Punishment

Bertha knew she would never hold her fan in her hands again.

She sacrificed the lives of many vampires to get it. The fan has been with her for a thousand years, in which she hasn't been able to figure out what kind of fan it is, much less what it can do.

The interest in the Little Clan Leader's eyes is a fast pass to find out what she will do next.

And she was absolutely right.

"Oh, I like this fan, I feel an affinity with it, so I will decommission it, hmm, yes... This will be part of the punishment for Bertha, if she doesn't want to be the example and be the first to receive the ultimate punishment, it must be a punishment that hurts one way or another..."

Little Mara had no scruples to take the fan away from Bertha, but it is true, she was in a trance, but it is mostly because she felt resonance with her soul; it is as if the fan was calling her and asking her to hold it in her hands. Something so inexplicable that she couldn't help but act that way.

A daylight robbery.

But the little girl didn't mind being seen as a shameless leader.

"Besides that, it's good to present a tribute towards the Clan Leader, as a sign of welcome to the place where she lives and guard, don't you think, Elder Taros?" Little Mara raised her eyebrow, looking contemptuously at Bertha as she directed her question towards the Elder.

"Yes, that's right, Little Clan Leader, you're absolutely right, it's an honor for Bertha to offer you a tribute as a sign of her obedience."

How can Elder Taros not see, how is the attitude of the Little Clan Leader towards him, she showed a sweet smile, but that was because he treated her well, but now with Bertha, who tried to attack her by making a petty excuse on her behalf for her action, it is indisputable that she would have a different treatment than the one he received.

"Excellent. Now, you say there are several vampires inside and outside the Clan's territory guarding and guarding various places?"

Not knowing why on earth little Mara asked that, Elder Taros answered honestly.

"Yes, that's right. Inside the territory we have ten guarding places and fifty outside it."

Little Mara narrowed her eyes.

"How many people are guarding each place?"

Elder taros had a bad feeling when she asked about that.

"Those in the territory are between one and two members, and those outside are five to ten, due to the immensity of work and location."

Nodding, little Mara placed her small hand on her chin, staring at Bertha.

Bertha skips a bit.

Elder Taros closed his eyes and knew what would be the ultimate punishment he would give the librarian.

"Hand over Bertha, another type of duty outside the places of protection, put someone trained and obedient inside the library, I don't want to have to be in confinement here and have to see the face of someone who tried to attack me knowing my status... Get someone who is pleasing to the eyes.

I don't want to see Bertha for the next hundred years, whether or not she behaves elsewhere, I don't want to see her, but there must be someone constantly monitoring her, I don't want her to rebel because I demoted her in position and try to attack me again, or attack the interests of the clan, if at any time that is seen, they can deal with her, in a manner befitting the maximum punishment, plus torture of the clan."

Elder Taros and Bertha took a chilly breath, and shuddered, not only at the words, but at the chill expression she gave them.

Elder Taros lamented in his heart, 'Where is the sweet Little Clan Leader I saw at the ceremony, the one who gave me a sweet and lovely smile when she went through the door of destiny?'

Without further thought, the poor Elder had to answer.

"Yes, Clan Leader!"

Still in the same position, half kneeling in front of her, Elder Taros knew she didn't finish giving orders and didn't wait long for the little girl to speak again.

"Elder Taros, make a report of those outside and inside the territory, inform them that the new Clan Leader would like a report, and I want it detailed, I want to know if they are the ones who have been helping the two Elders of the council I just eliminated....

Besides that, advise them not to try and outsmart me, I don't like it, I may get angry, and cause them to not only lose their position, but their reputation and lives are at stake..."

Elder Taros, knew at that moment that she can be sweet to those who treat her well, but if someone challenged her position as Clan Leader, she will take drastic measures to ensure order, just as she did with the two Elders on the council.

Leaving the other Elders who have had ideas of rebellion in terror and panic, and those who are in favor of her, pleased with her actions.

Besides that, he knows she is not someone they can mess with or underestimate.

"I will send a message to inform them, and report back as soon as possible--" But before he could finish speaking, little Mara raised her hand to stop him from expressing.

"It is unnecessary for you to give me the report so quickly, the reason for my coming to the library is to read, I want to know many things I don't know, I want to feed my mind, so I don't want to be bothered by insignificant things for a whole week, so don't bother me with it.

If you finish it before I leave my confinement here, you can present that report to Ursula. She will know what to do..."

"Yes, My Lady."

Elder Taros has not noticed, but his way of addressing her, is different and the respect towards her is more encouraged, as well as his attitude, he may be an Elder who has been guarding the door of destiny, but he is down to earth, and he knows who is the true Master of the territory.

Regarding that, he decided in his heart, that he must treat her as a superior to him, not because she is a girl that he can crush with one hand, he should see her as lesser; she not only possesses a powerful aura, but she possesses a strange power inside her, not to mention the Guardian's aura, who at any moment can show himself and give justice to the little one.

Bertha, who was silent during the whole time, realized that she made the worst mistake she has made all her life, her older brother will punish her too, he is a faithful follower of the Clan and not to mention, his respect towards the position of the Clan Leader, is immeasurable.

She accepted the punishment, but not without first....

"Little Clan Leader, whose name, we shouldn't disclose, my most sincere apologies for not having seen how big the mountain is, and not recognizing that my complacency has brought out the worst in me, thank you for not eliminating me, and for giving me a punishment according to the offenses I put you through, I'll retire now..."

Bertha gave her a bow and left with Elder Taros. But before stepping outside the library, little Mara said something to her that made her eyes light up.

"If you can work well from the bottom, and maybe one day, I'll give you your job back or give you a better one..."

With that, both Elder Taros and Bertha left. And little Mara finally had time to get a good look inside the tower.
