Chapter 9

Ahh, I thought it would be easy to be a leader of a vampire clan. But the truth is far from that, the moment I got back home, after I drove Clary to her home. Raphael and 2 mundanes I haven't seen, came in to my living room while I was reading a book about torture. When I first saw the mundanes they seemed nervous to be in front of me.

<Why is everybody afraid of me these days. I am not that scary.>

Raphael smiled and asked me another question.

<Sire, why are you reading a book named, Most gruesome and sadistic ways ways of torture ever created.>

The 2 mundanes near him flinched and looked like they were going to piss themselves. And while looking at them I answered.

<Needed some ideas for a project I was working on. Raphael, do we have an answer from Marcel?>

<Yes sir, he agreed to meet you. So I set up a meeting which will happen in 2 days.>

Then I turned at the mundanes near him and asked Raphael.

<Are these two my meal for today?>

They were so scared they fell to the ground and started begging me not to kill them.

<Raphael?>

<No sir, they are normal humans who have a favor to ask of you, and please don't scare them anymore.>

I looked at them and asked them.

<What do you want? And if one of you even dare to tell 1 lie I will exterminate every single person in your bloodline.>

The 2 mundanes stood up and came in front of me then bowed to me.

<Please, sir Dante. Save our son. He has late stage lung cancer, his doctors gave him a 5% chance of him leaving the hospital alive. We are rich, we can pay you, even become your slave if you so desire. Just save our son.>

<Sure, I will save your son, but i need to tell you the consequences of what you are asking me are. If I let one of my vampires change him, he will no longer be allowed to meet you until he is properly trained.>

<What do you mean trained, he isn't a dog for gods sake, he is a boy who hasn't even lived his life yet. And if you are going to treat him like a dog I would prefer to ask a vampire from another clan to do it.>

<Hahahaha, that's funny, first of all I don't care what you do, I only wanted to help the boy. Newborn vampires are unpredictable, they can't control themselves, the most likely scenario to happen is that you make another vampire change him, he takes your money and leaves a undisciplined newborn vampire in your hands. He will kill you accidentally because of his blood thirst. If I make Raphael here turn him, he will be trained to defend himself, and we will turn him into a proper clansman.>

The 2 parents looked horrified of what would happen to their son if they turned to another one other than me.

<What do you mean Clansman, you will train him and give him to us!>

I stood up and lifted them by their necks.

<Look at my eyes you bitch. I am the King here. And I decide everything, I could skin you two alive and show you off like a Trophy and nobody would even complain. Do you know why? Because I make the order and the others follow like sheep's because only I put enough effort to protect them.>

I looked to Raphael and told him to take these two out of my sight, and him to decide what to do. Raphael carried the two fools out of my office. And I continued to peacefully read my book like a proper mentally healthy individual. People like these started appearing at my doorsteps asking for favors, it was one of my ideas to spread rumors in the shadow world that I do "favors" for people in exchange for "favors" I could use whenever I want. I gain both "hooks" on people and more and more vampires see me as a great clan leader who would do anything for his clan. It was hard to turn my reputation from. The psychopath who massacres people when angry to an overpowered and overprotective clan leader who is kind, unless offended. It made my work more difficult, but the reward was worth it... I HATE POLITICS. I may be strong enough to not care about everything and do whatever the fuck I want. But most intellectual creatures need to talk to people and feel happy by being with people who want to be near you. If you become a tyrant who nobody likes, you will just go crazy. So if I have to inconvenience myself for the sake of a happy future for myself. I would even sleep in paperwork and politics for thousands of years if I have to.

<Sir, may I come in?>

A feminine voice came from outside of my door, it must be Raphael's assistant. When Raphael is busy he sends her to inform me about my he meeting I will have to attend to.

<Yea, come in.>

She came in bowed to me and started speaking with a professional smile.

<Sir, you have a meeting with the seelie Queen in a moment. Would you like me to show you the way?>

Great, I need to talk politics with someone who has experience in it from the beginning of time.

<Yes, lead the way.>
