enemies

I looked at a paper in my hand that I had just received and sighed.

"Deane…want to do me a favor?" I looked at my side "I'll give you a gift if you do"

There was my adopted daughter the dragon Deane. She was already a size much larger than when I met her, she was already a 17-year-old looking girl.

She looked at me curiously and got up.

"Yes daddy" She smiled "What does my daddy want?"

"I heard that there is an increase in the amount of Cold in the north," I said with a sigh "Could you eliminate them?"

"Daddy, why do you worry so much about these cold ones?" Deane asked "They aren't strong, at best able to defeat a newborn vampire without training or a werewolf in human form"

"Because my beautiful daughter, they multiply so fast" I stroked Deane's head "they also have no control over their hunger, which means that sooner or later they reveal the supernatural world to humans, after our hard work of making them forget us"

"Are you scared of humans Daddy?" Deane asked with a grimace "are they pathetic"

I sighed and stroked Deane's head harder this time.

"Daughter, humans can adapt to everything, which no other species has, eventually they will compare themselves to us using their weapons," I said with a smile"Don't underestimate humans! Daughter this might be the last thing you do. will do and unlike me, you're not immortal... I don't want you to die okay?"

"Yes, Dad!" Deane replied, "I'll be careful, can I take my team?"

"Of course, you can!" I replied smiling "I think it's even better, just be careful ok?"

"Yes" She screamed and ran out of the throne room

I sighed and picked up the other papers.

Now it's time to start making my plan work.

OK! I fucked up.

I cannot deny that this was indeed a foolish thing I did. I became very focused on hiding the supernatural from humans and eliminating cold. It was a mistake

I didn't realize that the new werewolf species that the witches created ended up spreading and somehow creating more monsters.

I could start a purge against them, as I did with the cold, but they've already joined their society in the shadows. There's no way to keep complete control over them anymore.

All I can do is watch and take precautions in case they start showing too much. another failure of mine as a leader.

On the bright side, the deadline for the vampires who made a body contract with me is over. I'll finally have their bodies to experiment on.

Going to the witches' cell I walked slowly and stopped at the opening of the cell where men and women were sitting on the floor next to small and large children.

"Hello" I greeted them

I sat on a bench in front of the cells and they hung their heads

"You can raise your head" I spoke calmly"I came to say that I have a proposal for you"

"what the hell proposal do you want motherfucker"

A woman stood up to everyone's attention.

"Aya, don't provoke him" An old man pleaded to try to hold the young woman

"You monster, you trapped us in this cell for 109 years, made us reproduce like rats inside this cell" She screamed hitting the grate "Humiliated us, tortured us, took our old men to god knows where it was 109 damn years of fear pain and disgrace! 3 generations born inside a cell, now he says he wants to make us a proposal!"

"Yes, a proposal," I said seriously"I punished you guys a little more than I should, at least the younger ones, so I'll make my proposal"

"Are you aware of that? you monster" She hit the cell again crying

"Yes, I have!" I replied "it's not hard to see a fact"

"Aren't you going to say you regret it?" She screamed crying "It's not"

"No!" I replied "I don't regret it, I just made sure you don't act disrespectful to my existence for your kind anymore"

"Don't play with me, the creatures my ancestors made weren't even close to being a threat to you" She cried with an angry scream "You're only punishing us because we created something close to you, now you're not so unique anymore "

"Ummm, will it?" I asked curiously "I'm sure it's not. I believe you are being punished for trying to create something to destroy me, you may have failed, but you could have been right!"

"That's...paranoid and disgusting, you punished 3 generations to misery just because of paranoia?" She cried, punching the grate again and the other wizards cringed, praying "You're a monster, you're a devil, you devil"

"Hooh, I'm liking you more and more," I said jokingly and approached the cell looking at her "Red hair, fit body, despite the circumstances, the phrase that even in the trash a flower grows is real"

She recoiled with a look of fear when she heard my words and I laughed, indeed she is beautiful but I'm not the type

"Don't worry witch" I said confidently "I won't do anything to you! I'll just propose, work for me, for 50 years and your clan will be released"

"That simple?" she asked looking at me suspiciously "I don't think it's just that, we have a grudge against you. You would never allow my clan to be free and they plot against you"

"In addition to being beautiful, she is smart, I liked it!" I joked and got closer to the cell" Of course not, I'll make sure to make you put a non-aggression spell against me on yourselves"

"So shall we go from prisoners to slaves?" She growled biting her lip "In the end, there will be no freedom"

"Well, I would call them servants" I replied "But, you're not wrong, until your clan's hatred against me and my kind is not healed, I can't let you go free, but I can let you have some freedom. , can you imagine seeing the world outside these cells? you've never seen it?"

She gasped and I laughed. This is a good move

"The world out there?" She stuttered "I only heard about them from my grandparents when they were still here before you took them!!"

The roar of rage came once more and her wild eyes returned taking the place of fear and sadness.

"Yes, the world outside is beautiful and you will have the chance to see them, have you ever thought about living like people and not mice?" I said looking mainly at the younger ones who were being grabbed by their parents as if they wanted to protect them "what do you think about this? I'll give you some time to think"

I finished my words and turned towards the dungeon exit.

"Wait"

That was quick!! I think I finally got my witches!! Since the others in the world hide from me, before that, I moved with my finger and the snake that was crawling around the cell came out through a hole.

This was a backup plan, the snake would bite the kids and they would be forced to pledge allegiance to me to save the kids if they didn't accept the deal.

why didn't I do this before?

Well... This clan had to suffer for trying to create beings to destroy me, using the prophecy of the Mikaelson family's downfall to try to create the beast.

Now they've suffered enough
